On February 11, Beijing time, Oscar Maturi, a Chinese Super League player who was once regarded as the most likely to join the national football team in the future, made it clear in an interview with his hometown media that he would not enter the national football team in the future.
Oscar Maturi has been with the Cangzhou Lions for 2 years, but he is not yet 23 years old. Oscar Jr. has won the top scorer in the Chinese League A and has performed well on several teams. Previously, he was favored by Li Tie, the former head coach of the national football team. But now, Li Tie is no longer the manager of the national football team, and Oscar has also said no to the national football team.
Oscar Jr., a foreign aid currently playing for the Cangzhou Lions, is from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and is a fellow countryman with former Beijing Guoan team's foreign aid Bakambu.
Oscar Jr. revealed: The national football team found him before and hoped that he could become a naturalized player. But after talking to his parents, Oscar Jr. said he wanted to play for his hometown team, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Therefore, he rejected the national football team.
This is already known, the second player to play in the Chinese Super League, but said no to the national football team.
Earlier, The former foreign assistant of the Wuhan team, Evra, also revealed in the TV show in Côte d'Ivoire that the national football team had found him and hoped that he could become a naturalized player. However, Evra wants to play for Côte d'Ivoire.
At the end of 2020, Evra was selected for the Ivory Coast national team for the first time. In 2021, Evra wore the number 10 shirt and played for Ivorian and played well. This also means that he has no connection with the national football team at all.
However, in this year's Africa Cup of Nations, Evra became a substitute in the current year and watched the team out. The manager did not send him to the field with one substitution place left, resulting in the team's loss on the penalty. Evra, on the other hand, is the number one penalty shooter in the Wuhan team.
Unlike Evra, Oscar Jr. has not yet played for the national team, and he has a chance to join the national football team.
Unlike Côte d'Ivoire, the Dr. Congo has not been a strong football team in history. However, in recent years they have made rapid progress.
Côte d'Ivoire was eliminated in the group stage of the World Preliminary Round and did not reach the top 10 in the African zone, but Congo reached the final 10. Next, their opponent will be Morocco. As long as they win, the team will reach the stage of the World Cup final for the second time.
Oscar's characteristics are very prominent, talented, fast start, good bounce, but the ability to grasp opportunities in front of the goal is not strong.
Although he has played well in Yanbian Fude and Shaanxi Daqinzhishui, he has repeatedly appeared in the Chinese Super League with the scene of "happy football". However, Oscar Jr. is still young, and this year, he is still a U23 player. He had the opportunity to improve his shots.
Li Tie had previously gone to the home of the Shaanxi team to see Oscar's performance. But now, Li Tie is no longer the manager of the national football team.
Although Oscar Jr. is a good foreign player in the Chinese Super League, his talent in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is not outstanding. Watford's Kayembe is only 1 year older than him and standard front striker Murray Kayam is two months younger.
Even if he wants to play for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Oscar Jr. probably doesn't have many opportunities if he doesn't play in Europe. With the dwindling investment of Chinese Super League teams, if Oscar Jr.'s shooting success rate cannot be improved, the young player who will not be naturalized may also be eliminated.
