Shanghai Harbour Club issued an announcement this afternoon announcing that two national team players, Zhang Linpeng and Xu Xin, have joined the team.
After friendly consultation, player Zhang Linpeng officially joined Shanghai Harbor Football Club.
Zhang Linpeng, from chongming Genbao Football Base, is the main defender of the national team, making 92 appearances for the national football team and scoring 5 goals. Zhang Linpeng began playing in the Chinese Second Division and the Chinese First League with Shanghai East Asia Football Club (the predecessor of Shanghai Harbor Football Club) in 2006. In 2011, Zhang Linpeng left Shanghai to join Guangzhou Football Club. In the 11 seasons of Guangzhou, Zhang Linpeng made a total of 328 appearances for the team in various competitions, and as a defender he contributed 18 goals to the team, and won many championships with the team, such as the AFC Champions League, the Chinese Super League, the Chinese Football Association Cup and the Chinese Football Association Super Cup.
In the past few years, whenever the Harbor team and the Guangzhou team played, Zhang Linpeng, who came to the home of the harbor, always ushered in a round of applause from the harbor fans, and I believe that in the hearts of the harbor fans, Zhang Linpeng has always occupied an important position.
Welcome Zhang Linpeng "home", hope that his joining can help the team further strengthen the thickness of the defense, look forward to the 2022 season, we see Zhang Linpeng and the former good brothers reunited on the field, where their dreams began, and then set off.
After friendly consultation, player Xu Xin officially joined Shanghai Harbor Football Club.
Xu Xin was born in 1994, plays as a defender, and is an active national team player. In 2010, Xu Xin entered the youth training system of Atletico Madrid in La Liga, and in 2014, he began to represent Atletico Madrid C in the Spanish Serie C league, and was promoted to Atletico Madrid B in the same year. In December 2015, Xu Xin returned to China to join Guangzhou Football Club, during which time, the team won many championships such as the Chinese Super League, the Chinese Football Association Cup, and the Chinese Football Association Super Cup. In 2021, Xu Xin joined Shandong Taishan Football Club and won the 2021 Chinese Super League and the Chinese Football Association Cup with the team.
As a midfielder, Xu Xin has a certain ability to organize and sort out, has a broad field of vision, and can fight well. I hope that his joining will help the team further improve its midfield strength, and at the same time, I hope that he will quickly integrate into the technical and tactical play of the Harbor team and work together with the team to achieve good results.
