It is clear that Fernando's current form is far from satisfying the requirements of Taishan boss Choi Kang-hee. Witnessing the upcoming summer transfers in the Chinese Super League, Taishan's top priority now is to clear Fernando out of the team.
However, while it's easy to invite the gods and hard to send them away, it can be very tough for Tarzan to send Fernando away right now. Referring to Fernando's value and current poor state, not to mention the CSL club. I'm afraid no one wants him, even if he has in-house assistance status. After all, many local players younger and more dynamic than Fernando still can't find work.
Therefore, the next Taishan club can only continue to raise Fernando until the end of next year to solve the problem. From this perspective, Hao Wei is really painful for the club and his successor. A fundamentally bad naturalized player takes up a lot of the club's salary space as well as valuable league registration slots. It would certainly help the team a lot to leave this opportunity to young players who can't play in the first team.
It's not clear why Hao Wei brought in such a "waste" of a player in the first place. Could it be that he had a private deal with his agent and gained personal benefits by bringing in Fernando?
From the current situation, it is an impossible task for Taishan to send Fernando's chances to the summer window. Now, head coach Choi Kang-hee can only beat a dead horse and help Fernando find his form through training.
Instead of resting after the first stage of the league, Taishan started a two-week "devil training" under the leadership of Cui Kangxi, aiming to help players reserve physical fitness to cope with the challenges of the Chinese Super League, the AFC Cup and the AFC Champions League. Whether or not Fernando can be trained successfully depends on the strength and methods of the iron manager Choi Kang-hee.
