Dear all Chengdu Fans,

It’s time to say Goodbye for now.
This has been the most difficult decision of my life but I believe that now is the right time for both the club and myself to move in a new direction and start a new challenge.

Four years ago I joined this special club and instantly fell in love with the city and the people of Chengdu!

From my first goal against Meizhou to the first game back in Shuangliu. The first game in Phoenix Hill to my first professional brace just a few games later! From 27 games unbeaten to reaching the Champions League. From qualifying for The ACL Elite to scoring the winning goal in our first Champions League win! Above all, being your captain and representing you!

These last 4 years have been the best and most exciting journey of my life and I walk away proud with my head held high knowing that I gave every last drop of myself to the club, this city and you amazing fans!

Finally, to you fans, the best fans, I want to say a special thank you from the bottom of my heart! Every message, every gift, every shout of my name and the support that you gave to me and my family will be treasured forever!

Best wishes,

Tim

亲爱的成都球迷们：

是时候暂时说声再见了。

这是我人生中做过最艰难的决定，但我相信，此刻对俱乐部和我自己来说，都是开启新方向、迎接新挑战的对的时间。

四年前，我有幸加盟了这家特别的俱乐部，也一下爱上了成都这座城市和这里的人们。
从对阵梅州的第一个进球，到重回双流的第一场比赛；从凤凰山的首场亮相，到几场比赛后就完成了我的职业生涯首个“梅开二度”；从27场不败，到闯进亚冠赛场；从晋级亚冠精英联赛，到在俱乐部首场亚冠胜利中打入制胜进球；
其中，最重要的，是能够成为你们的队长，代表你们出战！

过去四年，是我人生中最美好、最激动人心的一段旅程。我可以昂首离开，因为我知道，自己已经为这家俱乐部、这座城市，以及这些了不起的球迷，倾尽所有。

最后，我想对你们，世界上最好的球迷们，献上最诚挚的感谢。你们的每一条留言、每一份礼物、每一次呼喊我的名字，以及给予我和家人的支持，我都会永远珍藏在心。

衷心祝福

Tim
