Chen Zhizhao Chinese: 陈志钊; pinyin: Chén Zhìzhāo; born 14 March 1988), known as Zizao in Brazil, is a Chinese former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.

In his career he represented

Guangzhou R&F in the Chinese Super League
before ending his career.

Club career

Chen Zhizhao started his football career playing for

Wofoo Tai Po on 18 May 2008 that saw Citizen win 2-0.[4]

Chen moved back to mainland China and signed a five-year contract with

Shanghai Shenxin) on 26 February 2009.[5] He scored three goals as Nanchang finished second in the China League One and won promotion to the Chinese Super League
for the first time. He scored ten goals and assisted eight times in thirty appearances which secured Nanchang's stay in the top flight for the next season.

Chen was linked with

Liga de Honra side C.D. Trofense in January 2011. Trofense was interested with Chen, but Nanchang blocked this transfer. According to Chen's contract with the club on 26 February 2009, if a non-Chinese football club provided a bid of around €200,000 for him before 26 February 2011, then Nanchang would accept the transfer without any condition.[5] However, Nanchang insisted that €200,000 was provided by Chen's agency instead of the Portuguese club; besides, in the new contract which signed in early 2010, there were no related contract terms, so they had enough reasons to block this transfer.[6][7] Chen refused to return to the club after this incident.[8] He didn't make any appearances for the club in the 2011 season
and instead played for Panyu Pearl, a futsal team in his hometown.

In February 2012, Chen was loaned to

Shanghai Shenxin
after the 2013 season.

On 28 February 2014, Chen transferred to fellow Chinese Super League side

Harbin Yiteng
.

On 22 December 2015, Chen transferred to his hometown club

Shanghai SIPG.[16] Although just being cautioned, he received a ban of 7 matches by the Chinese Football Association.[17] In September 2020 Chen made his 100th appearance for Guangzhou R&F.[18] On 2 February 2023 he would retire from professional football.[19]
