With the announcement of the draw results for the round of 18 of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup, the Chinese national men's football team has once again become the focus of attention of fans. For the Chinese national football team, the result of the group draw this time was not very friendly, as they once again entered the "group of death". In the round of 18, the Chinese national football team was divided into a challenging group, competing with the Japanese national football team, the Australian national football team and the Saudi national football team. Compared with the last round of 12, the Chinese national football team will face new opponents - Bahrain national football team and Indonesia national football team, while the previous Oman national football team and Vietnam national football team are no longer their competitors.
Just as the Chinese national football team is preparing for a new round of 18 matches, a new wave has been set off in the domestic football world: the introduction of new naturalized players. This move aims to improve the overall strength of the Chinese national football team and provide them with a better performance in the next tournaments. In the latest development, the Chinese Football Association has obtained a list of 18 potential naturalized players, of which four players have already qualified for the round of 18, and they will help the Chinese national football team on the road to qualifying.
First, let's take a look at these new faces preparing for the round of 18: Oscar, a sharp knife from the Congo in Africa, who plays for the Cangzhou Lions in the Chinese Super League. He has lived in China for 5 years and has become a naturalized member. As a striker, Oscar showed excellent offensive talent in the Cangzhou Lions, and also attracted the attention of the Chinese national football team with his excellent skills. It is reported that Oscar has repeatedly expressed his willingness to represent the Chinese national football team, and said that he "has a Congolese face, but a Chinese heart". His addition will undoubtedly provide strong support for the forward attack of the Chinese national football team.
The second is Serginho, a midfielder from Brazil who currently plays for Chinese Super League side Changchun Yatai. As a rigid need for midfielders, Serginho will play a vital role in the midfield organization and offensive tandem of the national football team. It is reported that he will complete his five-year residency in China in January next year, and he will also be eligible to represent the Chinese national football team in the top 18.
He was followed by Rakuten, a 20-year-old player who is also a second-generation Chinese. Currently, he plays for Ajax, a powerhouse in the Eredivisie, and as the brains of the midfield, Lotte will play an excellent role in the playmaking and passing of the midfield of the Chinese national football team. His background also makes him eligible to be naturalized by the Chinese national football team. The participation of the young and promising Lotte will surely bring new vitality and opportunities to the Chinese national football team.
The last new addition to the round of 18 is Wu Xiaohai, a 25-year-old midfielder who currently plays for Vancouver White Waves. Born in Portugal and mixed Chinese descent, he meets the conditions for naturalization by the Chinese national football team. His father is Portuguese and his mother is Chinese, which also makes him full of love and a sense of belonging to the Chinese national football team. The addition of Wu Xiaohai will provide more options and depth for the Chinese national football team, adding new highlights to the team's squad.
The addition of these four naturalized players has undoubtedly injected new energy into the improvement of the strength of the Chinese national football team. At present, the Chinese Football Association is also actively exploring and looking for more suitable naturalized players, paving the way for the future development of the Chinese national football team. Behind these efforts, it also highlights the desire of the Chinese football community for the achievements of the national team, hoping that the national football team can perform more dazzlingly in future competitions.
So, for the Chinese national football team, which has been in the spotlight, what does the addition of newly naturalized players mean? First of all, they bring a new element to the composition of the national team. With these new faces from all over the world, the overall strength of the national football team will surely be improved. For example, Oscar's forward attack, Serginho's midfield control, Lotte's organizational passing, etc., will bring more possibilities to the technical and tactical system of the national football team. At the same time, this also brings new challenges and opportunities to the coaching staff of the national team, how to mobilize, organize and arrange these new forces, so that the overall performance of the team can be released to the greatest extent, will become an important task for the coaching staff.
In addition, it will also bring a new development path for Chinese football. Through the introduction of naturalized players, Chinese football will be exposed to more international football concepts and standards. This will help promote the progress of Chinese football and improve the overall level. At the same time, it is believed that with the addition of these naturalized players, the international image of Chinese football will also be enhanced, ushering in new opportunities for the more open and diversified development of Chinese football.
However, it is worth noting that bringing in new naturalized players also needs to be treated with caution. The implementation of the naturalization policy must pay attention to the introduction of talents and the cultivation of local players at the same time, and cannot rely on external forces for a long time and ignore the cultivation of domestic players. In addition, it is necessary for the Football Association and clubs to work together to ensure the introduction of naturalized players and the improvement of the training system, and provide them with a better training and living environment, so that they can better integrate into Chinese football and Chinese society.
Finally, as the national football team prepares for the round of 18, the addition of newly naturalized players will undoubtedly inject new impetus into the future development of the Chinese national men's football team. On this journey to impact the World Cup, the Chinese national football team needs not only technical and tactical improvement, but also a fresh passion and confidence. It is hoped that the addition of these new members can inject new energy into the national team and jointly write a new chapter in the development of Chinese football.
Prior to this, the preparations for the national football team were also in full swing. Teams have been training to meet the next round of challenges. Among them, there are not only veterans such as Wu Lei, Hao Junmin and other players who have served the country for many years, but also new generation players such as Zhang Yuning and Liu Yiming who have accepted the national recruitment and worked hard for the national football team to qualify.
For the current Chinese national football team, the preparation for the top 18 is also facing some challenges. In recent years, the Chinese national football team has suffered unfavorable results in some international competitions, leaving fans disappointed with the performance of the national football team. In the group stage of the Asian Cup at the beginning of this year, the national football team unfortunately failed to qualify, which undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the future of the national football team. In the just-concluded round of 36, the national football team advanced thrillingly, which also highlights the strength and difficulties of the national football team to a certain extent.
The Chinese national football team is also constantly seeking ways to improve its overall strength in the preparation for the game, and the introduction of new naturalized players is obviously part of it. In recent years, Chinese football has been exploring and promoting the implementation of the naturalization policy, hoping to introduce more excellence to the Chinese national team
