A few days ago, Evergrande suddenly announced that Zheng Zhi would no longer be the general manager of the club. This made many fans and the media shouted by surprise, because Zheng Zhi only stayed in the position of general manager of Evergrande Club for 48 days. After Zheng Zhi stepped down as the general manager of Evergrande, he will devote all his energy to training and competition in the future. In an interview with the media last season, Zheng Zhi made it clear that he would not retire. Therefore, when Evergrande officially gave the reason for Zheng Zhi’s resignation as the club’s general manager, it also said that Zheng Zhi believed that his body and condition were well maintained, and he could fully adapt to the tight schedule. He will represent Evergrande in the Super League as a player. And the AFC Champions League.
Zheng Zhi stepped down as the general manager of the Evergrande Club, perhaps because he was not used to this position. It is not an easy task to be the general manager of Evergrande, especially when Zheng Zhigang took office and faced the test of expiration of multiple player contracts. Zheng Zhi first came forward to get the renewal of Evergrande’s No. 2 goalkeeper Liu Weiguo. Liu Weiguo had always been a supernumerary goalkeeper at Evergrande. In the past few seasons, he has been playing for the low-level leagues of China Second and China First. Under this situation Liu Weiguo can be recalled by Evergrande, but also thanks to the team for sending away the hero Zeng Cheng. After Zeng Cheng left Evergrande, the team needed new faces in the goalkeeper position to enter the first team.
When Liu Weiguo played for Dalian Albin, he once had the experience of being out of the field, so he was called back to the Evergrande first team. Last season, Liu Weiguo got the opportunity to make his debut at Evergrande and proved himself. In addition, Liu Weiguo, as the team's substitute goalkeeper, has low requirements for the renewal of the annual salary. So when Zheng Zhi came forward to talk with Liu Weiguo about the contract renewal, it went very smoothly. Zheng Zhi’s only thorny issue in the post of General Manager of Evergrande was the renewal of the two main players Xu Xin and Liu Dianzuo. The following has not been clear.
Maybe Xu Xin and Liu Dianzuo both want to give their eldest brother Zheng Zhi face, but they really cannot accept the contract renewal treatment offered by Evergrande. When Xu Xin and Liu Dianzuo first came to Evergrande, their annual salary was much higher than the top salary of RMB 5 million before tax provided by the team. The two could not agree to a substantial salary cut to renew their contract with Evergrande just because they gave Zheng Zhi face. Perhaps Zheng Zhi, the general manager of Evergrande, felt that he had failed to facilitate the smooth renewal of Xu Xin and Liu Dianzuo, and he was a bit dereliction of duty and powerless.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Zheng Zhi still feels that his most suitable identity is a player. Zheng Zhi, who is over forty next season, will continue to represent Evergrande in the Super League and the AFC Champions League as a player. At the same time, he will also serve as the team's assistant coach to improve his management and coaching level. Zheng Zhi's performance last season is still remarkable, allowing fans to see what the older the more demon. It is believed that Zheng Zhi will continue to maintain his excellent state and help the team achieve its due good results in the Super League and the AFC in the future.
