In the early morning of January 21, Beijing time, from the "Football News" reporter Lu Mi news, the current three naturalized players in Brazil Alain, Luo Guofu and Fernando, will fly to Japan together to meet with the Chinese men's national team. Among the three naturalized players, the 28-year-old Fernando is undoubtedly the most interesting. Lumi revealed that Fernando is applying for a visa to fly to Japan, and he is expected to make his debut on behalf of the national football team in the match against the Japanese men's football team.
In the previous domestic media exposure of the national football team against Japan, Vietnam, in addition to the 23 people who participated in the domestic training, there are Wu Lei and Li Lei who stayed in the European League, as well as 4 naturalized players Alain, Jiang Guangtai, Luo Guofu and Fernando.
Although Alain, Lo Guofu and Fernando missed the second stage of the Chinese Super League, their status with no ball to play is unknown. But given their strength, recruiting them into the team will still be a strong complement to the team's attacking power, especially the 28-year-old "little motorcycle" Fernando.
Last season, Fernando was one of the highlights of guangzhou. He made 17 appearances, contributed 5 goals and 2 assists, and made great threats to opponents when he came off the bench many times. This season, Fernando only made one appearance for Guangzhou due to injury and other reasons, and in the second stage, he terminated his contract with the club early because of unpaid wages.
However, Fernando's excellent speed and super ability on the flanks are still not available to the local attackers of the national football team. If he can rush to the national football team, Li Xiaopeng's team will undoubtedly add a reliable "breaking point" on the wing, especially in the game against Japan, the "small motorcycle" will be an important weapon for the team's defensive counterattack tactics.
