Through the World Preliminary Tournament in March, the outside world saw the role of Fernando and Jiang Guangtai, two naturalized players, and at the same time, everyone's hope for continued naturalization was also ignited. However, there were some aspects of the previous naturalization work that were not in place, such as the naturalization party's lack of understanding of the rules, which eventually led to the "Jinan guy" Delgado becoming a foreign aid everywhere. There are also some Chinese naturalization who have also failed, such as Xiao Taotao and Hou Yongyong, who are equivalent to naturalization and loneliness. Now some media people have revealed the reason why naturalization is not in place: the Football Association is using Baidu to copy and paste to find naturalized players.
On April 8, 2024, according to the well-known football media person "Jallo Tang", the process of the Football Association looking for naturalized players was revealed. According to him, the last Football Association sent people to look for naturalized Chinese players, and the handling staff didn't understand what the situation was, and then went directly to Baidu to copy and paste to find it, and the Football Association staff found an old list published by "Jallo Tang" many years ago. Later, the manager really submitted the old list directly to the senior management of the Football Association. It is understood that many of the people on the old list retired when they submitted it, but the Football Association is still working on that list.
According to "Jallo Tang", he saw with his own eyes the internal information sheet of the previous Football Association, in which the list of naturalized Chinese Americans was similar to his. Although this is only a case of the last Football Association looking for naturalized players of Chinese descent, it also reflects the lack of seriousness of the Football Association towards naturalization work. Perhaps because of this, most of the naturalized Chinese players in the last session were unreliable. Last time, the Football Association naturalized Li Ke, Jiang Guangtai, Hou Yongyong, and Xiao Taotao 4 Chinese players, but among these 4 people, only Jiang Guangtai was relatively good, and the others were unsatisfactory.
The level of Xiao Taotao and Hou Yongyong is not very high, and they also withdrew from Chinese nationality early, and their ability and attitude are not ideal; although Li Ke is still playing in the Chinese Super League and has also been selected for the national team, it has not brought much help to the national football team at present. It can be seen that the last Football Association did not seriously implement the work of finding naturalized Chinese players. The naturalization of Chinese players is part of the naturalization work, and the Chinese players have Chinese ancestry, so they should theoretically have a greater sense of national belonging, but the selection of Chinese players should also be suitable in terms of age, ability, attitude and other aspects.
At this stage, the national football team still has Jiang Guangtai and Li Ke, two naturalized Chinese internationals, who can be used. Jiang Guangtai, who was born in the Premier League youth training system, is impeccable in terms of ability and attitude, which can be regarded as the only comfort that the last Football Association gave us. Of course, at present, we still have Fernando, Ackerson, Allan, Luo Guofu, and Delgado several naturalized players to call, and I hope that the national football team will use them correctly and strive to play well in the World Preliminary Tournament in June. If the report is true, I hope that the Football Association can take the naturalization work seriously in the future and don't copy it directly in Baidu!
