Anderson Silva was a less successful signing for Guoan, and after joining the team in the middle of the 2021 season, due to some policy reasons at the time, he only played 8 times for Guoan, although he scored 2 goals and showed a certain ability to cooperate, but the overall performance did not meet the team's expectations.
Finally, amid doubts, he was known as the "water seat" and terminated his contract with the team at the end of the season.
After leaving Guoan, Anderson soon found a new job in Portugal, joining Portuguese Premier League mid-table side Guimaraes, and playing with the team for all the 2022-2023 season.
During his season at Guimarães, Anderson's overall performance was decent, not too brilliant, but not too bad. He has played with the team in several competitions in the UEFA Europa League, Portuguese Premier League and Cup, not only maintaining a high attendance rate, but also scoring goals in every competition.
In the four games of the UEFA Europa League, Anderson started 1 time, made 3 substitute appearances, and scored 2 goals;
30 appearances in the Portuguese Premier League, 14 starts, 16 substitutes, 4 goals and 1 assist;
3 games in the Allianz Cup, 1 start, 1 substitute, 1 goal;
Portugal domestic cup, 2 starts, 1 goal.
Throughout the season, Anderson made 38 appearances and scored eight goals in all competitions for Guimarães. Played a total of 1,700 minutes.
Although his value is still on a downward trend, it has dropped from 2 million euros when he first transferred to Guoan, to 1.2 million euros at present. But fortunately, last season, Anderson maintained a certain number of appearances and goals, and his relatively stable performance still allowed him to gain some favor in the transfer market.
According to Portuguese sports newspaper Ball Newspaper, Anderson will travel to Turkey in the new season to join the Antalya sports team. Since his contract with Guimarães is until 2025, if this transfer can be successfully completed, it will also bring Guimaraes a million euros in earnings.
Anderson's move to Antalya Sporting will be team-mates with former Guoan midfielder Fernando. Fernando has played for a season and a half with the team and has performed well and is also a core player in the team's midfield.
In the 2021-2022 season, Fernando joined the team in the second half of the Turkish Super League, scoring 4 goals and 4 assists in only 17 appearances, and quickly integrated into the team.
In the past 2022-2023 Turkish Super League season, except for injuries and suspensions, he started all 30 games and played 90 minutes in most games, scoring 5 goals and 2 assists.
However, Fernando and Anderson did not become teammates when they played for Guoan. This is the same situation as the current transfer of Bakambu to Dubai Victory and Memei, although both played for Guoan, but not in the same period.
Antalya Sports currently does not have many serious center forwards, one is the most expensive American striker in the team and the top scorer, Haji Wright, and the other is Turkish teenager Ilderin. The introduction of Anderson is also a reserve as a striker.
In addition, Swedish foreign player Larsson, who previously played for Dalian Renren in the Chinese Super League, was also a striker with a high appearance rate in the team last season. However, he appears more on the wing, not the same as Anderson's technical style.
Although the Portuguese Premier League and the Turkish Super League are second-rate leagues, for two consecutive seasons, there are teams in Europe who show favor to Anderson, which also shows that he is not a real "parallel product", but the Chinese Super League's requirements and dependence on foreign aid are too high.
