I believe that many fans are full of hope for this national football team with serious talent disconnection after a decision made by the Football Association during the 2018 World Cup. The decision was to turn on naturalized players. At that time, many fans believed that in the case that youth training could not provide talents for the national team in a short period of time, naturalizing excellent Chinese and non-Chinese Chinese Chinese Super League foreign aid was the fastest way to solve the gap between Chinese football talents. And naturalization may be good, our national team can be like Guangzhou Evergrande, with the lineup of international footballers and big-name foreign aid to reach the top of the AFC Champions League twice, and even reach the top 4 in the Club World Cup.
Of course, what we thought was very beautiful, and we spent a lot of money and energy to do it, but unfortunately, the result was like a mirror. Although we have 4 strong reinforcements in the front line, Axon, Alan, Fernando and Lo Guofu, the midfield also has championship back Li Ke, and the center-back position also has a strong center-back like Jiang Guangtai. But they did not bring more victories to Chinese football, but let our hopes be disappointed one by one. Especially after the collapse of the gold dollar model of the Chinese Super League, most of them have left the Chinese Super League and left China, and the future cannot come back, only depending on the mood.
In fact, until now, many fans are still very repulsive to non-blood naturalization, because they think that these people can only be regarded as mercenaries, and they do not have much sense of identification with Chinese and Chinese football, so if there is less financial support, their departure will be very crisp, without thinking, without hesitation. Especially after the national football team lost 1-3 to Vietnam in the round of 12, it is generally believed that our naturalization road at this stage has completely failed.
In the past, some people always said that Chinese is not suitable for playing football, and now that we have foreign aid or can't play football, what should we do? But now it seems that we have begun to have a new idea, that is, the combination of Chinese and foreign countries to create miracles. Recently, the U17 national teenager announced the list of 26 people in the first phase of the 2022 training camp, and the selection of one of them attracted everyone's attention. He is The 14-year-old Huang Shenghao, who currently plays for the Guangzhou City Echelon.
Born in August 2007 in Guangzhou, Huang Shenghao is a mixed-race player whose mother is Chinese and his father is Nigerian. He is currently fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin. And growing up in Guangzhou, his national and cultural identity has no problems at all. He started his football career at Guangzhou Dongshan Sports School and entered the Guangzhou City Youth Training for professional training in 2018. Later, he helped the echelon to win the 2019 07 Age Football League Cup U12 Group Championship, the 2020 Lihao Cup U13 Championship, the 2020 Guangdong U13 Governor's Cup Champion, and later won the 2019 Japan World Challenge Cup runner-up and the 2021 National Youth League U15 Guangdong Division runner-up with the team, which can be said to have won numerous honors. Huang Shenghao's current height has reached 178cm, playing at the back of the field, his defensive ability is strong, the coverage area is large, which is exactly the type that is very lacking in the current national football team.
It can be said that the emergence of Huang Shenghao will make many fans see hope, and even feel that Chinese football will enter a new era. Because even the well-known foreign player Sun Jihai thinks that Chinese is not suitable for playing football, then now there is a mixed-race, who grew up from China, who is stronger in physical fitness and more talented, to see if he can create a miracle with Chinese football.
In fact, our Chinese football really made our fans heartbreaking, developed for so many years, many ways have been tried but it just can't be done, which makes people very distressed. But our desire for football has not been less than one point, so Chinese football must continue to move forward, continue to try, and always find a path that suits itself. Do you think this mixed-race player can help Chinese football improve? How much can I improve? Fans are welcome to discuss together in the comments section!
