Born in 1996, Gedes joined Taishan in July 2018, making nine appearances in his first season, scoring two goals and contributing one assist. First time in the Chinese Super League, Gedes was full of confidence, but did not quickly occupy a starting position in the team competition.2019 season, did not get the AFC Champions League registration qualification Gedes focused on the Chinese Super League, made 21 appearances, scored 12 goals, and delivered 4 assists, the overall data significantly improved.
Geddes' individual ability is unquestionable, especially his shooting skills, he is gifted and is an important option for Taishan's offensive end. However, the youthful Geddes also has his own shortcomings, that is, emotion management. To a certain extent, his inability to get consistent playing time is related to his character, especially in contrast to Fellaini, Pelle and Moises.
In the 2020 season, Guedes failed to return to China earlier due to flights and other factors, and only arrived in Shanghai in a hurry before the start of the Chinese Super League (CSL), missing most of the matches in the first phase of the CSL. It was not until the September match against Shenhua that Gedes made his season debut, which was a loss for the Taishan team.In the 2020 season, Gedes' overall performance was excellent, scoring 6 goals in the league and 6 goals in the AFC Cup, which was a contributor to the Taishan team's winning of the championship. In Hao Wei's tactical system, Gedes plays an important role, and Hao Wei has a lot of trust in him.
However, the 2021 season Gedes once again faced the problem of returning to the team, Brazilian foreign aid entry difficulties is the objective reality, Taishan team has been trying to facilitate the return of Gedes and Moises, and ultimately Moises insisted on waiting for the formalities to be completed in Serbia, while Gedes was unable to wait until the last minute, he chose to return to Brazil in advance, and this also blocked the road back to China. In this case, the Brazilian media repeatedly broke the news that Gerdes seeks to terminate his contract, which has gone through a long negotiation process, Taishan team also want to defend their rights and interests.
Affected by the epidemic, Geddes' inability to return to the team is a huge loss, and Taishan has been releasing his salary and expects him to return.

It is reported that the Taishan team obtained the corresponding termination of the contract, Gedes' contract still has one year left, the Taishan team does not need to pay any salary, saving the salary space for the future attraction is more favorable.
Taishan officials thanked Gedes for his three years of dedication, with a truly outstanding 53-game tally of 27 goals and 9 assists, and for winning the AFC Cup with the team. Now, Taishan has a full lineup of five foreigners, and with Moises having returned for the championship stage of the competition, he and Fellaini, Sun Junho, Jadason, and Delgado will all be able to play, and Taishan will be going all out for a good result.
