The Chinese Super League has been hit by the double blow of the epidemic and the new rules, resulting in changes in most clubs, while some teams led by Guangzhou have fallen into difficult business difficulties, and the team's funds have begun to have problems, triggering wage arrears. After the first 14 rounds of the season, Guangzhou started the reconstruction mode, Cannavaro and the 4 top naturalized players chose to leave, Cannavaro was the first to cancel, and then Fernando insisted on returning to Brazil due to injury. Before the start of the last 8 rounds of the Chinese Super League, Guangzhou's 3 golden boot shooters Alain, Gaulat and Axon all returned to Brazil, and their original intentions were the same, "falling leaves back to the roots", bent on returning to Brazil to play football, and unpaid wages were only the fuse, because their relatives and friends were in Brazil.
In addition to the naturalized players, other Brazilian players in the Chinese Super League have also been affected by the epidemic and chose to "return to their hometown", typical of which is Paulinho, who briefly joined the Saudi team Jeddah National after leaving Guangzhou, but left after only one month of joining, directly returning to Brazil with his family, because he had a sudden accident at home in Brazil, forcing Paulinho to choose to "go home".
On December 15, Beijing time, according to the Brazilian media "Global Sports" report, Guangzhou team 9 crown merit Muric also bid farewell to the Chinese Super League, he announced in an interview with the Chinese Super League club Cangzhou Lions to complete the contract, his original intention and the three golden boots Alan, Gaulat, Axon, hope to go home with friends and family, such a phenomenon disrupted their original career planning.
Muric revealed that his original plan was to spend a few more years in Asia so that their Chinese-born children could grow up and learn a language and the family could live a stable life. Affected by the epidemic, Muric's family has been trying various methods in order to come to China, but it has not been successful, forcing Muric to make a decision to terminate the contract with the Chinese Super League team and terminate the contract back to Brazil. Muric said that he had been alone in China for 8 months, and his family had been unable to enter China, so he had to make a trade-off, Muric had a son and a daughter, and he thought that everything he did away from his family seemed meaningless, which was the fundamental reason why he chose to terminate his contract and return to Brazil.
According to Muric's current 35-year-old age, coupled with the decline in the state of year by year, his departure from the Chinese Super League is equivalent to the imminent retirement, and the current "German transfer" is only worth 150,000 euros, and there are only 2 goals and 1 assist in 14 games in the Chinese Super League this season, which is a big gap with the performance of 5 goals and 1 assist in 15 games last season and 22 goals in 25 games in 2019. In fact, he was on the verge of retirement in the first half of 2017, when he played for Brazilian team Vasco da Gama with 11 games and 0 goals, and finally returned to Guangzhou in the summer window of 2017 without a visa, and went to the Chinese First Division half a season later, finding a foothold in the Chinese First Division.
Throughout Muric's career, he gave all the peak period to the Guangzhou team, helping the Guangzhou team win 9 titles, including 5 Chinese Super League championships, 1 AFC Champions League, 1 FA Cup, 1 Super Cup and 1 Chinese First Division. Therefore, Muric will forever enter the annals of Guangzhou team history, he is one of the most successful foreign aides in the history of Guangzhou team and even the Chinese Super League, and this return to Brazil can also be regarded as a successful retirement.
