Teixeira would have been able to participate in the Singapore tournament held in March, but unfortunately, no golden owner was willing to finance his appearance. This also led to a sudden change of plans for the previously set players when Ivankovic took over the national team. I think this is important and will have some impact on Ivanovic. Considering that he, as a foreign manager, should be more advanced in terms of tactics, it is important to equip the manager with the right players in order for him to achieve good results. And to equip with the right players, one can go for naturalized players who should be able to show fight in a short period of time.
Whether it's Ackerson, Jiang Guangtai, Fernando, or Locke, Locke might think he's not in great shape right now. I think with the exception of Luo Guofu, all of these players mentioned will have a bigger role to play on the field than our homegrown players. For example, although Ixon is older, he can play an important role in key moments if he plays half a game, even if it's only for 30 minutes, as a player who cooperates with his teammates. I think in terms of mental quality and ability, these foreigners are better than our domestic players.
Therefore, I think if Chinese soccer wants to make an impact on the next World Cup in the short term, they have to think more in terms of planning, even if they need to invest more money. I believe it is possible to achieve results in the short term, just like Teixeira. When he played for Jiangsu Suning, he scored a lot of goals and performed well in the Chinese Super League and AFC Champions League. At his peak, Teixeira even drew interest from Premier League giants Liverpool. All in all, if Teixeira can really join the Chinese Super League, it will definitely be a good thing for the Chinese Super League. The above is my personal opinion.
