Reporter Liu Xiangyu reported, in the East Asia Cup, our Hong Kong star An Yongjia with excellent performance and outstanding appearance, won wide attention. Known as "our Hong Kong C Luo" An Yongjia, with its exquisite skills and robust physique to become the team's key point of attack.
Not long ago, An Yongjia's contract with Jiezhi expired and he moved to the first division team Guangxi Pingguo Ha Loud and Clear. Recently, this newspaper exclusively interviewed this highly regarded soccer star.
◆Football: An Yongjia, can you share the team's recent preparations?
An Yongjia: We had a few teaching matches in Pingguo and Nanning and arrived at the Tangshan tournament on the 23rd. The team has had a lot of physical training and new coach Zhao Changhong is gradually integrating his tactical philosophy into the team. We all know that this stage of the game is crucial to relegation this year.
◆Why did you choose to join the HARRISON?
During the time I played for Kitchee, the overall level of soccer in my country, Hong Kong, was not high enough to help me much in my future development. Moreover, my progress was limited. Therefore, in recent years, I began to have the idea of playing soccer in the Mainland. However, the league in the Mainland has not been in a very good condition in the past two years, and many teams have tightened their funding, so it is more difficult to come over here to play soccer. Later, Pingguo gave me this opportunity and I didn't think too much about it, I just wanted to come here to play soccer. As for which team to join, it's not the most important thing, I feel that, whether it's the Chinese Super League or the Chinese First Division, it can help me to take my career to the next level.
Do you know anything about Hahoe before ◆?
I have friends who play soccer in the Mainland and I will learn something from them. In addition, I have communicated more with Oscar, the former manager of Hazard, and I have done a lot of homework on the Central League. What made me decide to join this team initially was Oscar, and even though he has left, I'm still happy to play over here.

Yasunaga: He is also left-footed and plays left back. He watches every game I play and after the game, we have some communication and he will tell me what I can do better and I listen to his advice.
◆ At what age did you start playing soccer?
When I was four or five years old, I think, every day my dad would take me to play soccer, at home, at the park, at the field.

◆Football: You've been called "our Hong Kong Crow", how do you feel about this label?
YASUNAGA: Crowe is the best international player and it's difficult for me to compare myself with him, and it's even more unrealistic to compare myself to him. Of course, if someone puts such a label on me, it's someone else's opinion and I don't think about it that much myself.
