Fans have given two major guesses as to why Delgado ended up with Kunshan in the Central League rather than in the Chinese Super League. First of all, the Kunshan team is as thirsty for Delgado as a thirsty desert is for a sweet spring, and their sincerity stands out among the many suitors. The Kunshan team has been doing very well in this season's Central League, and is on the verge of overtaking the competition. As long as they play solidly in the coming matches, Kunshan's ambition to reach the Super League is almost within reach. In order to ensure the team's steady progress towards the Super League, the Kunshan team showed unprecedented enthusiasm and sincerity towards Delgado, which made Delgado unexpectedly choose to join the team.
Secondly, Delgado's joining may also have something to do with Cui Peng's matchmaking. Cui Peng played for Kunshan for several seasons, and as the team's main player, he made great achievements. As he got older, Cui Peng chose to retire and return to Luneng as the right-hand man of head coach Hao Wei. Considering Cui Peng's past with Kunshan, it is likely that Delgado's loan move from Luneng to Kunshan was highly recommended by him. We expect Delgado to perform at his level in Kunshan and become a stalwart of the team to help them realize their dream of reaching the Super League.
