On December 15, Beijing time, the official news, the former Guangzhou player Paulinho joined the Bajia Corinthians. After 8 years, Paulinho is back where the dream began. The money earned in the Chinese Super League, Paulinho can go home and spend it well.
Paulinho became famous in Corinthians, and after Corinthians achieved outstanding results, winning the Baccala League, copa Libertadores, Club World Cup and other honors, he was bought by Tottenham Fortyve for 19.7 million euros, when Paulinho was highly anticipated. However, in the Premier League, Paulinho performed average, although he was still the main player in the national team, but eventually the first time to play in the five major leagues ended in failure.
No one thought that Paulinho reached the peak of his career after coming to the Chinese Super League, and after Paulinho joined the Guangzhou team in 2015, he became one of the most successful foreign aides in the history of Guangzhou and even the Chinese Super League. This can be seen from Paulinho's victory in the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League, as well as in his playing in the Chinese Super League and still impressing the Brazilian national team. The most amazing thing is that Barca paid a 40 million euros penalty to buy out Paulinho, proving his worth. Paulinho, in the years of the Chinese Super League, not only did not decline in value, but also improved.
After returning to Guangzhou, Paulinho won a number of honors again, and finally bid farewell to China with 3 Chinese Super League championships and 1 AFC Champions League championship. He was taken as a Sijada national and terminated his contract with the club for family reasons after just four matches. The reason is that Paulinho's parents' house in Brazil is on fire.
In order to accompany his family, Paulinho returned to Brazil, and finally "returned to the roots" and returned to Corinthians after 8 years. Paulinho, 33, will compete in the new season of the First Division. Looking at Hulk's outstanding performance after returning to Brazil, we can expect that Paulinho will attack the Baliga title with the team in the new season, and maybe in the future club cup?
