Knowing that Ickerson's contract with Chengdu Rongcheng was about to expire, the team would probably refuse to renew his contract if he couldn't show a convincing performance in the game. Luckily, under pressure, Ickerson has exploded into action. In Chengdu Rongcheng's most recent match against Qingdao West Coast, Ixon came on as a substitute and showed great form, scoring twice.
Elkeson scored a double with Chengdu Rongcheng, which will be a major turning point in his career. It is possible that the club's head coach Xu Zhengyuan will decide to give the naturalized striker a new contract after this match. Elkeson has been playing in Chinese soccer for many years and has expressed his desire to finish his career playing in China in interviews with the media. I believe it's only a matter of time before this goal is realized as long as Elkeson continues to perform well.
