Recently, the well-known screenwriter Wang Hailin broke the news that the national team has a "big star" who does not like Axon, suggesting that Axon is isolated, and the revelation also triggered a fierce "discussion" between pan Weili and Wang Hailin, a well-known football media person, on the public platform. Some fans even speculated that this "big star" was a certain international footballer surnamed Zhang. So is this really the case?
In fact, this kind of thing cannot be clearly answered, because there will be no official or personal statement from the person concerned. But the Internet rumors are not empty, so we can only look at the possibilities through analysis.
First of all, the biggest difference between naturalized player internationals and domestic internationals is the cultural difference. Although naturalized players fight the pitch and even have a better desire to win, this is only reflected in football, and in culture and life they still tend to their home country Brazil. In particular, this group of Brazilian players who have no blood naturalization will return to Brazil for a vacation regardless of the league break or the holiday when the epidemic in Brazil is still under control. So they are more recognized with their own culture and their Brazilian circles. It's hard to get along with our internationals, and this off-court culture more or less affects the inside of the stadium and even the dressing room.
Second, the salary of naturalized players. Not to mention the money spent on their nationality change, let's look at the salaries of naturalized players, Axon's annual salary is about 10 million euros after tax, Fernando 8 million euros and Luo Guofu 5.5 million euros. That's ten times or more than the salaries of top-paid internationals, and they're far from ten times as effective. This is also a relative obstacle to their getting along.
Recently, the Russian media footballhd published an op-ed article saying: It will not be long before players like Axon and Fernando will fly to a country far away from China, but closer to them. Even though they once didn't have a good time in their own country, now they have earned a lot of money for their families.
So rather than saying that they are naturalized players, it is better to use heavy money to invite "short-term workers". So if the national football team can't enter the 2022 Qatar World Cup, then this group of naturalized players is basically meaningless. So it's possible to see them no matter what the fans or the national team players think of them.
