Brazilian attacking midfielder Rogerio Silva joins Chinese club Qingdao Zhongneng

Xinhua, July 15, 2015 Adjust font size:

Rogerio Silva, 31-year-old attacking midfielder from Brazil, joined China's Division One club Qingdao Zhongneng, announced the spokesman of the club on Wednesday.

"The only target of the club in this season is to promote to the Chinese Super League, but the attacking power of the team is weak, so we invited Rogerio Silva to join us," said Huang Jian, spokesman of the club.

Rogerio Silva, like a playmaker, will be a great help to the team, Huang Jian said.

Rogerio Silva played for Joseph Grundfest, Ponte Preta, Ceara Sports and Nautico Capibaribe in Brazil and a few Asian football clubs like Vissel Kobe and Al Wasl.

With 32 points, Qingdao is ranking the second of the league and falling five points behind the leader after about half season. The first two teams of the season will be qualified for the Chinese Super League. Endi
