Zheng Zhi, the greatest player in Guangzhou's history, is leaving the team, while Paulinho, the greatest foreign player in the history of the other team, has recently suffered an unfortunate incident. Last weekend, the fourth round of the First Division was held, and in the end, Corinthians won 1-0 for Fortaleza, and although he won, Paulinho suffered a major injury in the game.
He was injured and fell to the ground in a scramble with the opponent's players, and then he immediately showed a very painful expression and asked the team doctor to enter the field quickly. After a brief diagnosis, he was replaced and went to the hospital for a detailed examination. At noon on May 3, Beijing time, the club released Paulinho's injury through its official website, and finally diagnosed it as a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, which is expected to take at least half a year to recover, which means that his 2022 season is reimbursed, and he will certainly not have the dream of returning to Brazil to participate in the World Cup.
After leaving Guangzhou for nearly a year, Paulinho played for two teams during this time, but neither went well. First, in October last year, after playing only four games, it was announced that the Saudi Jeddah national had terminated his contract, when the Brazilian gave the explanation that his parents' house was burned down and he was forced to go home because of health problems.
After dealing with family affairs, it was not until December last year that he re-signed to join Corinthians and returned to his old club, Paulinho soon became the main player again, so far in the new season he played 20 games for the team, scoring 4 goals to become the team's second top scorer, unfortunately, when the League Began to play, suddenly suffered a serious injury.
In the hearts of Guangzhou fans, Paulinho has always been synonymous with Iron man, during the Chinese Super League, almost no injuries, in the 2020 season, Ka Shuai has been in the first stage of 14 games, each of which allowed the Brazilian to play, becoming a full-time iron man. However, in November of that year, Paulinho announced that he was going to withdraw from the AFC Champions League due to injury, and left China and never returned.
In fact, this iron man is now 34 years old, is a full-fledged veteran, the decline in physical function plus the intensity of the Bajia league is definitely many times higher than the Chinese Super League, under double pressure, but also make the violent bird fly, and finally hope that he can recover as soon as possible, and when the epidemic is over, remember to come back to Guangzhou to see.
