At 3:30 p.m. on November 2, the final chapter of the CR Yibao Super League 2024 season began with Changchun Yatai's fierce battle with Zhejiang in the "Nanling" area. In this game, Changchun Yatai captain Sergio will embark on his 100th game on behalf of the team, which is not only a personal honor, but also a new chapter in the history of Yatai.
Looking back to February 2020, Sergio joined Changchun Yatai with a brilliant footprint in Kashima Antlers. After five seasons of baptism, he left a 30-goal trail in the city and was honored as Changchun Yatai's first captain. Under Serginho's leadership, the team returned to the Chinese Super League after winning the Central League title in 2020.
During his five years in Changchun, Sergio not only played alongside the team, but also integrated into the city with his family. From the age of 25 to 30, his two daughters came into the world one after another, and he also realized the transformation from a good player to a good husband and father in this city. Fans can often see the family's cozy daily figure on the street.
Today, Changchun Yatai's 100-game milestone player lineup is quite large. Zhang Xiaofei leads the way with a glory book of more than 400 players; Du Zhenyu follows with a brilliant list of more than 300; while Tan Long, Cao Tienbao, Wang Dong, Wang Wanpeng, Sun Jie and Jiang Pengxiang each have records of more than 200 players. As for Ismailov, Cabarello and others, their names are listed among those with more than 100 players.
One hundred games is not the end of the road, the road ahead is still long. We look forward to Serginho and Changchun Yatai in this green field to continue to write a new legend.
