On December 30, 2022, as night fell, a heavy news in the Central League spread rapidly in the soccer circle: Nantong Zhiyun Football Club officially announced that the team's foreign striker Michel Chagas would soon bid farewell to the game.
Below is the original official announcement from Nantong Branch Cloud:
Michel Chagas, we wish you all the best in the future! After careful consideration, based on the club's overall strategic layout and future development considerations, and after friendly consultation with Michel Chagas, it has been decided that Michel will no longer be a player of Nantong Zhiyun from the 2022 season.
Back on that hot summer day in 2020, Chagas, a smiling angel from the soccer kingdom, joined our team. His joining brought new energy to the team. In his first season with us, Chagas won the praise of the fans with his outstanding performance. In his third game for Nantong Zhiyun, he helped the team win all three points with two brilliant goals.
As the first foreigner brought in last season, Chagas' arrival was like a breath of fresh air. He scored 2 goals in 10 games for Nantong Zhiyun, showing his goal-scoring ability. We are all looking forward to the youngster in blue to continue his Samba dance in the Central League.
Heading into the 2021 season, Chagas has grown more and more in tune with the team. Contributing 12 goals and 4 assists in 32 games, his scoring tools of outside-the-boot flicks, headers, free kicks and overhead kicks have given spectators a taste of soccer at every turn.
