Wang Zhenpeng (traditional Chinese: 王振鵬; simplified Chinese: 王振鹏, born 5 May 1984) is a Chinese-born Hong Kong professional footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for Hong Kong Premier League club Kitchee.

Club career

[edit]

Dalian Shide

[edit]

Wang started his professional football career in 2002 when he was promoted to the senior team of top tier Chinese side Dalian Shide. Throughout the season he was used as a third-choice goalkeeper and did not see any playing time, however, he did see his side win the 2002 league title that season and did pick up a medal.[1] His time at Dalian, however would see him struggle to receive any playing time and he would even struggle to even maintain his third choice position within the team by the 2005 league season, which saw him dropped from the first team squad.[2]

Kitchee

[edit]

This would see Wang move to Hong Kong–based club Kitchee in 2005 and make his league debut on 18 September 2005 against Sun Hei in a 2–0 victory. As the season progressed he went on to become the club's first-choice goalkeeper and play in twelve games at the end of the 2005–06 season that saw Kitchee win the Hong Kong Senior Challenge Shield, while also coming fourth within the league.[3]

The following season would see Wang face stiff competition from Hong Kong U-23 goalkeeper Li Jian and only play in ten league games, however he was able to regain his place within the team and play in the final of the Hong Kong Senior Challenge Shield on 23 December 2007, but Wang did not have a good game and saw himself commit two goalkeeping mistakes that led to Kitchee losing 2–0 to Eastern.[4] Despite the disappointment, Wang still remained as the club's main goalkeeper and play in the final that won the 2006–07 Hong Kong League Cup as well as starting the following season as the first choice where he played in fifteen league games throughout the 2007–08 season. By finishing in a disappointing sixth the club's manager Julio César Moreno would decide to drop Wang during the 2008–09 season and replace him with Song Tao and Luciano, which saw Wang only play in six league games at the end of the season.

Kitchee would bring in Josep Gombau as their new manager in the 2009–10 season and he would make Sergio Aure his first choice goalkeeper. Wang would only play in five league games throughout the season and sat on the bench while the club won the 2009 Hong Kong Community Shield, however, he would win back his position as the club's main goalkeeper in the 2010–11 league season when he played in all but one game throughout the league season as Kitchee won the league title for the first time since 1964.

International career

[edit]

Wang has been called up several times to the Hong Kong national football team, without making an appearance.

On 3 June 2016, he made his international debut against Vietnam during the 2016 AYA Bank Cup.[5]
