Shandong Taishan team met the Manatees in this round of the Chinese Super League, and the team won 1-0 against the Manatees in this game thanks to Delgado's goal. This allowed Delgado's ability to be recognized by fans and the media. You must know that in the match between the Tarzan team and the Manatees, Delgado did not start the game. Choi Kang-hee was more than 70 minutes into the game before he got the opportunity to come on as a substitute. Opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared, and this phrase is equally appropriate for Delgado.
Late in the game, Delgado received a clever pass from teammate Kaza and sent the ball into the Manatee gate. It was with this goal that Delgado conquered Choi Kang-hee and Luneng fans. After the game, a reporter asked Cui Kangxi Delgado who was in such good condition when he could lock up the starting line in Luneng. In this regard, Cui Kangxi also gave an answer for the first time.
Choi Kang-hee first said that Delgado is a very capable player, but he needs to integrate his own characteristics with the skills and tactics of the Taishan team in order to contribute more to the team. Judging from Cui Kangxi's answer, as long as Delgado integrates his characteristics with the skills and tactics of the Taishan team, then he will lock Luneng as the starter.
Delgado himself is a very strong striker, as you can tell from his time at Benfica. The important reason why he did not lock in the main force under Cui Kangxi was that Delgado did not train with Luneng systematically, which led to his state and physical fitness not being guaranteed. Therefore, Choi Kang-hee was unwilling to risk letting Delgado start, so he let him play as a substitute for the time being.
Fortunately, Delgado performed well on both substitute appearances, which gave Choi Kang-hee a very good impression. In addition, in the match between the Taishan team and the Manatees, the main striker Pato was plagued by injuries and has been replaced early. If Pato can't start in the fifth round of the Chinese Super League between Taishan and Henan, then Delgado will most likely play the main team. Hopefully, Delgado will be able to prove himself once again by another goal.
