In the 30th round of the Mobile League (Sub-League), Langheim hosted Brünnen and suffered a 1-4 defeat. 26-year-old Hou Yongyong scored the first goal of the season in the 15th minute and was awarded the Golden Boot for his 19 goals, and before the match, the team awarded the 2024 Mobile League Player of the Year award to the heart of the team. 29 appearances in the league for Hou Yongyong, wearing the number 10 shirt, with a total of 19 goals and 8 assists, is worth mentioning. Dong Fangzhuo, who was awarded the top goal scorer of the Europa League in the previous season and the first Chinese player to win the award, had previously been sent to Antwerp in the 2005-2006 season on loan, but was not awarded a goal.
However, the talented player has never been favored by any coach of the national soccer team, nor has he been selected for the national team of the Chinese men's soccer team.Previously, rumors about Hou Yongyong's change of nationality were rife.However, in July this year, Hou Yongyong posted a lengthy article on social media, clearly stating that he had not changed his nationality and expressing his desire to become a member of the national team.
Hou wrote: "I have always been a proud citizen of China and have never thought of changing my nationality...I am proud to be a member of this great country and thank her for everything...I look forward to returning to China soon to continue my journey of growth and learning," before expressing his desire to represent China: "I look forward to the day when I can play for the Chinese team."
