Club career

Zhu Chenjie started his football career when he transferred to Shanghai Shenhua's youth academy in March 2018 after the club bought Genbao Football Base's under-19 players.[1] He was promoted to the first team squad in the 2018 season.[2] Zhu made his debut for the club on 22 July 2018 in a 2–2 away draw against Henan Jianye.[3] In doing so at 17 years and 333 days old, he became the youngest player ever to start for Shanghai Shenhua.[4] On 30 September 2018, he scored his first senior goal in a 3–1 home win against Guangzhou R&F, becoming the youngest goalscorer ever for the club aged 18 years and 38 days as well as the first player born after 2000 to score in the Chinese Super League.[5]

International career

Zhu made his debut for the Chinese national team on 7 June 2019 in a 2–0 win against the Philippines, coming on as a substitute for Ji Xiang in the 33rd minute.[6] On 24 March 2022, Zhu scored his first international goal in a 1–1 draw against Saudi Arabia in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification, converting in a second-half penalty. He then became the first Chinese player born in the 21st century to debut, provide an assist and score a goal for the national team.[7]

On 20 July 2022, Zhu captained the national team for the first time against South Korea in the 2022 EAFF E-1 Football Championship, however he inadvertently headed in an own goal in the first half of an eventual 3–0 defeat.[8]
