On June 29th, 2008, Guoan played against Shenhua at home, with Zhang Shuai as the starting player and Guoan as the central defender. However, Zhang Shuai made some low-level mistakes in the game, which also caused an own goal, which eventually led to Guoan losing 2-0 to Shenhua at home. After the game, Guoan also decided to transfer Zhang Shuai to the reserve team on the grounds of "his abnormal performance in the game". Zhang Shuai responded after learning this news: He will retire in his own name and will never accept any form of decentralization of national security.
