In the last three rounds of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan has won three consecutive victories, including two big wins with more than three goals, and it seems to be in hot form. However, as the main striker who is highly anticipated by fans, Cressan's performance before the match with Nantong Zhiyun was very sluggish, and he has fallen into a long goal drought. The league is a long journey, and if the top scorers are unable to maintain a consistent goalscoring efficiency, then the team's attack will go wrong, which in turn will affect the title prospects.
In this season's Chinese Super League, Cressan honestly struggled a little, and once did not score in 7 rounds, which was a big psychological blow to him. Cressan is very anxious, and in recent games there has been a blind solo behavior, even if his teammates are in a better position, he also chooses not to pass the ball, and shoots by himself with the ball, and the result is naturally very disappointed by everyone. As the head coach of Shandong Taishan, Cui Kangxi has no particularly good way to activate Cressan for the time being, and can only hope that he will find the hot form he was in in March as soon as possible and become a key figure in the team.
However, Cressan did not seem to be as impatient in private as he was on the pitch, and he even found time to do something that was widely praised. Not long ago, a photo of a young fan wearing a Cressan jersey went viral on the Internet, and Cressan himself was very moved after seeing it, and specially posted social updates to find this young fan. In the end, with the efforts of Shandong Taishan Club, they found the little fan, and invited his family to come to the scene to watch Shandong Taishan's 3-1 victory over Nantong Zhiyun in the league, and in this game, Cressan finally found his shooting boots and easily completed the hat trick, which can be regarded as the best gift for this child. Shandong Taishan's approach, as well as Cressan's heart-warming actions, these are positive energy, the team's head coach Cui Kangxi definitely supports, Taishan team's series of actions have been praised and applauded by fans, everyone has said that this is the style of the giants, even in adversity is not arrogant.
It can also be seen from this incident that Cressan is still very confident that he will find his shooting boots, otherwise he will not have the leisure to pay attention to things on the Internet, and even go down the field to interact with the fans in person, which is very valuable. The 27-year-old from Brazil, who has previously played in Brazil's domestic league, landed in the Chinese Super League in 2022 and made 31 appearances in his first season, scoring 25 goals and providing 10 assists. Last season, Cressan made a noticeable reduction in appearances, but still delivered 12 goals and 4 assists, and he is definitely one of the top scorers in the Chinese Super League.
So far this season, Cressan has made 16 appearances in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and providing 4 assists, and his efficiency is actually not low. It's just that Cressan's state in March was too hot, especially in the AFC Champions League, and the sluggishness of the Chinese Super League, the sluggish state was infinitely magnified. However, the season has just begun, Cressan still has enough time to recover his form, and the overall strength of Shandong Taishan is very strong, as long as it is adjusted in time, the prospects are still very optimistic.
