Romulo has been crowned Chengdu Hibiscus Footballer of the Year 2022, and deservedly so. The Chinese Super League's Mr. Football crown is being contested by three of the best, with Shandong Taishan's stalwart expected to win the title!
The centerpiece that every team can rely on is none other than Romulo for Chengdu Rongcheng. Romulo was a key player in Chengdu Rongcheng's successful promotion. 2022 season, Romulo appeared in 32 games for the team, of which 30 were starts and 2 were substitutes, an amazing attendance rate. With a high attendance rate, Romulo's performance was also outstanding. As the team's midfield brain, Romulo delivered 12 goals and 6 assists. Almost all of Romulo's goals have been spectacular, and Shandong Taishan's Li Guanxi may be out of reach. So who is the real king of the Chinese Super League?
After Wuhan Three Town was promoted, three powerful foreigners were brought in, including the king of the tender, Stanciu, and Brazilian Davidson and Wallace. Stanciu deserves the name of the champion and perfectly supports Wuhan Sanzhen's midfield. However, the biggest hero of Wuhan Three Town is the winger Davidson. Davidson made 33 appearances this season, contributing 18 goals and 13 assists. He is a breath of fresh air after the salary limit in the Chinese Super League, actively defending on the field and attacking properly. Many times with tenacious fighting spirit to turn the game. Davidson's style of play is tough, only three yellow cards in a season. If Davidson is the best of the season, no one can be better.
Zhang Yuning of Beijing Guoan carries the team's offensive banner, given the numerous foreigners the team has brought in. Zhang Yuning performed well a few seasons ago, but was often absent due to minor injuries and his attendance was not high. 2022 season, Zhang Yuning played 30 games and scored 19 goals, not only ranked third in the scorer's list, but was also the king of the local scorers, winning the award for the second consecutive year. Under the new coach's tutelage, Zhang Yuning will surely become the first choice of center forward for the national team. If Zhang Yuning is awarded the Player of the Season, it may be controversial, but it will surely win the support of many fans.
If Romulo is the pillar of Chengdu Rongcheng and Zhang Yuning is the pillar of Beijing Guoan, then the absolute leaders of Shandong Taishan in the 2022 season are striker Cressan and midfielder Moises. Cressan is the second highest scorer with 26 goals, while the 34 year old Moises is even better in terms of team contribution and season performance.
Before the season, some fans questioned the 34-year-old Moises' declining form and should consider a move. However, Moises had a great season in 2022 and was known as the "Desperate Saburo". He doesn't give up on any opportunity, and even when he is injured, he keeps on fighting and doesn't back down. In 31 appearances, Moises scored 13 goals and 16 assists. His average of key passes, chances created and appearances ranked first in the team and first in the Chinese Super League.
Without Moises, Shandong Taishan will not be able to compete with Wuhan Sanzhen in the league. In the FA Cup final, Shandong Taishan was expected to win the championship, and Moises was also the top contributor, with both goals closely related to his play. Moises' contract was successfully renewed due to his outstanding performance. In terms of his performance and contribution to the team throughout the season, Moises deserves to be the best player in the Chinese Super League. How do you feel about it?
