We all know that this year to relegation , it is necessary to play this stage.
◆ Why did you pick to join Hazard?
I was previously in the Jiezhi performance, the overall level of soccer in Hong Kong, China is not high, the future development of my assistance is not very much, and, my advancement is limited, so, in the last two years, the beginning of the idea of playing on the mainland. However, the state of the mainland's league has not been very good in the past two years, and many teams are tightening their funding, so it is difficult to come over here to play. Later, Pingguo gave me the opportunity, I did not think too much, just want to come over to play, as for joining which team, is not the most important, I feel that, whether the Chinese Super League or the Central League , are able to make my work career to the next level.
&◆Before Know anything about Hahn?
&I have friends who play soccer on the mainland, so I'll ask them about the situation. Other than that, I communicated more with Ha Loud and clear's former manager Oscar and did a lot of homework on Central League . The big reason that made me decide to join this team in the beginning was Oscar, and although he left, I'm still happy to be able to come over here and play.
◆ What advice have friends given you?
My best friends are Laureus, who is in Dalian, and Russell, a center back from Sichuan, and I often talk to both of them. They said that the soccer level over here is higher than that of Hong Kong, the players are of a high standard, the competition is more intense and they can move forward faster. So I'm looking forward to coming here to play soccer.
◆Harrington is currently in Central League and would like to play in the Chinese Super League ?
My goal is to play Chinese Super League, but I know that the most important thing now is to do my job well, to help Kazakhstan to play well in every competition, to compete for goals and win the competition, and I expect to have the opportunity to go to Chinese Super League< in the future. /a>.

◆ Football: What do you think of the pace and rivalry in the Central League?
An Yongjia: compared to the Hong Kong Premier League, the Central League the pace is faster, the physical rivalry is more intense, the level is good, it is the kind of thing that I expected. Competitions are usually more stalemated as there is little difference between the teams, which is a credit to the players.
◆ After you joined, the attack of the Hazard improved, you have had an assist, but have not scored a goal ......
I'm a striker, and I want to score a goal in every game, and that's my job. But all strikers, have a goal “schedule”, perhaps, my time has not come. In fact, the important thing is that I can assist the team on the field, in addition to scoring goals, I can also assist the team in other areas, I am very confident in themselves, but also very patient, sooner or later the goals will come, with the first, there will be more goals.
&◆ Recent You've been in good shape, scoring and assisting in the recent warm-up matches, and you're now fully accustomed to it?
Anyone who changes the environment, there is a lot to get used to, not to mention, the work of the players to play a high level of competition, a little more difficult. I have now come over two months, the situation is gradually adjusted, all aspects are now very accustomed to, and now the situation is also very good, ready to go to Tangshan to play the next stage of the competition. The team introduced a new foreign aid, he is very strong, will help the team, we are also in the establishment of tacit understanding.
◆You score goals in many ways, such as left-footed long-distance shooting, headers, grabbing the point, etc., finishing ability is very strong, every day will be specialized in practicing these?
After practice, I'll add 15 minutes of shooting on my own. I know where I need to improve and I'm doing my best every day. The main thing for a striker is to be able to seize the moment when it arises, and in this respect I need to be more refined, I expect to become a more comprehensive player.

◆Which team and which striker is your favorite these days?
My favorite Liverpool, Liverpool I watch all the games. The striker I admire the most is Harland, he scores every game and is a left-footed player as well, he's very physical and tall, my type is somewhat similar to his. I also watch his interviews and follow what he does off the pitch, he's special.
◆& lt;b>Harlands interviews, which ones struck a deep image for you?
I'll be watching his diet, there was an interesting one recently where he talked about what he eats every day, a lot of people talk about eating a lot of vegetables every day, but Harland only eats meat, and even starts eating it for breakfast, which I found a bit strange but interesting. I've watched a lot of his interviews and I listen to every word very carefully, even though he's now a top international player, he still feels he's not good enough and can improve, I respect him for that.
◆ What about your daily eating habits?
I eat a relatively healthy diet myself, with lots of fruits, meat, and carbohydrates. I don't drink fruit juices or carbonated beverages, only water and sports drinks, and the first thing I do when I wake up every day is to drink a glass of lemonade. Other than that, I don't eat fast food or fried stuff.
◆ Is this a habit you've developed since becoming a working player?
My mom has always made very healthy food, and when I was 15, I went to the United States and learned a lot at the soccer academy about how players should eat and how to recover.

Four or five years old, my dad would take me to play soccer every day, at home, in the park, on the field, I would play.
◆What other sports do you like?

◆ Which soccer experience, if any, helped you grow the most?
The six years in the U.S. was the most important time period for me. 8 to 15 years old, I was playing in Hong Kong, China, and at that time, I felt that soccer was too easy, there was no competition, I told my family about the situation, and they said that if you really want to be a working footballer, you need to go out and see what it's like. When I came to the United States, my horizons opened up, the level was really high, I was no longer that “special” player, and I realized that I had to try harder to improve myself in order to become a working player.

Very high, the competition is very fast-paced, and the rivalry is also very intense, in the United States, if you want to become a working player, it is necessary to enter the university, so the university league all level is very high. In addition to playing soccer, I also took a degree in economics, playing soccer and learning to do well.
◆ Have you ever thought about playing Major League Soccer?
I would love to go to the big leagues but it's hard as a foreigner, I had the opportunity to go to the USL (second division) but still picked to go back to the Hong Kong Premier League.
◆ Besides being a working player, you are still a model?
I haven't been modeling for very long. In the beginning, I wasn't very used to it, and then I got used to it. If I have time, I will still do it. However, for me, soccer is the most important and my favorite at the top of the list.
◆ Many people think you're handsome, how do you critique yourself?
I appreciate people's comments about me, but I don't really care about it myself. It doesn't affect me when other people say I'm handsome, I'm going to take the time to stay humble and I'm going to be friendly and respectful to everyone.
◆You are called “our Hong KongC Luo”, how do you think about this label?
Crow is the best player in the international arena, it is very difficult for me to compare with it, and comparisons are even more unrealistic, of course, if someone labeled me this way, it's the point of view of others, and I don't think about it so much myself.
◆ Do you practice Mandarin every day?
I would like to move forward and speak Mandarin among my coaches and teammates, but it's not very easy to speak Mandarin and I'm doing my best.
