Recently, there has been more and more negative news about Chinese football, especially after losing hopes of entering the World Cup, executives and international footballers led by football association president Chen Shuyuan have been strongly condemned by the outside world.
However, everything has its two sides, and after experiencing this unprecedented trough, the vitality of the national football team has bloomed again. At 1 p.m. Beijing time on February 16, according to Brazilian media reports, the naturalized player of the national football team, Exxon, who has long played for the eight champions of the Chinese Super League, Guangzhou, is about to return, and another giant, SIPG, has issued a sincere invitation to him. Axon is the first foreign player to be successfully planned by the Football Association in the true sense, and he is also the player who has made the most appearances and scored the most goals for the national football team so far, which can be called the strongest thigh of the national football team.
After Axon terminated his contract with Guangzhou in January this year, he became an unrestricted free agent. After the end of the first stage of the Round of 12, Axon returned to Brazil with Luo Guofu, Alain and others. And on the eve of the match against Japan and Vietnam, he accidentally contracted the new crown virus, so he did not participate in the subsequent competition. This incident also led to a significant reduction in the strength of the national football team, and eventually missed the World Cup, and the majority of fans were full of doubts about Axon's loyalty. If he does join the Bajia, it means that he will never return to the Chinese Super League. Since then, it has become increasingly difficult for the national team to recruit him again.
However, the Brazilian media report is clearly a timely rain. The news excited 400 million fans across the country. As a meritorious player of the Guangzhou team, Axon played a total of 164 games for the Guangzhou team. He scored 105 goals and provided 45 assists for his teammates. During his six years with Guangzhou, he won a total of eight championships for the team, including two AFC Champions League titles. At the national team level, Axon also performed well. At present, he has played a total of 13 World Cup games for the national football team, scoring four goals. It can be said that his ability and experience are the strongest and most stable among the current batch of Chinese players.
This time, the sign of being able to get Shanghai SIPG can also be regarded as the root of Axon's fallen leaves. For the national football team in a difficult period, the return of Axon's thigh is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the players. At the same time, we can also see Axon's desire to return to the national football team. In fact, for Axon, with his current competitive state, it is also difficult to gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive Bajia. And returning to the Chinese Super League, he is bound to get a maximum salary of 3 million euros, which is a good place for him to ensure a harvest in drought and flood.
Of course, the most important thing is that this return to the Chinese Super League can also prove his love for Chinese football to the outside world. With his ability, he can set a good example for domestic players and play a role of passing help. In addition, Axon's return can also be regarded as helping Chen Shuyuan, who is in the midst of aquatic fire. However, before Chen Shuyuan became chairman, he held the position of general manager of Shanghai SIPG Club. What's more, Axon has also played for SIPG for a short time before, and whether this return has the impetus behind Chen Shuyuan and the vigorous planning behind the scenes, it is not known at present, but this result is a win-win situation for Axon, for Chen Shuyuan, and for Chinese football.
