Considering player retention

The user mentions there are 5 players still on the team, possibly asking me to name them. I recognize I need to avoid making any assumptions or creating incorrect details, so it would be wise to ask for clarification or context due to my lack of data beyond 2024. I'm recalling the 2018 Guoan lineup and noting long-serving players; I see that some players like Zhang Yuning joined afterward, which adds complexity to identifying the current roster.Recalling Guoan's 2018 roster

I need to remember the Guoan roster from 2018. It included players like Zhang Xizhe, Piao Cheng, and Yu Dabao. Wang Gang, however, joined in 2019, so he's not part of that year. I'm also considering other players like Chi Zhongguo, who joined in winter 2018 and stayed until 2022. Jin Taiyan seems to have been at Guoan as well, but I need to confirm specifics about Zhang Chengdong and Li Lei's career movements to clarify anything about the current roster.Clarifying player status

It looks like Three Towns collapsed in 2024, and Zhang Xizhe might still be at Guoan. I'm uncertain if Yu Dabao retired in 2023 or moved to Qingdao West Coast in 2024. Piao Cheng had injuries, possibly on loan, but returned in 2024. This situation is quite messy. I think I should keep things straightforward and ask the user directly about the 5 players they’re referring to, confirming their needs to provide the right information. Let's make it concise!
