18, 18 years old, 18, 18 points, he is still worried about that boy.

18, 18 years old; 18, 18, the representative of Luneng's 85th generation, Zhou Haibin, with a baby face, retired.

He joined the first team of Luneng in 2002 and retired in Luneng in 20 19, about 18.

/kloc-when he was 0/8 years old, he scored in A and joined the national team, becoming the youngest international at that time.

In his heyday, he wore the number 18, the word 1700, and the release time 10, 18.

clever

"Zhou Haibin is a very clever man", which was commented by many people many years ago.

This may also be a necessary trait for many midfielders. They seem to have different personalities. For example, Zhou Haibin is cheerful and Hao Junmin is handsome, but behind different personalities lies a clever heart.

When other players are rushing forward, Zhou Haibin always passes the ball to his teammates in dozens of meters. When other players try their best to grab, Zhou Haibin pays more attention to the choice of position.

Many years ago, Luneng used a diamond midfield position. Zhou Haibin was the main midfielder at that time. The outside world questioned whether Tudor used Zhou Haibin, who seems to have less defensive ability, as a single midfielder. The fact is that Zhou Haibin's fighting ability and desperate attitude are indeed inferior to that of Kelvin Cui.

Zhou Haibin's speed is not fast, which sometimes makes him unable to defend one-on-one, but he has been playing as a single defender for many years.

After the final of the National Games in 2005, Tuba made Zhou Haibin and Kelvin Cui sit on a hard sleeper all night to return to the team. The next night, they played against Guoan, and Zhou Haibin started and scored.

Zhou Haibin is not only strong in organization, but also superior to most China players in the reading competition.

This ability to read the game gives him more anticipation in defense. Later, Zheng Zhi and Hao Junmin played in the back, not relying on personal defense ability, but more on reading competition ability, which could stifle most risks.

When Zhou Haibin made his debut, he was called "the China player who is most like a European player", which is also the recognition of his reading ability and consciousness.

He has always been smart off the court. In the past many years, his image has always been sunny and clear, but in fact, he is not a player who is very willing to talk unless he is a very familiar and trusted media.

He left Luneng twice, but he was able to return to Luneng twice, especially after the second transfer, until he retired, which is also very rare in the history of Luneng, which is controlled by state-owned enterprises.

And when he left for the first time, he also angered Luneng management.

isolate

In a sense, a smart mind will bring an independent personality, which also makes Zhou Haibin one of the representatives of the Bosman Act in China football.

In those years, many players tried to leave the Super League to study abroad. Some players have been recognized by the club and successfully embarked on the road of studying abroad. Some players were not recognized by the club and finally had to choose to stay.

Zhou Haibin was not recognized by the club, but he resolutely embarked on the road of studying abroad.

At that time, Luneng fans were very angry, because in the preparation of the season, Luneng's midfield commander suddenly left, especially at that time, Luneng's strength had begun to decline, and Zhou Haibin's departure made Luneng worse, so Luneng's league record was poor, AFC Champions League record was even worse, and even many jokes were made. For this reason, many fans also blame Zhou Haibin, thinking that if Zhou Haibin were here, Luneng would not be like that.

The idea of Luneng fans is naturally reasonable, but what is wrong with pursuing dreams?

"At that time, my departure disappointed Luneng fans. I really wanted to say sorry to them, but personally, although I didn't succeed in studying abroad, I don't regret it at all. When I arrived in Holland, I finally saw what real European football was like. I haven't experienced it personally. You can't feel it just by watching TV. It was also at that time that I really knew the difference between China football and European football. The training rhythm and the intensity of confrontation are completely different. Players treat themselves.

At that time, it was reported that Luneng was prepared to take extreme measures to prevent Zhou Haibin from studying abroad, but in the end Luneng gave up the means of stopping and chose to acquiesce in Zhou Haibin's study abroad.

Zhou Haibin, who has seen the world, returned to Luneng one year later, contributing 5 goals and 7 assists during the season to help Luneng win the last Super League championship. You know, he didn't play a game in Holland in 2009.

"People's dreams can't just stay in dreams, they must be pursued. If I hadn't gone abroad, I might have retired at the age of 30. After studying abroad, I want to show what I have learned, and I have new motivation. "

Including Zhou Haibin's second departure, is also related to his personality, because he feels that he is no longer fully trusted and valued. In this case, he chose to leave.

Luneng

Every year, many players are out, but many of them are face-breaking. They all promised to return to their original team after returning home, but only Zhou Haibin did it.

"Studying abroad has always been my dream. Returning to Luneng is an emotion, and Luneng trained me. "

On 20 13, Zhou Haibin bid farewell to Luneng again, saying that he didn't feel valued and trusted at that time.

At that time, he joined the friendship club of TEDA Luneng in Tianjin. At this point, he did not confront the team again and agreed to the arrangement of the club.

This is actually a very human breakup. Luneng didn't set any obstacles for him. Zhou Haibin also took care of Luneng's feelings and laid the groundwork for his return four years later.

In the 20 17 season, Zhou Haibin returned to Luneng, and the following three years were his quiet three years. His appearances were 10, 13 and 16 respectively, of which 20 19 was the best season, and 1 assist was the key to AFC Champions League and Evergrande.

Twenty-two years ago, when he first joined Luneng at the age of 13, he probably didn't think that his fate with Luneng was so ingenious, and he went around and returned to the original starting point.

1998, Luneng took over Shandong football, and Zhou Haibin joined Luneng in the same year; In 2002, Luneng began to seek a brilliant road, and Zhou Haibin was selected for the first team; From 2004 to 2008, Zhou Haibin, who has become Luneng's main force, helped Luneng win two league titles, two FA Cup titles and 1 China Super Cup. 20 10, Zhou Haibin, who returned from studying abroad, helped Luneng win the championship again; From 20 1 1 to 20 16, Luneng experienced ups and downs, and Zhou Haibin also experienced a low ebb. From 20 17 to 20 19, Luneng was stable for three years, and Zhou Haibin spent the last three years in Luneng.

"From Luneng to Luneng, this is the perfect curtain call for my career."

COVID-19's epidemic situation is improving, and the semi-final of domestic league is just around the corner, but he can't wait.

He said that the most regrettable thing is that he failed to help Luneng win the championship again before retiring.

After turning around, Zhou Haibin will start a new life in Luneng as a coach, but the specific location remains to be revealed.

He will still help Luneng's young people, just as he helped Yunsheng Yao, Liu Junshuai and Liu Yang in the past three years.
