Guoan veteran Vieira said that going to China was the best decision of his career, and he thought that the Chinese Super League was still Jinyuan football

Jonathan Viera, who has been rolling in La Liga for many years and has been selected for the Spanish men's national football team, switched to the Chinese Super League in 2018 and joined Beijing Guoan, where he played for 3 years. He then returned to Spain and in a recent interview he declared that going to China was "the best decision of his career".

Patrick Vieira, who was selected for the Spanish national team, declared that going to China was "the best decision of his career"

Born and raised in La Spencas in Spain, Vieira played as a striker from the youth team at his former club La Spencas in La Liga before moving to La Liga side Valencia in 2012 before moving to Standard Liege and then back to Raspensmas. He became a Spain international for the first time in 2017.

In 2018, at the age of 28, he resolutely left Spain and switched to the Chinese Super League. Vieira has not been selected for the Spanish men's national team since. The decision to leave Europe to the lower level of the Chinese Super League at the peak of his career may not seem wise, but Vieira said in a recent interview, "When China's offer comes, there is not much to consider, it is a contract that cannot be refused." ”

Vieira bluntly said, "I know where I come from, I come from a very poor family and my mom has a lot of work. That's a lot of money and I can bring a lot of money to the club and I'm the player who can leave the most money for the club. ”

Vieira has raced with superstars such as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in La Liga

He went on to say, "You win in every way, football is all about making decisions. That was the best decision I made as a player. Vieira eventually switched from Raspensas to Beijing Guoan for 23 million euros, and Raspensas president Miguel Angel Ramirez admitted at the time that they could not offer the same treatment, "They offered him a signing fee of 7 million euros and we couldn't destroy his life." "He is reportedly paid three times as much as he was in Raspensmas.

Patrick Vieira won the FA Cup in 2018 and returned to his parent club on loan in 2019 before failing to win another trophy for the club after three years at Beijing Guoan, scoring 23 goals in 65 appearances. After completing his contract in 2021, he returned to La Spencas in La Liga, scoring a career-best 14 goals in 2021/22 and adding seven goals in the second season to help the team return to La Liga.

Patrick Vieira took a break from his playing career to care for his wife, who was suffering from cancer

At the end of 2023, Vieira suspended his playing career due to his wife's ovarian cancer and terminated his contract with Raspenmas to take care of his wife. After his wife successfully underwent surgery, the 34-year-old joined another La Liga team, Ameria, in February this year.

Patrick Vieira, who has played with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in La Liga and has been selected for the Spanish national team, clearly values his family and improving their lives more than trophies and honours. His name may not be remembered by too many fans around the world, but in his parent club Raspensmas, Vieira is definitely a hero.

Ironically, Vieira made a statement at this point in time. You must know that now the bubble of the Chinese Super League has already burst, the sky-high transfer fee and high salary to introduce foreign aid has become a swan song, many teams are scattered or rumored to be in arrears, Guangzhou Evergrande (now name: Guangzhou team) on the rich side of the first party is in financial difficulties, and it is changed to the all-Chinese class to fight next year.
