[Tilu News]Forward An Yongjia, who is preparing for the Asian Cup finals in the United Arab Emirates with the Hong Kong football team, was selected as the best player and best team of the Chinese League One. Having scored 15 goals for Guangxi Pingguo Haruan last season, he had already announced his departure from the team, and was unexpectedly “officially announced” by the Asian Football Confederation to join Sichuan Jiuniu, known as the “Chinese Manchester City.”
An Yongjia, who has played frequently in the past year, scored 15 goals in 26 league games last season and also handed over three assists. He helped Guangxi Pingguo Haruan once hope to win promotion, and finally finished fourth in the Chinese League. 15 goals also helped An Yongjia win the Silver Boot Award, 5 goals behind Shijiazhuang Kungfu’s Nigerian forward Moses Ogbu. The Chinese League One announced the winners of various individual awards in the league today. An Yongjia beat Oubao to become the best player of the season and was also selected for the best team.
After completing the season, An Yongjia immediately returned to the Hong Kong team to report for the Asian Cup, but the transfer news did not stop there. He announced his departure from Guangxi in a post on Weibo last week, thanking the club for helping him grow on and off the field, and especially thanking the fans for their support: “Every weekend I wear a Guangxi jersey and come to the stadium. Being able to represent you is a big job for me. Honor Football is nothing without fans, you make every home game special! This is a sincere farewell with mixed feelings.” I wish my old club all the best.

According to Chinese media reports, Guangxi tried to retain An Yongjia with a maximum salary, but to no avail. There are rumors that the latter will join the Chinese League One champion Sichuan Jiuniu. As a result, the Asian Football Association announced today the list of 24 participating teams in the Asian Cup. An Yongjia’s club is shown as “SICHUAN JIUNIU (CHN)”, which means that the forward who just celebrated his 27th birthday has switched to Sichuan Jiuniu. Sichuan Jiuniu, which will be promoted to the Chinese Super League next season, received a stake in City Football Group (City Football Group), which owns Manchester City, Kirona and other football clubs in 2019. It was also rumored earlier that this player, known as the “Chinese Manchester City”, would move to Shenzhen.
