Stepping into the Tianhe Sports Center.
This welcoming Red Sea remains familiar but strange.
The fans' exclamations echoed in their ears:
It's been too long since I've been here!
This "too long" in the Guangzhou night sky.
Tonight's focus is on the "New Arrival".
Ten years ago, in 2011.
Guangzhou subprovincial city and capital of Guangdong
Evergrande (name)
With a grand opening that cost $50 million.
Marking the dawn of the capital era of professional soccer in this country.

Once again, a new era has dawned for professional soccer in this country.
The imprint of Guangzhou was shown on the giant screen, the
A "refreshed" opening ceremony
It was as if everyone was transported back to the field of play more than 500 days ago.
Those youthful smiles at the opening ceremony
is the future flower of the motherland.
As far as the eye can see.
It's all the way back to our childhood.
The giant screen at home is still familiar.
It's just the names of the two teams

It's as if everything is "new again".
The only thing that remains is the passion of the fans.
The deafening drums and cheers rocked again, the
It turns out that those rhythms have been engraved in your bones for a long time.
And how easily will it be taken away by time.
In a climate of limited pay and investment.
Big-name wideouts are leaving in droves.
League viewing has declined.
But it's also a chance for local players to show what they can do.
When the game started.

Dedicated to these 506 days, too.

The outstanding performance of Brazilian Guilherme.
Leaving fans to marvel once again at the club's keen eye for selection.
Van Garst's debut wasn't perfect, though.

If you don't forget it, it will come back to you.
