The first naturalization of Chinese men's football began in 2019! When the wave of naturalization came at that time, Guangzhou shareholders Guangzhou Evergrande brought in seven naturalized players in one go, Beijing Guoan also brought in two naturalized players, and Shandong Taishan brought in one naturalized player. Among the seven naturalized players brought in by Guangzhou, Golat is not eligible to represent the Chinese men's football team as he has stayed for five years. Luo Guofu is 36 years old! He is currently playing in the Beach Soccer League. Alan, now playing for Qingdao West Coast. Eckerson, now playing for Chengdu Rongcheng. Fernando, playing for Shandong Taishan. Jiang Guangtai, who is now two for Shanghai Harbor. Xiao Tao, who has returned to Beijing.
In terms of overall naturalization, the results have been mediocre! Of course, this has a lot to do with the employment of the head coach! During Li Tie's tenure, the naturalized players' help to the team was limited because the naturalized players' appearances were restricted. In the post-Jankovic era, naturalized players were almost abandoned in official matches, so they were ineffective. On the contrary, under Ivankovic, naturalized players were most effective!
Currently, naturalization is the trend in world football! If Chinese men's football wants to transform quickly, naturalization is a shortcut! But at the moment, the CFA has not taken any substantial action!
