KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - China captain Zheng Zhi on Saturday revealed he is
in talks with "one or two" clubs about a move back to the English Premier
League.
The 26-year-old attacking midfielder impressed during his loan spell with
Charlton Athletic but returned to Shandong Luneng when the Addicks were
relegated last season.
"Currently my agent is talking to one or two English Premier League
clubs," Zheng said.
"I definitely want to go back to the Premier League but I'm just focusing
on this tournament. I'm sure my performances here will be better for my
experiences in England."
Zheng's men will line up against Iran on Sunday in a re-match of the 2004
Asian Cup semi-final which China won on penalties.
"It's an outstanding glory to be captain of the national team but I also
have to communicate efficiently with the players and change formations,"
he said.
"Every match is crucial for us as every result will affect the final
ranking of the group, especially tomorrow's game. We definitely want to
win and finish first."
China lead Group C on goal difference after hammering co-hosts Malaysia
5-1 in their opening match. The group winner will avoid a punishing
travel schedule in the knock-out stages.
