«Du Wei and Li Weifeng», shirts 2026
The "WEIFENG" Partnership formed by Du Wei and Li Weifeng was the strongest center-back pairing in Chinese football in the early 21st century, and the defensive cornerstone of the Chinese national team during their 2002 FIFA World Cup campaign.Standing at 1.87 metres, Du Wei was calm and composed, excelling in organising the backline, precise covering, and top-class aerial defence in Asia. Nicknamed "Big Head", Li Weifeng was tough and tenacious, with sharp interceptions, dominant aerial ability, and immense leadership, serving as the spiritual anchor of the defence.
The pair first teamed up in the 2001 World Cup Qualifiers final round, and officially began their club partnership after joining Shanghai Shenhua together in 2006. Their contrasting styles—one steady, one aggressive—complemented each other perfectly, and both posed a threat in both attacking and defensive set pieces. They competed side by side in key tournaments including the AFC Asian Cup and World Cup Qualifiers.
