On the evening of December 12, Beijing time, The Chinese men's football team naturalized scorer Axon wrote a long article with Chinese on his social account, emotionally bidding farewell to the Guangzhou (Evergrande) team he had played for many years, as well as the Chinese fans who have always supported him.
In the long article, Axon first recalled his good memories of playing for Guangzhou for many years, such as winning the AFC Champions League twice in 2013 and 2015, and winning the Chinese Super League championship five times (4 times for Guangzhou and 1 for Shanghai Harbor). Axon said these fond memories will always remain in his mind.
The national football naturalized shooter thanked the Guangzhou club: "Thank you to the club for trusting me, thank you to everyone in the team, in the team I have met many lifelong friends." In the face of adversity, it is your help that allows me to continue to break through upwards. ”
At the end of the long article, Axon responded positively to the focus of whether he will continue to play for the Chinese men's football team in the future. He said that he is still a Chinese, and China is the country in his heart: "Although I left the club, I am always ready to fight for our country and for the Chinese team. As long as the national team needs me, I will go without hesitation, and I promise to give my full strength to the national team, fighting with my teammates until the last moment. Because it is my responsibility to represent the national team and strive to qualify, it is my pride. ”
After ending the World Preliminary Round of 12, Axon returned to China with the team, but he did not follow Guangzhou to the second stage of the Chinese Super League. Tonight, Axon will leave Guangzhou with his wife and children on a plane and fly back to his hometown of Salvador, Brazil.
According to the confirmation of a number of media, Axon was owed wages, and his contract with Guangzhou team was not due to expire until 2023, and he has terminated his contract with the club early, and Axon's next stop is most likely south American champion Palmeiras. Regardless of whether the future will return to the Chinese Super League, after this emotional statement, I believe that as long as the Chinese men's national football team needs it, Axon will return without hesitation and continue to do his best for the national football team.
