Suddenly! Zeca suffered an accidental injury at the training ground, details of the injury are a mystery, it is known that he has returned to Brazil and is waiting for a detailed examination to determine the treatment plan. Undoubtedly, Zeca will miss the upcoming AFC Champions League elimination match with Kawasaki Frontale. With the elimination of the war approaching, Taishan team in the search for foreign aid on the difficult, so decisive decision to recall in Portugal Delgado, just in case.
According to the German Transfer Market, Taishan have extended Delgado's contract by one year, with the deal set to take effect from 2024. From then on, Delgado will be registered as a homegrown player in the domestic league and will no longer occupy the foreigner quota. According to China's Football Association, domestic clubs can only have one non-blood naturalized player present, in other words, if Delgado and Fernando start at the same time, one of them will be counted as a foreigner. The current analysis is that Delgado is likely to return during this period to fill Zeca's AFC Champions League vacancy.
In the Chinese Super League, both Fernando and Delgado can be registered as domestic players. As for who will play, it remains to be seen how they actually perform in training and matches. Delgado's return has undoubtedly stimulated healthy competition, and the duel between the two has become a point of interest. This also avoids the embarrassment of Fernando's "passive response" last season, as they know that their positions are not secure and that they are at risk of being replaced if their form slips.
