In today's world football, national teams of all countries are actively introducing foreign naturalized players, in order to improve the strength of the team and enhance the competitiveness of the national team. In recent years, the Indonesian football team has achieved outstanding results in important tournaments such as the Asian Cup and Olympic qualifiers by bringing in naturalized players, and has become a role model for other Asian powerhouses.
In response to this trend, the Chinese Football Association has also begun to pay attention to the issue of introducing naturalized players. According to reports, the Chinese Football Association has asked national football coach Ivan Kovic to submit a list of four new naturalized players, of which Yang Mingyang and Delgado have been successfully naturalized. This has undoubtedly injected new impetus into the future development of Chinese football.
This article will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the background, specific plans and the situation of these players introduced by the Chinese Football Association, discuss the impact of this initiative on the development of Chinese football, and put forward an outlook for the future of Chinese football.
1. The successful experience of introducing naturalized players in Indonesian football
In recent years, with the increasingly fierce competition in world football, national teams of various countries have begun to introduce foreign naturalized players in order to improve their strength. Among them, the practice of the Indonesian football team has attracted much attention.
In 2022, the Indonesian national team achieved good results in the Asian Cup qualifiers and Olympic qualifiers, especially the historic elimination of the South Korean team in the Youth Asian Cup, which became the focus of the whole game. This groundbreaking achievement is largely due to the introduction of several naturalized players by the Indonesian Football Association in recent years.
These naturalized players include Marinelli, Bursa, Powell, etc., and their addition has not only brought strength improvement to the Indonesian team, but also brought good team cohesion and combat effectiveness to the team. For example, Marinelli has been an important pillar of the team by scoring key goals for Indonesia in a number of international competitions. The additions of Bursa and Powell have injected new vitality into the Indonesian team's defence and midfield.
In general, in order to enhance the competitiveness of the national team, the Indonesian Football Association did not hesitate to introduce a group of excellent naturalized players. These players have won many important victories for the Indonesian team through their outstanding performances, and also showed the important role of naturalized players in the national team.
2. The plan of the Chinese Football Association to introduce new naturalized players
After seeing the success of introducing naturalized players in Indonesian football, the Chinese Football Association has also begun to pay attention to this issue. According to reports, the Chinese Football Association hopes that the national football coach Ivan Kovic will propose a new list of four naturalized players, and carry out relevant work on this basis.
For these 4 newly naturalized players, two of them, Yang Mingyang and Delgado, have been successfully naturalized. Yang Mingyang played well in the Swiss league and provided a key assist last season. And Delgado also meets the conditions for naturalization of the national football team, and only needs the Football Association to apply to FIFA.
The other two players are Zhou Dingyang and Oscar. Among them, Zhou Dingyang's naturalization is relatively more difficult, and the Football Association needs to coordinate in person. Oscar, on the other hand, is fully in line with the naturalization conditions of the national football team, and the Football Association can operate directly.
Through the addition of these 4 players, I believe that the strength of the national football team will be greatly improved. In particular, Yang Mingyang and Delgado have completed naturalization and only need to wait for FIFA approval to represent the national football team. I believe that they will bring considerable contributions to the national football team in the future national team competitions.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to these 4 new players, there are some other naturalized players in the national football team who are completing the naturalization procedures one after another. For example, Oscar, who performed well in the 2022 Qatar World Cup qualifiers, is also expected to represent the national football team in the international arena in the near future.
In general, the Chinese Football Association's plan to introduce newly naturalized players has entered a substantive stage. Through the introduction of these outstanding foreign players, I believe that the overall strength of the national football team will be greatly improved, and it is also expected to achieve better results in important competitions in the future.
3. Analysis of the personal situation of the newly naturalized players
Yang Mingyang
Yang Mingyang, originally from Brazil, is 26 years old. He played for many years in the Swiss league and excelled, providing a key assist last season. Previously, Yang Mingyang had successfully completed the naturalization procedures and only needed to wait for FIFA's approval to play for the national football team.
As a midfielder, Yang Mingyang's overall strength is very good. Not only does he have excellent passing ability and vision, but he is also good at long balls and playmaking. In addition, Yang Mingyang also has good physical fitness and can continue to run at high intensity during the competition. These advantages make him very suitable for the midfield position of playing for the national team.
It is worth mentioning that Yang Mingyang has attracted the attention of the Chinese Football Association during the Swiss League. They believe that with Yang Mingyang's excellent skills and physical fitness, it will definitely bring great help to the national football team. Therefore, after Yang Mingyang completes the naturalization procedures, the national football coach Ivan Kovic is also looking forward to calling him into the national team as soon as possible.
Delgado
Delgado, originally from Colombia, is 29 years old. He had obtained Chinese citizenship as early as 2020, but has not been able to travel to China due to the impact of the new crown epidemic. Now, with the epidemic under control, Delgado has finally successfully completed the naturalization process.
As a centre-back, Delgado is excellent defensively. He is 1.88 meters tall and has a strong build, which gives him an advantage in aerial duels. At the same time, Delgado also has excellent marking ability and judgment of the timing of the ball, which are very suitable for the needs of the national football team's defensive line.
In addition, Delgado also has good passing ability and is able to organize the attack for the team. This is undoubtedly a big advantage for the Chinese national football team, because defensive central defenders often have to take on certain offensive tasks. Therefore, if Delgado can adapt to the tactics of the national football team as soon as possible, I believe he will make a big difference in the future national team competitions.
Zhou Dingyang
Zhou Dingyang, originally from Brazil, is 28 years old. Compared with Yang Mingyang and Delgado, Zhou Dingyang's naturalization process is more complicated and difficult.
Zhou Dingyang is a striker who has played well in the professional leagues in Brazil and Southeast Asia. He's tall and good at using his physical advantage to fight for heads and tackles in the box. At the same time, Zhou Dingyang's goalscoring ability is also impressive, and he has been able to score more than 20 goals in the professional league for many consecutive seasons.
The reason why Zhou Dingyang's naturalization process is difficult is mainly because although he has lived in China for many years, he has not yet fully obtained Chinese citizenship. This requires the Chinese Football Association to further coordinate and promote relevant work. If Zhou Dingyang is finally naturalized, I believe he will inject new vitality into the offensive line of the national football team.
Oscar
Oscar, originally from Brazil, is 29 years old. As a midfield control player, Oscar has excellent technique, passing and playmaking skills. In the past few seasons, he has performed very well in the Chinese Super League, and has been praised as the "best midfielder in the Chinese Super League" on several occasions.
In terms of qualifications, Oscar fully meets the conditions for naturalization of the national football team. He has been living in China for many years and has obtained Chinese citizenship. Therefore, as long as the relevant work of the Football Association is in place, Oscar will be able to represent the national football team in international competitions as soon as possible.
It is worth mentioning that Oscar's outstanding performance in the 2022 Qatar World Cup qualifiers has also made national football fans have high hopes for him. If he can successfully join the national football team, I believe that it will bring strong midfield control to the team and greatly improve the overall combat power of the national football team.
In general, these 4 newly naturalized players have undoubtedly injected new vitality into the national football team. Not only do they have outstanding strengths in terms of technology and physical fitness, but they can also bring a good international perspective and team culture to the national football team. It is believed that with their joining, the overall competitiveness of the national football team will be greatly improved.
Fourth, the impact of new players joining and future prospects
The introduction of these new naturalized players has undoubtedly had a positive impact on the development of Chinese football. First of all, the joining of these players can greatly improve the overall strength of the national football team. Players such as Yang Mingyang, Delgado, Zhou Dingyang and Oscar, both on the defensive and offensive ends, can bring significant improvements to the national football team.
These players are not only outstanding individually, but they also have a wealth of experience in international competitions. The skills they have honed in the professional league will surely provide key assistance to the national football team at critical moments. At the same time, these players can also bring a good team culture and leadership to the national football team, and stimulate the morale and fighting spirit of other players.
Secondly, the addition of newly naturalized players will also help promote the overall development of Chinese football. Taking Yang Mingyang and Delgado as examples, their successful naturalization as naturalized players not only reflects the importance of the Chinese Football Association, but also lays a good foundation for the future development of Chinese football.
In the future, as more outstanding naturalized players join the national football team, it will surely drive the talent training and echelon construction of the entire Chinese football world. Young players can learn from these experienced foreign players and improve their skills and tactics. This is undoubtedly a great benefit to the cultivation of Chinese football talents.
In short, the introduction of this new batch of naturalized players has undoubtedly brought a new opportunity for the future development of Chinese football. If they can integrate into the national football team as soon as possible and play their due role in future international competitions, then Chinese football will usher in a new golden era.
Let's look forward to these new players writing a more brilliant chapter for Chinese football!
