On the evening of December 19, Beijing time, Luo Guofu, a naturalized player of the Chinese men's football team, wrote a long text on his personal social account with Chinese to bid farewell to the Guangzhou (Evergrande) team. Luo Guofu emotionally thanked Evergrande for taking care of him in the past 2 and a half years, and promised to continue to work hard for the Chinese men's national team in the future.
Luo Guofu wrote emotionally: "Every journey has an end, and today our end has arrived." Thank you Evergrande for taking care of me in the past 2 and a half years! It is a great honor for me to wear the most prestigious shirt in the Super League in recent years. I would like to thank the club's teammates, staff, fans and others who have put in the efforts of this club. I am also grateful to the Guangzhou team for giving me the opportunity to be selected for the national team, which is a very happy thing for me. ”
At the end of the article, Luo Guofu promised that he would continue to play for the national football team in the future: "Thank you for the Chinese fans who have supported me all these years!" I'm sure we'll be together again soon in the national team and the Chinese Super League! ”
According to previous media news, the 33-year-old Luo Guofu communicated with Guangzhou Club fruitlessly, confirming that he would not participate in the ongoing Stage 2 of the Chinese Super League with the team. Considering that his career prospects in the Guangzhou team were unclear, Luo Guofu decided to return to Brazil temporarily, and his plane had already taken off on the evening of the 19th. With the departure of Luo Guofu, only the 5 naturalized players in the Guangzhou team, only central defender Jiang Guangtai remained in the team to continue to play in the Chinese Super League.
Although Luo Guofu promised to continue to play for the national football team, due to the restrictions and influence of relevant policies, naturalized international footballers such as Luo Guofu, Alain and Axon are likely to have no chance of starting the national football training camp around January 10 next year. Even if they continue to play for the national football team, they can only rush directly to Japan to meet the team away, which will undoubtedly have a great impact on the preparation of the national football team.
