On December 8, Beijing time, the China First Division League ended with Kunshan defeating Zibo Cuju 1-0 to win the title with 28 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss in a single season. Delgado and Kunshan together won the championship trophy and the China First Division League medal. Delgado has been on loan to Kunshan for half a season, scoring 7 goals and dishing out 2 assists, and is in good shape overall.
Kunshan have been popular this season as they overtook Nantong Jiyun mid-season and achieved their overtaking goal early. Delgado did not register for the Super League with Taishan this season and Kunshan opted to take Delgado on loan mid-season to improve their attacking prowess. Delgado adapted quickly in Kunshan and became the hero of the Kunshan Premier League with seven goals and two assists.
Delgado was a substitute for Kunshan and Zibo Cuju in the final game of the season. Kunshan beat Zibo Cuju 1-0 with a goal from Berto to end the 2022 season with a victory. Kunshan won the trophy at the Central League championship ceremony. Delgado won the Chinese Super League and FA Cup with Taishan last season and the Central League title with Kunshan this season.
Delgado, who won the Chinese First Division championship medal, has a loan deal that expires in December. After the expiration of his loan, Delgado should return to Taishan for winter training. According to the rules of the Football Association, Delgado will still only be able to participate as a foreign player next season and will not be able to play at all levels as a local player until the 2024 season. The key for Delgado at this stage is to have more opportunities to improve his game. In the future, he would also like to be selected for the national soccer team and represent them in the World Cup.
