Recently, according to the latest report by blogger "Su Karamos," Wuhan Three Towns midfielder He Chao is set to embark on a new chapter in his career by joining Henan Jianye in the Chinese Super League (CSL). This news has undoubtedly attracted the attention of domestic media and focused the eyes of many fans on this experienced midfielder.
He Chao, born in 1995 in Shenyang, Liaoning, stands at 1.78 meters tall. He started his professional journey with Changchun Yatai's youth training system and stepped onto the first team stage in 2014, beginning his football dream chase. Capable of playing as a defensive midfielder or central midfielder, he has impressed with his solid technical foundation and excellent on-field awareness, gradually emerging as a rising star and earning selections for the U22 national youth team and the senior national team.
During Lippi's tenure as the national team coach, he was very fond of He Chao, stating that he saw the shadow of Zheng Zhi in him and considered him the best successor to Zheng Zhi. In 2019, He Chao moved to Guangzhou Evergrande and later went on loan to Jiangsu Suning, continuously honing himself in different team environments. Over the past three seasons representing Wuhan Three Towns, he made a total of 75 appearances, becoming an indispensable part of the midfield and helping the team win both the CSL and the Super Cup titles, writing his football career with honors.
Now at 29 years old, He Chao has a Transfermarkt value of 200,000 euros. Although his market value may seem low, his worth on the field cannot be measured solely by numbers. In the recently concluded 2024 season, he made 18 appearances for Wuhan Three Towns, starting 14 times and receiving four yellow cards, reflecting his active tackling and relentless running in midfield. With his contract with Wuhan Three Towns expiring yesterday, he has chosen to leave the team and join Henan Jianye, marking another new beginning in his personal career.
For Henan Jianye, He Chao's addition is undoubtedly a valuable asset. His wealth of match experience, both in domestic league battles and national team training, will inject new vitality and creativity into Henan's midfield. Defensively, he can rely on his excellent positional sense and interception ability to build a barrier for the team; offensively, he can create scoring opportunities for frontline players through precise passes.
From Wuhan Three Towns to Henan Jianye, He Chao's transfer is not just a personal choice but also a reflection of the flow of football talent within the country. It shows us the positive interaction between domestic football league clubs and the determination of players to pursue new challenges and breakthroughs in their careers. We believe that at Henan Jianye, He Chao will continue to chase his football dreams, fight for the team's honor, and bring more exciting moments to the fans. Let's look forward to his performance with his new club in the new season.
