On December 31, 2024, Chongqing Tongliang Dragons Football Club saw a major personnel change. On that day, the team officially announced the farewell of 13 players, including Vukic, Tabek, Andrejevic, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan player Yin Yagi and 9 local players. At the same time, the team also announced the news of veteran Wu Qing's retirement.
The club's official announcement, titled Tomorrow is the long way, take this time to the heart, revealed the decision to terminate the contracts of 13 players after friendly negotiations.
The departure of players such as Kudizheti, Li Yijie, Chen Zhao, Shi Jiwei, etc. has made this team say goodbye to a group of comrades who had been fighting for their dreams side by side. Their hard work and efforts on the field won the praise and good memories of the fans.
It is worth mentioning that six players, including Kudizheti, Yin Yagi and Tabek, joined the team in the winter training stage in 2024 and won the fans' favor by their professional performance. And Li Yijie and Shi Jiwei joined the team since the winter training stage in 2023, contributing to the team's promotion from the Chinese B to the Chinese A League.
Chen Zhao and Vukic joined the team in the mid transfer stage of the 2024 season and formed a strong friendship with the team despite the short period of time. Zhao Hejing, a veteran, joined the team and helped the club to be promoted from the Amateur League to the China First Division, and played 49 games for the team in the 2023-2024 season, scoring 4 goals.
Although Zhao Hejing's playing career is over, he will contribute to the team in a new capacity in the new season. Meanwhile, the rise of young players such as Wang Weicheng and Wang Shiqin has injected new vigor into the team.
The parting is difficult, but the scenery remains the same. Chongqing Tongliang Dragons Football Club would like to thank every player for their contribution and wish them all the best in the future. We believe that their stories with the team will be even more exciting in the new journey.
Go, Chongqing Tongliang Dragon! Let's work together for this love and give it our all!
