Naturalized player Fernando announced on social media that he had flown back to Brazil and missed the next round of 12. Since the success of naturalization, the highly anticipated fast horse has not yet staged the debut of the Chinese men's football team.
Fernando was first selected for the training list of the national football team in September 2020, when he was selected with Jiang Guangtai. Today, 16 months have passed, Jiang Guang was the defensive core of the national football team too early, the absolute main force, what about Fernando? An official match has not yet been played.
In fact, fans may expect more from Fernando than Jiang Guangtai and more than Luo Guofu. On the one hand, his characteristics are very prominent, fast, excellent technology, and strong individual combat ability, which just makes up for a major shortcoming of local players in attack.
On the other hand, Fernando is not yet 29 years old, which is said to be the golden age of professional footballers, and can play longer games on behalf of the national football team. Axon and Alain are both 32 years old, and Luo Guofu is 33 years old.
However, due to injuries, although Fernando has been selected for the training list, he has never represented the national football team, whether it is the top 40, the round of 12 or the warm-up game.
This time against Japan and Vietnam, Fernando entered the final roster, and originally had the opportunity to make his debut, but due to the health of his family, he could only suddenly fly back to Brazil, and he definitely missed these 2 games.
So in the last two round of 12 matches in March, will Fernando still have a chance to play? The uncertainty is great, or the unknown. If there are other problems or changes, it is not ruled out that he will not be able to play a game! Then such naturalization is really not a success.
