Lo Kok Fu first shared his recent life in Brazil. He said, "I'm doing well now, after playing our match against Vietnam, I've been waiting for an offer with my country, but unfortunately, I ended up choosing the Brazilian team Minero Americas. I chose here for competitive reasons."
Speaking about the naturalization process, Lowe revealed, "It was only 10 minutes after I got the call that I decided to accept the naturalization because I love this country so much. I wanted to be at my best for the

Expecting the national soccer team to find the confidence of a strong player
Lowe made special mention of the fact that during the Big 12 tournament, the team that was replaced by the then
national soccer team
Skipper Li Tie replaced the field of the past. He said: "At that time, many people asked me, I also said privately, at that time, the referee let me off the field, I saw the sign raised is not me, I made a gesture, this is not to the head coach has a problem, this is the referee's problem. Then my number plate was raised and I went down. Li Tie also asked me if I had a problem with him and I explained to him that it was a misunderstanding. I would also like to say to Li Tie that I hope he enjoys his life, settles down and returns in the future to the
national soccer team
The head coach position, I think he deserves it."
On why he missed the final two rounds of the 12-team tournament, Lo explained, "In the end, I didn't go to the national team because I didn't train systematically while the rest of my teammates practiced, so I couldn't say I'd go and play for 15 minutes and hold up the team's training and matches, so I might as well tell them ahead of time that I couldn't play, so that someone who was in better condition could play."
with respect to
national soccer team
, Luo Guofu expressed his views. He said: "We have to change our position, to find the confidence of the strong, rather than facing the strong team to go through the motions, barely draw on the line, soccer is not like this, the soccer field is not sure of the strong and weak, we have to go on the field is to think of winning Japan, to have such thinking and ideas, every game to win the mentality to face, rather than put themselves in a very low The square position. Our set of players in Sharon is much higher than the national team, because in the national team, we are just working very hard on defense all over the field, but we need to do a good job of attacking, and we need to attack and defend in order to get good results."
Lok Kok Fu also mentioned

On his willingness to continue playing for our country, Fernando replied, "I don't think there is anyone who is more anxious than I am, no one who wants to play for the
national soccer team
