After Dalian Ren officially announced their dissolution, Dalian Ren defender He Yupeng took to social media to express his feelings, saying, "This article is too heavy for me to turn over."
He Yupeng writes:I came into contact with soccer for the first time in my life, and I've been in love with the sport ever since. At that time I didn't know what this love meant. It was unthinkable for me to become a professional player. But that's what I did. I trained day in and day out and stubbornly loved soccer. Finally, in 2011, the seed that had been planted in my heart all those years ago sprouted and my dream might come true. I came to Dalian. Everything in front of me was so beautiful, but it was so nice and not real enough. Dalian is the soccer city of my dreams and the soccer city guarded by countless meritorious players. I just feel lucky and swear to myself.
After making up for the Chinese Super League, Dalian was the relegation team of the population, and the outside world was not optimistic about us.22 Season, we grew up in the midst of thorns and were reborn in the midst of difficulties. We saved our hearts and the home team. I was really happy that year, from the bottom of my heart. It made me more determined and confident for the future. With the 23rd season approaching, I hope I can shoulder greater responsibility and I cherish every second on the pitch. After the team was relegated, I felt ashamed.
That was the once glorious Dalian. After that day, I didn't dare to watch the news for a long time, and I didn't even have the courage to flip through photo albums. As for me, there are too many things I can't let go of. The "youngest backline" against Wuhan, the "life and death" banner before the game, the screams from the stands... This article is too heavy for me to turn over. It's my decade. How do I let go? Some say it hasn't been a very lucky couple of years. I'm not questioning my choices. But at this moment, I look back on the ten years I've traveled. Not for one second did I regret it. I just feel like I still can't get enough.
Without Dalian, I wouldn't be where I am today. Thank you countless times! No matter who mentions Dalian to me, I will always say it will always be my home, and we are inextricably linked. However, what can't be returned is not only time, but also encounters.
