The second training session of Henan Team has been underway for several days, but two veterans, Gu Cao and Ke Zhao, have not appeared. According to the current conditions, if the two veterans fail to reach an agreement with the club and miss this training session, they will not be able to play for the first team in the new season. For veterans who are at the end of their careers, if they cannot participate in the new season, it is equivalent to retiring.
Now Henan fans are very concerned about the future of the two veterans. Everyone still hopes that the two veterans can compete in the new season. Even if they retire, there should be a decent retirement ceremony to allow fans to bid farewell to their own heroes properly. The two veterans have served Henan for many years, and a decent retirement is their last task. Everyone does not want them to leave hastily.
Speaking of Gu Cao, Henan fans naturally hope that this veteran will continue to support the team because the team is in great need of this veteran's experience. In the 2023 season, when Shunic was suspended, Henan fans believed that the team's defense would be left without any options, as no player's strength could match that of the foreign aid. However, at a critical moment, old Gu stood up and showed everyone with his actions: "Lian Po is not old yet, he can still fight."
In the 2024 season, Gu Cao, who has started to obtain a coaching license, is always remembered by Nan Ji Yi at crucial moments when the team needs to secure victory. In the final crucial moments, it is still necessary to use the veterans. For old Gu, our former captain, fans have various feelings of reluctance. Everyone still hopes that Brother Cao will continue to support the team. Even if he retires, fans will bid him farewell on-site. If he leaves like this, fans will be very sad. Not for anything else, just for the shocking kneel at Gongti back then, fans must bid farewell to their old captain.
In addition to hoping that Gu Cao stays, fans also want Ke Zhao to stay. Because Ke Daxia's experience at the wing-back position can still help the team. In the past two seasons, the team's wing-backs have been unstable. Even if Nan Ji Yi finds a way to solve the team's wing-back problems in the new season, the team still needs a veteran to stabilize the situation so that fans can feel more at ease. Because new combinations will inevitably have problems, having an experienced veteran is still reliable.
Although both old Gu and Ke Daxia are at the age of retirement, both veterans have a heart for striving. Now the team is in a period of transformation and urgently needs veterans to shout during training, matches, on the sidelines, and on the field. At the end of their careers, they should pass on their experience to the young players and show them with practical actions that veterans still have value. Fans also want to give the two veterans a decent farewell, so please try again, for yourselves, for the fans, for the team, please fight for another year.
