At 8:00 a.m., the media commented bitterly on the naturalization project, hundreds of millions of dollars spent on water, and fans were sad at 3:00
On January 19, Beijing time, there are still 8 days left before the 7th round of the World Cup Asian Round of 12, whether Several naturalized players such as Luo Guofu, Alain, Jiang Guangtai and other naturalized players participate in the game has become a key topic of discussion among domestic fans and media. At 8:00 a.m., the Shanghai media "Xinmin Evening News" published a spicy comment on the naturalization project, and the sentences poked at the heart. The central point of the article is that the naturalization project, which lasted nearly three years, cost hundreds of millions of yuan, and may eventually end in a "bad end".
The new head coach of the national football team, Li Xiaopeng, has circled a 52-man roster, including 5 naturalized players including Luo Guofu, Alan, Jiang Guangtai, Axon and Fernando. In fact, all of these players were absent from the training of the national football team in Shanghai, and some returned to Brazil to reunite with their families, and some went to Dubai to reunite with their families. As early as the end of the 6th round of the Round of 12, the news of the Guangzhou team's unpaid wages has made Luo Guofu and Alan and others have the idea of leaving the team, and under the severe situation of epidemic prevention and control, once these naturalized players go abroad, it is even more difficult to return to China to participate in the follow-up matches of the Top 12.
Remember Luo Guofu's generous and touching speech? He said: "No matter what other naturalized players do, I am a Chinese and will definitely continue to play in the round of 12 follow-up matches. "The national football team played against Japan in the 7th round, and against Vietnam 5 days later, Luo Guofu could not play against Japan due to accumulated yellow cards, and if he himself was willing to participate in the match against Vietnam, he also needed to return to the national team early to participate in the training. In fact, there is no news whether Luo Guofu and others are willing to return. Without money as a guarantee, it is difficult for these 5 naturalized players to continue to play for the national football team. That's true, but it makes sense, after all, naturalized players are just "mercenaries."
Incomplete statistics show that the cost of naturalized players is about 870 million yuan in salaries, transfer fees, settlement fees, etc. Such a huge expense has not brought visible progress to Chinese football. In the first 6 rounds of the round of 12 matches, the former coach Li Tie did not make full use of the naturalized players until the 6th round against Australia, all the 4 naturalized players started, and the national football team drew 1-1 with the strong opponent. However, in the first 6 rounds of the national football team, 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, with 5 points, ranking second to last in the group, unless all the last 4 rounds are won, there will be hope of qualifying. However, how many naturalized players are willing to come back? Pessimistically, without a naturalized player coming on the stage, how can the national football team beat Japan and Saudi Arabia? Therefore, the national football team basically did not have the opportunity to participate in the Qatar World Cup.
To be optimistic, the naturalized players all participate in the remaining matches, but after the World Preliminary Round, they still have to leave. There are 3 points of pain for fans: Chinese fans have waited for 20 years, from black hair to gradually whiteheads, Chinese football still failed to rush into the World Cup, fans are sad! Spending hundreds of millions of yuan to take the road of naturalization, but in the end it is a void, and the fans are sad! There are naturalized players but they are not easy to use, the good opportunity to qualify is wasted by Li Tie, but no one in the Football Association has come out to take responsibility, and the fans are sad! Is Chinese football back to square one? No! The national football squad in 2002 was much stronger than it is now, and the origin of Chinese football was higher than it is now. How to develop Chinese football in the future? I look forward to people of insight to make a career.
