Naturally, Delgado could not get any leniency when faced with a head-to-head match with Choi Kang-hee. Thus, we witnessed his benching in the last two tournaments.
Fans have come up with ideas and urged Delgado to adjust his on-field style. After all, it's a huge challenge for him to start for a Central League team with a weak sense of defense. This predicament was first revealed when Delgado was on loan to Suzhou Dongwu in the Central League last season.
Delgado's defensive shortcomings have gradually marginalized him during Suzhou Dongwu's journey in the Chinese League. This "lazy" style of play was not enough to get a foothold in the first division, let alone the more competitive Chinese Super League. In order to escape Choi Kang-hee's cold shoulder, Delgado will have to make a fresh start in the next round of CSL matches, seizing every opportunity to play and showing his strength in both offense and defense in order to secure his place in the team.
