A few days ago, according to football reporter Cheng Jinchao, Evergrande coach Cannavaro had asked the team to bring in goalkeeper Zhang Lu from Tianhai before the start of the Super League this season. However, the team did not satisfy him. This news has aroused heated discussion among many fans. Some fans believe that it is necessary for Evergrande to introduce Zhang Lu. Because Evergrande left Zeng Cheng in the goalkeeper position, the thickness of the team's bench was obviously not enough. So in this case, the team had to promote the young goalkeeper Liu Shibo, and at the same time recalled Liu Weiguo, who had been renting out.
Liu Shibo is a new-generation goalkeeper at Evergrande, who is regarded as a leader with outstanding ability and characteristics. He was once selected for the 97 National Olympic team coached by Hiddink. At that time, Hiddink admired Liu Shibo's ability and believed that the goalkeeper could start in the team. Therefore, when Liu Shibo played in the National Olympics Invitational, he once secured the position of the team's main goalkeeper. However, as soon as Liu Shibo was on the rise in the Olympic team, he was hit by his mentor Hiddink. After
Hiddink left the Olympic team because of a poor team record, the successor Hao Wei did not recognize Liu Shibo's ability. Liu Shibo lost the 97 National Olympic team to play in the U23 Asian Cup squad, which made him very depressed. After all, for Liu Shibo in the U23 Asian Cup, his career is just such a chance.
Liu Shibo lost the U23 Asian Cup National Olympic squad, his career began to trough. Cannavaro wanted to promote him to Evergrande's No. 2 goalkeeper, but Liu Shibo, who was unlucky, was injured. Let Liu Weiguo, who has been renting out, get a chance to play. Liu Weiguo has secured the position of No. 2 goalkeeper in Evergrande this season. This has formed the grand scene of Evergrande's first team goalkeeper three Liu Qi, including the main goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo, the second goalkeeper Liu Weiguo, and the third goalkeeper Liu Shibo. Liu Dianzuo, as a popular national gate, has no problem with his ability to start at Evergrande.
However, the two substitute goalkeepers Liu Weiguo and Liu Shibo have a common shortcoming that the time spent playing the main players in the Super League is too short. Once Liu Dianzuo is injured and unable to play, it is a huge unknown whether Liu Weiguo and Liu Shibo can stand up and provoke the goalkeeper of the team. Therefore, in this case, Evergrande coach Cannavaro asked the club to introduce Zhang Lu before the start of the Super League this season. It is not a mess of mandarin ducks.
Zhang Lu was once Cannavaro's confidant and beloved when he worked for Tianjin Quanjian. Cannavaro is very knowledgeable about Zhang Lu's ability, and Zhang Lu's personal ability can rank among the top five domestic goalkeepers. He once relied on his outstanding performance in Quanjian to be selected into the final list of the national football team to play in the Asian Cup. If it were not for the drunk driving incident, Zhang Lu would not fall into a career trough.
played a second goalkeeper in Evergrande with Zhang Lu's ability, which is definitely more than enough. It's just why Evergrande didn't introduce Zhang Lu for two reasons. The first is that Zhang Lu had a history of drunk driving. Evergrande does not want to introduce such a problematic goalkeeper. As the second popular national footballer, Zhang Lu will definitely get the top salary of the national football team if he comes to Evergrande.
gives a replacement goalkeeper a salary of 12 million, which seems a bit too worthwhile. Therefore, in this case, Evergrande did not introduce Zhang Lu, but tapped the potential internally. Zhang Lu joined the Shenzhen Football Club freely and came back to play as the starting goalkeeper in the second half of the league.
