The Chinese Super League has completed ten rounds of matches. In the tenth round of matches, Shandong Taishan began to gradually return to the right track. The new coach, Cui Kangxi, has reorganized the team and made it more pure, sweeping away the previous shady practices of Hao Wei's time. The players are also able to work together as a team. In this round of matches, Taishan defeated Qingdao Hainiu 1-0. Eight of the starting eleven performed well, with ratings over 7 points. Only Fellaini, Kressan and Liao Lixiang were average.
Choi Kang-hee quickly activated Taishan's local players and achieved 3 consecutive wins, 2 wins + 1 draw since his appointment. Under the authority of famous coach Choi Kang-hee, Taishan naturalized international player Fernando has no privileges. He won't get special care during the game, so he needs to show his form to compete for game time. Fernando recovered from his injury and came on as a substitute in the 68th minute of the match in the 1-0 win of Qingdao Sea Cowboys, but he was in a slump and was replaced again in the 90th minute of the match.
This is a very rare phenomenon where a player's substitute appears and is then replaced, making Fernando a laughing stock. Many once again questioned Fernando's attitude and even suggested that Choi Kang-hee had lost patience with Fernando and was very unhappy with Fernando's performance after his appearance. Statistically, Fernando made two attempts with one success, made six out of seven passes, and conceded seven times in 22 minutes of playing time.
From the perspective of this game alone, Fernando did disappoint, but he hasn't played much in the last two years and his fluctuating form should be understood. Coupled with the fact that Choi Kang-hee is leading the team in a more pure situation, it would be normal for Fernando's replacement to be replaced. On the contrary, it will inspire Fernando's fighting spirit and make him realize that game time needs to be earned by his form. Only by being in good form can we earn more game time. This kind of motivation is very important for a player who used to rot.
In terms of individual ability, Fernando clearly has no problem. In general, there is no attitude problem. This is clearly a piece of history. At this stage it won't come back or he won't be able to get a contract with the Taysiders.
Fernando, 30, has played a total of five matches this season, with all substitutions appearing on stage, and the injury proves that his body is still in the process of recovery, and with his poor physical condition, the little motorcycle's skills may be only half as good as they could be. In terms of overall performance, Taishan have recognized Fernando's capable attributes. In 5 matches, he played a total of 135 minutes and created 4 great chances. In addition, he managed to complete an assist and a long pass that created a one-touch chance. Unfortunately, his teammates failed to capitalize on the one-touch chances. Recently, Fernando showed his excellent attacking ability in training, as he continuously dribbled past several players and completed a wonderful shooting performance. His individual attacking ability is outstanding. Therefore, Fernando, as long as he adjusts his game condition and fitness at the back, will be the thigh of Taishan's offense, with far better passing and shooting ability than other international players.
