At present, the national football team is in full swing in Japan to prepare for the round of 12 against the Japanese team. Because this game is not only the first game of the new year of the national football team, but also the first official game of Li Xiaopeng's guidance and coaching of the national football team, but also a life and death battle that is related to whether the national football team can still retain a glimmer of hope of qualifying. Therefore, before Li Xiaopeng's guidance gathered almost all the powerful international players who could be summoned. These include Axon, Luo Guofu and Fernando, who have left the Chinese Super League, as well as five naturalized internationals such as Alain and Jiang Guangtai, who still belong to Guangzhou. Hope to use their personal ability to help the national football team defeat Japan and break the curse of the 24-year unbeaten Japanese team.
However, due to various reasons, the naturalized internationals who eventually went to Japan to make peace with the national football team were only 3 people left, Alain, Luo Guofu and Jiang Guangtai. Coupled with Luo Guofu's anger at the Chinese Football Association on social platforms, and Fernando's "malicious return to his hometown" due to family reasons, naturalized players have become the focus of hot discussion in Chinese football for a while. There are even some ill-intentioned media and journalists who demand that the Chinese Football Association strike a blow and never hire the relevant naturalized international footballers at the critical moment.
In other words, although most of the naturalized international footballers are older, after playing this World Preliminary Tournament, they may no longer be useful to the national football team. However, young players like Fernando can still be used for the 2023 Asian Cup and the next World Cup. We have absolutely no need at this time, and naturalized internationals tore their faces. If, if the skin is really torn, only Chinese football will suffer losses. After all, the money has already spent a lot, and at this time, to push out all the naturalized international footballers, is it not to lose the wife and fold the soldiers?
Speaking of naturalized players, there was bad news from Brazil today. Naturalized player Gaulat officially announced that he would join Santos, which would completely interrupt the naturalization requirement of living in China for 5 consecutive years. As the most optimistic and anticipated player of national football fans, Gaulat was qualified to play for the national football team when he returned to the Baltica league for half a year and did not have the opportunity to re-naturalize during his time for Guangzhou Evergrande. Even so, fans are still full of expectations, but last season Guangzhou had an economic crisis, and Gaulat once again returned to Bajia.
Since Gaulat is currently a Chinese national, whether he plays as a foreign aid after returning to the Brazilian League or restoring brazilian citizenship has become the focus of attention of Chinese Super League fans. Today, Gaulat gave the answer when he officially announced that he had joined Santos. He said that at present, due to the loss of some documents, he will temporarily register as a foreign aid. When I said this, Gaulat and the host of the live broadcast room laughed loudly, which made me feel a little uncomfortable as a Chinese fan. Since then, Gaulat has said that the Chinese passport indicates that he can use the Brazilian name, so the jersey will use: R. Goulart。 It is reported that Gaulat signed a contract with Santos until the end of 2023 and will wear Santos's No. 10 shirt.
We can conclude from Gaulat's words that in the near future, when he retrieves the lost documents, he will restore his Brazilian citizenship and complete the registration in the Brazilian league as a Brazilian player. In other words, it does not matter if Gaulat restores his nationality, after all, his return to the Bajia has completely no chance to play for the Chinese men's football team. On the contrary, it is worrying that Fernando, who returned to Brazil for family reasons, will he change his nationality after following the example of Gaulat? In that case, the Chinese national football team will not only miss a strength international, but also the huge amount of money spent by the Guangzhou team will probably be lost.
