Such a special status makes Delgado's position in Taishan extremely awkward. As a foreign aid, his ability is still insufficient. As an inside aid, Delgado's ability is indeed sufficient, but the Football Association does not recognize his status as an inside aid.
As a result, Delgado has spent the last three years on loan from Taishan FC to Portuguese Superliga side Sporting Aves and Chinese League One side Kunshan FC.After his naturalization ended, he only played half a season in the Chinese Super League for Taishan in the second half of the 2021 season.
Objectively speaking, Delgado has performed quite well this half season. In 14 rounds of Chinese Super League, he scored 5 goals and delivered 2 assists for Taishan. In the F.A.C. Cup, Delgado scored 4 goals in 4 matches, which contributed greatly to Taishan winning the F.A.C. Cup.

It is also worth mentioning that with the addition of Delgado, it has become Suzhou Dongwu's first foreign player this season. Although Suzhou Dongwu is eighth in the A table, there is still a hope of overtaking the league leaders with only 8 points separating them. I hope Delgado's addition will bring them good luck. Last season, he joined Kunshan FC who won the A title and managed to overtake them. Only the club's investors suddenly withdrew their capital at the beginning of this year and Kunshan FC announced its dissolution.
According to the information from relevant data sites, Delgado's contract with Taishan FC will expire at the end of this year. Being rented out by the club for the third time now seems to imply that Delgado's hope of staying with the team has become very slim. Obviously, the naturalized striker is not Choi Kang-hee's cup of tea.
Earlier, Delgado also posted a message on social media to publicly express his dissatisfaction with the Taishan situation. As things stand, the naturalized striker has become a probable event after his contract with the club expires at the end of...
