ZHENG Zhi helped his new team to a 10-0 win on his return to Chinese soccer on Wednesday, a drubbing made all the easier by a pay strike that left the opposition with just two regular starters.
The former Charlton and Celtic playmaker got on the scoresheet as Guangzhou FC ran riot in its home Jia League (second division) encounter with Nanjing Youyou, which initially travelled to the match with just seven players.
The regular Nanjing players refused to participate in protest at not having been paid and the fixture was only able to go ahead after five youth team players were drafted in.
Its only substitution was a goalkeeper, who did not have his own jersey and had to use tape to change the number on the starter's shirt from 1 to 40 when he came on.
