Zhu Guanghu
Zhang Yonghai would begin his international career on March 26, 2005, when he played in a friendly against Spain in a 3-0 defeat. Under the Chinese Head coach Zhu Guanghu he would play in several more friendlies and play in the 2005 East Asian Cup where he would score his first goal. He would, however, be dropped soon afterwards until the next Chinese head coach Vladimir Petrović would include him in several further friendlies but would once again drop him soon afterwards.
