On the day of July 19th, Beijing time, the Chinese soccer world ushered in an important transfer news. Chengdu Rongcheng Football Club officially announced that Andrigo, the team's foreign aid player, will join Jeonbuk Hyundai Football Club of South Korea's K-League on a six-month loan. This decision marks the departure of Andrigo from Chengdu Rongcheng, where he has played for nearly a year, to a brand new league and team to continue his soccer career.
Before the official announcement, Andrigo had already expressed his deep gratitude and reluctance to Chengdu Rongcheng and all the fans who supported him through the social media platform - Weibo. He wrote fondly, "Strong team, passionate fans, unforgettable atmosphere, delicious food, and pandas - thanks for the wonderful memories of almost a year in Chengdu, thank you all." The message not only shows his love for the city of Chengdu, but also expresses his gratitude to the Chengdu Rongcheng Club and the fans. He especially mentioned Chengdu's food, pandas and the passion of the fans, which have become unforgettable memories for him.
Immediately afterward, Andrigo said in his farewell letter, "I'm now embarking on a new journey to South Korea for a new challenge. A new day full of hope and adventure, goodbye Chinese friends, I will miss you." This passage reveals his anticipation and courage for the new challenge, and also expresses his sadness and nostalgia for China and Chengdu.
Chengdu Rongcheng Football Club also gave full respect and understanding to Andrigo's departure and sent him sincere wishes. The club said in an official statement, "Sincere thanks to Andrigo for his contribution to Chengdu Rongcheng during his time in the team, and wish you all the best in the K-League!" This is not only a recognition of Andrigo's efforts over the past year, but also a good wish for his future career.
The loan signing of Andrigo is of great significance to both Chengdu Rongcheng and Jeonbuk Hyundai. For Chengdu Rongcheng, although losing a powerful foreign aid, it also provides more space for the team to attract and adjust; for Jeonbuk Hyundai, Andrigo's joining will undoubtedly enhance the team's strength and provide a strong guarantee for the team to achieve better results in the next game.
