After the fierce competition in the first stage of the 12-team tournament, the three naturalized players have all bid farewell to the Chinese Super League. One of the major issues facing new Chinese head coach Li Xiaopeng is how to ensure that these players can maintain their competitive status after returning to Brazil. Once these players face the plight of not being able to play or train regularly, it will undoubtedly have an impact on whether or not they can be included in the national team roster next January.
Among the naturalized Brazilian players, Lo Guofu, as the last player to leave China, had expressed his deep emotion towards China in front of the media and expressed his willingness to stay in China and continue to sweat on the green field. Recently, a fan shared a private message conversation with Lok Kwok Fu on social media, in which Lok Kwok Fu revealed that despite not being able to continue to represent Guangzhou, he plans to return to China in January next year to give his best for the remaining 12-team matches.
