A few days ago, naturalized player Luo Guofu ushered in his 36th birthday. Unexpectedly, Luo Guofu, who helped the national football team compete in the World Cup qualifiers two years ago, is now 36 years old and far away from Chinese football and the green field. On the day of his birthday, Luo Guofu shared the news of his birthday celebration through social media, and expressed his deep gratitude to all the fans who cared about and supported him. It is worth mentioning that the birthday cake he made a wish on top of a Chinese flying dragon decoration, which seems to indicate that he still cares about China and Chinese football.
Luo Guofu wrote on social media: "Thank you for taking the time to send me birthday wishes, and I will double these good wishes to you for all who wish me health, success and happiness!" I'm really impressed, thank you! Luo Guofu's words brought the humble and friendly naturalized player back to us. I remember when he played for the national football team, he was always the one who spared no effort to run on the field.
Luo Guofu's football career is very closely related to Chinese football, he joined Shandong Taishan in 2014, landed in the Chinese league for the first time, played for 8 years to Taishan, Hebei, Guangzhou team and other clubs, completed the naturalization in the Guangzhou team, and was selected for the national football team for the first time in 2020. Although he only made five appearances and scored one goal in his national football career, Luo Guofu showed an even better attitude than our own players in these games for the national football team. It's just that Li Tie was coaching the national team at the beginning, and he was very cautious about the use of naturalized players. In 2022, he returned to Brazil to join América Mineiro, where he scored 16 goals in 60 appearances over the course of two seasons, a testament to his quality and dedication to football.
However, Lo was not satisfied with his achievements on the green field. He is currently representing Chapecoense in beach volleyball, which is not only a new challenge to his individual abilities, but also an exploration of the diversity of the game. From the football field to the beach volleyball court, Luo Guofu uses his actions to interpret the spirit of an athlete who constantly pursues progress and has the courage to try. At present, he has not retired, and with a value of 200,000 euros, ability, and state, the current national football team should also have a place for him. In the face of the upcoming round of 18, many fans called for Luo Guofu to return to the national football team.
If Luo Guofu does not have high salary requirements, domestic clubs can really consider him, and at the same time, Ivankovic also has a good look at Luo Guofu, if there is a chance to let Luo Guofu appear in the round of 18, solve the regrets left by the fans. Of course, the premise of all this is that Luo Guofu himself still has the willingness to continue to play for the national football team.
