0 goals in 6 round of 12 matches, this is the answer sheet that Axon handed over in the round of 12, and the answer is undoubtedly unsatisfactory. Because of this, Axon was abandoned by the national football coach Li Xiaopeng. Li Xiaopeng would rather use local players than Axon, which is enough to see the former's dissatisfaction with Axon's state. Perhaps because of such a poor state, Axon is now reduced to the Second Division, and is a short-term worker.
As we all know, Axon is a naturalized international. As early as 2013, Axon came to China, when his name was Elkeson. In the early days of Evergrande, Axon was in excellent form, scoring as many as 28 goals in the 2014 season and winning the Golden Boot of the Chinese Super League. However, due to the impact of injuries, Axon's position at Evergrande declined, and he subsequently joined SIPG. But after the naturalization policy was released, Axon returned to Evergrande, this time as a Chinese player. Due to the change of identity, Axon is highly anticipated by fans, expecting him to be as good as he has been playing for Evergrande before. Regrettably, as he grew older, Axon's state declined significantly.
With Lippi's departure, Axon's status in the national football team has also declined seriously. Under Li Tie, Axon's performance was sluggish, and in the entire round of 12, Axon played 6 times, did not score a goal, and was not as good as a marginal international like Luo Guofu. Because of this, Axon's main position was replaced by Zhang Yuning and he became a substitute. After being terminated by Evergrande, Axon had no choice but to return to Brazil to make a living.
According to domestic media, Axon's new owner is out, it is Gremio, who was relegated to the Second Division last year. It is reported that Axon and Gremio's contract only lasted until the end of this year, that is, only 8 months of contract. However, Axon also has the right to renew his contract for 1 year on a priority basis.
It is worth mentioning that at present, Gremio has set the maximum salary for the team of BRL 5.85 million (825,000 euros after tax), that is, the maximum annual salary of Axon who has just signed will not exceed 825,000 euros. From the annual salary of 10 million euros in the Evergrande period to no more than 825,000 euros today, Axon's treatment can be called a cliff-like decline.
