In the seventh round of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Luneng hosted Cangzhou Lions. It was thought that this season Shandong Luneng's slump would be difficult to get 3 points on Cangzhou Lions. But unexpectedly, Shandong Luneng swept away the previous slump and scored 4 points at home. :1 to beat Cangzhou Lions by a large margin, once again showing the style of the Chinese Super League veteran powerhouse.
Shandong Luneng were able to beat the Cangzhou Lions at home, and one frontcourt ace will collect a huge achievement. Not Kazaishvili, not Li Yuanyi, not Jadason, but naturalized international Fernando, who has made a strong return this season.
As you can see, going into the new season, Fernando's overall athleticism has improved across the board compared to previous seasons. In the past, due to injuries, Fernando could only play half a game at most, most of which were substitutes; now, Fernando not only gets the chance to play on the field, but also plays for the first time in many of them, and sometimes even plays the whole game. This is a good indication that Fernando has fully returned with blood.
In this battle, Fernando once again became the key man of Shandong Luneng. In the 21st minute of the first half, Wang Dalei made a long pass to counter the counterattack, Fernando made a precise cross pass, and the talented starlet Abdul Meat Suli went all out to complete the goal. Although Fernando did not score the goal, his key assist played a decisive role. Without his lateral assist, where would Abdul Mezuli have gotten that shot?
As the first half was coming to an end, Shandong Luneng put the icing on the cake. In the next city, Liu Yang was kicked down in the penalty area. Fernando was given the chance to take the penalty kick. Fernando, who has excellent footwork and a cool head, resisted the pressure and easily hit the penalty kick to score Shandong Luneng's third goal. Fernando was perfect in one goal and one assist.
And the happiest person about Fernando's complete explosion in the Chinese Super League is not Luneng coach Choi Kang-hee, but coach Ivankovic. Fernando's form has been bright, which is the biggest good news for the national soccer team at the moment. Not only was Fernando called up for the national soccer team's last World Cup qualifying match, but he showed amazing numbers. As long as Fernando is not injured, he will surely continue to be called up by the national soccer team for the World Cup preliminaries in June. Right now, Ivan would like nothing more than to see Fernando continue to perform well in the Chinese Super League and that his physical athleticism remains consistent and does not decline. Judging from these 4 games starting :from 1 sweep, Fernando's form is almost to the point of being resurrected with fresh blood. This kind of Fernando is the biggest "killer app" of the national football team to overcome the enemy. in June, the match with Thailand men's football team, there is Fernando such a full of creativity and lethal "killer app". Why can't the national soccer team beat Thailand to the last laugh?
