Hu Rentian ( Chinese  胡人天 , Pinyin Hú Rentian * 21st January 1991 in Chengdu , Sichuan ) is a Chinese football player at the position of midfielder , who since 2009 for Tianjin Teda in the Chinese Super League play. In 2016 he made his debut in the senior national team of his home country .

Club career

Hu Rentian was born on January 21, 1991 in the provincial capital of Chengdu, Sichuan Province and began his career as a club player in 1999 when he joined Gaofengwen Football Academy . There he trained in various youth league classes in the years that followed, and in September 2007 he moved with six other outstanding players from the academy to the junior division of Chinese first division team Tianjin Teda . After two years in the club's own offspring, the then 18-year-old switched to the men's team in 2009 , where he made his professional debut on August 30, 2009. He was substituted on for Han Yanming in the 67th minute of the 1-0 away win over Jiangsu Suning and scored the winning goal in the 88th minute. During this time he appeared alongside the former Italian international Damiano Tommasi and was considered to be the future successor to his position due to his resemblance to Hao Junmin , who had migrated to FC Schalke 04 . By the end of the season he made eight more league appearances, in which he himself remained goalless. In the final ranking of the partly quite tightly staggered table, he reached sixth place with his team and was himself selected for the newcomer selection of the Chinese Super League. After Arie Haan took over the coaching position at the beginning of the 2010 game year , Hu continued to play in his role as a substitute and was used in twelve championship games over the course of the year, where he again contributed a goal. In the final table he ranked with Tianjin Teda with a clear 13 points behind Shandong Luneng Taishan in second place in the table, which was rated as one of the greatest successes in the club's history since 1957. Before that, they were champions of the Jia-A League in 1960, 1980 and 1983, which was, however, still a semi-professional league, and in 1960 they were Chinese Cup winners , but they have not yet been able to celebrate any real success in professional football. Due to the table placement, Hu and his team took part in the 2011 AFC Champions League in the following year , where he and Tianjin Teda advanced to the second round after a second place in Group E, where the team finally beat Jeonbuk Motors from South Korea 3-0 was subject.

A year later, Hu and his team had their first major success in professional football when they entered the quarter-finals of the Chinese Football Cup 2011 and after a first 2-0 win over Shaanxi Renhe , when Hu Rentian also scored a goal, and a 2: 0 victory in the semifinals against Shanghai Shenhua advanced to the final. This was won against Shandong Luneng Taishan 2-0, with Hu's teammate Wang Xinxin being one of the main performers, as he had scored a goal in all three games. In this game year he was able to bring it to increased stakes in the league, where he ranked 10th after 15 league games and three goals with his team. Due to the cup victory in 2011, the team took part in the group stage of the AFC Champions League the following year , where Tianjin Teda, however, as the last in Group G, was eliminated from the current tournament early. In the Chinese Super League 2012 Hu came back to a few missions, with seven league missions, none of which he was on the field for the full game, only 192 minutes. In the again quite tightly staggered final classification, he reached eighth place in the table with Tianjin Teda and was eliminated in the cup after the first game on penalties against Shandong Luneng Taishan after, among other things, he had also missed a penalty. The change of coach also changed his role (as a substitute player) in the team, Josip Kuže came before the 2012 game year and was replaced by Alexandre Guimarães after a few months . Hu was able to record eight goalless championship appearances, none of which he played for the full length of the game, at the end of the 2013 season when he and his team finished eleventh in the table.

At the age of 23, he did not become a regular player until the 2014 game year , when he was used in 29 of the 30 possible league games. He came again under Arie Haan, who took over the coaching post for the second time after 2010 and 2011 from January 2014, and controlled four league goals, including a brace in a 2-0 away win over Liaoning Hongyun on April 20, at. After 2012 and 2013, the Chinese football cup was eliminated early in 2014. In 2015 Hu was also part of the regular squad of the Dutch head coach, but was involved with the team in the relegation battle until the end and ended the season in 13th place in the table. The 24-year-old midfielder made 25 championship appearances and scored three goals. In the Chinese Cup of 2015, the club from the port city of Tianjin lost again early; this time in the fourth round, the team's second game. Even after the handover of the coaching office to the Serbian Dragan Okuka , Hu retained his traditional position in midfield and so far (as of August 1, 2016) he has played in all 20 championship games of his team and scored three goals, including a double against Liaoning Hongyun, whom he met in a brace two years earlier, on July 31st. There was another early elimination in the Chinese Cup of 2016, when the team had to leave the tournament again in round 4.

National team career

At first appearances in a national team of his home country Hu Rentian came around the year 2006 when he, among others, with the Chinese U-17 squad at the U-17 AFC Asian Cup 2006 in Singapore participated. As the winner of Group D, he was eliminated from the current tournament with the Chinese in the quarter-final match against North Korea . In 2007 he is said to have been in action for the team, including at a tournament in Russia . In 2009 he completed three qualifying games for the U-19 Asian Cup in 2010 and was able to easily qualify with the team for the tournament in his own country. In the subsequent finals he was used in three more games and was again subject to the team from North Korea, who were U-19 Asian champions in the end. After it became largely calm in the following years about the young talent, which was initially so praised, he made the leap into the senior national team of his home country in 2016 . Under the well-known Chinese coach Gao Hongbo , he was called up for a friendly international match against Trinidad and Tobago and came on as a substitute for Zhao Mingjian and Gao Lin at halftime on June 3, 2016 . In the further course of the game he provided Zhang Yuning's goal in the 64th minute to make it 3-0 and in the 88th minute, after Zhang Yuning's presentation, he scored the goal to make the final score 4-2 for China.
