In a key battle in the 19th round of the Chinese Super League on the evening of July 13, Beijing time, Shandong Taishan sat at home to face Qingdao Manatee, an opponent in the same province. In the second half of the game, there was a rather controversial scene. Delgado, a 27-year-old naturalized player, did not return to the bench after being substituted, but went straight back to the dressing room.

In this game, due to Cressan's suspension, Delgado finally got the chance to start. The last time Delgado started for Taishan was back in the 8th round against Chengdu Rongcheng on April 26 this year.

However, in the face of this hard-won opportunity to prove himself, Delgado did not perform well. He didn't have much of a chance up front with Kazaishvili and other homegrown players, and he seemed to be outside the Tarzan team's tactical system. According to statistics, Delgado only had one shot blocked in this campaign, and he only scored 6.8 points with 30 touches and one key pass in the game.

When the deadlock could not be broken, coach Choi Kang-hee replaced Delgado with Chen Pu in the 64th minute. Surprisingly, Delgado did not sit back on the bench, but walked back to the dressing room without looking back and huffing.

So what caused Delgado to leave the game angrily?According to the reporter of Taishan team, it is likely that it was because of the unfriendly treatment of his own fans at the scene. In the game, because of a passing error, he sent the opponent to play a threatening counterattack, which also caused dissatisfaction among the fans at the scene, and some fans shouted "Don't kick out".

So far this season, Delgado has made 17 appearances, started two times, and contributed four goals. Although this data is acceptable for local players, as a player who occupies the team's foreign aid quota, Delgado's performance is obviously not enough to satisfy Taishan fans. Delgado's temper tantrum was also revealed again, and there were indeed too many problems within the Tarzan team.
