Shandong Taishan team faced Manatee at home in this round of the Chinese Super League. Team coach Cui Kangxi arranged for Delgado to start when Cresan was unable to play. Delgado started at center, which many fans are looking forward to. Because some fans believe that Delgado is very capable and can change the situation of the battle in an instant. After all, Delgado was selected for the Portuguese National Youth Team before he was naturalized, and also had starting experience in the Portuguese Super League. Therefore, it is reasonable for fans to have high hopes for Delgado.
However, Delgado did not cherish the hard-won starting opportunity. He had a mediocre game and made insouciant mistakes on defense. Delgado's mistake directly gave the Manatees a chance to counterattack. At the same time, the Shandong fans watching the game at home could not stand it. Shandong fans shouted on the spot that Delgado didn't want to play and should get out of here. Shandong fans believed that Delgado's performance in this game disappointed them. Not only did Delgado not have a game-turning performance, but he also took walks and eyeballs on defense. Shandong fans couldn't bear it anymore and began to scold Delgado, hoping that he would pack up and leave the team as soon as possible.
Delgado has played in Chinese football for many years and should be able to understand what Shandong fans say. Therefore, Cui Kangxi was very angry after he replaced Delgado in the 63rd minute of the game. Delgado went straight back to the locker room to express his dissatisfaction. In this regard, Shandong fans commented that Delgado has a bad temper. Indeed, Delgado started the game on behalf of Luneng in this game, but his performance was not as good as that of local players.
Delgado played so poorly that if he was scolded by the fans at the scene, he would have to bear it silently. The most important thing is that the fans are not scolding the naturalized player because of his poor performance. Mainly because Delgado was too lazy on the defensive end, which directly gave Manatee a chance to counterattack. Under such circumstances, Delgado shamed the fans and Cui Kangxi and returned directly to the Taishan team's locker room, which was a public show of celebrity. Shandong fans believe that if Delgado no longer wants to play, he can directly apply to leave the team. Fernando had already offered to leave the team before. However, Fernando is the main force of the national football team. After he left the Taishan team, he was immediately poached by the Chinese Super League giant Shenhua.
Delgado's performance in Luneng was mediocre, and there was no club wanting him after he left the team. It is worth noting that according to the German Transfer Market Network, Delgado’s contract with Luneng expires at the end of this year. According to Delgado's poor performance in the Taishan team, he will definitely not be able to stay in the team and renew his contract. In the future, Delgado needs to be prepared to leave the team in advance. Perhaps he should consider playing for a Chinese League One team.
