After 4 rounds of the round of 18, although the national team was at the bottom of the group with 3 points, we narrowed the gap with the previous team, and the difference from the second place was only 2 points. As long as you can win against Bahrain in the next game, then you can improve the ranking and control the initiative to qualify. Now there is good news, if the national football team really wins away against Bahrain, we will also add new naturalized players, among which Changchun Yatai foreign aid Serginho is basically booked.
On October 17, 2024, according to the domestic media "Tonight", the national football team defeated Indonesia, got three precious points, and retained the hope of qualifying for the World Cup, which will also once again ignite the enthusiasm of relevant parties for naturalization work, and many naturalized subjects are expected to become naturalized in China. Reporter Wang Zi analyzed that if the national football team can win away against Bahrain, then it can take back the initiative to qualify, and it is expected to add several naturalized players at that time, among which Sainiao has been basically determined.
Judging from the recent world preliminaries, the most lacking position of the national football team is still the core of the midfield like Oscar, Conca, and Goulart. In terms of forwards, there are players such as Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning, Alain, Fernando, etc., and the defenders also have Jiang Shenglong, Jiang Guangtai, Gao Zhunyi, these main forces, the goalkeeper position can be said to be the richest, but the national football team now has no midfield core. The Plug Bird fills the gap in the middle core. In fact, as early as before the start of the round of 18, Changchun Yatai's foreign aid Serginho was already the naturalization object of the national football team, but the relevant procedures will only be completed next year.
According to FIFA naturalization rules, non-blood naturalized subjects need to live in China for 5 consecutive years to be eligible to represent the national football team. Serginho officially joined Changchun Yatai on January 24, 2020, and can only represent the national football team after January 24 next year. According to the schedule of the round of 18, there will be four matches in March and June next year, and the national football team will play Saudi Arabia, Australia, Indonesia and Bahrain. If the national football team can win Bahrain in November, then there will be six points. It was difficult to score points against Japan, so the next 4 battles became a battle for points.
Judging from the previous top 12 matches, it is usually possible to score more than 13 points to finish in the top 4. If the national football team has 6 points in hand, then as long as it gets 7 points next year, there is some hope. In this way, next year's 4 battles will be of great significance. Serginho is good at organising attacks, can deliver key passes, and has good set-piece skills, and has made 97 appearances for Changchun Yatai, scoring 29 goals and assisting 21 times. If he can become a naturalized Chinese citizen and play on behalf of the national football team, then our chances of winning will increase.
Some time ago, Serginho himself has personally expressed his willingness to accept naturalization, and Changchun Yatai Club also intends to naturalize, but then the national football team lost 3 consecutive times, which also directly led to the naturalization matters are stranded, after all, Sai Niao can only play on behalf of the national football team next year, once he bids farewell to the 2026 World Cup in advance, it is of little significance to naturalize the nearly 30-year-old Sai Niao. In fact, not only Serginho, but also a group of Chinese players such as Tianle are also expected to take advantage of this east wind to become naturalized in China, and the national football team will also add several naturalized players.
