On June 16, as China's national soccer team defeated Syria in a fierce battle and successfully advanced to the Round of 12, Shandong Luneng's meritorious player Fellaini also took to social media platforms to express his sentiments and congratulate the national football team on its advancement. In Fellaini's third year of playing in China, he has earned the respect of all Luneng fans with his dedication and outstanding performance. He is not only the captain of the team on the field, but also the spiritual pillar in the hearts of players and fans. While sending his blessing to the national football team, Fellaini also became the first foreigner to play in China and send his blessing to the national team.
Fellaini's blessing has certainly won him more hardcore fans. This outstanding foreign aid not only impressed Luneng fans, but also brought a hint of regret - he can't speak Shandong. It is expected that in the next four years, Fellaini will renew his contract with Luneng and not only learn Shandong dialect, but also fall in love with Shandong cuisine, such as pancakes.
In the first phase of the game, Shandong Taishan team led the way with a winning record, and Fellaini's contribution to the team is immeasurable. Fellaini, who can play both as a center forward and a defender, has become an indispensable player for Taishan. His ball skills and emotional intelligence may just be the key to his success in the Chinese Super League. In the future, when Fellaini chooses to retire from Taishan, he may stay with the team as an assistant coach. If he can develop a few potential wingers, he will surely be remembered by all Luneng fans forever.
