I believe that many fans know that our national football team has experienced serious weakness in the past ten years. The national football team has drawn 0-0 with India at home, 1-1 with Palestine, two draws with Hong Kong, China in the World Preliminary Round, and 0-0 draw by the Philippines away from home, even the bottom line Myanmar team set for us by General Fan Zhiyi, we are also a small win at home 1-0. It can be said that the attack power of the national football team is too sad. However, in the face of these weak teams, the national football team does not create opportunities to score goals, and it creates many opportunities, that is, it cannot score, that is to say, the finishing ability of our local strikers is not good.
However, our fans know why the national football team is weak, and the main reason is that our league does not give local strikers a chance to grow. From the Chinese Super League to the Chinese First Division, basically all teams' forward lines are foreign aid, especially the kind of South American players who have super personal ability, can fight, are fast, and have good foot skills. It can be said that as long as these foreign players are there, scoring goals becomes simple. But obviously our homegrown strikers aren't that type, they need to work together, so they can't play. This situation has been going on for more than a decade, so it has led to the disconnection of our front-line talents, making people completely hopeless.
And this is also the reason why the Football Association opened naturalized players in 2018, it is really impossible to find in its own people, then it can only seek foreign assistance. At that time, many fans were looking forward to the national football team to plan a strong striker, just like Axon in the 2013-2014 season, scoring almost every field, the highest consecutive goal record was 13 goals in 7 games, and the single season was also a record of 28 goals. At that time, many people thought that with Axon, the problem of the national football team's front line was solved. But when Axon really arrived at the national football team, everyone did not feel fragrant, because the current Axon is no longer the Axon of 7 years ago, he is over 30 years old, and his mobility has seriously declined. Now Axon not only can't help the national football team score goals, but even the fulcrum role is very limited.
However, our fans actually have a consensus, that is, if Axon is still the Axon of 7 years ago, then he will definitely be able to help the national football team score more goals, and even kill the four sides. But it is a pity that time cannot be reversed, and we all have to face reality. But we can expect a new Axon to emerge who can also have the impact of Axon, the ability to finish efficiently, and the ability to score more goals. Luckily, this guy seems to have appeared, and he is Oscar, the 22-year-old foreign aid forward of the current relegation group Cangzhou Lions.
In a relegation battle in the 19th round of the second stage of the Chinese Super League, the Cangzhou Lions played against Wuhan, in the second minute of the first half of stoppage time, Yan Zihao of the Cangzhou Lions picked out a pass on the left side of the penalty area, and the foreign assistant Oscar wrapped up the close-range header to score the goal, and the score became 1-0. After scoring this goal, Oscar has scored in four consecutive games, and according to his current state, the goal will continue.
In fact, the efficiency of the Oscars has long been revealed. As early as the 2018 season, Oscar, who was only 19 years old at the time, joined the Yanbian Fude team in the Middle League, and scored 10 goals in 15 starts in 15 appearances in that season, and his scoring methods were diverse, including super long-range shots, headers to grab points, and barb volleys in the penalty area, it can be said that watching him kick is a pleasure. After the dissolution of Yanbian, Oscar freely transferred to the Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic Team in the Central League, and in the 2019 season, he scored 22 goals in 25 of the 26 appearances, successfully winning the top scorer of the Central League.
However, Oscar then experienced a period of lows, and in the 2020 season he joined the Shijiazhuang Yongchang team of the Chinese Super League and played with the team in the Chinese Super League. But the Oscars, who have high hopes, can't find the rhythm and feeling in the Chinese Super League, last season he played 17 games and started 10 games for the team, scoring only 2 goals, which disappointed many fans, thinking that the Oscars were actually insufficient. But in the first round of the FA Cup this season' Cangzhou Lions vs. Zibo Keju, Oscar staged the senior season to help the team win 5-1. After this game, Oscar gained confidence. And immediately after the start of the Chinese Super League, he also found the feeling of the game, so the last 4 rounds of goals, helped the team to achieve 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, the points successfully rose to the 3rd place in the relegation group, relegation is basically no problem.
Seeing the Oscars re-emerge and begin to hang in the Chinese Super League, many national football fans are very happy. Because at present, Oscar still has the opportunity to play for the national football team, and he came to China in the 2018 season, it has been 4 years now, and in another year and a half he has reached 5 years, and at that time his age was 24 years old, or young and energetic and momentum, and he can even help the national football team to impact 2-3 World Cups, it can be said that naturalization is very cost-effective. What do you think? Do you think the national football team should naturalize players like Oscar? Do you think he can make a difference in the national football front?
