Zhao Mingjian (simplified Chinese: 赵明剑; traditional Chinese: 趙明劍; pinyin: Zhào Míngjiàn; born 22 November 1987 in Dalian, Liaoning) is a Chinese footballer who plays as a right-midfielder for Shandong Luneng in the Chinese Super League.
Club career
Zhao Mingjian broke into the senior team Dalian Shide F.C. at the beginning of the 2005 Chinese Super League season after graduating from their youth team. He would make his debut senior appearance for Dalian on the 22nd of May 2005 against Shanghai Shenhua in a 2–1 defeat.[1] As a promising midfielder Zhao Mingjian would play in several further games during the season and go on to win the league title and Chinese FA Cup with Dalian at the end of the league season.[2] The following seasons he would gradually establish himself as a squad regular within the team, however it was during the 2008 Chinese Super League season when Zhao confirmed himself as a vital member within the club by playing in the majority of the season and also scoring his first league goal against Changchun Yatai on November 9, 2008 in a 3–2 defeat.[3] He became one of the few constants within the team that went through a transitional period where several managers and many youth players came in during a very disappointing season which saw the team flirt with relegation.[4] The following season saw him continue his role as the team's first choice right-midfielder and with a young squad saw the team finish in a more respectable eighth within the league.[5]
