Liao Lisheng (Chinese: 廖力生; Pinyin: Liào Lìshēng; born 29 April 1993 in Shenzhen) is a Chinese footballer who currently plays for Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League.
Club career
Liao Lisheng was born in Shenzhen in a Teochew family who originates from Jiexi.[1][2] He started to receive organized football training at the age of 9 in Guangxi Hercules Football School.[1] He trained with Zhaoqing Sunray Cave Football School, Gu Guangming Football School and Shenzhen Kingway youth team between 2005 and 2008 and finally joined Dongguan Nancheng in 2008.[1][2]
Liao was promoted to Dongguan Nancheng first team squad in 2011.[3] Liao scored three goals in 19 appearances in the group stage as Dongguan Nancheng finished the fourth place in the south group and entered the playoff stage. Liao played in all 5 matches in the playoffs, however Dongguan Nancheng lost to Chongqing F.C. 3-0 on aggregate in the semi-finals which meant they failed to be promoted to China League One directly, and then lost to Fujian Smart Hero 2-0 in the third place playoff and failed to enter to the relegation playoff.[4] Liao was then promoted as team's captain during the 2012 season. Although Dongguan was deemed as one of the hottest clubs for promotion in this season, they were knocked out by just finished the sixth place in the group stage. Liao played 23 league matches and scored four goals in the 2012 season. Liao scored the winning goal of the match in the second round of 2012 Chinese FA Cup against second tier side Tianjin Songjiang on 2 June 2012, meaning Dongguan became the first third tier club to reach the third round of FA Cup.[5] They finally ended their FA Cup journey in the third round where they were defeated by Shandong Luneng 4-0 on 27 June 2012.
After Dongguan failed to be promoted to the second tier, Liao transferred to Chinese Super League giant Guangzhou Evergrande along with his teammates Fang Jingqi, Yang Chaosheng, Li Weixin, Hu Weiwei, Zhang Xingbo and Wang Rui in November 2012.[6] He made his debut for the club on 30 October 2013 in a 1-1 draw against Shanghai East Asia.[7] On 26 February 2014, he was substituted on for Muriqui when Guangzhou was losing 2-0 in the first half in the first group match of the 2014 AFC Champions League. He provided a crucial assist to Elkeson who scored and put Guangzhou 3-2 ahead, eventually winning the match 4-2.[8] On 18 March 2014, he scored his first goal for the club in the third group match of 2014 AFC Champions League which ensured that Guangzhou beat Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors 3-1 at home.[9] He played 28 matches for the club across all competitions in the 2014 season and was named as a candidate for Chinese Football Association Young Player of the Year award; however, he lost to Shandong Luneng's Liu Binbin who instead picked up the honours.[10] On 18 March 2015, he suffered a fifth metatarsal bone fracture in a 2015 AFC Champions League match against Kashima Antlers and received surgery at Italy in April.[11]
International career
Liao made his debut for Chinese national team on 18 June 2014 in a 2-0 win against Macedonia.[12] He was called up to China's final squad for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup but didn't appear in any matches during the tournament.
