When the national football team has a number of naturalized players, it is still difficult to win in the World Cup qualifiers in the Asian top 12 matches, and lost two key games in a row at the beginning of the year, completely losing the final qualification, and the naturalized players in the team also played a key role in the team from before, and finally slowly gave up playing for the national football team, including players who are willing to play for the national football team, it is difficult to play a key role on the field, which undoubtedly gives the national football team, including the entire Football Association, a big blow. For the work of the Football Association on naturalized players, there are undoubtedly higher requirements, many fans have begun to call for the abandonment of the implementation of the policy of naturalized players, and even those who support the continued naturalization of players have also put forward many new suggestions and opinions on the future naturalization policy. According to the latest report in Football News, the naturalization journey of Chinese football will continue, but they have narrowed the scope of naturalized players to find players with Chinese blood within three generations. The purpose of this is to ensure that players can maintain a sense of belonging in the national football team.
It may be very practical for athletes and players to put forward such a sense of belonging in some sports, but for the national football team as a collective, I believe that this method will not really achieve any results. In other words, I am not optimistic about this naturalization policy of blood relations within three generations. Why? Because we can take the Current Winter Olympics as an example, in the ice hockey project and several other competitions, such as figure skating, skiing and other sports have appeared in the naturalized athletes, but even if some of the athletes are not related to the entire domestic group, but everyone still reflects a good professionalism on the field. There is a difference in ability, but there is no obvious difference in the degree of investment. From here, we can also find that in the direction of naturalized athletes, it is not necessarily necessary to have cohesion or go all out to fight as long as there is a blood relationship.
You can also imagine and compare that in European leagues, such as the Bundesliga, The Dutch First Division, the Portuguese Super League, the Soviet Super League, the Turkish Super League and many other league players, in the case of former African or American players, have become the key players of some teams in Europe, including the world's top teams such as Germany and France, there are also naturalized players. They have former African or American players on their team who play key roles in the team. This naturalization is not because they are related to Europe by blood, but because they love football, which can create space and opportunities for them to reflect their self-worth, and can show their abilities on the world stage, so everyone is willing to become a naturalized player and a member of the national teams of these European football powers.
The idea of the FA, considering blood relations for naturalization, is ostensibly plausible. However, in the long run, this is also a relatively short-sighted behavior. We can also see that a player like Luo Guofu who is willing to play for the national football team, even if he has no blood relationship with the national football team, will still strive to integrate into this team, and is willing to contribute to his football dreams and the league of the country he has played for a long time, as well as the development of the national team. Some of the naturalized players we recruited in the beginning of the three generations were not reused, and their strength was not fully qualified for naturalization.
From these aspects, it is clear that this naturalization of blood relations within three generations is actually just a reason for the Football Association to recruit naturalized players for itself. In the real long run, it is either to break this boundary and completely give some players who really want to be naturalized players and want to contribute to the development of Chinese football the opportunity, or to completely abandon the selection and cultivation of naturalized players, and put more attention on youth training work, so that more young players can grow in our own league. Both want to use naturalized players, but do not dare to fully open this work itself is a kind of forward-looking, want to win and fear of losing, I believe it will not bring much help to the future development of the national football team, so for the majority of fans and friends, do you support this kind of naturalization of players who are related to each other within three generations? I hope that everyone will give their own views and discuss them together.
