A well-known name in São Paulo football after his spells in Santos, Palmeiras and São Paulo, Alan Kardec started the year on the right foot. This Saturday, the center forward scored the goal of Shenzhen FC’s victory over Hebei Fortune by 1-0, in the penultimate round of the Chinese Superleague.
He hit the net in a penalty kick. Kardec’s numbers in Chinese football are good. It was the 12th time that the Brazilian scored the net this season in 19 matches played.
And Hebei has become Kardec’s main recent victim. Shenzhen’s last victory had been, precisely, against today’s opponent, on the 19th, by 3-1, with two goals from the Brazilian. In today’s match, the forward scored, with a penalty, at 11 minutes of the second half, the goal that guaranteed the three points to the team.
“I’m happy to be able to start the year off on the right foot, scoring a goal and helping the team to conquer the three points. We are reaching the end of our participation in the Superliga, in another atypical season, and I think I was able to play a good role here in Shenzhen, scoring goals and giving assists. Now it’s time to think about the next opponent to end this season with another victory”, he stated.
Shenzhen ends its season next Tuesday (01/04), at 4:30 am (Eastern time), facing Beijing Guoan.
