A few days ago, according to domestic media reports, naturalized player Xiao Taotao's contract with Guangzhou team has expired, and he has received offers from several Peruvian clubs and is seriously considering his future. Xiao Taotao officially joined Guangzhou in February 2019, when he caught up with the wave of naturalized players and received the team's annual salary of $2 million. Perhaps the Guangzhou team did not conduct a comprehensive examination of Xiao Taotao's ability, and a brief look at his resume recruited this player into the army.
Xiao Taotao's resume of his career is well-packaged, and he has been selected for the Peruvian national youth team, and has also played in the Peruvian League and the Copa Libertadores. The Guangzhou team looked at Xiao Taotao's resume and felt that his level was definitely stronger than that of local players of the same age. More importantly, Xiao Taotao is an authentic Chinese player who meets the requirements of the Football Association's naturalization policy. So in this case, the Guangzhou team gave Xiao Taotao a big contract for three years.
It turns out that the Guangzhou team signed Xiao Taotao only with a resume, which is indeed a bit sloppy. After Xiao Taotao came to the Guangzhou team, he was quickly defined as a parallel cargo. The Guangzhou team believed that Xiao Taotao did not have the strength to play in the Chinese Super League at all, so they loaned him to shanghai Shenxin, a Chinese league side. When Xiao Taotao represented Shanghai Shenxin in the Middle Division, he exposed his shortcomings of not liking defense and was directly beaten into the cold palace by zhu jiong, the coach at the time. Fans know that players who do not defend on the field cannot play in Chinese football at all.
Xiao Taotao later had a chance to return to Guangzhou, and coach Cannavaro wanted to transform him into a left-back. It may be that Xiao Taotao's poor performance at left-back made Cannavaro finally abandon his idea of entering the first team in Guangzhou. Xiao Taotao has been playing for the Chinese First Division team Kunshan FC for the past two seasons, and his overall performance has been tepid. There is no doubt that Xiao Taotao is the most failed naturalized player in Guangzhou, coming to Guangzhou for three seasons and not playing a single official game. Xiao Taotao easily took $6 million from the Guangzhou team and became the big winner of the naturalization boom. Simply put, the 6 million US dollars that the Guangzhou team spent for Xiao Taotao was equivalent to adrift, and finally ended up with two personal funds.
After Xiao Taotao's contract with Guangzhou expired, he waited to return to South America to continue his career. Theoretically, Xiao Taotao is still a Chinese player, and there is a possibility of playing for the Chinese team in the future. The premise is that Xiao Taotao's strength needs to meet the requirements of entering the national team before he can wear the national football shirt to play. Kunshan fans also do not recognize Xiao Taotao's ability, believing that he is inferior to local player Xu Junmin in terms of performance and data. Xu Junmin can't enter the national team now, let alone Xiao Taotao. Xiao Taotao can only hope to return to the South American league, play a famous game, and then get the national football call-up.
