team record. He exclaimed, "Never in my career have I had such numbers in China. Thanks to my teammates, team and coaches, such an achievement could not have been achieved by me alone."
Up to now, Cressan has scored 14 goals and is ranked second in the Chinese Super League Top Scorers list. Talking about scoring goals, he emphasized, "The team's victory is the most important thing, my personal goals are not so important. If I score 3 goals and the team doesn't win, I'd rather not score a single goal but the team wins. Of course, I could have scored 3, 4 or even 5 goals a game, but the most important thing is to win the game."
In addition to scoring goals, Cressan contributed four assists, tied for second on the team with Son Jungho. Talking about the assists, he said, "If I find someone who has a better chance than me, I will pass the ball. Hopefully, by the end of the season, I'll have more goals and assists."
Speaking about working with Moises, Kressan praised, "He is a great player, we speak the same language and know each other very well. He knows what position I will be in and we work well together. It helps me a lot to have him out there and I hope he stays at the club for a few more years, it will help me a lot."
In Portugal, Cressan played more as a winger, and after coming to Shandong, he transformed into a center forward. Talking about this transformation, he said, "In the past, I had more assists and less goals, but now I'm closer to the goal and can score more goals. No matter what, it is most important to help the team, no matter what position I play, I will do my best to do my best."
In Portugal, Cressan had the nickname "Big Rain", and after coming to Shandong, he gained the nickname "Thor". He said: "Fans sent me a picture of the God of Thunder, put my face P up, it's very interesting."
Speaking about the team's low point in the current year, Cressan said, "Football is like that, sometimes you give 100% but the result is not always what you want. For example, in the match against Guoan, we should have won, but it ended up being a draw. It doesn't matter, the important thing is to show hustle, fight until the last minute and then win the games behind us."
Talking about the iconic celebration, Cressan said, "It's dedicated to my wife and kids. Next year the plan is to bring my family over, they will help me more when they come."
Talking about the city of Jinan, Cressan said, "Jinan is beautiful, very beautiful. It would be better if the family was there."
