Timeline

1989

Zhang Linpeng (born 9 May 1989) is a Chinese professional footballer who plays as a defender for Chinese Super League club Shanghai Port and the China national team.

Zhang is known by the nickname “Zhangmos” for his similarity in looking and playing to Sergio Ramos.

An offensive minded defender, Zhang is also known for his tackling ability and aerial game in China.

He was highly praised by Italian manager Marcello Lippi who described him as "the best Chinese footballer in the Chinese Super League".

2006

Zhang Linpeng would play as a youngster for the Genbao Football Academy before he graduated to the Shanghai East Asia's first team at the beginning of the 2006 league season.

2007

With the club in the third tier, Zhang quickly made an impression within the team when he was part of the squad that won promotion to the second tier at the end of the 2007 league season.

2008

Zhang worked his way up through various youth levels, first by playing for the Chinese under-20 national team in the 2008 AFC U-19 Championship where he captained the team to the quarter-finals.

2009

Within the second tier, Zhang played a major part in ensuring the club remained in the division and by the 2009 season, the club finished fourth and just missed out on promotion.

His performance for his club then saw him receive an unexpected call-up to the Chinese national team where he impressed many by scoring on his debut against Jordan, and he became one of the most sought-after players in China.

This saw him promoted to the Chinese under-23 national team to play in the 2009 East Asian Games where China disappointingly were knocked out in the group stage.

Despite the under-23 national team's failures, Zhang's performances were considered good enough for then manager Gao Hongbo to unexpectedly call him up to the national team even though he was playing for a second-tier side.

He made an impressive international debut on 30 December 2009 in a 2–2 draw against Jordan, scoring on his debut as well.

2010

In November 2010, Zhang joined Chinese Super League club Guangzhou Evergrande for a fee of ¥12 million.

After his debut, Zhang was called up to the squad that won the 2010 East Asian Football Championship before establishing himself as a regular for the team that took part in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup.

2011

He made his debut for the club on 2 April 2011 in a 1–0 win against Dalian Shide.

Zhang played in all three of China's matches at the 2011 Asian Cup, scoring in the team's 2–0 win over Kuwait.

He married his girlfriend Wang Qiaozhi on 21 May 2011 and their son was born on 1 September 2014.

2012

Throughout the season, Zhang was used as a squad player as Guangzhou won their first ever league title at the end of the 2012 season.

2013

He soon established himself as a mainstay in the team's backline during the 2013 season, leading the club to a third straight league title as well as an AFC Champions League title, the first in the club's history.

2015

During preseason before the 2015 season, Zhang sustained a medial accessory ligament tear on his left knee joint on 7 February 2015 in a friendly match against Hangzhou Greentown.

While recovering from his surgery in Italy, Zhang was linked with Serie A side Inter Milan with manager Roberto Mancini also confirming his interest in Zhang.

However, Guangzhou insisted that Zhang was worth €10 million which far exceeded what Inter was willing to pay.

After recovering from injury, Zhang came on as a substitute and scored a goal on 3 April 2015 in a 2–1 loss against Henan Jianye.

He then went on to score a 60-meter goal on 12 April 2015 in a 6–1 win against Liaoning Whowin.

On 28 May 2015, he suffered a reoccurrence of a left knee strain on 27 May 2015 in a 2–0 win against Seongnam FC.

On 20 July 2015, Zhang extended his contract with Guangzhou until 31 December 2020.

Zhang returned from injury on 12 August 2015 in a 1–0 win against Jiangsu Sainty.

On 28 August 2015, Premier League side Chelsea made an offer to Guangzhou for Zhang, hoping to complete the transfer before the summer transfer window closed; however, the deal couldn't be completed due to limited time while the two clubs failed to agree on certain terms during negotiations.

Zhang stayed at Evergrande and won his second AFC Champions League title with the team at the end of the season.

On 29 April 2022, Zhang transferred back to his old side Shanghai Port.

On 29 October 2023, Zhang won his ninth league title and first one with Shanghai Port after a 1-1 home draw against direct competitor Shandong Taishan.

He also started in all four of China's matches at the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, where the team reached the quarter-finals, losing to hosts and eventual winners Australia in Brisbane.

2019

Zhang appeared at his third AFC Asian Cup in 2019 and played the full 90 minutes in all of the team's first four matches.

However, he was suspended for the quarter-final against Iran, which China lost 3–0.

On 21 November 2023, Zhang made his 100th appearance for the national team in a 3-0 home defeat against South Korea in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification.

In December 2023, Zhang was named in China's squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar, again played full 90 minutes in all 3 group matches in his fourth tournament and captained the team in the first two.
