On January 11th, Beijing time, the Chinese Super League team Wuhan Three Towns, which is preparing for the new season, played a friendly match against the China League Two team Guizhou Zhucheng Athletic Team. The purpose of this friendly match for Wuhan Three Towns was to evaluate the abilities of young players and trial players. Additionally, since the opponent, Guizhou Zhucheng Athletic Team, had no foreign players, Wuhan Three Towns fielded an all-Chinese lineup consisting entirely of U-21 players and trial players for a full-Chinese contest.
The match ended with a 1-0 victory for Wuhan Three Towns. The goal was scored by Tan Jiaye, who was loaned to Haikou Mingcheng Team last season by Wuhan Three Towns. The assist was provided by Wuhan Three Towns' U-21 player Zou Zhenxiang. After Wuhan Three Towns successfully won this friendly match, what the fans were most concerned about was not the result of the game but the well-known player Tang Shi who came to the team for trials. As a native of Hubei, Tang Shi returned to his hometown to participate in trials with the Chinese Super League team Wuhan Three Towns. His performance on the field also attracted the attention of Wuhan Three Towns fans. Although Tang Shi made an appearance in the game, he did not complete any assists or score any goals.
Born in 1995, Tang Shi is no stranger to Wuhan fans, nor is he unfamiliar to Shandong fans. As one of the twin stars of Luneng's youth training in the 95 age group, he and Wei Shihao are considered the best players of their age group in Luneng's youth training. Unfortunately, although both Tang Shi and Wei Shihao have played for the once-renowned Chinese Super League powerhouse Guangzhou Team after leaving the Taishan Team, Tang Shi has since been playing in the China League One teams. Last season, he played for Heilongjiang Ice City in the China League One. Now that this well-known midfielder, who is as famous as Wei Shihao, is likely to stay with Wuhan Three Towns, it is hoped that Tang Shi can return to the Chinese Super League and showcase his skills again, becoming the strongest playmaker in Wuhan Three Towns' midfield.
