Chengdu Rongcheng team recently reused Hu Hetao, a decision that caused heated discussions among fans. Hu Hetao showed extraordinary potential when he first showed his edge, which was greatly appreciated by coach Xu Zhengyuan. Xu Zhengyuan boldly promoted Hu Hetao to the first team, changing the trajectory of his career.
Hu Hetao revealed in an interview that if it weren't for Xu Zhengyuan's promotion, he might have given up his football dream and focused on his studies. Xu Zhengyuan dared to take risks and let Hu Hetao serve as the main force as soon as he entered the first team. It turns out that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Hu was outstanding in the game, and whenever the team got into a stalemate on the wing, he always stepped up and became the key man.
Hu Hetao also skipped into the 01 National Olympic team. However, in the long-term training camp of the National Olympic team, Hu Hetao's form declined sharply, and he was reduced to a substitute after returning to Chengdu Rongcheng.
Thankfully, Xu hasn't given up on the potential star and has given him another chance this season. In the absence of the main right-back Tang Miao injured, Hu Hetao returned to the main team and contributed excellent passing statistics in the game.
In the match against the Cangzhou Lions, Hu Hetao scored a crucial goal, marking his resurgence in the Chinese Super League. If he can maintain this form, he may be knocking on the door of the national football team for the first time.
As a newcomer to the Chinese Super League, Chengdu Rongcheng has performed strongly since being promoted to the Chinese Super League, ranking fifth in the league in the 2022 season, jumping to fourth place last season and third place this season. Despite the impressive results, the club are still planning to strengthen in the summer transfer window, and there is no shortage of rumours about big-name foreign players, such as former Guangzhou Evergrande's meritorious foreign player Paulinho.
However, it is more important to retain the current main players than to bring in reinforcements, and Brazilian high school striker Felipe is one of them.
Felipe joined Chengdu Rongcheng in the summer of 2021, which was still in the Chinese league at the time, and the club paid a transfer fee of 1.5 million euros for the 1.93-meter-tall Brazilian striker. Felipe quickly integrated into the team and scored a crucial goal in the promotion knockout round to help Chengdu Rongcheng successfully promote to the Super League.
In the 2022 season, Felipe played in 21 rounds of the Chinese Super League, scoring seven goals and contributing four assists. Last season, he scored 13 goals and provided eight assists in 26 league games, helping the team finish fourth in the league.
Felipe has been on a hot streak this season, scoring 10 goals and providing four assists in the halfway season. Such an outstanding performance made the club decide to renew his contract as soon as possible to avoid being poached by other teams.
At the end of June, Chengdu Rongcheng FC announced that it had completed the renewal of Felipe's contract, offering him a new two-year contract. Felipe will remain with the team until the age of 34 and is expected to retire in Chengdu for the rest of his life. After the contract extension, the club plans to continue to strengthen the attacking line up front.
According to a number of domestic sports media, they are interested in signing Fernando, a popular naturalized international player of Shandong Taishan team. Fernando's contract with Taishan expires at the end of the year, and the two parties have not yet renewed their contract.
It is worth noting that Fernando did not participate in Shandong Taishan's away match against Beijing Guoan, nor did he participate in pre-match training, but returned to Jinan ahead of schedule. There are all kinds of indications that Fernando is ready to leave Shandong Taishan and may join Chengdu Rongcheng as a free agent next season.
Fernando played for Chongqing Contemporary Lifan in the first time of overtime, and was known for his fast speed and strong breakthrough ability, and was known as the "little motorcycle". Later, he was poached by Guangzhou Evergrande and became a naturalized player. If he can return to Sichuan, for Fernando, it can be regarded as a return to his roots.
In short, Chengdu Rongcheng performed well in the new season, and the rise of the team's new star Hu Hetao and the renewal of Felipe's contract laid a solid foundation for the team's future. If Fernando can join as scheduled, the team's attacking power in the front court will be further improved. It is hoped that with the help of this new force, Chengdu Rongcheng can realize the dream of the Chinese Super League championship as soon as possible.
