With the announcement that Luo Guofu had terminated his contract with Guangzhou, only Jiang Guangtai, one of Guangzhou's original six naturalized players - Alan, Luo Guofu, Gaolat, Ickerson, Jiang Guangtai and Fernando - now remains in the team and is participating in the second phase.

At present, it seems that Li Xiaopeng coached men's national team first training is scheduled to open on January 10, Jiang Guangtai's participation in the training is not in doubt. However, three naturalized Brazilian players are more likely to be absent from the new national team training. As it is routine for players to enter the country to undergo 14+7 days of isolation, after which it is still necessary to decide whether to report to the national team on a case-by-case basis, how to cope with this under the premise of guaranteeing a lineup of players for Li Xiaopeng's coaching team is an urgent issue for the leadership team to address.
