In the Beijing hour of January 31, Guoan wind and clouds, the head of Zhou Jinhui waving ink, offering New Year's blessings, revealing that the club unswervingly follow the trajectory of the development of soccer, steadily improve the level of management, and fans of the heart.
Zhou Jinhui narrated, "Thoughts drift thousands of miles on a moonlit night, and tomorrow is a new year. In this important moment of resignation and welcome to the new year, on behalf of Beijing Guoan, I would like to extend my sincere blessings to you, and wish all fans and friends from all walks of life a happy new year and all the best."
"The 2021 season has passed, and it is a season of nostalgia. The fans are eager to return to the stadium, and the club misses them as well. Despite the outbreak of the epidemic, the fans and the club had a strong bond. When the epidemic eased a little, hundreds of fans flocked to the team's open day, which made us realize that the spatial distance can't extinguish the love of Beijing fans for Guoan."
"2021 was also a challenging season. It is in such adversity that the spirit of Guoan shines more and more. This season, Guoan's reserve team played in the AFC Champions League and brought surprises in the AFC Champions League following their stunning performance in the AFC Cup last season. Although they failed to get out of the group, the young Guoan players contributed 3 goals and gained valuable points, and more importantly, they showed the resilience and spirit of Guoan. The staff with the team also did their best to give up the opportunity to go back to their home country and stayed overseas to take care of the stranded players, and although they were in a foreign country, they felt the warmth of home."
"The field of play is the main battleground to show the spirit of the national security, but it is the little bits of life outside the field that are the key to what we are proud of, moved by, and pass on."
"Chinese soccer is always on the path of development, and as a Chinese professional soccer club, we have an urgent mission. Although soccer is the world's number one sport, the Chinese soccer business has not yet kept pace with the country's development, so Chinese soccer people must be more pragmatic and promote the development of soccer with more spirit of commitment, we still have a long way to go."
"This year, Beijing Guoan Football Club will celebrate its 30th birthday. For Beijing Guoan, which aspires to a century-long foundation, thirty years old is a youthful age, and there are still many shortcomings. We have made some achievements, but they are not outstanding enough; we are committed to youth training, but we need to go to the next level; we are committed to the public welfare of soccer, but we need to benefit more people.
"However, during these three decades, we have become tightly connected to the city of Beijing and to the hearts of millions of Guoan fans."
"In the 2022 season, Beijing Guoan Football Club will continue to uphold the development concept of 'professionalization, specialization and internationalization', follow the development trajectory of soccer and steadily improve the club's operational capabilities. More importantly, we want to connect with our fans heart to heart and work together to bring soccer into thousands of homes."
"At the end of 2022, our 'home' - Gongti will be brand new. 2023 Asian Cup will be the debut of the new Gongti, and Beijing Guoan Football Club will return to Gongti in its 30th year. At that time, we will welcome the return of our family in the new industrial stadium!"
"May everyone's heart be in the right place in the new year, and may the tigers roar in the mountains!"
