Liverpool FC fans received an unusual tweet from their favorite team Tuesday morning.

The tweet, which was written in Chinese, was translated a few moments later when the team announced it had launched an official Weibo account.

Weibo, for those who might not know, is a Chinese social network that is a cross between Facebook and Twitter. It drew attention in the U.S. for the outporing of reaction after NBA star Yao Ming announcement his retirement last month.

For the billions of people who can read Chinese, they can visit Liverpool's page at weibo.com/liverpoolfc for news, photos and to share their thoughts on the team.
