The meritorious veterans of the Guangzhou team are leaving one by one, after Zeng Cheng, Feng Xiaoting, Gao Lin, Yu Hanchao, and now another meritorious veteran has left the team, or returned to Wuhan with fallen leaves and become the new captain of the three towns in Wuhan.
In Guangzhou's last game against Shanghai Harbor, a familiar old face was found on the bench, and he was Mei Fang, the 32-year-old team's defense coach this year. It's been a long time since May left the fans' sights, and this season has played only three games in late April and early May, one start, two substitutes, adding up to 140 minutes.
The reason why Mei Fang has less playing time is mainly because he is too glassy. Every time he came back and couldn't play two games, he would be injured again and recuperate for a long time. When Mei Fang first joined the Guangzhou team, his performance in the back line was not recognized, and fans said that he was a big loophole in the defense, mainly because Mei Fang turned slowly and was not fast. However, with the passage of time, and the run-in between him and his teammates getting better and better, Mei Fang slowly changed from a defensive loophole to a gate for the team's defense.
Unfortunately, Mei Fang has just gained a foothold in the team, because of his glass man's physique, it is difficult to see him appear on the field for two or three seasons. Now in the team's backline, there is no longer a position for Mei Fang, coupled with his injury, even if Mei Fang stays in Guangzhou, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have a chance to play again, and his contract with the team has expired, only leaving is the only way out.
After the contract expired, Mei Fang had already posted a long message on social media to say goodbye to the team, thanking his coaches and teammates in Guangzhou for the past 7 years, including Lippi, Scolari, Cannavaro and Zheng Zhi.
Mei Fang was transferred to Guangzhou Evergrande from Wuhan Zhuoer on January 1, 2014, and this role was 7 years. Mei Fang itself is a Wuhan native, and now after leaving the Guangzhou team, it is likely that it will return to Wuhan, but the team that joined is not the Wuhan team, but another Wuhan three towns that have just been promoted to success.
According to Zhou Wenjian, a reporter from Guangdong Sports, Mei Fang is likely to bring two or three young players from Guangzhou to Wuhan Sanzhen next season. This news should be true, and Mei Fang joined the three towns of Wuhan to understand. Wuhan three towns are also a local tycoon team, it is not easy to promote the success, there will definitely be a big move, recruiting and hoping to complete the Kaiserslautern myth after the promotion of Guangzhou Evergrande that year.
A few days ago, it was reported that Zhang Xizhe, Zou Dehai and others from Beijing Guoan would go to the three towns of Wuhan. Mei Fang returned to Wuhan, he is likely to become the new captain of the team, leading the team to gain a foothold in the Chinese Super League, while also launching an attack on the championship. For the fans of the Guangzhou team, Mei Fang's departure is also reasonable, but I don't know who are the young players who accompanied Mei Fang to join the three towns of Wuhan?
