The 2021 season of the Chinese Super League has come to an end, the teams have entered the sabbatical and new season preparation cycle, and the club stock reform of each team is particularly important, which will directly affect the decision of the team's players to stay.
Today, Mei Fang, a defender who has played for the Guangzhou team for eight years, officially bid farewell to the Guangzhou team in a personal social post. Mei Fang transferred from Wuhan Zhuoer to Guangzhou Evergrande in 2014, and in the 2015 season, Guangzhou won the AFC Champions League for the second time, and Mei Fang, as the main defender, played 32 games that season, contributing to the team's victory.
The word "thanks" is repeated in Mei Fang's farewell letter, and the 32-year-old has left the best time of his career in Guangzhou, and he has also won many championships with the team.
Mei Fang thanked Boss Xu, thanked Liu Zong, thanked Lippi, Scolari and Cannavaro, the three famous coaches, also thanked the temporary captains Zheng Zhi and Liu Zhiyu this season, and finally thanked the fans who have always supported him.
In recent years, Mei Fang has not had a smooth life, and many injuries have caused him to stop injury, only in the three seasons of 2014-16, with more than 20 appearances. Three surgeries in succession, starting in 2017, due to injuries, the number of appearances has decreased year by year, and this season has only appeared three times.
The Guangzhou team in the second stage of this season suffered a financial crisis, due to injuries, Mei Fang did not play in the second stage, but as a veteran player, he played an important role with veterans such as captain Zheng Zhi and Huang Bowen, and Mei Fang also served as the team's goalkeeper coach and sparred the team's goalkeeper.
It is reported that Mei Fang is likely to return to his hometown and join the Wuhan Sanzhen Club, which has surpassed the success this year, and there may be 2-3 young players in the Guangzhou team to join Wuhan Sanzhen in the new season.
We also thank Mei Fang for its contribution to the Guangzhou team.
Thank you, Mei Fang!
I wish you all the best for the future!
