Although Guoan has not officially announced the joining of the Portuguese Super League striker, a number of mainstream media and well-known media people have revealed that Guoan has completed negotiations with Anderson Silva, and the striker will join Guoan soon.
This striker is not very famous, and he definitely needs Baidu, so what is he doing?
Anderson Silva is a Brazilian player born in São Paulo in 1997 and is 1.86 m tall as a striker. He debuted in 2016 with Guaratingeta in Brazil's Serie C and later to Guarani in The Second Division, but has no appearances. In the summer of 2017, he joined Famalican, who was then in the Portuguese First Division (Portugal's second division), and has played until today, helping the team to promote to the Portuguese Premier League (Portugal's top league), and later played with Famalican for two seasons in the Portuguese Premier League.
Silva's resume is simple, but fans are certainly concerned about the level of the striker.
Let's compare it with several previous strikers brought in from the Portuguese Super League. Guoan has previously brought in three strikers from the Portuguese Premier League: Roberto, Keita and Kleber.
From the perspective of resume, Silva's resume is relatively shabby, he has not played in the First Division, nor has he played for giants such as Porto, Benfica or Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Premier League, or even in the middle of braga, Marítimo and Guimarães. His team, Famarican, was promoted two years ago, but has had good results in those two years, in the middle of the Portuguese Premier League.
Roberto, Keita, and Kleber are different. Roberto previously played for Guimarães, with Keita starting with Setúbal in the middle of the Portuguese Premier League and later moving to Braga, one of the portuguese super teams. Kleber played for Maredimo, then to Porto, then to Estoril before coming to Guoan.
Of the teams that all three players played for, they were ranked stronger that year than Famalicon today. Moreover, Keita and Kleber both have records of playing for strong teams, especially Kleber, who has also played as a main center in Porto.
In terms of goal efficiency, Silva scored 14 goals in 53 games in two years in the Portuguese Premier League, and only 7 goals in two consecutive years, not in double figures.
Roberto, Keita and Kleber all scored more goals in a single season in the Portuguese Premier League than Silva.
Therefore, just from the perspective of resume and goal efficiency, Silva is not as good as the three center forwards guoan has previously found from the Portuguese Premier League.
So, in terms of technical characteristics, can Silva be in tune with national security? This requires further testing.
Judging from the current goal collection of Silva on the Internet, this is a typical Brazilian center, although he has some height, but the head ability is very general, the ability to do the ball protection on his back is not strong, but there is a certain skill under the feet, he can advance with the ball, and the dexterity and speed are not bad.
Judging from the performance in the video, Silva and Kleber are completely different strikers, although Kleber is a Brazilian striker, but his playing style is very European, he is a pile-type center, good at ferrying and doing the ball. Similarly, Keita and Roberto play closer to Kleber.
Silva's characteristics are more like the Brazilian international Ruo, who has played in the Chinese Super League before, and a bit like Guoan's former Brazilian centers Otto and Renaldo. They are all tall, but the head skills are not good, but have a certain degree of foot skills.
Silva's 14 goals in the Portuguese Premier League recorded on the transfer market website included only one header, with a balanced left-footed shot on goal, seven with left foot and six with right foot. Flipping further ahead to his experience in the Portuguese First Division, his headers were zero, most of which were left-footed shots.
It should be said that the foreign aid forwards of the previous examples, whether it is Roberto, Keita and Kleber from the Portuguese Premier League, or Brazilians Otto and Renaldo, they are not successful in Guoan. Roberto was ok as a super substitute but too old. Keita came to Guoan and was not satisfied. Kleber is famous and capable, but helpless is a glass heart. Otto and Reynaldo are called "parallel goods" by fans.
From this point of view, the style of the ball is closer to Otto and Renaldo's Silva, and it is really difficult to say what kind of performance can be played in Guoan.
However, Silva is not without any advantages. His biggest advantage is his youth, and he is now less than 24 years old. Judging from the data on the transfer market website, Silva's value has been rising over the years. And his performance is also on an upward trend.
He scored seven goals for the team in 19-20 and seven in 20-21, but the previous season's seven goals were scored in 31 games, and the most recent season's seven goals were scored in 22 games.
In particular, in the 20-21 season, all seven of his goals appeared in the second half of the league, and he scored five goals in four games in the 23-26 round, and the last two of his seven goals were scored by at Sporting Lisbon and Porto.
In other words, this Anderson Silva is a young striker in the ascendant period, and maybe in the future he will enter the vision of Porto, Benfica and other teams – of course, this is only a possibility. After all, Kleber's performance before he moved to Porto was much stronger than that of Silva.
One of the more interesting phenomena is that Anderson Silva is not an absolute mainstay in Famarican. He made 31 appearances in 19-20, but only started 6 times, but scored seven goals. This efficiency is said to be very high, which means that the average number of goals per game has exceeded 1. By 20-21, he had made 22 appearances for Famarican, including 12 starts and seven goals, and was still not the team's main player.
It should be noted that the transfer market website records that at the beginning of the 20-21 season, Anderson Silva suffered an inexplicable injury, rested for 98 days, and did not return until about the end of November. In other words, it can be understood that if it were not for this injury, his second year of his Portuguese Premier League career in Famalican would have been the main force of the team, but the injury caused him to play only half a year, and in this half year he scored 7 goals.
Of course, even if he can play a full season, he may not be able to score 14 goals, and even if he scores 14 goals, it is not a good result in the League at this level of the Portuguese Premier League. You should know that Iranian international Taremi scored 16 goals in the Portuguese Premier League this year.
If you look at it this way, this player is just a young striker who is in the ascendant period.
In the context of the Chinese Super League began to limit investment and salary, Guoan can no longer think of a high-level striker as Bakambu, and fans should not expect this Anderson Silva to have the same ability to average 1 goal per game as Bakambu, but what he plays in Guoan really needs to be seen. After all, this is a striker whose technical characteristics and ability status are not yet fully defined.
Anyway, in the Japanese and Korean leagues, there are many such foreign aides from Portugal or Brazil's lower leagues or weak league teams, such as Ulsan Hyundai striker Negang who killed Guoan last year, and even the Portuguese Super League has not been played. Therefore, how this person performs in national security should be viewed with caution.
Although his resume is slightly shabby, and his goal efficiency is even inferior to that of Kleber and Keita, unlike the previous Guoan foreign aides, he is one of the few "potential stocks", young and in an upward state, which may be the main reason why Guoan chose him.
To put it bluntly, even if you can't kick it in Guoan, the first is not expensive, and the second can be sold for money. And if he can kick it out, Guoan can even sign a 3-5 year long contract with him.
