The Chinese Super League is currently in the preparatory period, while Guangzhou and Shandong Taishan sent youth troops to play in the new season of the AFC Champions League, last night, the first round of the AFC Champions League group stage began, and the two teams of the Chinese Super League have ushered in fiasco, which makes Chinese fans sad. However, what is even more emotional is that the Brazilian foreign aid, which was regarded as a "parallel cargo" in the Chinese Super League last season, completely broke out in the AFC Champions League, and after leaving the Chinese Super League in the new season, it achieved a super high efficiency of scoring 5 goals in 9 games and became the top scorer of the South Korean giants!
This is the Brazilian foreign player Leonardo, who was introduced by Shandong Taishan from the Japanese league Urawa Red Diamonds at the beginning of last season, when Shandong Taishan spent 2.1 million euros for him, which is already a super high value in the Japanese league, and Shandong Taishan obviously wants to build him as a future star. However, in the first half of the season, Leonardo played for Shandong Taishan in 8 games with only 1 goal, and was soon loaned by the team to play for Hebei, where his performance also did not improve!
In the second half of the season in Hebei, Leonardo made 12 appearances and only 1 goal and 1 assist, and only 2 goals in 20 games in 1 year of the Chinese Super League, Leonardo was also labeled as a "Chinese Super League parallel goods". Especially after Shandong Taishan won the double championship, Leonardo lost his position. In the new season, he was loaned by Shandong Taishan to K League giants Ulsan Hyundai, he also represented the team in the AFC Champions League, Leonardo scored in the play-offs, and last night was even more explosive!
In the match against Kawasaki Forward, Leonardo scored the team's only goal, drawing 1-1 with his opponent and scoring a valuable point. So far, Leonardo has played 9 games in all competitions for Ulsan Hyundai this season, contributing 5 goals. Is the team's top scorer. Today, he has secured the main position of the team, Ulsan Hyundai has also achieved an unbeaten record of 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 matches, and in the Korean K League, the team is at the top of the list and is expected to impact the championship!
There is no doubt that the "Chinese Super League Parallel Goods" has become a hero of the South Korean giants in a short period of time, which makes Chinese fans even more confused. The young Brazilian striker obviously did not play a real strength in the Chinese Super League, fortunately, his current ownership is still in the hands of Shandong Taishan, we look forward to the future he can return to the Chinese Super League to prove himself, Chinese football needs more excellent foreign aid, not to mention that he is still so young, the future meets the naturalization requirements!
