On April 14, Beijing time, international footballer Axon talked for the first time about why he would come back in an interview with local media.
Although a naturalized player, Axon performed mediocrely in the Round of 12. However, he did not give up his Chinese citizenship. After that, he may participate in competitions such as the Asian Cup. After leaving Guangzhou, he joined Gremio in the Brazilian sub-league. Like him, there are Lo Guofu, Gaulat, Alain and Fernando, who has not yet left home.
Axon's words speak to the hearts of all the naturalized players.
Axon told the media that he wanted to come back because Gremio was his old club and so on. These should be polite words, many players in China, when they return to their hometown teams at an older age, also like to say so.
In addition, he also said that in the past 2 years, he has only been at home for 1 month. This should represent the voice of most naturalized players and even the main players of the national football team. Although they are well paid, they may not be able to actually get it. And a long separation from family is the most unbearable.
Due to the lack of a home stadium and the FA's habitual increase in training time, the international footballers have worked very hard in the past year or so. Don't say go home and rest, even if there is not much time to rest.
In addition, Axon also talked about one thing. He joined Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League because the boss at the time (here should be the team manager) told him that Guangzhou team wanted to compete for the AFC Champions League.
This honor is very attractive to Brazilians. The ambition of Guangzhou Evergrande at that time also attracted the attention of many fans.
In the eyes of Brazilian players, the Chinese Super League champions, singapore league champions and Japanese league champions are similar. But if it's an intercontinental champion, it's completely different. Not only will this mean that the game will be more difficult, but they will also meet a lot of strong compatriots.
In the end, Axon fulfilled his dream and fulfilled his original promise with the club. Guangzhou Evergrande won the AFC Champions League twice and stood at the top of Asia.
Later, Lippi recruited Axon to the national team. But at this time, his state is not as good as before. After returning to Guangzhou, Axon was no longer a striker in the AFC Champions League, scoring just one goal against Kobe Victory and Suwon Samsung in four games.
This year in the national football team, Axon played poorly. The limited number of goals scored in the World Cup has only happened to super briskets like the Maldives and Guam.
The big break that fans wanted to see didn't show up. On the contrary, in the competition with European players such as Maya Yoshida, Axon seemed to be powerless. The national football team has also lost to these opponents one after another, and has not even beaten Vietnam on the road.
There is an Asian Cup in 2023, and if Axon wants to play, he will definitely join a domestic team next year.
Although it is only in the Brazilian sub-league, the intensity and intensity of the league exceed that of the Chinese Super League. In addition, the league here, except for 2020, has not been significantly revised in its schedule.
We look forward to Axon, who rests and adjusts at home, to be able to return full of blood.
