As we all know, after Chinese football opened naturalized players, many fans' expectations for the national football team were much higher than before. At that time, everyone believed that although the national football team was facing a talent gap, after we had naturalized players, the talent shortage could be quickly filled, and even individual positions could be much stronger than before. In fact, it is equivalent to the best domestic player + foreign aid form, everyone has seen that Guangzhou Evergrande once won the AFC Champions League championship twice with the lineup of national + super foreign aid. So many fans think that the national team can actually do it. Therefore, many fans expect the national football team to successfully re-enter the World Cup.
But the reality is so harsh. The national football team with naturalized players has played 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses in the first 6 games of the round of 12, and has basically failed to qualify from the group. At present, the entry of naturalized players has not made any breakthrough in the results of the national football team, and even added a lot of troubles. With the economic crisis in the Chinese Super League, many naturalized players no longer participate in the Chinese Super League and return to Brazil. This means that their participation in the next World Cup is still a problem. So for now, our naturalization results in the past two years have failed. Spent so much money and didn't get any improvement.
Of course, there are many objective reasons for naturalization today, such as too few good players to choose from blood naturalization, and most of them are not very competitive. Non-blood naturalization has to play in the Chinese league for 5 consecutive years, so the foreign aid that meets the conditions is basically 30+, they are no longer their peak themselves, and even the decline is not a star and a half. For example, Axon and Luo Guofu, although they still have a certain strength at present, their status is only between availability and unavailability, and their play cannot help the national football team achieve a breakthrough in performance. So now naturalization gives us the feeling that the money is not spent less, the efficacy is not achieved, and it may go bankrupt in the future.
However, sober fans know that naturalization is actually conducive to the improvement of the overall level of national football. It's just that future naturalization should have a plan and a purpose, rather than naturalizing who is qualified, which wastes too much energy and financial resources. So future naturalization will be young and targeted. For example, recently there was a very qualified foreign aid. He is the 22-year-old Cangzhou lion foreign aid Oscar.
Oscar is young, but this is his fourth season in China. As early as the 2018 season, the 19-year-old Oscar came to Yanbian in the Chinese First Division, and that season he made 15 starts in 15 games in Yanbian and scored 10 goals. And his goals were also wonderful, with single-handed dragon passes, long-range world waves, and wonderful barbs, and he gave us the feeling of talent at that time. Later, Yanbian disbanded him to join the Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic Team in the Chinese League A, and as a result, he played 26 games that season, including 25 starts, scored 22 goals, and won the Golden Boot of the Chinese League One. So young, so efficient in scoring goals, many people think that this Congolese guy is a genius. And I hope that he can become a naturalized player, play for the national football team, and solve the weakness of the national football team. Because when he qualified for naturalization, he was only 24 years old, which is a golden age, and his age can help the national football team play at least 2 World Cups. Naturalizing him is still worth it.
However, perhaps because he was too young, after his transfer to the Cangzhou Lions last season, as the king of the Chinese First Division, he suddenly muted in the Chinese Super League, and after several consecutive games without scoring goals, he lost confidence, and he scored only 2 goals in 10 of the 10 games he played for the team, becoming a weak link in the team's front. In the first stage of the season, Oscar was also in poor form and did not score goals, which can be seen that he has not yet adapted to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League. But in the previously concluded FA Cup, Oscar found the feeling of a killer, and he staged the senior year in the match against Zibo Keju, successfully helping the team eliminate the opponent by a big score. In the first round of the second stage, he scored in the team's 2-4 defeat to Wuhan, helping the team to take the lead for a while. At this time, we can actually feel that Oscar's confidence is back, and his threat is also coming out.
In the second round of the second stage of the just-concluded Chinese Super League, the Cangzhou Lions faced Shanghai Shenhua, the strongest team in the relegation group, and finally they successfully drew 1-1 with Shenhua and achieved a valuable 1 point for relegation. And it was Oscar who scored. It was the 76th minute of the game, Liao Chengjian crossed from the right into the penalty area, Oscar alertly stepped in to get rid of all the defenses, chose to head the ball into the net, Cangzhou Lions 1-1 Shanghai Shenhua. This ball can actually be seen in oscar's characteristics, that is, the sense of smell in front of the goal is sensitive, good at interspersing running positions.
Scoring goals in two consecutive games, and scoring key goals, it can be seen that Oscar is not only getting better and better, confident to find back, but also more and more mature, which is a big improvement. We also hope that he can maintain this good upward trend, and maybe after two seasons he is likely to enter the national football team and become a strong striker of the national football team. Do you think the Oscars are worthy of naturalization? Which positions do you think the national football team still needs strong naturalized players?
