In an interview on CCTV's Football Night program on Dec. 9, many celebrities who participated in the China Legacy Stars soccer tournament talked about the reason why the old AA was renamed the China Legacy Stars League.
Cao Limit Dong:
Now I think soccer is very utilitarian. Soccer must be clean and pure, and we must find our good things. We should better promote the spirit of soccer in our profession, so that more children or soccer participants can feel the many worthy things in soccer.
Peng Weiguo:
2012 was 11 years ago. Most of the retired players at that time were from the A-A era. Now there are more and more retired players in the Chinese Super League. They have never played in the A-A league. We have changed the name of this game to Legacy, which will go a long way to make this game sustainable.
Xi Zhikang:
The inheritance is this spirit of unity and hard work, focusing on the overall sense of cooperation, just like Beijing's small and quick, Shandong's high-flying, Guangdong's individual skills, all of these are to be inherited.
Weiqun:
By legacy, I mean the next player, like Lin Miao, who retired the year before last year joins the family. I think we will always have this tournament and hopefully athletes who love soccer and soccer will be able to participate in this tournament when they retire.
