This afternoon, Shanghai SIPG FC held a press conference for the new foreign player, Hulk. Hulk would begin his football career at Shanghai SIPG FC, wearing No. 8 shirt.
Hulk had been signed Shanghai SIPG FC on yesterday. SIPG would finish relevant registration affairs in China as soon as possible. If everything went well, Hulk should join the match against Henan Jianye on July 10th in home, which is a match of CSL.
¡°Thanks a lot for the invitation of SIPG. I will show you the fun of football in here. I hope you will be satisfied to me and everyone is happy. Now, I want to show my gratitude for the trust of Sui Guoyang general manager. I will play excellently in return. At the same time, I will show the charm of Brazilian football and help the team to get more goals.
I choose No. 8 shirt as my new shirt. The reason is that I hear of No. 8 is not a successful number in the club all the time. I want to say, when I was in FC Zenit, No. 7 was not a good number as well. But I didn¡¯t think so and chose No. 7 shirt. It turned out that No.7 was a successful and lucky number. I believe No. 8 will be also a successful number when I come to SIPG.
Shanghai is a big city. And SIPG FC is a great club. I am willing to accept challenges and assist the team to make progerss. That is my football career.
The general manager of Shanghai SIPG FC, Sui Guoyang, said that as great player as Hulk, he was the one we expected and needed. We hoped Hulk could play in ASL and help SIPG to finish the goal of CSL. We believed the arrival of Hulk would help SIPG to get good results of the season .
