Xu Deshuai (Chinese: 徐德帥; pinyin: Xú Déshuài; born 13 July 1987) is a Chinese-born and Hong Kong professional footballer, who is currently playing for Kitchee in Hong Kong. He was born in Dalian but represents Hong Kong in international competition. He was a member of the Hong Kong East Asian Games football team in 2009 who won the East Asian Games gold medal.
He wears number 8 for China U-19, Citizen, Hong Kong, Hong Kong U-23, South China and Pegasus. Because of this, Hong Kong football fans commonly use Xu 8 as a nickname for him.
Xu Deshuai was born on Dalian, China. He is the only child in his family. His mother was primary school teacher but Xu Deshuai hates study. Thus, he left school after secondary education in Dalian to switched to Dalian Shide's youth academy under his mother's oppositional idea. His mother abandoned interference after the school teacher had told her that Deshuai has potential in football, so her mother support his football career very much after that.
13 July 1987 inXu Deshuai began his football career at Dalian with Dalian Shide's youth academy. His potential was quickly identified by First team in 2004. For Xu Deshuai's first senior season in China, he was only named in the substitutes list for two matches and made no appearances. The two games he was listed on the substitutes list were in November 2004; the match against Shanghai Shenhua on 11 November, and against Tianjin Teda on 24 November. He was sent to the field in the match, which held on 11 November, on the 91st-minute. He came off the bench at the last moment of the game so the report did not show that.
