Reporter Ji Yuyang's latest news, Ndombu's Chinese passport has been done, Chinese football ushered in the second naturalized player! Of course, this "naturalized" player is more special, it is reported that Shenhua helped him "restore" his nationality, and this player can not play for the national football team.
Ji Yuyang wrote on Weibo: "Insert a message: yesterday's warm-up match with Dalian Yifang opened the record for Shenhua, Ndumbu from Gabon, who restored his Chinese nationality, his Chinese passport has been completed." At present, the formalities for his participation in the Chinese Super League are only the last hurdle of the Chinese Football Association. "In the new season, Ndombu's position will be at the back, and it is reported that his Chinese name sounds a bit awkward.
Who is Ndombu? The main reason why Ndombu does not attract the attention of Hou Yongyong is that Ndombu has played 8 national team matches for Gabon, including the African Cup of Nations, so even if he is successfully naturalized, he can only play in the Chinese Super League and can no longer play for the Chinese national football team. From the resume point of view, although the national football team can not use him, but Shenhua has obtained a super strong reinforcement, Ndombu once represented Gabon, and Aubameyang participated in the London Olympic Games, the strength is not as good as foreign aid, but there are still some advantages compared with local players.
Born in 1992, Ndombu's father is Gabonese, his mother is Chinese, the two fell in love after their father studied in Zhejiang, and then Ndombu was born in Gabon's Port Ofir, and entered the Marseille echelon at the age of 14, becoming a supernova worth looking forward to in Europe. However, the development is still not a small gap compared to his former teammate Aubameyang. It is reported that Ndombu had applied for a Chinese passport and household registration when he was born, and this time he was "restoring his nationality". Like Hou Yongyong, Ndombu also came to his mother's country and became a Chinese.
That is to say, Ndombu became the second "naturalized player" in Chinese football, followed by Hou Yongyong and came to the forefront of this wave. In the new season, this dark-skinned player, don't mistake it for a foreign aid, he is already a Chinese local player! It is worth mentioning that there is already a mixed-race player in the Shenhua team, he is Eddie Francis, Eddie Francis is the first mixed-race player in China, who grew up in Chongming Genbao Football School. However, compared with Ndombu, Eddie Francis is completely a player with Chinese cultural influence, and Ndombu's first step after becoming a Chinese is to adapt to Chinese culture and Chinese football.
