On February 10, Beijing time, Nathan Chen (Chen Wei) of the American team defeated three Japanese men's athletes and won the winter Olympic figure skating men's championship.
Chen Wei's parents are from Guangxi and Beijing. But he was born in the United States, and according to the regulations at the time, he automatically obtained American status as soon as he was born.
In recent years, Chinese Super League teams have introduced many strong foreign aides. Many of them have been in the country for a long time and their children were born in the country. The children of these foreign aides are in exactly the same situation as Nathan Chen. Will they be able to represent the Chinese men's and women's football team in the future?
It has been reported before that Nathan Chen was born with a green card to his parents. In other words, Chen Wei is a naturalized player of the American team that has changed direction.
In recent years, the strength of national football has declined a lot. After losing to Vietnam, the national football team is not facing the pressure of performance, but the problem of fewer players and fewer elites.
The same situation also occurs in women's football. Unlike men's soccer, women's soccer has fewer young players. In Asia, a new wave of professionalism is coming. Vietnam women's football, Philippine women's football, Iranian women's football and even Indian women's football are expected to rise. In this Asian Cup, the players of these representative teams are mostly post-98s, or even post-00s.
Among them, the Philippine women's football team is composed of a large number of mixed-race players and naturalized players, and the progress is very large. They not only made it to the top four of the Women's Asian Cup, but also received tickets to the World Cup. Many of these female footballers are the descendants of foreigners born in the Philippines.
Gaulat joined Guangzhou Evergrande very early and basically played in the Chinese Super League. One of his twin children was born in China, and at that time, he had already obtained Chinese nationality, but due to the operation error of the Guangzhou team, he lost the opportunity to represent the national football team in the Asian competition. However, it was easy for Gaulat's children to naturalize in China.
The son of Kalanga, a foreign aid currently working for Henan Jianye, was not born in China, but the daughter is. Today, he has been playing in the Chinese Super League for 3 and a half years.
In addition, Kim Young-kwon's daughter was also born in Guangzhou. However, she returned to South Korea early and is already studying in South Korea.
The youngest son of Shenhua meritorious player Moreno was also born in Shanghai, but he still can't speak. But his daughter, not only Chinese said well, she could not leave the school in Shanghai.
Oscar's youngest son, Kao, although not born in China, has no difference in Mandarin level from Chinese children of the same age.
These foreign aid children who grew up in China have a greater sense of identity than their fathers. Some of these people have great hopes of becoming football players.
Because their fathers have basically achieved financial freedom, their children have full financial strength to play football at home. Once the talent is discovered, it is also possible to be sent to play in Europe.
At that time, Chen Wei's parents were working in Salt Lake City while falling in love and getting married and giving birth to him.
In recent years, there have been more and more naturalized players in Asia. However, like the national football team, it is rare to naturalize multiple foreign aid into a national footballer in one go.
Teams including Thailand, Indonesia, Qatar and Oman have all developed naturalized players from an early age and have been implemented for many years.
Although today's Chinese women's football team won the Asian Cup, they are basically very weak, and the follow-up talent has been broken. The situation is even more pronounced in men's soccer. We need not only naturalized foreign aid, but also the second generation of these football-gifted players who grew up in the country.
