Naturalized players have been treated differently, and the Football Association will deliberately hire overseas physical coaches to assess naturalized players, and if the physical fitness is not up to standard, they will not be called up!
There are still two games left in the round of 12 to be completed, but these two games have no meaning for the national football team. Because the national football team ranked 5th in Group B with 5 points, even if the next two games were won by 6 points, the final points were only 11 points, unable to enter the top three. In this way, in the next two games, fans feel that the national football team should mainly train new people and prepare for the Asian Cup and the next World Cup.
However, in the big list given by Li Xiaopeng, there are still more than 10 veterans over the age of 30. In addition, 5 naturalized players such as Axon, Fernando, Jiang Guangtai, Luo Guofu and Alain are also on the big list. However, whether these 5 naturalized players can meet the team and go to the UAE is still unknown.
According to the Beijing Youth Daily, the Football Association has hired foreign physical coaches for 5 naturalized players, who will be tested on various indicators, and will only be recruited after all the standards are met, otherwise they will be abandoned.
This is the naturalized players physical fitness has been talked about again, remember when Li Tie was the coach of the national football team, about the problem that Luo Guofu and Alain did not start, some people said that their physical fitness was not good, so they could not meet the requirements of the starter. It is these naturalized players who are not physically strong in some populations, but they fight the hardest on the field of play, and their desire for victory is more urgent, because they want to enter the World Cup more than local players.
It's not the first time naturalized players have been treated differently. After the naturalization of players such as Axon, they should have enjoyed the same treatment as local players, but at the club they are still regarded as foreign aides. Now that the physical test is conducted, and it is specifically aimed at naturalized players, it is no wonder that some fans have questioned the Football Association: Why not let the local uncle also test it to see how many people can pass the pass?
Even if the physical fitness of the naturalized players is not good, but they dare to fight on the field, can fight desperately for a ball, see Luo Guofu sacrifice himself to block the opponent's shot with his body, and then look at Wu Xi's dodge, is the physical fitness really so important? Some people may have physical fitness, but they walk on the field and play health ball.
Let's go back and look at what the FA's physical test of naturalized players is for. A couple of naturalized players, they definitely want to play in the World Cup. But now that the dream of the World Cup has been shattered, will they still be willing to wear the national football shirt again? Some people also say that naturalized players are willing to be naturalized for money, which we do not deny, but in the current situation of the decline of the clubs in the Chinese Super League, naturalized players certainly do not have any hope of seeking gold.
The so-called physical test of the Football Association may only be to give themselves a step down, and when the naturalized players are absent from the game, they will use the naturalized players' physical fitness as an excuse that they are not called, rather than the national football team being released by the naturalized players!
