The defense line of Xinpeng City has become the focus of reinforcement: a number of new recruits appeared, and Jiang Zhipeng completed the physical examination

Reporter Lu Mi reports On January 4, Shenzhen Xinpeng City officially kicked off the winter training. Last season, they suffered a brutal relegation and the team was in a tight state, so the club gave the players a longer break to recuperate. During this period, the club also restructured its personnel structure for the new season, especially the backline, which was plagued by problems last season. On the day off, a number of new faces appeared in the first training, including Chengdu Rongcheng defender Yang Yiming, Qingdao West Coast goalkeeper Ji Jiabao, and the team's first official new signing, Zhang Xiaobin, is also a midfield defender. With the development of training, the free Jiang Zhipeng also arrived in Shenzhen, very close to joining.

Shenzhen Xinpeng City is one of the teams that started winter training late, after the end of last season, the club gave the team a long vacation, on the one hand, considering the fatigue of the past whole season, on the other hand, the club in the renewal of personnel, the introduction, there is still a lot of work to be done.

First of all, the Shenzhen club is determined to be the coach position of the new season during the holiday. Last season, Lattanzio took over the last three games and led the team to complete the relegation under great pressure and the situation was very unoptimistic. This also laid the foundation for him to become the coach of the team for the new season. After the team took the holiday, the first official announcement was the confirmation of the coaching staff. At the same time, on the basis of the original coaching staff, Shenzhen Xinpeng City also hired Italian Antonelo Brambilla as the goalkeeper coach, Brambilla has worked in Serie A, Ligue 1 and other national league clubs, and has worked with Ranieri, Hodgson and other famous coaches.

At the same time as the head coach's official announcement, they also came to Shenzhen, and officially began to lead the team to start the first practice of Shenzhen Xinpeng City on January 4. And on this day, there are also many new faces in the first team, mainly in the midfield. First of all, in the goalkeeper position, Xinpeng City has begun to look for players before the winter transfer period opens, Liu Dianzuo and Ji Jiabao are the players that the club focuses on, but almost at the same time, Liu Dianzuo chose Chengdu Rongcheng, and Ji Jiabao came to Shenzhen Xinpeng City.

In the back line, Heilongjiang Bingcheng defender Zhang Yujie and Chengdu Rongcheng defender Yang Yiming both appeared on the training ground on the 4th. For Shenzhen Xinpeng City, the backline, which was adjusted several times last season, has repeatedly had problems in critical periods, resulting in the team becoming the team that conceded the fifth most goals in the Chinese Super League. Therefore, in the new season, the adjustment in the central and back fields will undoubtedly be the focus of the club's reinforcement.

In this transfer period, Shenzhen focuses on the players targeted by Jiang Zhipeng from Wuhan Three Towns. Like Liu Dianzuo, he did not stay in Wuhan after regaining his free body, and also received offers from many clubs in the transfer market. He had previously played for the Shenzhen team, which also gave him another reason to choose to join Shenzhen. Although he is 35 years old, after he joined Wuhan Three Towns, he has a very dedicated attitude and good statistics, especially when the club is in difficulty, he overcame injuries, contributed 28 appearances, 2 goals and 3 assists, if it is not for the suspension in the middle, he may have been able to contribute more.

At a time when mature left-footed defenders are very scarce, he can also rely on his experience and ability to increase the support for the back line of Shenzhen Xinpeng City. It is understood that Jiang Zhipeng has arrived in Shenzhen a few days ago and completed the physical examination.

Zhang Xiaobin is the first player officially announced by Shenzhen Xinpeng City after the transfer window opened, he is the player locked by the club early, and he also arrived on the day of the first training. The upgrade of domestic players in the midfield is also a necessary move for Xinpeng City. Zhang Xiaobin joined Wuhan Three Towns in the 2021 season, and before he left, he was the player with the most appearances in the team's history, during which he brought Wuhan Three Towns the Chinese League League, the Chinese Super League and a Super Cup title.

Although the club has a late winter training, the recruitment work has been started very early, and it will be supplemented in terms of foreign aid in the future, and domestic aid may be introduced if it is suitable. At present, the first phase of the winter training of the first team of Shenzhen Xinpeng City in the new season lasts from January 4 to January 26, in Shenzhen, during which the team participates as the main force of the Guangdong team in the Provincial and Hong Kong Cup; After the Spring Festival holiday, on February 1, we will focus on the holiday and go to Thailand to carry out the second phase of training, which will last until February 14, during which a number of warm-up matches will be arranged.
