On the day of the resumption of the Chinese Super League, another naturalized player left Guangzhou. Even when some Guangzhou media reported on the news of Axon's return to Brazil, they deliberately added the word "temporarily"! But this time, when Axon took all his luggage and dragged his family away from China, perhaps this time the wave was goodbye.
As for the reason for leaving, in an interview at the airport, Axon said: "I made this decision with my family and the Guangzhou club, and I hope to use this time to accompany my family in Brazil, because I have not met for two years, I hope you can understand my decision." And when he left, he thanked Evergrande, thanked SIPG, thanked the fans for their support and love, and in the face of the camera and said goodbye to Chinese fans on his personal social platform, he repeatedly stressed that he was a Chinese, as long as the national team was called up, he would definitely come back.
Watching Axon's statement, many fans felt their blood boiling. There are many expressions on the Internet such as "Axon has feelings and righteousness" and "naturalized sense of honor is stronger than that of local players". However, for Axon's statement, there is no need for all parties to be too truthful!
Getting a high salary and being naturalized is an affirmation of Axon's ability; and a Brazilian can stay in China for 9 years, and the media relationship with many perennial Evergrande is even better than that of many domestic players and media, which shows that Axon's emotional intelligence is very high. When Gaulat can say through the translation before leaving, the future will have the opportunity to represent the national football team beautiful words, Axon, who has a higher emotional intelligence than him, before leaving, is facing the Chinese media camera to bid farewell to Chinese fans, will he not say some scene words (not to mention that Axon will not Chinese, what he says, the content of the message, the translation can also give him a little polish on the "rhetoric")?
Looking back at Axon's 9 years in China, it can be said that he left his best form to Chinese football. Most Chinese fans also watched step by step as he watched from the time he first arrived, faster than the peak Muric, can pick 1 2, 1 pick 3 all-round center forwards who can do everything in the front court, and slowly become a "pie-eating strategy" striker! Therefore, even if Axon still has the self-confidence of Brazilians in his bones, he still has the brain and technology of Brazilians, but his body and game rhythm and individual ability have been completely assimilated by Chinese football.
In a strong team like Evergrande and SIPG, he has the opportunity to eat cake, so he can maintain a good goal production. However, the level of the Chinese team is limited, and the biggest problem with Chinese players is the lack of ability to create opportunities. When the Chinese team operates naturalization at the tactical level, which is to rely on the personal ability of naturalized players to open the gap, Luo Guofu's 1-on-1, Alain's take of the ball to get rid of at least makes the outside world feel bright. But Axon, whose individual ability has long been assimilated by Chinese football, is obviously not the type that takes the lead in charging on the field, so not only did Li Tie not use him well, but Lippi did not know how to use him well in the round of 40...
And Axon is just a microcosm of China's football naturalization project – it cost a huge amount of money, and the effect is far from meeting expectations. With the national football team on the verge of being out of the round of 12, and these naturalizations have left China one after another, it also marks that the naturalization project has ended in Chinese football. No matter how they are packaged, these naturalizations were originally willing to join chinese nationality, which was entirely for the sake of money. Since they could have "betrayed" their homeland for the sake of profit two years ago (the motherland of the Axons must be Brazil, not China), now China does not give money, even if it is not explicitly said to renounce Chinese nationality, but foreigners living, working, living in Brazil are very troublesome, and Brazilians will not have such trouble; so as long as Axon, Gaulat, these naturalized players, decide to return to Brazil to play football, long-term in Brazil, even if they do not consider that in Brazil will be counted as foreign aid and other factors, Considering only the convenience of life, it is probably only a matter of time before they apply for the restoration of Brazilian citizenship.
Axon returned to Brazil at this time, in fact, it is more similar to the situation of many north drifters back to their hometowns, since they earn much more outside (the Chinese Super League) than in their hometown (Brazil), then what is the need to float outside? According to Our law, once Axon decides to restore his Brazilian citizenship, it means that his Chinese identity is not legal (he plays in Brazil, whether it is registered as a Chinese player or a Brazilian local player, the relevant websites of the Brazilian Football Association and the Brazilian League will be publicized, there is no room to drill), at this time, returning to Brazil with all his belongings basically marks the end between him and China.
