In this transfer window, the new Chinese League One team Dalian Zhixing once again has good news. After three old Dalian players, Fei Yu, Lu Peng and Lu Zhuoyi, have confirmed to join the team, a former Dalian player is expected to join. For the battle, he is "18-year-old general" Yan Xiangchuang.
Yan Xiangchuang, 37, is a forward, winger and Dalian player. When he was young, Yan Xiangchuang entered Qinhuangdao Football School to start football training, and later joined the Bayi Team. After the Bayi team was disbanded, Yan Xiangchuang joined Beijing Guoan in the 2004 season and played for Beijing Guoan for 8 seasons, representing the team in 182 appearances and contributing 21 goals. In the summer window of the 2011 season, Yan Xiangchuang returned to his hometown team Dalian Shide and played for the team for one and a half seasons. Yan Xiangchuang represented the team in 24 appearances and scored 2 goals. In the penultimate round of the 2012 season against the Henan team, Yan Xiangchuang scored the only goal of the game to help Dalian Shide complete its relegation task. This goal was also the last goal in the history of the Dalian Shide team. After Shide was disbanded, Yan Xiangchuang successively joined Guizhou Renhe, Harbin Yiteng and Beijing Beijing Sports University. In the winter window of the 2022 season, Yan Xiangchuang returned to his hometown again and joined the Dalian team.
After joining the Dalian team, Yan Xiangchuang became the team's main center. He played 29 times in the 2022 season and contributed 4 goals and 9 assists. He was tied with Xie Pengfei for the most assists in the domestic player that season. Although he had an outstanding performance at the beginning of the season, scoring three goals in the first four rounds and winning the Player of the Month, the number of starts for Yan Xiangchuang in the 23rd season was significantly reduced compared to the previous season, with only 13 starts. In the last relegation battle of the season, Yan Xiangchuang created two penalty kicks and scored one penalty kick. Unfortunately, the other penalty kick created by Yan Xiangchuang was missed by Tsonev, and the Dalian team also Sorry for the downgrade. With the disbandment of the Dalian team, the penalty kick scored by Yan Xiangchuang became the last goal in the history of the Dalian team.
In this winter window, although Yan Xiangchuang is 37 years old, there is no shortage of suitors. It was previously reported that Yan Xiangchuang is expected to join Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. However, the players do not seem to go to the team for trial training like Lin Longchang and Gui Zihan. Instead, after participating in Zhu Ting's live broadcast, news of joining Dalian Zhixing came out. It is said that in Zhu Ting's live broadcast, a large number of Dalian fans hope that Yan Xiangchuang can stay in Dalian. Is this a reason for Yan Xiangchuang to stay in Dalian?
At this stage, Yan Xiangchuang and Dalian Zhixing are in negotiations. I believe that both parties can sign a contract that is satisfactory to both parties, allowing Yan Xiangchuang to put on the blue jersey again, fight for his hometown team, and Fight for Dalian!
