"I thank the fans for their love. From the first day I came here, they showed great enthusiasm. They deserve this champion, our team and our city deserve this champion. " On the night of winning the championship, Pellet said this in an interview with the media. Yao Zheng said that Pellet's words may become the parting words of the Italians.
2065438+July 2006, Shandong Luneng officially announced that Italian striker Pellet, who had previously played for Southampton in the Premier League, officially joined the team. The Italian international, who will be 3 1 year-old, has become the most valuable foreign aid in the history of Luneng team. Even Belgian midfielder Fellaini, who later moved from Manchester United, failed to surpass this record.
Facts have proved that the management of the team spent a lot of money to introduce Pellet, which was an extremely successful operation. When Pellet joined the team, Luneng Taishan was at a low ebb and the team was fighting for relegation. After Pellet arrived, he quickly showed his value. He can not only attack the city with excellent personal ability, but also give full play to the role of tactical fulcrum to provide support for his teammates. In the first half of the season, Pellet played 13 games and scored 5 goals to help Luneng avoid relegation. In the following days, with the continuous improvement of tacit understanding with teammates, Pellet's power on the offensive end gradually appeared, and Luneng fans also gave him a resounding nickname "Italian cannon". During Luneng's four years, Pellet played 134 games for the team and contributed 62 goals and assists for more than 20 times, becoming the foreign aid with the most goals in Luneng's history. His contribution is completely worthy of the expensive transfer fee.
It is worth mentioning that after Pellet entered Luneng, the Super League set off a "center fever". After seeing the practicality of Pellet, each team followed Luneng's example and began to introduce foreign aid from high centers-Wagner, Longdong, Malkin De, Jin Xinyu and other "experts" set foot in the Super League one after another. In this way, Pellet is indeed a "pioneer".
In the 2020 season, Pellet's goal efficiency decreased. Perhaps because of concerns about injuries, Pellet played relatively conservatively on the court. After Hao Wei took office, the team focused on the future, trying to establish Gerdes as the core of attack and making efforts to prepare for the "post-Pellet era". However, Pellet still contributed eight goals and became the second striker in the team after Gajdys. Also in this season, Pellet completed Luneng's career 100 performance-in that game, Pellet made meritorious service and helped the team get all 3 points.
Knife-like facial features, exquisite hairstyle, bodybuilder-like perfect figure and extraordinary dress taste ... Paley, a male model appearing in fashion magazines outside the stadium, is regarded as an "idol star" by many fans. During his years in Luneng, he also played an important role in the team as an idol of young players.
Pellet not only has excellent skills, but also deserves praise for his professional attitude. As long as he appears on the court, he will try his best to win every goal on the offensive end and defend at the same time. From Magat to Li, and now Hao Wei, who is in charge of Luneng Shuaiyin, all praised his skills and personality. In May 19, 17, Luneng defeated Shenhua in the Super League 10 round. At the press conference after the game, Li made this comment on Pellet: "He is an example for the players. When he is on the court, everyone trusts him-this is his vital role. "
Pellet set an example for Luneng's young people with her all-out attitude and high self-discipline and professionalism. He is also happy to help the young people in the team grow up. 2065438+On April 28th, 2009, during Luneng's home game against Zall, Pellet, who was in a hot state, staged his first hat trick after joining Luneng. After scoring the third goal, Pellet surprised many people. He rushed to Zhao Jianfei, who sent the assists for himself, to "shine shoes" for the boy born in 1999. Zhao Jianfei smiled happily and gave his brother a hug.
Tianyu Guo, a budding teenager this season, also regards Pellet as an idol. When interviewed by the media before, Xiaoguo modestly said that it was impossible to surpass Pellet: "I need to improve step by step and improve my ability in all aspects. There are such good idols and standards here, so try to rush to him. "
Earlier, Pellet said in an interview with the media that he hoped he could help Luneng win the championship. In the curtain call of Luneng's career, Pellet fulfilled his promise.
