On January 12, Beijing time, the official news of Santos Club, former Guangzhou foreign aid Gaulat officially joined, and will wear the No. 10 shirt. Many people are wondering whether Gaulat is still a Chinese player, and the answer is obvious. Because in some details, we can look at it, which is to welcome a Chinese player.
Goulart's success needs no more words, he is one of the most successful foreign aides in the history of the Chinese Super League, representing Guangzhou in 174 games to complete 110 goals and 54 assists, and brought the team 3 Chinese Super League, 1 AFC Champions League, 1 FA Cup and other honors, and personally won the AFC Champions League, Chinese Super League MVP and other honors. Gaulat also briefly went on loan to Palmeiras and Hebei, and in November 2021, Gaulat ended his contract with Guangzhou and returned to Brazil.
Together with Axon, Alan, Fernando, Luo Guofu and others, Gaulat was also naturalized in China, but unfortunately, under the strict policy of FIFA, Gaulat, who had returned to Brazil for half a year, could not meet the conditions of living for China for 5 consecutive years, so he did not have the opportunity to play for the national football team. And because of the early end of the contract with Guangzhou and the return to Brazil, Gaulat will become a Chinese player who will never be able to play for China.
So, is Gaulat still a Chinese national? We can see that in the official news of Santos Club, the Chinese of "Welcome Ricardo Gurat" is very eye-catching, in addition, Santos officially said when following Gaulat's personal social media: "Santos Football Club is now starting to pay attention to 'GAO LATE'! Plus, Gaulat's personal social media reads "God bless you!" "However, the Chinese flag was affixed. So on the whole, Gaulat is still a Chinese national.
Then, Gaulat will become the third Chinese player to "stay in the west" after Wu Lei and Li Lei, and then, the terminated international players Axon, Alan, Fernando and Luo Guofu may also sign with the Brazilian team.
