The big stone in the fans' minds is not Fernando's injury. Taishan team is seeking to win on the road, Fernando is undoubtedly Choi Kang-hee's bottom card. However, Fernando's expression and teammates' concern revealed that his injury is not optimistic. As the tournament comes to an end, speculations on the internet are rife. Is the rumor that Fernando is out for the season true? Authoritative media and manager Choi Kang-hee revealed the answer!
According to Taishan Evening News, Fernando's injury is actually not serious. Although he had suffered from a headbutt against his opponent and felt a sharp pain, the post-match examination results showed that the injury was minor and would not affect the second-round showdown with Kawasaki Frontale. Head Coach Choi Kang-hee also emphasized that Fernando's injury, though serious, is not serious. The dust has settled on the doubts about the season reimbursement, and the rumors on the internet have been put to rest. Fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
In the upcoming second leg, Fernando is expected to continue his excellent performance from the first leg and help Taishan overcome the difficulties and defeat their rivals, Kawasaki Frontale. Given that the AFC Champions League rules eliminate the away goal advantage, there is no need for Taishan to be discouraged even if they lose 2-3 in the first leg. As long as they win by a single goal in the second round, Taishan is still expected to succeed in advancing. Even if the scores are still tied and the teams go to a penalty shootout, Taishan will still have hopes of advancing. May Taishan keep their fighting spirit and persevere to the end, and victory is just around the corner!
