During the period of "Golden Dollar Football", some world-class stars appeared in the Chinese Super League, among which Bieira, Augusto and Gill are the representatives. Now, these three veterans have regained their freedom, causing nostalgia and anticipation among Chinese fans. Las Palmas officially announced that Vieira's contract has expired after he played 265 games for the team and scored 75 goals. Corinthians also officially announced that Augusto and Gil left the team and regained their freedom.
Augusto joined Guoan in 2016 and Bieira came to Beijing Guoan in 2018, and the two quickly became the backbone of the team. Augusto scored 30 goals and assisted 30 times in Bieira's 88 appearances for Guoan, contributing 40 goals and 45 assists to help Guoan win the FA Cup. During Golden Dollar Football, Biela and Augusto remained the core of the team, even the top midfield pairing in the Chinese Super League.
Gill joined Shandong Taishan in 2016 and quickly became the centerpiece of the team's defense. During his time with Taishan, Gil made great contributions and was even selected for the Brazilian national team. His professionalism was highly recognized by Chinese fans. Now, Bieira, Augusto and Gil are all 35 years old, but they still have some strength.In the 2023 season, Bieira made 26 appearances in Las Palmas in La Liga, scoring 7 goals; Augusto made 45 appearances in Barclays Premier League (BPL) Corinthians, scoring 6 goals and 10 assists; Gil made 61 appearances in Barclays Premier League (BPL) Corinthians, contributing 4 goals and 5 assists.
Chinese fans will still never forget these three outstanding veterans. On social media, many fans called for them to play in the Chinese Super League again for one year. Some fans said, "Bieira and Augusto are the duo of Guoan and they left a colorful impression in the Chinese Super League. I hope they can come to the Chinese Super League again and help Guoan return to glory." Some fans said, "Gill is the core of Taishan's defense and he has made great contributions to the team. I hope he can come to the Chinese Super League again and help Taishan win the championship."
At present, the future of Bieira, Augusto and Gil has not been determined. Some media reports say that Augusto may become a coach; Gil may stay in the Brazilian league, and now under the salary restriction of the Chinese Super League, if they want to return to the Chinese Super League, they will also need to reduce their salary moderately. No matter where these three veterans end up, the memories that they have left behind in the Chinese Super League will remain in the hearts of the fans forever. (Old Qiu Chinese Super League Review)
