On August 13, 2022, Beijing time, according to brazilian media "O Globo", Chinese naturalized player Axon, who has returned to Brazil, was sued by his ex-wife for not paying child support. Since 2015, Axon has been paying child support to the mother of the child. But for now, Axon is accused of defaulting on more than 60,000 reais (about 80,000 yuan) in child support. Ekson's ex-wife said she had been trying to contact Ekson but had not been able to do so. At present, the arrest warrant for Axon has been registered in the rio de Janeiro court in Brazil, and although the arrest warrant indicates that it refers to the arrest of Axon, it requires the seizure of Axon's passport in case he leaves Brazil for another country.
As soon as this matter came out, it immediately triggered a heated discussion on the Internet. Some netizens said: "Axon's move is really unnecessary. Even if he has no feelings for his ex-wife, the child is his own flesh and blood after all. Refusal to pay maintenance is a refusal to fulfill the responsibilities of the father. Li Xuan of the Football Newspaper said on the social platform: "As a Chinese, I was actually controlled by the Brazilian side." Axon, do you miss this money? ”
In fact, what Li Xuan said is not unreasonable, after joining Guangzhou Evergrande in 2012, Axon signed a total of 3 contracts in 9 years of the Chinese Super League. The first four years of Evergrande's contract allowed Axon to earn 8 million euros. After moving to Shanghai SIPG, Axon's annual salary increased twice to 6 million euros, and he earned a total of 24 million euros at SIPG. After returning to Guangzhou Evergrande, Axon's competitive status has declined, but because of the naturalized player factor, Axon's annual salary has not decreased but has risen, reaching a staggering level of 10 million euros after tax, and it should be known that the annual salary of world footballer Lewandowski is only 9 million euros. Combined, Axon earned a total of 42 million euros in China, equivalent to about 329 million yuan, which can be described as countless gold.
Since he is already an enemy of wealth, why is Axon unwilling to pay a mere 80,000 yuan of child support to his 8-year-old child? This question seems to be puzzling, as long as it is combined with Axon's own personality and character, it is not difficult to speculate that there may be another hidden plot behind this matter. During his time in China, Axon's efforts, performances and dedication to his team were highly recognized by the outside world. Even later in his career, after a sharp decline in competitive status, the "Cubs" did not slacken off, whether in the club or the national team, Axon always seized every opportunity to dedicate everything to the team. How can someone who is so responsible for his own work not be responsible for his own children? What's more, that little child support is not even pocket money for Axon, and the cost of his due diligence is extremely low. Then, Axon's motive for doing so may be only one, that is, there is a hidden plot behind this matter.
But regardless of the final direction of this matter, as a naturalized player, the possibility of Axon returning to the national football team is extremely low. From an economic point of view, Axon is 33 years old this year, and his competitive status is no longer comparable to that of his peak, and there is no need for much recruitment. From the perspective of this "arrest" incident, once the matter develops to a more serious point, the national football team will definitely consider "public opinion" and "influence" and will not recruit Axon again. However, judging from similar incidents that have occurred in South American footballers in the past, things will basically not develop to the point of being difficult to clean up. The author estimates that in the end, it will basically end with Axon taking the money.
