"Wu Xiaohai has gradually emerged in the club, no matter what position he plays, he looks young and old, and his future is limitless. However, it is a pity that in the end, because the price was not negotiated, Wu Xiaohai refused the invitation of the Chinese Football Association, or felt that the price offered by the Chinese Football Association was too low, so he chose to give up naturalization. ”
Bai Guohua, a well-known media person, disclosed the reason why Wu Xiaohai failed to be naturalized two days ago.
But when the fans took Bai Guohua's statement and asked Wu Xiaohai himself, Wu Xiaohai himself denied it! And a domestic online platform, after contacting Wu Xiaohai, Wu Xiaohai also responded-"The Chinese Football Association has never naturalized (me), but I am interested in possible naturalization." As I said, I was never contacted directly by the Chinese side. ”
"I saw that the article was about money, but I never talked to the Football Association."
In addition, there are also bloggers who are familiar with Wu Xiaohai who revealed that Wu Xiaohai is already in a hurry, and he has shown his "heart to serve the country".
So then again, is Wu Xiaohai worthy of naturalization?
He played 11 MLS games for the Vancouver Whitecaps this season, contributing two goals and three assists in six starts. Considering that the level of the MLS is significantly higher than that of the Chinese Super League, Wu Xiaohai can play as two fullbacks and two fullbacks; However, there is no particularly good candidate for the Chinese team's right-back reserve at the moment, and his value is higher than that of all Chinese players, so it is obvious that if he is naturalized, he will obviously have a stronger comprehensive ability to play full-back than domestic players in the same position. And he also has the ability to take penalty from set-pieces, so it can be said that if Wu Xiaohai can be naturalized and then continue to play in the MLS, it is the most ideal situation.
However, the two points of "naturalization" and "staying in the United States Vocational Union" cannot be achieved at the same time!
From the policy level, the Football Association can hand over the relevant materials to the higher authorities; But the financial report released by the Football Association shows that they still owe a lot of debt! At this stage, the Football Association, which is cleaner than its face, will definitely not be able to pay for naturalizing Wu Xiaohai.
The Football Association can't pay for it, and the naturalized Wu Xiaohai still has to count on the club to pay for it.
Since naturalization has to count on the club to pay, it is obvious that as long as the club pays for it, he will definitely have to play in the Chinese Super League!
And the most difficult thing about Wu Xiaohai's naturalization is that no club is willing to pay for it!
All naturalization in Chinese sports is essentially a business; This determines that the premise of naturalization is that the money is in place. This money not only has to satisfy Wu Xiaohai's own psychological price, but also has to satisfy the appetite of the middleman.
For example, Wu Xiaohai's salary may be $700,000 or $800,000 after tax. But according to the rules of the Chinese football circle, after the middleman learns the offer, he will at least "peddle" Wu Xiaohai with a salary starting at $1 million after tax. If the negotiation is successful, the extra part is the middleman.
At least two Chinese Super League clubs have shown interest in Wu Xiaohai after last season. The one that is closer is Shenhua, who has a relatively small reserve of fullbacks!
However, Wu Xiaohai's agent deliberately created an "illusion" that Wu Xiaohai was very sought-after in order to make money and ask for a high price, and took the initiative to release other "potential buyers" to raise the price.
It's just that the agent who acted for Wu Xiaohai is still not smart enough, and he shouldn't have chosen Shanghai Port as the target of the price increase. Because discerning people know very well that there is essentially a "boss" behind the two Shanghai families. In today's environment of "many dishes" in China's football transfer market, the two clubs in Shanghai have long reached a tacit understanding. The person that Shenhua fancies, SIPG will not rob; The person who Shanghai Port has a crush on, Shenhua will not rob it! Therefore, the broker's practice of "raising prices" in Shanghai Hong Kong indirectly angered Shenhua and caused Shenhua to withdraw from the negotiation table.
The reason why at this stage, Wu Xiaohai began to emphasize the "heart of serving the country" and emphasized his interest in naturalization is that his current salary in the American Professional League is only $120,000. The annual salary of the main players of many strong teams in the American Professional League is only 3 or 400,000 US dollars, and he just wants to come to the Chinese Super League to make money.
But it is no longer possible for the two in Shanghai to be at the negotiating table, and most of the foreign aid salaries in the Super League are not as high as Wu Xiaohai's psychological price (this is only Wu Xiaohai's psychological price, not counting the broker's markup), in fact, Wu Xiaohai has no buyers at all in the Super League!
Wu Xiaohai's naturalization is destined to be extremely difficult!
