Recently, according to domestic media news, the four "Brazilian" naturalized players of the Chinese national football team have rejected the call of the national football team on the grounds of injury. This means that in the round of 12 at the end of the month of the national football team, only One naturalized player, Jiang Guangtai, will participate in the game with the team. At the same time, according to the well-known football journalist Song Chengliang, during the last round of the World Preliminary Tournament, Li Xiaopeng reused naturalized players, resulting in local players having emotions, which may mean that the internal environment of the national football team is not as "harmonious" as the outside world sees.
Song Chengliang said: "During the Spring Festival, the two losses are the players who do not fight? Then I don't think, at least Luo Guofu has no problem with his attitude, there is no passive sabotage, but it is really impossible to keep up with the battle front for a long time. Domestic players see that you gamble on naturalization, and naturally lack of morale, this is the problem of your commander, you can't rely on the players not to fight, right? ”
Indeed, during the two World Preliminary Tournaments during the Spring Festival, although the national football team welcomed back the two naturalized players Luo Guofu and Alain, the game was very poor because these two players had been on vacation in Brazil for a long time and did not receive formal training. Especially after the humiliating loss of the national football team to Vietnam, the outside world has questioned why Li Xiaopeng used Alain, who was obviously out of form, instead of playing the first scorer of the Chinese Super League, Zhang Yuning.
Also after that game, it was pointed out that the local players of the national football team were playing with emotions because Li Xiaopeng unconditionally spoiled the naturalized players, so some players in the game were playing with emotions. Song Chengliang's statement also seems to corroborate the authenticity of this news at that time.
