Pay tribute to meritorious service! Wuhan officially sealed the club's No.8 jersey, and Hanlin Yao stayed as a coach after retiring.

With the end of the last round of competition in the league relegation group, the 221 Super League will also come to an end. While many teams are fighting for the number of places in the Super League, the Wuhan team, which completed the relegation task ahead of schedule, held a retirement ceremony for its captain Hanlin Yao before the final round of the league. Li Qin, the general manager of the club, presented him with a sealed jersey to commemorate his retirement. In the eighth minute of the game, Hanlin Yao, who made his career debut for the last time, was replaced, and players from both sides of the war spontaneously lined up on the sidelines to pay tribute to Hanlin Yao.

Wuhan Club officially announced that Hanlin Yao's No.8 jersey will be permanently sealed to pay tribute to his contribution to Wuhan football and to permanently commemorate his outstanding contribution to Zall football in the past ten years. Paying tribute to meritorious service and inheriting culture, this behavior of Wuhan Club also brings warmth to China football in the cold winter.

As a flag figure of Wuhan football, it is also the backbone of Zall football for ten years. Near retirement, Hanlin Yao admitted in an exclusive interview with Football News that he was very surprised and moved when he learned that the No.8 jersey number was sealed. He also said: "I am very grateful to Zall for his persistence in the past ten years, and to our investor Yan Zong, as a private enterprise, for his constant efforts and investment in the past ten years. Especially in the case of such a serious epidemic in the past two years, the whole environment is not very good. He still insists on investing as always. As an experience of Zall's football for ten years, I admire and appreciate Yan Zong very much. I want to say here, thank you, Yan Zong, for your hard work.
