Fans' hearts are hanging in their throats, after all, Fernando's injury touches more people's hearts than the loss. Taishan team to win on the road, Fernando is undoubtedly the solid backing of Cui Kangxi, however, from Fernando's expression and teammates' reaction, his injury seems to be not optimistic. After the game, rumors of Fernando's season being over surfaced on the internet, but what is the truth? The authoritative media and head coach Choi Kang-hee gave the answer!
Recently, authoritative media outlet Taishan Evening News reported that Fernando's injury is actually not serious, he was only toppled by his opponent, which was indeed very painful at that time. Post-match examination results showed that his injury does not affect the second round match against Kawasaki Frontale. Head Coach Choi Kang-hee also confirmed that Fernando suffered a serious injury but it is not serious. The suspense about Fernando's season-ending injury has been revealed and the internet rumors have been dispelled. I believe fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
Expect Fernando to continue his excellent performance from the previous match and help Taishan attack and beat Kawasaki Striker in the upcoming second round match. According to the rules of the AFC Champions League, the away goal rule has been abolished, so even if Taishan loses 2-3 at home, there is no need to worry too much. As long as they get more than one win in the second leg, Taishan is expected to succeed in advancing. Even if they only win by a narrow margin, there will still be a penalty shootout between the two sides, and Taishan will still have a chance to advance. We hope that Taishan will not be discouraged and will persevere to the end, and victory will be just around the corner!
