Since Jankovic became the manager of the Chinese national football team, naturalized players have begun to regain attention in the national football team. According to relevant news, at the next national football training camp, Jankovic will consider calling more naturalized players to participate. However, one of the problems facing the national football team at present is that the current state of naturalized players is generally not ideal, only a few have shown a good level of competition, in such a situation, Jankovic needs to make a choice whether to entrust them with heavy responsibilities.
Recently, the South Korean media "MHNSE" also paid attention to the current situation of naturalized players of the national football team. In the eyes of the South Korean media, almost all the naturalized players of the Chinese national football team are "honest and old". The media commented: "Chinese team coach Jankovic is considering recruiting naturalized players, including Axon and Fernando who have returned to the Chinese Super League, and Allan and Luo Guofu who play in Brazil, can be selected for the national team list." However, the prevailing perception is that these players are old, such as Luo Guofu, who is now the most in-form, is 34 years old, and his stats in Brazil are only six goals in 15 games. ”
"On the other hand, these naturalized players have not shown a superior level. For example, Lo Guofu can only brush the stats in the Mineiro State League, not in the higher-level Baja Liga. Axon played 741 minutes in the second division last season, scoring just four goals. Such efficiency is far from the peak. The media said.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Korean media, Zhang Yuning is now the number one striker of the Chinese national football team: "From the current situation, Zhang Yuning is almost the only player in the Chinese team who can play the center forward position. And this also leads to the Chinese team has no other way, even relying on the power of these naturalized players who are over 30 years old. ”
Judging from the evaluation of the Korean media, they are indeed full of "arrogance and prejudice" about the level of naturalized players of the national football team, which is also a common problem of Korean football in the past, that is, they think highly of themselves but do not respect their opponents. If the national football team can play South Korea in next year's Asian Cup, we will also expect the 35-year-old Axon, Allan and others to make South Koreans pay for their words.
