In the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup Asian qualifiers, the national football team only ranked third in the group after two rounds, and whether it can enter the round of 18 has to be marked with a big question mark. If you continue to impact with the current lineup, not to mention whether you can get the 8.5 places in the Asian region, it is estimated that you will not even be able to enter the top 18.
watched the two world preliminaries of the national football team, except that they were more willing to fight than before, they had no other characteristics, they still couldn't hold the ball at their feet, and their shots always missed the goal. Fans can't help but wonder: why don't those players who have spent a lot of money on naturalization not use them?
Why didn't any of the naturalized players who were able to represent the national football team recruit Allan, Luo Guofu, Ackerson, and Fernando? Jiang Guangtai was injured again, and he actually recruited only Li Ke, which is really a bit puzzling, is it really because they are old? Li Tie did not need to be naturalized players, resulting in the national football team not being able to participate in the Qatar World Cup. If Jankovic does not need to naturalize players, the national football team may not be able to participate in the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The new FA team has not denied that it will no longer be naturalized. A few days ago, there were media reports that the main reason why the Football Association did not continue to naturalize players was that there was no object to naturalize. The main reason is that the hard conditions for naturalizing a player are a bit harsh, because the player must meet the requirements of playing in the Chinese Super League for 5 years. Many foreign players were already around 25 or 26 when they came to the Chinese Super League, and after playing for 5 years, they are already in their 30s, and their state has long been much worse than before. The reason why Ackerson and Alan performed unsatisfactorily in the national football team is because they are older and in less shape than before.
When it comes to the new naturalization object, in fact, Oscar, who plays for the Cangzhou Lions, is quite good, and has met the hard conditions for naturalization, the key is that he is not very old, he is only 24 years old this year, and he is in the golden age of football players. Oscar made 30 appearances for the Cangzhou Lions in the 2023 season, scoring six goals and providing four assists. There may be fans who think that this data is not outstanding, but everyone must know that Cangzhou Lions are only a team at the middle and lower levels. If you put Oscar in Shanghai Port, or Shandong Taishan, his statistics are absolutely amazing.
On July 11, 2018, Oscar moved from New Jack to Yanbian Fude on a free transfer. Later, he transferred to Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic, and after the dissolution of Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic, Oscar has been playing in Cangzhou Lions until now. From the day Oscar came to play in China, on July 11, 2023, he already met the hard target of playing in the same region for five years.
Oscar once won the top scorer when he played in the Chinese League, which also proved that his shooting skills were good. If Oscar partners with Wu Lei and adds Wei Shihao, the offense of the national football team will be upgraded to a higher level, and there will be no longer any worries about always missing goals. I just hope that the Football Association can act quickly, and don't wait for Oscar and Cangzhou Lions to leave after their contracts expire before regretting not naturalizing him.
