Approaching June, the pace of preparation for the national team is accelerating day by day, according to the coaching ideas of the new coach Ivankovic, each phase of the call-up will most likely arrange new internationals, although the latest list has not been announced, but in fact, the newcomers have surfaced one after another, the most concerned by the outside world is, the return of Alain, although he is a 35-year-old veteran, but the strength of the naturalized players is still there, compared with the local forward, Alain in the forward handling of the ball and shooting ability are excellent, the performance in the league is also increasing, and the return is also reasonable.
Over the past five years, the debate about naturalized players has continued, and although the voice has weakened a bit recently, the contribution of naturalized players to the national team is self-evident. However, unlike other players, individual naturalized players have never met the qualifications to represent the national team, in addition to the familiar Goulart, there is also Taishan's Delgado, after 2 consecutive seasons of loan, Delgado finally returned to the Taishan lineup, representing the team in the Chinese Super League, playing 9 games, contributing 2 goals, including the killer goal against Manatee. Unfortunately, Delgado is still a foreign player.
Of course, considering the existence of Fernando, even if Delgado completes naturalization, he must account for the foreign aid index, after all, there is only one non-Chinese naturalization quota for each team. Although Delgado has been naturalized for five years and is supposed to represent the national team, there is no news until now, let alone a call-up in June. According to informed media, whether Delgado can become an international player has not yet been determined, and the main reason is the interpretation of the rules. According to FIFA's requirements in 2020, players need to live for five consecutive years, and it can be counted as one year before they reach 183 days, which is more rigorous than the statement of 5 years of naturalization.
Therefore, looking back at Delgado's naturalization process, although it has been 5 years, he was loaned to the Portuguese league in 2020, which is similar to Goulart, who was also loaned to the Brazilian league, which finally led to FIFA not recognizing his status and not being able to represent the national team.
Now that Delgado is facing this problem again, the delay in representing the national team may be a bad sign. However, compared with Goulart, Delgado is currently 27 years old, even if he does not meet the current requirements, but 2 years later, Delgado is still in the prime of his career and can still be used by the national team.
