Hello to all fans and friends in Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. As I said at the press conference earlier, I was unfortunately unable to play in the friendly match in Hong Kong due to a groin injury, which was swollen and painful. Friends who know me will know that I want to give my best in every game, especially when I travel so far with my team-mates and the fans are looking forward to seeing us fit and healthy. Hopefully one day we will have the opportunity to come back and play for the fans and friends in Hong Kong. I also look forward to coming back to the mainland as soon as possible to share the joy of football with everyone.
Give everyone a hug and wish everyone a prosperous Year of the Dragon in advance.
