**Wu Chengying** ([Chinese](/source/Chinese_language): 吴承瑛; [pinyin](/source/Pinyin): *Wú Chéngyīng*; born 21 April 1975 in [Shanghai](/source/Shanghai)) is a Chinese former international football player who spent the majority of his career at [Shanghai Shenhua](/source/Shanghai_Shenhua_F.C.) where he won the league and [Chinese FA Cup](/source/Chinese_FA_Cup) before moving to [Shanghai International](/source/Shanghai_International) for a then Chinese record fee of 13,000,000 [RMB](/source/RMB) in 2003. Internationally he was a member of the [Chinese national team](/source/China_national_football_team) where he participated in the [1996](/source/1996_AFC_Asian_Cup) and [2000 AFC Asian Cup](/source/2000_AFC_Asian_Cup) as well also the [2002 FIFA World Cup](/source/2002_FIFA_World_Cup).

## Playing career

Wu Chengying emerged with future Chinese internationals [Shen Si](/source/Shen_Si), [Xie Hui](/source/Xie_Hui_(footballer)) and [Qi Hong](/source/Qi_Hong) form [Shanghai Shenhua](/source/Shanghai_Shenhua_F.C.) where he was predominantly used in the left back position.[1] During his spell at Shanghai Shenhua the team claimed the [1995 Chinese Jia-A League](/source/Chinese_Jia-A_League_1995) title and the 1998 [Chinese FA Cup](/source/Chinese_FA_Cup). In February 1998, he was loaned to [Dalian Wanda](/source/Dalian_Shide_F.C.) for half a month for the [1997–98 Asian Club Championship](/source/1997%E2%80%9398_Asian_Club_Championship) and scored a goal against [Pohang Steelers](/source/Pohang_Steelers). He attracted the interests of Italian side [Calcio Como](/source/Calcio_Como) in January 2002 but the [Serie A](/source/Serie_A) club failed to reach an agreement with Shanghai Shenhua. Wu Chengying instead joined [Shanghai International](/source/Beijing_Chengfeng_F.C.) later in 2003 for 13,000,000 [RMB](/source/RMB), which made him the highest Chinese transfer ever in Chinese football history.[1] At Shanghai International he would see them come second in the 2003 league season and third in the following campaign.[2] When his contract expired at the end of the 2006 league season, Wu decided to announce his retirement from playing.[3]

## International career

After his performances for Shanghai Shenhua saw him win the league title he was included on the squad that went to the [1996 AFC Asian Cup](/source/1996_AFC_Asian_Cup) and became a regular within the team. During [Bora Milutinović](/source/Bora_Milutinovi%C4%87)'s reign as the Chinese head coach Wu Chengying became China's first choice left back despite having an indifferent relationship with several regular players such as [Ou Chuliang](/source/Ou_Chuliang) and [Li Jinyu](/source/Li_Jinyu), who described him as extremely introverted.[4] Despite his indifferent relationship with his teammates Wu was a regular starter for the national team playing in the [2000 AFC Asian Cup](/source/2000_AFC_Asian_Cup) and [2002 FIFA World Cup](/source/2002_FIFA_World_Cup) until Bora Milutinović's reign as the Chinese national team ended.[5]
