Domestic football has recently ushered in a blockbuster news: Cangzhou team coach Zhao Junzhe announced at a press conference that star Oscar has agreed to join the Chinese nationality, and hopes that all parties will work together to complete naturalization as soon as possible. Oscar has previously expressed his willingness to play for the Chinese football team and agreed to become a member of the national football team.
According to The Paper, if the national team can succeed in the World Cup qualifiers in June, Oscar's naturalization process will be accelerated, and he is expected to represent the Chinese team in September.
The addition of Oscar will have a very far-reaching impact on the national football team. At present, the Chinese national team needs to rely more on naturalized players to achieve good results, rather than just relying on local players. At this stage, Jiang Guangtai and Fernando are the only naturalized players who can play a role in the national team, however, the latter has entered the end of his career, his fitness has greatly declined, and his contribution to the team has gradually decreased.
In addition, players such as Exxon, Alan and Li Ke are either out for a long time or in poor physical condition, which poses a big challenge to the national football team's vision of entering the North American World Cup in the future. Oscar's naturalization will bring new hope and vitality to the national football team. As a player with excellent skills and extremely high attacking efficiency on the field, the addition of Oscar will not only enhance the offensive firepower of the national football team, but also enhance the overall competitiveness of the team.
At the same time, the 24-year-old Oscar is in the prime of his career and has outstanding individual abilities. During his time in China, he played in 139 games and contributed 91 goals (59 goals and 32 assists), showing great attacking efficiency. Oscar is 1.82 meters tall and hails from the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa, with excellent physical fitness and impact and agility on the field. This season, he has played 3 Chinese Super League games for Cangzhou, scored 3 goals, and is in hot form.
If Oscar can be naturalized, he will be able to replace Zhang Yuning in Ivankovic's 442 formation, who has a good performance in fulcrum but has a weak shooting ability. This is also the reason why Wu Lei scored 4 goals and Zhang Yuning did not score a goal in the two world preliminaries of the Chinese team in March. The addition of Oscar will be able to share Zhang's playing time and ensure that both men can appear in the best possible condition.
Recently, the Chinese team defeated Singapore 4-1 and is in a good position to qualify. If they beat Thailand in the next round, China will ensure qualification from the group, and Oscar's naturalization may be on the verge of being realized. If all goes well, Oscar could make his Chinese debut in an international competition in September.
The addition of Oscar will undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the Chinese national football team and will also become a great news for Chinese football. It is expected that Oscar will continue to contribute to Chinese football under Chinese nationality and lead the Chinese team to achieve better results in the international arena.
