Luneng's longest resident foreign aid player in history

The longest-staying foreign aid player in Luneng history is Brazilian midfielder Van Nistelrooy, who spent six years in China.

Van Nistelrooy joined Luneng in 2006, becoming the first foreign aid in the history of China football to wear a Luneng shirt. He quickly gained an important position in the team with his outstanding skills and excellent leadership. During his six years at Luneng, Van Nistelrooy helped the team achieve many honors, including two Super League championships and a China FA Cup championship. He also became the core and leader of the team on the court.

Van Nistelrooy's mark in China is not only on the court, he also actively participated in the popularization and development of football in China. As one of the most popular foreign aid in the history of China Football Professional League, Van Nistelrooy has actively participated in various charity activities and football training classes, making important contributions to China football.

However, Van Nistelrooy's career has not been smooth sailing. During his tenure at Luneng, he suffered many injuries, which also affected his performance and state. Despite this, Van Nistelrooy still persevered, overcame various difficulties, and continued to fight for the team.

Van Nistelrooy left Luneng in 2012, ending six years of football with China. He has won the love and respect of China fans for his outstanding performance and sincere attitude. Van Nistelrooy's departure is undoubtedly a major loss in Luneng's history, but his footprints will always remain in the history of China football.
