On March 31, Beijing time, news came from the Brazilian media "Global Sports" that naturalized player Luo Guofu will accept a physical examination arranged by the American club of Mineiro in Brazil on March 31, local time, and if all goes well, he will sign a one-year contract with the club. Since Luo Guofu has been in Brazil since he went to Japan with the national football team in February this year to prepare for the competition and participate in the top 12 matches, and no Chinese club is willing to sign him so far, Luo Guofu, who will turn 34 years old in June this year, may end up with the national football team.
In the final two rounds of the Asian Round of 12 of the World Preliminary Championship in Qatar held late this month, the Chinese team has drawn with Saudi Arabia and defeated Oman. Among the several naturalized players who originally entered the national football squad, in addition to Jiang Guangtai's return to the team to prepare for these two games, Luo Guofu, Alan, Axon, and Fernando were all absent due to physical or inability to participate in the test.
It is understood that among the above several people, Jiang Guangtai, who has the most age advantage, still has a considerable possibility to stay in the Chinese Super League to play football, but the remaining 4 people from the current situation reflected in various channels, the prospect of staying in the Chinese Super League and even the domestic professional league is not optimistic.
On March 31, Beijing time, the information released by the Brazilian media "Global Sports" showed that Luo Guofu would accept a physical examination arranged by Mineiro Americas in Brazil on March 31, local time, and if he passed the physical examination, he would join the club. If this happens, then combined with the global epidemic and other factors, Luo Guofu will not be able to return to China in the short term, and it will not be able to prepare for and play for the Chinese team.
In fact, after China was eliminated from the Top 12 of the World Preliminary Round of Asia in Qatar, the team's next major event task is to host the 2023 Asian Cup on the mainland next summer. At that time, Luo Guofu has reached the age of 35, and from the perspective of the national football team facing a comprehensive "blood update", it is difficult for Luo Guofu to become an important reliance on the team's new cycle construction.
As for the other naturalized players, the reality they face is similar to that of Luo Guofu. It is worth noting that the registration and transfer rules for naturalized players introduced in the new season do not introduce specific content for naturalized players of Chinese descent and naturalized players of non-Chinese descent. From the actual situation, due to various practical factors such as the epidemic and economic conditions, it is impossible for domestic clubs at all levels to introduce non-Chinese naturalized (naturalized) players in the new season. All indications show that the above-mentioned naturalized players (except Jiang Guangtai) are difficult to return to the national football camp.
