With the opening time of the new season of the Chinese Super League getting closer and closer, the foreign aid of various clubs is basically in place, and last season's Chinese Super League double champion Shandong Taishan is a typical example.
Recently, The Taishan Club has successfully renewed the contract of Brazilian iron guard Judson, and officially signed Brazilian striker Cressan, and the renewal of the contract of the meritorious veteran Moises has also entered a substantive stage.
After a recent series of operations, the Taishan team's foreign support lineup for the new season has been quite neat, with Krisan in the frontcourt, Sun Junhao, Fellaini in midfield, and Moises who is expected to renew his contract, and Judsson in the backcourt.
However, the current Taishan team still lacks a foreign aid with strong offensive ability in the front court. Previously, there were many foreign aides in this position and the Taishan team rumors. For example, Cressan's Brazilian teammate Lincoln in Santa Clara, and The Championship team Bristol City's Austrian forward Weimann.
But judging from the recent situation, these two foreign players can definitely not join the Taishan team this season. Therefore, if you want to strengthen the position of the front waist, the Taishan team can only rely on internal digging. And now there is a suitable candidate in the Tarzan team, he is the naturalized player Delgado.
As we all know, in response to the call of the Football Association, the Taishan team naturalized the Portuguese Delgado as early as the summer of 2019. However, due to delGado's short time of residence in the country, he was not yet able to qualify for international competitions for the national football team.
Therefore, although Delgado has successfully naturalized, according to the Football Association's regulations on the management of naturalized players in the Chinese Super League, for the past two seasons, Taishan Club has been able to register him as a foreign aid for him in the league.
Therefore, if Delgado is to represent Tarzan in the Chinese Super League, he must occupy a valuable foreign aid spot in the team. Under such circumstances, Delgado, who could not be reused by Tarzan's former coach Li Xiaopeng, was loaned back to the Portuguese Premier League and did not return to Tarzan until last summer.
With the resignation of Li Xiaopeng and Hao Wei becoming the new coach of the Taishan team, Delgado finally ushered in his opportunity in the Taishan team. Last season, Delgado, who remained in the team, was reused by Hao Wei, and played very well in league and FA Cup matches, making a great contribution to Taishan's double victory last season.
At the end of last season, Delgado's question of leaving became a problem that plagued the Tarzan club. Such an excellent performance is really unreasonable not to keep him in the team, but occupying a foreign aid place in the team also makes the management of the club very headache.
Fortunately, according to the latest news released by the domestic media, delgado's internal aid transformation work has made progress recently. In the season, the Football Association also liberalized the policy of using naturalized players, and Delgado can basically be sure that he will represent Shandong Taishan as a local player in the Chinese Super League in the 2022 season.
This is undoubtedly good news for the Taishan team, delgado is counted as an internal support, allowing Hao Wei to have more choices in the platoon. The vacated foreign aid quota can also facilitate the club's introduction of new signings this season.
In addition, the Chinese men's football team can also benefit from it, can play in the Chinese Super League for a long time, Delgado can have more opportunities to run in with his teammates, and the cooperation with Chinese players will be more tacit, which will bring great help to him enter the national team to represent the national football team in international competitions in the future.
From this point of view, the Football Association allowed Delgado to participate in the Chinese Super League as an internal aid is still very praiseworthy. Here, we also hope that the Football Association can do more practical things in the future and bring more positive energy to the development of Chinese football.
