As Paulinho bids farewell to the Guangzhou team, a storm of buzz has been created on social media.
Veteran media Ji Yuyang said bluntly:
It was officially announced that Paulinho and Evergrande officially drew a line in the sand and bid farewell to the Chinese Super League stage. This decision in the context of the epidemic is both helpless and in line with the trend. In the future of the Chinese Super League, the lineup of big-name foreign aid will be increasingly streamlined.
Reporter Lin Benjian recalled:
Paulinho has officially terminated his contract with Guangzhou, with the epidemic preventing him from returning home, and Guangzhou looking to transition away from the need for big-name foreigners. Since joining in the summer of 2015, Paulinho has played 172 games for Guangzhou Evergrande, scoring 74 goals and collecting eight trophies. In my opinion, he is the best foreigner in the history of the national soccer team, thanks for having you and I look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Media personality Yu Jing lamented:
I believe "Violent Bird" is full of reluctance, he is undoubtedly the best foreign aid in the history of Guangzhou team. We are looking forward to seeing him back in China when the epidemic subsides, and perhaps we can hold a special ceremony for his return to the team.
Media personality Yuan Ye threw out questions:
Which player will be next?
Journalist Feng Zhen praised:
Paulinho, the undisputed greatest player in Guangzhou's history. Goodbye, old friend!
Li Xuan, a media personality, said fondly:
Although I'm not sad to see him go, I'd like to send my best wishes and gratitude for having witnessed such an outstanding player as Paulinho in the Chinese Super League. Whether it was his performance on the field or his personal qualities, he was perfect.
