Luo Guofu: I will not withdraw from Chinese citizenship! I am grateful to be naturalized, and I am willing to be a Chinese forever
Recently, Luo Guofu, a naturalized player of the Chinese men's football team and former Chinese Super League golden boot, accepted an exclusive interview with well-known Brazilian journalist Galbi. Speaking about his status as a naturalized player, Lo said he still retains Chinese citizenship and does not plan to renounce his citizenship, even if it causes some inconvenience for him to play in Brazil. Lo also believes that the experience of playing in China has changed his life dramatically, and he is eternally grateful for that.
When talking about his naturalized identity, Luo Guofu said frankly: "Yes, I am now a Chinese. In Brazil, I played as an outsider, and then I couldn't do this, I couldn't do that. Some people think I'll find a lawyer and try to change my nationality after a while, but I don't want to do that, I want to continue to be Chinese. If possible, I would like to retain my Chinese nationality for a long time to come, even until the end of my life. ”
"Because when I played in China, they helped me a lot, that experience improved my life and that of my family, maybe even my grandchildren's life, I made a lot of money and played for the national team, I am grateful for everything in China, naturalization is part of that. That's why I'm glad I still have Chinese citizenship, which is very important. Luo Guofu said.
In addition, Luo Guofu also recalled some interesting stories when he played in the Chinese Super League: "I have had two Chinese girlfriends, but in eight years in China, I have only dated these two girlfriends. When I went to Hebei to play, the club manager suddenly called me to a meeting, he asked me how much I wanted, and it happened that the agent was not around, so I casually said that my annual salary in Shandong Luneng is 4 million euros, and I want to double it. The answer was yes, but what was said today would be a verbal agreement, and we ended up with a one-and-a-half-year contract with an annual salary of 8 million euros. Later, my friend asked me: Do you know that you are the lowest-paid foreign aid in Hebei? I was surprised, but I couldn't help it, after all, 8 million yuan is also a lot of money. ”
