Due to the serious financial problems of the Guangzhou team, a number of naturalized players have negotiated with the club to terminate their contracts, and Axon, Alain, Gaulat and others have also set off to return to their hometown in Brazil. According to domestic media, Axon said in an interview with the media at the airport that he will still play for the national football team, which also means that he will not give up his Chinese citizenship when he returns to China this time.
Previously, it was pointed out that after Axon, Alan and other players left Guangzhou, due to the huge salary can not be guaranteed, they will completely bid farewell to the Chinese Super League, and the possibility of continuing to play for the Chinese national football team in the future is very small, and the possibility of withdrawing from China is not ruled out. But this time Axon's clarification still hit back at these doubts.
It is understood that Axon said in an interview: "As long as the Chinese team needs me, I will definitely come back." It also means that he will not choose to withdraw from the country, but will continue to retain his status as a Chinese player.
For Axon, the impetus that prompted him to join The Chinese was actually a four-year contract with an annual salary of up to 10 million euros. However, according to the current situation of the Guangzhou team, it is impossible to continue to execute the contract, so it is full of calculations, and Axon has only been paid a high salary in Guangzhou for only two years.
If you choose to return to Brazil to play now, For Axon, Chinese nationality is not a favorable factor, because the Brazilian Football Association stipulates that each team can only have five foreign players per game, that is to say, Axon, who has no Brazilian nationality, is counted as a foreign aid in the Brazilian First Division.
There is no money to take, and even for the future development of the cause is not good, but Axon still has no hesitation to retain the Chinese nationality, which can not but be admired. In this regard, the fan comments are also a piece of praise, some fans said bluntly: "Just rush this sentence, and never black Axon in the future!" "This is a good player with feelings and righteousness."
Some fans also expressed their blessings for Axon's future: "Retaining Chinese nationality and going abroad to be a foreign player is a hundred times better than staying in the bad place of the Chinese Super League." "Hopefully, Axon will still be around at the 2023 Asian Cup."
