In the two legs of the 8-in-4 knockout round of the FA Cup, Shandong Taishan doubled against Wuhan to win 2-0 and 1-0 respectively, and the most outstanding performance was Delgado, who scored 3 goals, 1 goal, 1 assist and 1 indirect assist. Unfortunately, Delgado is in excellent form, only 24 years old, but he cannot represent the national football team.
2 years ago, Shandong Taishan naturalized Delgado, but at that time, Shandong Taishan did not think of some details, for example, Delgado had represented the Portuguese national youth in the European Youth Championship, so in a short period of time, Delgado could not represent the national football team. At one point, under Li Xiaopeng, Delgado played unhappily.
But now, Delgado is full of blood resurrection, the first round of the game, is Delgado's assist, to help Shandong team break the deadlock, Tian Xin scored. Delgado's free-kick then created another goal.
In this campaign, Delgado scored the only goal of the game. In the 64th minute, Delgado received a cross from Liu Yang and pushed the goal, giving Shandong a 1-0 lead and a 3-0 lead over Wuhan on aggregate. In the 81st minute, Delgado was replaced, and he was still a little depressed and did not smile. In Delgado's form, he definitely wants to play the full 90 minutes. In the end, Shandong defeated Wuhan 1-0 and advanced to the semifinals with an aggregate score of 3-0.
In 2 games, Delgado scored 3 goals and became the number one contributor to the promotion of Shandong team.
Unfortunately, Delgado can be called the strongest naturalized player in China today, but he can't represent the national football team, Delgado is only 24 years old, the age is very appropriate, and then look at the current national football naturalization forwards, Axon, Luo Guofu, Alain has long been 30 years old, as for Fernando, although not 30 years old, but is a glass man. Therefore, if the national football team wants to be selected into the team, it is a very regrettable thing that it cannot enter the national football team for the time being.
Of course, Delgado can play for the national football team in the future, but it will be waiting until the next World Cup qualifier, and I hope delgado will remain in good shape. The national football team has little hope of entering the Qatar World Cup, and in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Delgado will be entrusted with heavy responsibilities by the national football team.
