In a round of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan faced the Manatees at home, and this game attracted much attention because of the start of Taishan's foreign player Delgado. Delgado, a player with a background in Portugal's youth team, also made his debut in the Portuguese Super League, making many Shandong fans see him as a key figure who can bring about a turnaround for the team. However, "not worthy of the name", this seems to be the best portrayal of Delgado's game.
Soon after the start of the match, Delgado's performance began to surprise people. His performance on the court lacked passion and professionalism, and he looked incapable at both ends of the pitch. In one defensive round, Delgado's mistake led directly to a quick counter-attack by his opponent, which not only caused the Tarzans team to concede the goal, but also angered the fans in the stadium. As the match progressed, boos began to ring out in the crowd, with some even shouting at him to "get out of the way if you don't want to play".
Delgado clearly didn't take advantage of this rare starting opportunity. What was supposed to be a stage to show itself has become the focus of public criticism. On 63 minutes, Taishan head coach Choi Kang-hee decided to replace him, and the once highly-anticipated player angrily returned to the locker room in the face of fan dissatisfaction and criticism. His behavior can't help but make people sigh, "people have a big temper".
The criticism from the fans is not unfounded. Delgado's performance on the field was indeed disappointing, especially when it came to slackness in defense, which led directly to the opponent's scoring. His attitude and performance make it hard to believe that he was a member of the national youth team and a player in the Portuguese Super League. And his behavior after the game was seen as a blatant challenge to the team's discipline and spirit.
Faced with such a situation, Delgado's future in the Tarzan team is clearly in jeopardy. According to information from the transfer market, his contract with the Tarzan team will expire at the end of this year. Considering his current performances, a contract extension is almost out of the question. Delgado needs to start thinking about his next move, and perhaps he should really consider moving to a lower-tier team to regain his passion and form.
In such a highly competitive environment, every player needs to constantly prove his worth. Delgado's example reminds all professional players that only with consistent hard work and a positive attitude can they be invincible in the competition. For Delgado, this experience could be an important turning point, and he will need to seriously reflect and adjust himself if he is to be able to return to the top in the future.
