Exon joins Gremio.
Following The signing of Lo Guofu to the Barbami Nero Americas, another national football naturalized player Axon also finalized the new owner.
On April 13, Beijing time, the Brazilian Second Division team Gremio officially announced the joining of Axon, and the two sides signed a contract until November 30, 2022.
As the first unrelated naturalized player in the national football team, Axon previously missed four round of the national football team, and this return to Brazil to play may mean that he is less and less likely to wear the Chinese team jersey again.
Axon is the first unrelated naturalized player in the national football team.
13 appearances, only 4 goals
Axon, 32, played for Guangzhou from 2013 to 2016, joined Shanghai Harbor in January 2016, returned to Guangzhou in July 2019 and terminated his contract with the club last December. During his time in Guangzhou, he played in 164 games, scoring 104 goals and giving 40 assists.
As the main force of the Chinese national team to impact the World Cup, players such as Axon have joined the Chinese nationality. However, it is regrettable that in the end they failed to help the national football team complete the task of entering the World Cup.
On September 10, 2019, in the round of 40 matches against maldives, Axon made his debut and scored twice. So far, he has made a total of 13 appearances for the Chinese team, with 4 goals scored.
In terms of goal efficiency, Axon's answer sheet can only be said to be unqualified.
After playing the first six round of twelve matches for the national football team, Axon and Guangzhou team completed the termination of their contracts and set off to return to Brazil. In the two round-12 matches during the Spring Festival this year, Axon did not come to Japan because of the new crown infection.
At that time, Luo Guofu, Alain and Fernando set off together, and Fernando returned because of his family's illness. In the last two matches of the round of 12 at the end of March, because the four Brazilian naturalized players had been absent for a long time, the coaching staff of the national football team proposed that they needed to undergo physical tests, but the four were not willing to leave for Dubai early, so they were not selected in the end.
Lowe joined Mineiro Americas.
The current annual salary is the previous monthly salary
After the round of 12, Luo Guofu took the lead in finding a new owner and officially joined the American Club of Fc Naro in Lacchio, and the two sides signed a contract until the end of 2023.
Luo Guofu officially debuted after joining, wearing a no. 50 jersey with the name "Luo GF" on the shirt. In an interview with Brazilian media, Luo Guofu talked about why he Chinese name and his expectations for the future, "Chinese fans gave me the nickname 'Bison', and Luo Guofu is the name I use now." I like what it means (rich country people). ”
Axon and Gremio signed until the end of November 2022, according to previous Pakistani media sources, Gremio has the right to renew his contract for 1 year in priority, but his annual salary will not exceed BRL 5.85 million (825,000 euros after tax), which is almost a month or so of his salary during his tenure in China.
Despite joining Gremio this time, Axon said he still wants to play for the Chinese national team in the future - he will retain his Chinese nationality and register with the team as a foreign aid.
The other two Brazilian naturalized players, Alain and Fernando, have not yet found a new owner, but according to Brazilian media sources, the former may be signed with his old club Fruminense, and the next home of the "little motorcycle" is not clear.
Luo Guofu's jersey name still uses the Chinese pinyin "Luo GF".
In the future, it may be difficult to represent the national football team
Although the four Brazilian naturalized players are not yet willing to sever their ties with China, their chances of playing for the national football team again are actually not much.
They find a new team to maintain their form, and the national football team does not need to undergo the so-called physical test, but the most important problem at the moment is that the national football team has basically not scheduled games this year.
The East Asian Cup has basically been determined by the U23 national football team that will participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games, and if the epidemic prevention policy does not change much, the next appearance of the national football team will wait until the international match day in March 2023.
A year later, the variables are too big. At that time, the older naturalized players will be one year older, and perhaps the fate between them and the national football team has ended.
