On the evening of April 20, Beijing time, in the 7th round of the Chinese Super League, Chengdu Rongcheng sat at home to face Shenzhen Xinpeng City. In the end, after a fierce battle of more than 90 minutes, the home team Chengdu Rongcheng opened a big kill and defeated Shenzhen Xinpeng City with a score of 3:1 and won the sixth victory of the season.
In this game, the brightest player in the Chengdu Rongcheng team is naturally the team's leading striker Felipe. The 32-year-old Brazilian striker showed his prowess in this campaign, scoring three goals and scoring a hat-trick to almost single-handedly lead Chengdu Rongcheng to a hearty victory. said that he was the first contributor to Chengdu Rongcheng's victory, and I believe no one will have any objections.
In contrast, Ackerson, a naturalized ace who is also a center forward, has become a forgotten frustrated person. In this game, although Aikesen entered the game squad, he never got a chance to play for 1 minute, and completely became an off-the-field spectator in Chengdu Rongcheng. It can be said that how beautiful Felipe is, how frustrated Exxon is.
What makes Exxon feel depressed is that not only this game has been snubbed by coach Xu Zhengyuan, from the first round of the 2024 new season to the present, it has surpassed in 7 rounds, and Exxon has only got 3 appearances under Xu Zhengyuan, and has not got 1 start, almost all of them are garbage time substitutes. It can be seen that in the tactical system of South Korean coach Xu Zhengyuan, the naturalized international ace Ackerson has been completely reduced to a dispensable chicken rib.
Fans who are familiar with Exxon know that he was once the chief scorer of the eight-time champion Guangzhou Evergrande, and in the 2014 season, Ackerson played his highest season after landing in the Chinese Super League, that season, he scored 34 goals for Guangzhou Evergrande in all competitions, of which, the Chinese Super League bombarded 28 goals in a single season. It has been 10 years since this highlight single-season goal record in the Chinese Super League, and no one has been able to break it so far. It shows how brave Exxon was at his peak back then.
However, the heroes don't mention the courage of the year, and now Exxon has suffered a fading halo, no longer shining, his talent has withered, and his competitive state has shown a cliff-like decline. Not to mention that compared with super foreign strikers like Felipe, Exxon is now compared with ordinary local strikers, and there is no advantage at all. Last season, he played 27 games and scored just eight goals. In the national football world preliminaries in March, Ivankovic did not know Ackerson's real physical condition because he was a newcomer, so he was called up to the national team. Now, seeing that Exxon can't even play in Chengdu Rongcheng, he should choose to decisively abandon Exxon. If Ackerson is really abandoned by the Chinese national team, then the twilight of his career is really embarrassing.
