May 4, 2021 is a memorable day for Zibo Cuju Club investor He Shihua. China League One round 3 Zibo Cuju against Sichuan Jiuniu until the 90th minute, 35-year-old He Shihua finally got his wish, although he didn't even touch a single ball during the 7 minutes of injury time.
In the past 2020 season, Zibo Cuju has repeatedly exposed scandals of arrears of wages. When the club is likely to withdraw from the professional league, He Shihua became the one who invested in saving Zibo Cuju. He Shihua's love for football has long been well known. When he invested in Sichuan Huakun Football Club last season, he had a record in the China Champions League. Therefore, it is generally believed that it is only a matter of time before he appears in the China Champions League. In the second round of the China League One, He Shihua was included in the substitute list of Zibo Cuju team. Because the team's performance in that game was not ideal, he was finally defeated by Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard 2-3, so He Shihua never appeared on the field. In this round of matches with Sichuan Jiuniu, neither side was able to get many good opportunities. It was under such circumstances that He Shihua played in the 90th minute and became another Chinese Football Club investor who appeared in the professional league.
It is reported that before the start of the season, He Shihua and Zibo Cuju coaching staff had a consensus on whether they would make it to the China League One. The team coach Huang Hongyi said that the boss's participation will not affect his deployment of the game.
It is worth mentioning that He Shihua is not the first club owner to appear in the professional league in Chinese football in history. As an investor of the Liaoning Shenyang City Football Club, Zhuang Yi , who played for Shenyang Haishi in the A-A era and was selected as a national team many times, has appeared on the China League Two field many times. This season, Shenyang City, Liaoning City will participate in the China League One, and Zhuang Yi, who is already 48, is still on the list of players for the team.
In addition, there is also a famous Chinese Super League club owner who made a debut in his team's game, but it was not in the professional league. In 2007, Shanghai Shenhua team went to the Netherlands to participate in the Port Cup in the local traditional event. What no one expected was that in the starting list of Shanghai Shenhua against Liverpool , the person wearing the No. 16 jersey was Shenhua boss Zhu Jun. Although he only ran on the court for 5 minutes in the end, being able to face players like Hypia, Benayon, and Torres in such a formal invitational match is worthy of his love for football and his life.
