Concerns about the small naturalized striker's performance in the China-Australia clash have prevented him from showing his talents. Had he not been unable to continue due to injury, he would have been expected to play a full game to help our team take advantage of a matchup with a significant difference in strength. Luo Guofu, with his powerful impact and exquisite footwork, contributed a lot to the offensive end of our team, with excellent performance after excellent performance, responding to the outside world's doubts about his ability, the "wild ox" has once again become the sharp edge of the national football team.
As in the last round of the China-Australia match, Luo Guofu was very active in the China-Australia clash since the beginning of the match. In addition to roaming freely in the attacking end, he also penetrated into the heart of the national defense many times to solve the crisis for the team.
From the substitute appearance in the second round of the China-Japan battle to the sixth round of the China-Australia double-header, Luo Guofu has accumulated 221 minutes for the national football team in the 12-team tournament. During this period, he also scored a wonderful goal for the national football team after coming on as a substitute in the second half of the China-Saudi Arabia match, showing his excellent offensive ability. Since the last round of China-Africa battle, Luo Guofu has become a regular in the starting lineup of the national football team, and has become a key figure in the offensive end of the team.
At the age of 33 and still able to find his best form, Luo Guofu's rejuvenation is no coincidence. In July of this year, after the first phase of the Chinese Super League match between Guangzhou and Chongqing, then Guangzhou manager Carlo Cannavaro revealed a secret: Luo Guofu had lost 10 kilograms in the previous match. Behind Luo Guofu's successful weight loss was his grueling workouts and strong will. As a teammate who knows him well commented, "Whether in training or on the field, Luo Guofu is a real fighter, and he deserves the title of 'Bison'."
In addition to his love of soccer, the desire to play in the World Cup drives Lowe to keep moving forward. He said, "For me, participating in the World Cup is the most important wish. I came here (to the World Qualifying Stadium) in the hope of helping the Chinese team realize their desire to reach the World Cup, as well as realizing my personal dream."
At the beginning of 2018, as Luo Guofu joined Meizhou Hakka in the Central League, he was given comments such as "decline in form and relegation to the Central League". When he was signed by Guangzhou (Evergrande) as a naturalized player, many people were puzzled. However, Luo Guofu has gradually regained his confidence through his own hard work and has become one of the most reliable attackers in the national soccer team.
After receiving a yellow card in the China-Australia match, Luo Guofu is out of the national football team's next away clash with Japan due to the accumulation of two yellow cards. However, this does not affect his loyalty to the team. It is reported that Luo Guofu will return to China with the national football team and then communicate with the club about the next step. Although Guangzhou may not be able to participate in the second phase of the Chinese Super League due to the financial crisis, Luo Guofu is ready to continue to play for the national soccer team and will finish the game in the most professional manner, regardless of whether he is out of the lineup or not.
