Farewell to the green field
On social media, Wu Qing wrote fondly:
Since I joined the team in 2001, 20 years have passed, and the most brilliant youth and career in my life have been dedicated to this team. Although I have not been able to reap too many honors, I have always given my best and fought to the best of my ability, and that is the creed that I adhere to. Wu Qing's Qing is Chongqing's Qing, and I hope to be the pride of this city. Therefore, I have always been eager to fight for my city, my coach, and my teammates until the last moment. Now, although I still have the strength and courage, the stage is set for a soccer career. For me, it is only a faint hint of regret, while for those young comrades, they have to face brutal challenges. I wish you all the best of luck in quickly finding a new battlefield. I know that at this moment we are all filled with confusion, but life goes on, the past can only be a memory, may we all be at peace.
Wu Qing, 40, has played 185 games for Chongqing since 2006, contributing 14 goals and 10 assists.
