Naturalization is the last word that the national team wants to see, after all, in most cases, when there are naturalized players in your national team, it basically means that the strength of your project is very weak, weak enough to need external forces to help improve, such as our football.
When our football reached the bottom, we also began to follow the example of some countries to start naturalization, but unfortunately, we spent a lot of money, but let ourselves fall deeper and deeper, how high is the price of a naturalized player? For example, The recent withdrawal of Chinese nationality, the return of Brazilian nationality to Gaulat, naturalized for three years, Gaulat has not played a game for the Chinese men's football team, but he has enjoyed all the benefits of naturalization, such as naturalized settlement fee + three years of super high salary, according to media reports, just naturalized Gaulat, our cost is more than 600 million yuan.
The cost of football naturalization is so high that many fans also think of Zhang Benzhihe and Zhang Benmei and the brothers and sisters who have recently posed a great threat to the Chinese national table tennis, and in the just-concluded WTT competition, the brothers and sisters have become one of the biggest opponents in the future of Chinese national table tennis.
As we all know, Zhang Benzhihe's ancestral home is Sichuan, Zhang Benzhihe's mother is a former national team member, his father is a Sichuan Provincial Team athlete, because of the fierce competition in national table tennis, Zhang Benzhihe's parents went to Japan to develop, in 2003, Zhang Benzhihe was born in Sendai, Japan, the original name is Zhang Zhihe.
In 2013, Zhang Benzhihe participated in the All Japan Championship at the age of 9, setting a record for the youngest player in the competition, and in 2014, in the preliminary round of the Men's Under 21 of the Japan Table Tennis Open, Zhang Benzhihe achieved good results, and in July of the same year, Zhang Benzhihe won the championship in the sixth grade below the sixth grade of primary school, which was also his fifth time to win the championship of the competition.
When Zhang Benzhihe showed great talent, the Japanese national table tennis also aimed at him, in 2013, Zhang Benzhihe's father filled out the Japanese nationality naturalization application form for his son, applied to join the Japanese nationality, in March of the same year, Zhang Benzhihe and his father and sister officially joined the Japanese nationality, and changed the original Chinese surname "Zhang" to the Japanese surname "Zhang Ben", it is worth mentioning that Zhang Ben's mother, who has always insisted on not changing the nationality, finally chose to join.
This time the naturalization of the Japan Table Tennis Association is simply not too cost-effective, Zhang Benzhihe and Zhang Benmeihe have now become the representative figures of Japanese table tennis, so in order to naturalize this family, how much price has the Japanese Table Tennis Association paid? Compared with the naturalization investment of our men's football team, the cost of naturalizing Zhang Benzhihe of the Japanese Table Tennis Association is almost zero.
Why? When Zhang Benzhihe came to the age of 10, he faced the fierce competition of whether to return to China to join the Chinese national table tennis, and at this time, the Japanese national table tennis only gave Zhang Benzhi and a family a commitment to the "generation plan", they only promised that if Zhang Benzhihe stayed, whether it was the game or the resources of the coaching team would be greatly tilted to Zhang Benzhihe, in order to avoid fierce competition, Zhang Benzhihe finally chose to accept naturalization, and he only got a very small part of the income and resource protection. Therefore, the Japanese national table tennis business is simply worth it.
