Recently, the Chinese men's football team's naturalized players have once again become the focus of public opinion. Because the overall strength of the current Chinese men's football team is average, if you want to quickly improve your strength, using naturalized players is the fastest channel. At present, the World Cup qualifiers have entered a critical stage, and the use of naturalized players is also imminent!
So far in the Chinese Super League, a number of potential naturalized subjects have performed well. Like Zhou Dingyang of Chengdu Rongcheng and the little Oscar of the Cangzhou Lions, they basically meet the conditions for naturalization! But the biggest obstacle now is that the Chinese Football Association has no money! After all, if they are asked to give up their original nationality to play for the Chinese national football team, they will not be able to impress them just by relying on an unknown qualification for the World Cup. As a result, there was no progress in naturalization. Although some clubs are willing to contribute to naturalization, they also give up because the asking price of the naturalization object is too high. Wu Xiaohai is one of them.
As early as the beginning of the season, Shanghai's two giants, Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai Port, had been in contact with Wu Xiaohai. 25-year-old Wu Xiaohai, grandmother and mother are Chinese, and father is Portuguese. He himself is a Canadian citizen. Previously, it was reported that Wu Xiaohai was willing to play in the World Series for the Chinese national football team. Fans were also very happy to hear the news. It is reported that Wu Xiaohai's worth is the same as Wu Lei's, both of which are 112 million yuan. He's a versatile midfielder who can also attack and defend. Such a type, if it can be naturalized, will undoubtedly be a timely rain for the Chinese national football team! Therefore, fans are very much looking forward to the arrival of Wu Xiaohai. With the start of the new season of the Chinese Super League, Wu Xiaohai did not appear. Fans also have a little regret! Is it that the two giants in Shanghai have not taken action?
Recently, a blogger revealed the answer. Blogger Jallo_Tang spoke on social media about Wu Xiaohai's failed naturalization because the price was not negotiated. The implication is that they dislike that China gives too little money and are unwilling to play for the Chinese national football team, and it is reported that Shenhua is also very dissatisfied, and they have a clear attitude, don't come if they want a high salary! Five years ago, Guangzhou Evergrande invested 890 million yuan in order to naturalize players. At that time they operated 7 naturalized players. However, because of the restrictive use of Li Tie's guidance, it failed to reflect the true role of naturalized players. At that time, it was the era of Jinyuan football, and it was normal to spend a lot of money! But now, the investment of various clubs is more rational, and it is certainly impossible to reach the previous standard! It is precisely because of this that Wu Xiaohai's naturalization has failed!
Song Kai, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, once said in an interview that naturalization should develop towards a younger generation. Obviously, if you want to choose naturalized players in the future, you will probably choose some younger players! Like the current naturalized players Allan, Fernando, Exon, and others, they are all approaching the end of their careers! The help given to the Chinese national football team is also limited! Alas! Is there any hope for the national football team to impact the World Cup?
