[edit] Club career
While Zhao Xuri originally started his professional football career with second tier football club Dalian Saidelong he did not make an impact within the team, however top tier side Sichuan Guancheng took an interest within the youngster.[1] During the 2003 league season he would quickly rise to prominence and immediately established himself as an integral member within the team by playing in 27 league games and scoring 2 goals in his debut season.[2] The following season was to prove significantly more difficult as Zhao Xuri was injured through most of the season only making 9 appearances.[3] He was still highly regarded enough to be transferred to Dalian Shide where due to his versatility he would continue to establish himself as a regular and go on win the 2005 Chinese Super League title.
Zhao transferred to Guangzhou Evergrande on 26 December 2011, along with Rong Hao, Li Jianbin and Peng Xinli.[4] He made his official debut for Guangzhou in a 2-1 CFA Super Cup victory against Tianjin Teda on 25 February 2012.
[edit] International career
His performances for Sichuan Guancheng were impressive enough for an immediate call up to the senior national team to play in the 2003 East Asian Cup. On December 7, 2003 he would make his debut during the tournament to play in a game against South Korea that China lost 1-0.[5] During the tournament he would go on to score his first goal against Hong Kong on December 10, 2003 in a game that China won 3-1.[6] His versatility saw him gain significant playing time and go on to selected in the squad to participate in the 2007 AFC Asian Cup where he played in two group games in an unsuccessful competition for China.[7]
In 2008 Zhao Xuri was eligible to play for the Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics - Men's tournament squad where he played two of the three group games in the tournament.[8] Once the tournament ended he would find himself completely dropped from the senior team until new Head coach Gao Hongbo brought him back into the senior team during a friendly against Germany on May 29, 2009 in a 1-1 draw.[9] After the game Zhao Xuri would establish himself as an integral member within the Chinese squad and settle himself as the first choice defensive midfielder within the team.
