The influence of the Chinese Super League has declined in recent years, but there are still many players who have moved from China to the top European leagues. Now, another foreign player who was once unknown in China is about to be spotted by Serie A powerhouse Genoa and is expected to directly land in the top five European leagues. He once made controversial "insulting actions" in the Chinese Super League and was not kept in the team by Chengdu Rongcheng afterwards, but now he has become the pride of the Chinese Super League!

This is Saldanha, the Brazilian striker who was loaned to the team by Chengdu Rongcheng in August 2022. Because he looks like Brazilian international Firmino, he is called "Little Firmino" by everyone. He played 19 games for Chengdu Rongcheng in the Chinese Super League, contributed 3 goals and 4 assists, and created 7 goals by himself, but after the end of the season, he was still abandoned by the team!

A more well-known incident was his juggling moves on the field. He had stepped on the ball and looked into the distance many times during the game, which was regarded as an "insulting move" by opponents and fans on the field. This also caused great criticism and questioning, but Saldaña obviously did not think it was an insulting move, although the fans of his team also hoped that he would not make similar moves again!
