Retirement time of Chinese Super League players

China Super League (Super League) is the highest-level professional football league in China, attracting a large number of outstanding players to participate. As the level of competition improves and age grows, players will eventually face the problem of retiring. As time goes by, more and more Chinese Super League players have announced their retirement, and their departure is also very touching.

Some players choose to retire at the peak of their careers, such as former international Feng Xiaoting, who announced his retirement in 2019 when he had just turned 30. Feng Xiaoting is a central defender who has performed well at home and abroad. He has played in many leagues such as the Super League, the Premier League, and the Portuguese Premier League. He is known as the "model of defense line" of China football. After he retired, many fans still hope that he can continue to contribute to China football.

There are also some players who choose to retire at an older age, such as Zeng Cheng, the oldest player in the history of the Super League. Zeng Cheng is an excellent goalkeeper. He performed well during his tenure with the Liaoning Football Team. He was selected for the national team and participated in several important competitions. However, as he grew older, his condition gradually declined, and he finally chose to end his football career at the age of 38.

Of course, there are also some players who have to retire early when they are young due to various reasons. For example, former international Zhang Yaokun played for Guangzhou Evergrande from 2003 to 2012, but due to long-term injuries, he had no choice but to retire in 2014. Retirement was undoubtedly a huge blow for him, but he chose to re-transform and is currently serving as the youth training coach of Guangzhou Evergrande.

The retirement times of Chinese Super League players vary, ranging from those who retire at the peak of their careers to those who choose to end their football careers when they are older. No matter when they retire, these players are treasures of China football. They have made great contributions to China football. I believe that their departure will also bring new opportunities and reforms to China football.
