China national team and Guangzhou Evergrande captain Zheng Zhi won the 2013 AFC Player of the Year award at a glittering ceremony on Tuesday.

Zheng Zhi became the first Chinese player to win this accolade since Fan Zhiyi claimed Asian football’s highest individual accolade in 2001.

Guanzhou Evergrande’s Brazilian striker Muriqui (Luiz Guilherme Da Conceicao Silva) won the AFC Foreign Player of the Year while Inter Milan winger Yuto Nagatomo clinched the AFC Asian International Player of the Year.
