| Position | Defender |
A defender of great capability he has had a long career spending a short time in England. He began playing at Dalian Shide where he had graduated from the junior side for whom he signed at the age of eleven. He played for the junior team, then the senior side and for China at the Olympic games before making the national side. He has been captain of all of the teams he has played for and was only recently replaced at the heart of the defence in the national side. He had a trial for Grimsby Town in 2000 and played several games on loan scoring three goals but returned to China and Dalian Shide to ensure being picked for the World Cup despite being a target for Crystal Palace. He has had several niggling injuries this season that ruled him out of most of the qualifying matches, he is fully fit now but may only find himself on the bench here.
