Recently, the media broke the news that The Shenzhen team's Brazilian foreign aid Alain Kaldek is currently going through the relevant procedures for joining the Chinese nationality, hoping to play for the Chinese national team.
On 15 July 2016, the 27-year-old Kaldek moved from São Paulo, Brazil, to Chongqing Lifan for 5 million euros, where he scored 57 goals and 15 assists in 108 games and became captain. Until April 13 this year, he transferred to Shenzhen Football Club.
This summer, Kaldek will play in the Chinese Super League for five years, and according to FIFA regulations, Kaldek has met the relevant conditions for naturalization. It is revealed that once the national football team can successfully enter the top 12 of the World Preliminary Round, Kaldek's naturalization will be rapidly promoted, and it is even hoped that he will be able to represent the national football team in the second half of this year.
As early as September last year, Kaldek said in an exclusive interview with PP Sports, "I know that next year I will meet the conditions for naturalization, but then it will depend on all aspects of the situation, consider in many ways, as long as the conditions are right, I am willing to accept naturalization." ”
Recently, Kaldek was interviewed by the media, "My idea is very simple, about the issue of naturalization, in fact, I can not choose, but they choose me." Maybe things aren't as simple as they seem, and I don't know exactly how they work, but I know that part of it has already started, but it's not clear where it's going. I believe that if they trusted me and chose me, then I would be very happy. ”
The Shenzhen team also made a clear response to this matter, "If the national team really needs Kaldek, then the club will fully cooperate with the Chinese Football Association to implement the relevant procedures." ”
At present, after 5 rounds of the Chinese Super League, Shenzhen has accumulated 8 points in 5 wins, 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and is tied with Guangzhou for second place in Group A, of which Kaldek scored 3 goals and 2 assists, ranking second in the top scorer list. Although Kaldek has reached the age of 32, he still maintains a very high level of competition and status, whether it is strength or professionalism, it has been unanimously recognized by fans across the country.
Kaldek, a striker on the pitch, is tall, excellent in strength and bounce, strong in impact, and very good at judging the drop point, especially the head technique. From the current national football lineup, it is indeed necessary to have a strong center, Caldek's fulcrum role and forward scoring ability are urgently needed by the national football team, which will inevitably play a huge role in the round of 12 and become a major killer of the national football team to impact the World Cup!
Although Kaldek was selected for the Brazilian national youth team in 2009 and played in the World Youth Championship and eventually finished runner-up, according to FIFA's new regulations, this will not affect his naturalization for the national football team.
In the new phase of the national team training, the national football team recruited 5 naturalized players from Axon, Alan, Fernando, Jiang Guangtai and Li Ke, which once aroused widespread concern throughout Asia, and even produced some cynicism, but this obviously did not stop the national football team from continuing to naturalize.
