Graziano Pellè, a player from Italy, is destined to go down in the annals of Shandong Luneng as he completed the "last goal" of the Shandong football Luneng era.
In the FA Cup final against Jiangsu Suning, Pele picked up a free kick from his teammate in the 77th minute and rubbed his muscles, giving Shandong Luneng a "reassurance pill" to win the championship. Although fans at the scene thought it was Song Long's goal at the back post, slow motion showed that the ball was indeed touched by Pele. The goal was very important for Pele himself, as it was also his last game for Shandong Luneng.
In the middle of the 2016 season, Italy international Pele joined The Chinese Super League team Shandong Luneng from Premier League team Southampton, with a transfer fee of 16 million pounds and an annual salary of tens of millions of euros, thus becoming the most expensive player in the history of Shandong Luneng.
At that time, although the Chinese Super League also had the so-called "high school forward", but the general height was less than one meter nine, until the arrival of Pele, let the fans of the Chinese Super League see what is called the real high school forward. Although Pele, who is 1.94 meters tall, is not a prolific goalscorer, as long as he is standing in the opposition's backcourt, then the opposing defender must play the spirit of twelve points, and its tactical role is obvious.
Some people will say that the former Shandong Luneng head coach Li Xiaopeng is too "conservative" with military tactics, only kicking long passes and hanging, lacking in viewing, in fact, I think that there is a Pele in the front court who does not play long passes, which is a serious waste.
Such a statistic, this season's Shandong Luneng Li Xiaopeng coaching period, their record is 7 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, the goal loss is 19:11, is the best defensive of all teams. In the period of Hao Wei's coaching, he began to reuse Guedes to change his tactical style, and the number of goals did increase greatly, scoring 16 goals in 6 games, but the number of goals conceded also reached a staggering 14 (the FA Cup data is not counted here, because the two sides are not a level at all).
It can be said that Pele alone decided the tactical style of Shandong Luneng, with him and without him the game is not the same, see pele's strength, the Chinese Super League teams have imitated Shandong Luneng, from the world football to introduce high school strikers become fashionable.
The above is only part of the data of high school forwards, I do not believe that the Chinese Super League is the sixth largest league in the world, but I believe that the Chinese Super League is the top six leagues with the most high school forwards in the world.
Because of the arrival of Pele, the standard of the Chinese Super League for high school forwards has increased by at least five centimeters, there is such an interesting thing: in the past, Guangzhou Evergrande player Axon can still be said to be a center forward, but now he can only play wingers, and Talisca, who is a winger, is often used by Cannavaro as a high school striker because of his height of one meter and nine meters, and it is said that Arnautovic is the ideal high school striker that Cannavaro looks at.
I have to say that Pele did lead an era of "super" high school strikers in the Chinese Super League, although now he is going to take the lead in leaving the Chinese Super League because of the expiration of his contract, but I think many people will not easily forget him, especially the fans of Shandong Luneng.
Because of the regulations of the Football Association, Shandong Luneng can no longer be called "Luneng" next season, so Pele, the finisher of the last goal in the history of Shandong Luneng for more than 20 years, will be destined to be remembered by Shandong fans forever, which is the eternal glory of both sides.
Thank you, Pele.
Wonderful good-looking positive energy of the Chinese Super League character history, unfinished to be continued / football flathead brother
