Spanning a journey of 5,770 kilometers, Talisker, standing in his prime, is steadily making his way towards the King Fahd International Stadium.
That brightest of times for Talisman, as we know him, is far behind us. Of the past three years, the most memorable was undoubtedly the glory years of 2018. That year, the 24-year-old Talisca spent the second half of the season for Guangzhou in the
China Super League (soccer league)
Made 18 league appearances, contributing 16 goals and four assists, showcasing his left-right, all-around ball skills.
The most daunting thing for the opponent's goalkeeper is that whenever there is a break in his own defense or a foul in front of the penalty area that produces a free kick, Talisker can always use his left-footed shot that is almost a descending blow to swing the ball into the dead corner of the opponent's goal, making the goalkeeper look at the ball and sigh. That year, he conquered the Guangzhou fans with his outstanding performance, and that year, Guangzhou's new landmark, Canton Tower, was also used to describe the tall and thin Talisker, who shone on the pitch.
Despite the team missing out on the title at the last minute in 2018, Guangzhou fans remain optimistic and expect Talisker to bring the glory of the title to the city and the team next season, just as the Canton Tower has illuminated both sides of the Pearl River since the day it was built.
Injuries befell the tall and thin Talisker in the 2019 season after a highlight reel early in the season via a free kick stoppage time shutout against Shandong Taishan, and fans' concerns about his fitness became a reality.
However, to the fans' surprise, after the lack of Talisker, Cannavaro discovered Wei Shihao, Yang Liyu, Zhong Yihao and Yan Dinghao's youthful storm in front of the field, and also led the team to win 13 consecutive victories, and had once overtaken Beijing in the league table.

and Shanghai seaports, becoming

Favorites to win the title.
Winning is not scary, 13 consecutive victories is not scary, but who is missing who is embarrassed, but the imagination of the fans is unstoppable, Guangzhou's "four little swans" in front of the field, plus Talisman, will be a major upgrade of the offensive line of the Guangzhou team?
Unfortunately, the waking of the dream came too soon. Talisker, who returned from injury, actually couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the team's attacking soccer, and the top foreigners were out of touch with the team, which epitomized Talisker's season. Although the end of the season he also delivered 16 goals data, also as expected to lead the team to win the
China Super League (soccer league)
Championship, but his goal-scoring efficiency has been far less than in the 2018 season, and he's no longer magical in the 2019 season, even dragging down his team's offensive efficiency at times.
One of the most intuitive than the feelings of the fans, in the case of the Guangzhou team can not open the situation, the radio sounded the replacement of Talisman, you can hear a lot of cheers in the TianSi, more Talisman embarrassed is that such a piercing "cheers" in the end of the 2019 season can be heard several times.
That's the way it is in competitive sports, a bad performance is a bad performance. Ultimately, it's pointless to talk about this and that. Players who play soccer have to be able to deal with losses. Soccer players are faced with winning and losing almost every day, and normal development builds resilience in their bones. So if you don't play well, don't say that it's useless. Keep practicing, and you'll get applause when you do well.
But Talisman does not feel "cheers" harsh, more in the subsequent successive performances for the fans "abandon the system to resume practicing back to Brazil to get married" "was forced to draw the night of Chongqing happy to go to Bali "" resumed practicing wife to participate in "" draw Kashima and happy vacation "" defeated Urawa smiling all the way to the west to play in Bali "" these in the social media The performance on social media even overshadowed his performance on the field of play.
Fans began to question its professional attitude, "water tower" "soft foot crab" and other names have undoubtedly revealed the anger of the fans, when a player is no longer for the city for the fans, doomed to be detested by the fans, favorites and outcasts but the difference between a line.
With all the controversy, Talisca came into the 2020 season with Guangzhou. That year, Cannavaro changed his style of play and pushed Talisca closer to the goal at center forward, but Talisca made 20 appearances throughout the season, scoring only seven goals and dishing out two assists.
Throughout the 2020 season, Talisca has done nothing but play against the Beijing
national security
The second leg of the duel had a highlight reel, and in the rest of the matches there was little to hide the fact that his regression was at a level that was visible to the naked eye, and in particular his free kicks were also down, a very direct reflection of the quality of his training. He has also been criticized for his negative attitude towards the game, his offensive inefficiency and his strolling defense.
Often the whole game to see down, Talisker gives the impression of either fouls or mistakes, or is constantly being broken, or arguing with the referee, lax gaze, after a mistake, show hands, after a long-distance shot, do not care to walk away from the look. Even in the key battle for the title with Jiangsu let rivals Luo Jing and Xie Pengfei made its "high evaluation": "I'm really glad that the team has Teixeira, Eder and Santini such a dedicated foreign aid, they fight for every ball, in front of the ball must be grabbed, this is a real team! ." Then two Jiangsu players to take Guangzhou foreign aid Talisca to give an example: "Look at people (Guangzhou) foreign aid basically do not return to the defense, may be due to their own state of depression it!" The key battle is not to fight not to fight for what to wait for?
At the end of the season Talisca was even more eye-to-eye with his parent team Besiktas, which intensified his relationship with Guangzhou fans, who cried out: we don't need a player with a bad professional attitude.
In 2021, stranded in Brazil, Talisca posted on social media "Looking forward to new challenges." But Talisker will not understand, a player without professional self-discipline, no matter how outstanding his personal ability, not by the fans to stay in the heart of the player, where he has no opportunity to wash away the previous brand of failure, the defeat of the army of the general talk about how to say courage!
At 21:50 on May 17, Riyadh Victory officially announced that Talisca completed his signing with the club and he signed a three-year contract with the team. So far, Talisca ended his three-year career in Guangzhou team, parting with 65 appearances, 39 goals + 13 assists he left to the Guangzhou team, a
China Super League (soccer league)
The league trophy, and the best three years of a player's life. As the title of the long parting reads, "To say goodbye is to age a little", so every time we part with a player, we also age a little.
But Talisca, you can't avoid leaving, but you do have a choice on how to leave. As the most common Guangzhou fans, what we need and support are the players who fight for the city of Guangzhou with sincerity. The old man is gone, but only the Guangzhou stands will continue to shout, and the songs you are familiar with will still resonate.
