Whenever the Chinese team assembles, the topic related to naturalized players is always made a big fuss by the media. In the previous journey of the World Preliminary Round of Twelve, the Chinese people can already clearly feel the naturalization of Chinese football in the continuous cooling, and before the arrival of the Spring Festival's "backwater war", whether Axon returned to the team once again caused a hot discussion in public opinion.
Around the Lunar New Year, the national football team will challenge Japan and Vietnam away successively, and well-known media have also revealed the team's training roster. The most eye-catching players in the list are undoubtedly overseas players, including Wu Lei and Li Lei, two foreign players, and four naturalized soldiers, Luo Guofu, Alain, Jiang Guangtai and Fernando. Of course, although the naturalized players are listed, they can compete with the team in the top twelve, depending on the objective situation.
Looking at the 29-man roster of the national football team, careful fans must have found that Axon, the key player of the first naturalized group of the Football Association, was not listed. According to ma Dexing, a well-known journalist, Axon, who returned to Brazil after the national football expedition to West Asia in November, has made it clear that he will not return to the team to participate in subsequent matches, so he has not made the big list. Subsequently, some media people said that Axon was infected with the new crown in Brazil and must not be able to meet with the national football team.
Regardless of the reasons why Axon missed the follow-up match of the national football round of the twelfth round, the player's recent attitude is already very telling. After the economic crisis suffered by evergrande group behind Guangzhou, most of the naturalized players' salaries were difficult to pay as planned, resulting in them leaving China after the end of the national team game. Even Luo Guofu, who constantly preaches in front of the media a sincere heart for Chinese football, cannot negotiate a salary, let alone Axon, who is not so "Chinese".
In December last year, Axon said goodbye to the Guangzhou team in a social media post and said in his personal Weibo that he was a Chinese and would fight with the national team until the last moment. Now, just a month later, the naturalized player who was once given high hopes has parted ways with the national football team, which cannot help but feel sad. What is even more worrying is that Axon's lack of access to the national football squad may be just a signal that naturalized players may gradually leave.
Since the moment the naturalization policy was proposed, supporters and opponents have been arguing. For Chinese football, the "introduction" of high-level non-blood naturalization can greatly enhance the strength of the national football team, which is a way to impact the World Cup, from the perspective of naturalized players, the reason for willing to naturalize in China is also very simple - there are huge salaries, and the original motherland does not have the opportunity to impact the World Cup.
Therefore, when the naturalization policy was finalized and implemented, the pace of public opinion was optimistic, and the view that "black cats and white cats, and those who catch mice are good cats", but after the start of the round of twelve, people found that everything was not so simple. First of all, Chen Shuyuan became the new leader of the Football Association, and the naturalization policy was led by his predecessor, which made it very embarrassing to implement it. Previously, Li Tie's use of naturalized players was also more or less affected by the upper echelons.
Secondly, the swing of the use of naturalized players has affected the record of the national football team to impact the World Cup, the sharp turn of the economic situation of Chinese football, and the salary of the hand, after several tosses, even if the naturalized players who are "more like Chinese than the local international footballers" will have ideas in their hearts. Don't forget, the bison that impressed Chinese fans with a series of moves was also intended to come to China seven years ago for money.
On the one hand, the money is not in place, on the other hand, there is only a theoretical opportunity to impact the World Cup, the demand for naturalized players is basically disappointed, and it is necessary to adapt to the torment of the competition system and the separation of family members, coupled with the fact that the Football Association has long lost its enthusiasm for naturalization, all kinds of factors show that the naturalization policy will soon fall to the freezing point. Axon's "runaway" is just to put the problem in front of the stage, and no one can guarantee how many "new Chinese" will be in the future to fight for the national football team.
Therefore, where there are so many "Chinese do not deceive Chinese", behind the appearance is the essence of interests. At the very least, for now we can still expect Lo Guofu, Alain and Fernando to appear. And no matter how many naturalized players will appear in the Chinese team's roster in six days, Li Xiaopeng's team will have to fight, right?
