Liu Shaoziyang (; born 11 December 2003) is a Chinese professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for 2. Liga club SV Ried, on loan from Bayern Munich II. Club career

Early career
Born in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, but moving to Wuhan as a child, Liu initially started his career as an outfield player, but switched to play in goal when a coach at his primary school noted his tall height and potential ability as a goalkeeper. Against his mother's wishes, Liu started training as a goalkeeper with his coach before the main school training every day. When his mother did eventually see him play in goal, and produce some good saves, she told the coach that she supported Liu playing as a goalkeeper. In 2014, Liu joined the youth team of Wuhan Three Towns, before moving to Spain to study and improve his footballing ability. Move to Europe
