At the Yuexiushan Stadium in Guangzhou in the winter of 2006, our national men's soccer team welcomed the challenge of the Honduras national team on February 12, and a friendly match was played here. However, in the end, our men's soccer team lost 0-1, facing the combination of speed and power, our soccer team is slightly insufficient.
In this warm-up match, the Honduran players showed excellent form, and four of them successfully transferred to the Chinese Super League after the match, becoming a unique scenery.
The warm-up match, although our men's soccer team opened the black start, but the stands of the Chinese Super League club managers have reaped a lot of benefits. They were invited by the agent to make a special trip to the field to find cost-effective Honduran foreign aid. As a result, the captain Cabarello, Ramirez and other foreign aid have joined the Chinese super team, Changchun Yatai will be Cabarello, Elvis and Reyna three Honduran international players in one net.
As captain of the Honduran national team, Caballero plays as a center back, and used to play for Udinese in the Serie A. Known for his strong body and fierce defense, he is known as "Tyson". He also contributed an assist in the warm-up match against China. Reina and Ramirez, who joined Shanghai Shenhua, also made their debuts in the match.
In the 2006 season, Changchun Yatai's backline was guarded by the "Four Brothers" Cabarello, the midfield was commanded by Wang Dong, Du Zhenyu broke through on the side, and Cao Tienbao and Elvis charged in the front line. Such a combination of Chinese Super League teams ate a lot of pain, Changchun Yatai also ended the season with the league's fourth-place finish, the dark horse into a full color.
After winning the title, Cabarello showed even more poise. In the 2007 season, Cabarello and Elvis stayed on, and Changchun Yatai, under head coach Gao Hongbo, won the Chinese Super League title with 16 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses accumulating 55 points, one point ahead of Beijing Guoan. The outstanding play of local players such as Wang Dong and Du Zhenyu, as well as the key roles of Cabarello and Elvis, enabled Changchun Yatai to successfully defend their title.

A seemingly ordinary warm-up match started the "Honduran foreign aid fever", a massive influx of Honduran foreign aid into our working league. Changchun Yatai introduced two outstanding foreign aiders, Cabarello and Elvis, which laid the foundation for winning the championship in the 2007 season. Cabarello became one of the favorite foreign aiders of Changchun fans by virtue of his excellent performance on the field and gentlemanly manners off the field.
