They finally came. The nameplates of four famous players were put on the platform of the news briefing. Four national team players, namely, Feng Xiaoting, Yang Jun, Jiang Ning, and Zhang Linfan, finally became members of Guangzhou Evergrande Club. Yesterday, the news briefing on the joining of the four players was held. But only two players were present at the briefing.

When entering the meeting place, Lee Jangsoo smiled happily at the journalists. It was really the time for him to feel happy. Along with the joining of four national team players with strength, the lineup of Evergrande which will play in Chinese Super League matches is basically determined. The nameplates of Feng Xiaoting, Yang Jun, Jiang Ning, and Zhang Linfan can be put on the platform publically instead of in a disguised manner. However, the latter two players could not be exposed to the media yet only because they had been selected as members of the current national team which would be bound for Qatar soon.

The media has been speculating on the joining of the four players for a long time. At the time when the answer to the “riddle” was revealed yesterday, people were not surprised. The joining of Zhang Linfan was discussed as early as the league matches were going on, on which the determination was the earliest; Yang Jun had fell out with his previous employer Tianjin Teda and had been unemployed for one year as a free man; Evergrande extended the olive branch to Feng Xiaoting after the league matches of Korea was finished; the employer of Jiang Ning had still persisted in saying that they would not release the player until one day before. However, everything has gone. Evergrande has determined the joining of the four players.

When introducing the process of the recruitment, Liu Yongzhuo, the chairman of board of the club, said, “When the league matches ended, Hui Ka Yan, chairman of the board of directors of the Group, put forward the target of Evergrande in the matches of Chinese Super League, namely, to tamp the foundation, to train hard, and to compete for the ranking of top 4 and guarantee the ranking of top 6. The introduction of players has been carried out according to this guiding principle. Lee Jangsoo put forward the name list of players to be introduced into the team and the club strictly selected the players with strength on behalf of Evergrande and finally determined that the four national team players would be introduced into Evergrande team”.
