SUZHOU, China: Wuhan Zall were given a guard of honour on the way to victory and medical staff from the city were applauded as Chinese football made a poignant return Saturday following a long delay because of coronavirus.
Zall, wearing their orange and white home kit, held a large banner thanking the Chinese people and honouring"anti-epidemic heroes". During that time Spanish coach Jose Gonzalez's men were stranded in Spain, then quarantined in southern China and only returned to Wuhan in April after 104 days on the road.
"It was a responsibility and my players were conscious that today they had to give a victory, a triumph to our city and our fans," added the Spaniard, who was appointed in January.Zall were purposely chosen to play on the first day of the virus-disrupted season in recognition of the trauma the city and its team faced in recent months.
