In the latest edition of the CSL (China League Soccer) tournament, FC Chengdu FC made history by securing their first ever title with a 2-1 victory over Guangzhou Evergrande FC at the home stadium of Xueyuan Stadium.
The match was a testament to Faliaini's adaptation to the new position he took up after being selected as the team's captain during the Chinese Super League season. Faliaini had been playing as a defender for several years but had not played as a striker before joining FC Chengdu FC.
Despite his lack of experience, Faliaini quickly adapted to the demands of the new role and became one of the standout players on the pitch. He scored two goals in the game, which helped FC Chengdu FC secure their first ever title.
It is worth noting that Faliaini's success has come despite the challenges he faced during his time in China. Despite being cut loose from the club in 2018, Faliaini continued to work hard and improve his skills. He also received recognition for his performances during the Chinese Super League season, including receiving the Golden Boot award.
Overall, FC Chengdu FC's victory in the CSL tournament was a significant achievement for the club and its fans. It showed that even in the toughest of circumstances, perseverance and determination can lead to success.
