I believe that many fans feel that after the fiasco of the national football team's 12 finals, our booming naturalization campaign has failed. The naturalization of Chinese football began during the 2018 World Cup in Russia, when the Football Association gave the opportunity to the Chinese Super League clubs. I hope that they can recruit some excellent Chinese and excellent foreign aid from the Chinese Super League who meet the naturalized national football team. At that time, everyone was looking forward to the opening of naturalization to quickly make up for the shortage of talents in the national football team, while improving the originally relatively weak forward line and midfield position. It can be said that many people look at this matter with hope.
But the reality is very cruel, the world has searched for a circle, excellent Chinese are really too few, at present only 2 Chinese have entered the national team, namely Beijing Guoan team back Li Ke and Guangzhou team center-back Jiang Guangtai. At present, only Jiang Guangtai has become the main force of the national team, and Li Ke has always been a marginal player, coupled with injuries, he has not appeared in the national team's list for a long time.
The other is. The most anticipated non-Chinese players. Their naturalization conditions are much harsher than those of Chinese players, and they can only play in China for more than 5 years. That is to say, if these players come to the Chinese Super League as young adults in their careers, they will now reach the end of their careers. So we saw that in addition to the little motorcycle Fernando, several other people like Exxon, Alain and Lo Guofu were already over 30 years old. Although they can still maintain a certain level, they are far from the peak moment, and their performance in the round of 40 and the round of 12 can also be seen. Their current capabilities are not enough to help the national football team to get a greater boost. What is even more embarrassing is that the small motorcycle, which is still the right age, has been unable to play for the national football team because of injuries, and having it is equal to not having it.
In this way, we have spent so much money on naturalization in recent years, but the result is a chicken feather, the national football team failed to rush into the World Cup, and it is worse than the last 12-round performance. And so many naturalized players, except for Jiang Guangtai, seem to see no more hope. And as these naturalized players have returned to Brazil, many fans believe that the naturalization of Chinese football has failed. And with the departure of Kaldek, who had been expected so much before, many believed that our naturalization program had stopped.
But in fact, no, recently in the training of a Chinese Super League giants, we saw a naturalized player figure. This team is the defending champion of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan, and this player is you Xiaolong, a 20-year-old Norwegian Chinese player. It is reported that You Xiaolong was born in Norway, his father is Norwegian, and his mother is Chinese. He plays as a centre-back, right-back and other positions, with a height of 190 and a good header ability. As a teenager, he was selected for Norway's U16 youth national team and has a record of 2 appearances. But he didn't have much of a glamorous resume after that. And before coming to Tarzan, he only played in the lower leagues in Spain.
Therefore, he is currently only trying out in the Taishan team, and whether he can stay or not depends on the strength he has shown. However, now That You Xiaolong has submitted an application to restore his nationality through the Chinese Embassy in Norway, once approved, he can play in the Chinese Super League as an internal aid, which is very beneficial for him to play in the Chinese Super League. So can the 20-year-old Norwegian centre-back become the new Jiang Guangtai of the national football team? If there are two physically strong players in the center-back position, do you think the defensive hardness of the national football team can be increased, and the ball will be conceded less?
