In the seventh round of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Luneng hosted Cangzhou Lions. Many people expected Shandong Luneng to continue the slump from the beginning of the season, but unexpectedly, the team swept away the gloom and beat Cangzhou Lions with a score of 4:1, revitalizing the team and demonstrating the style of the Chinese Super League giants.
The victory of Shandong Luneng in this campaign could not be separated from the excellent play of an ace in front of the field, who is not Kazaishvili, nor Li Yuanyi, nor Jadason, but Fernando, an international player who has been strongly naturalized this season. Fernando's return is like a fresh breeze, injecting new vigor into the team. Since entering the new season, Fernando's competitive state has taken a qualitative leap. In the past, due to injuries, he could only play half of the game in this season, not only get more opportunities to play, and even sometimes can play the whole game. This fully proves that Fernando has been reborn. In this crucial battle, Fernando once again played a key role. In the 21st minute of the first half, Wang Dalei's precise long pass, Fernando's skillful cross, the new star Abdul Meat Sully broke the goal. Although Fernando failed to score himself, his key assist won the victory for the team. As the game progressed, Shandong Luneng continued to build on their success. In the second half, Liu Yang was fouled and fell to the ground, and Fernando stepped up to the penalty spot. With his excellent footwork and cool head, he easily scored the penalty to seal the win for Shandong Luneng. Fernando's performance in this game was perfect, a goal and an assist, which became the key to the team's victory. Fernando's outburst not only delighted Shandong Luneng coach Cui Kangxi, but also the national team's coach Ivankovic. Fernando's performance in the national team is also outstanding, his amazing performance in the World Cup qualifying matches made him become the "killer app" of the national football team. Now, Fernando's impressive performance in the Chinese Super League has made him a "killer app" for the national team, and he will be called up again for the World Cup qualifiers in June as long as he stays healthy. Facing the Thai men's soccer team, with such a "killer app" as Fernando, why can't the national soccer team get the final victory?
