Li Ang (Chinese: 李昂; pinyin: Lǐ Áng; Mandarin pronunciation: [lì ǎŋ]; born 15 September 1993) is a Chinese footballer who currently plays for Chinese Super League side Shanghai Port and the China national team.

Club career

Li Ang started his football career with Jiangsu Suning in 2014 after playing for Jiangsu Youth during the 2011 season and the 2012 season.[1] He made his debut for the club in a league game on 8 March 2014 in a 0-0 draw against Guizhou Renhe.[2] He scored his first goal for the club in a league game on 11 May 2014 in a 1-0 win against Changchun Yatai.[3] Throughout the season he would go on to establish himself as an integral member of the team and would play in the 2014 Chinese FA Cup, which the club lost 5-4 on aggregate to Shandong Luneng Taishan.[4] The following season Li would continue to cement his position within the team and go to win the 2015 Chinese FA Cup against Shanghai Shenhua.[5]

Li would go on to be a consistent presence within the team as he won the 2020 Chinese Super League title with the club.[6] On 28 February 2021, the parent company of the club Suning Holdings Group announced that operations were going to cease immediately due to financial difficulties.[7] On 12 March 2021, Li was free to transfer to fellow top tier club Shanghai Port.[8] He would make his debut for the club in a league game on 22 April 2021 against Tianjin Jinmen Tiger in a 6-1 victory.[9]

International career

Li made his debut for the Chinese national team on 22 June 2014 in a 0-0 draw against Macedonia.[10]
