帕托或自由身离开中超(帕托官宣告别中国：旅程告一段落!会想念大家 自掏腰包与天海解约)

北京时间3月16日，此前自掏腰包与天海解约的帕托，今晚将启程离开中国。离别之际，帕托在社交平台上向中国球迷告别，表示自己在中国的旅程要告一段落了，他会想念大家，以及中国球迷。

帕托在2017年从西甲比利亚雷亚尔加盟天津权健（如今的天海俱乐部），转会费1800万欧元。2017赛季，帕托帮助权健获得中超季军，并拿到了亚冠联赛参赛资格。

由于帕托积极融入中国生活，经常晒一些下象棋、跳广场舞、卖煎饼果子等接地气的图片和视频，深受中国球迷喜爱。

不过今年冬天，权健事件爆发后，俱乐部也陷入动荡。冬季转会窗，帕托就想要重返巴甲未果，但他明确表示拒绝再为天海出场比赛。

最终，帕托以自掏腰包解约的方式离开中国。帕托代表权健各项赛事出场60次，打进36球，助攻8次。

附：帕托告别信全文

亲爱的中国朋友们：在这里我希望告诉大家，我在中国的旅程要告一段落了。

以前我曾来过中国，但是在2017年来到天津之前，说实话我之前对这座城市一无所知，我对一切感到惊喜，更是第一眼就爱上了这里。我还记得我在海河边，和这里的男女老少们一起度过的美好时光，我甚至尝试了这里的美食（并且还学会了怎么做哈哈哈）我爱天津，我爱这里的人民和球迷，你们是那么可亲，我永远想念你们。

过去两年和队友们的相处也非常美妙，中国让我获得成长，见识了新的风景，领略了不同的文化和风俗。

我用我的进球和表现，帮助球队第一次进入亚冠联赛，并且战胜了很多强敌。

感谢俱乐部，感谢我的队友，教练，和帮助我的工作人员们，感谢所有支持和鼓励我的球迷粉丝们，以及过去两年我在中国遇到的友好人民们。

我会想念大家，也确信大家会记得我，我会在微博继续和大家分享我的生活，希望大家能够继续关注我。

希望我带给大家的是我对于足球的热爱，而接下来，一段全新的旅程即将开始。

谢谢中国！永远感谢你们！

再见了！

帕托

My dear Chinese friends,

I‘d like to inform you that my adventure in China has come to an end.

I have been to China before but when I arrived in Tianjin for the first time in 2017 I didn’t know the city at all. It was a surprise and also it was love at first sight for me. I remember me walking by the river, playing with ladies, kids and men on the street and also trying some local food (and then I became very good at cooking it! Haha).

The city of Tianjin, the people, my fans: all people incredible and very kind! I will miss them so much.

These 2 years in China were full of happy moments with my teammates and full of new experiences. I am quite sure that China made me grow up as a man, I visited new cities and places, I learnt new different culture and habits of this great country.

I helped my team with my goals and my football to reach Asian Champions League for the first time in club’s history and to win against many strong opponent teams.

I would like to thank my club, my teammates, coaches, all the working people in the club, my fans and supporters who always sent me wishes and love and all the nice Chinese people I met during these 2 years in China.

I am sure I will miss China and I am also sure that many Chinese people will miss me. We will keep in touch on this app in the future. Keep on following me and my life.

I hope I imparted to you my big love for football and now a new adventure is about to start for me.

Xie xie China, I will be forever grateful to you.

See you!

Love，

Pato
