At present, the development of naturalized players has become the focus of attention from the outside world, especially after the failure of the national football team to impact the World Cup, whether it is necessary to continue the naturalization plan is also one of the main issues of discussion. Judging from the results, the naturalized players did not help the national football team to achieve the desired results, and some management problems were also caused during the period, such as Luo Guofu's unobstructed mouth, as well as Fernando's long-term suspension, halfway back, etc., so the performance of the naturalized players is difficult to satisfy the outside world. At present, the Football Association still has not given an answer, but in addition to the naturalized internationals, there are individual naturalized players scattered in the league clubs.
Especially the first batch of players who completed naturalization, such as Hou Yongyong, Li Ke, Xiao Taotao and others, the first two were injured before, but also underwent surgical treatment, the current state is recovering, Li Ke also represented the national football team, so it is a contribution, and Guangzhou's Xiao Taotao is the most embarrassing, although the Guangzhou team naturalized the title of the first person to join, but in fact, until now, 3 years of contract period has not participated in a game for Guangzhou team, even last year's AFC Champions League, Guangzhou team sent a youth army to participate, Xiao Taotao did not wait for the opportunity. He has been eligible to participate in the national football team since September 2020, but has not yet been called up once.
Obviously, whether it is Cannavaro, or Zheng Zhi, did not choose Xiao Taotao, the latter's strength is limited, even if it was loaned to Shenxin, Kunshan two Chinese League A teams in the past, Xiao Taotao has not shown superiority, 24 appearances in the 2021 season, only contributed 3 goals and 1 assist, whether it is performance or data, can not make Kunshan management satisfied, so did not choose to renew.
In desperation, Xiao Taotao had to embark on the road of finding a new owner, but this time it was already more difficult in China, and he could only seek the possibility of staying in the ocean. At present, Xiao Taotao's biggest advantage is freedom, and the expiration of his 3-year contract with Guangzhou is also a relief for the club, because naturalization requires high salaries, and it is obviously a waste to raise a player who cannot represent the team.
Xiao Taotao's annual salary is about 12 million yuan, which is also the maximum salary standard in the past, but Xiao Taotao's strength obviously cannot reach such a salary. According to the informed media, Xiao Taotao may return to the Peruvian league, has received quotations from a number of local clubs, can not imagine that players who can not play in the Chinese Super League, but also so welcomed, Xiao Taotao is expected to become the next Chinese player to stay in the Ocean.
