Teixeira left the Chinese Super League, everyone thought that the naturalization of Chinese soccer wave has come to an end, it is not surprising that the Shenzhen Football Club's foreign aid Caldecott has recently admitted that he is actively engaged in the naturalization process, not only that, a Chinese player's goal of naturalization is also gradually revealed. Recently, the Scottish Edinburgh newspaper interviewed Chinese-Scottish player Jones, who revealed that he maintains communication with the CFA and is expected to receive an invitation for naturalization.
Jones was blunt: "I did communicate with the CFA and submitted my information to them. However, due to the impact of the epidemic and the domestic soccer environment, traveling to China seems unlikely at this time. But we have always kept in touch and they often ask me about my performances and stats this season." Born in Scotland to a Hong Kong Chinese mother, Jones would have no difficulty naturalizing as a player of Chinese descent. The 23-year-old center back comes from the youth academy of Scottish Premier League rivals Hearts.
Jones had been looking for opportunities in the Scottish game, but failed to do so, so four years ago he chose to go to the United States, playing soccer while furthering his education, and now plays for the Kentucky Wildcats. His characteristics are quite similar to Jiang Guangtai, both are defenders, despite being less than 1.8 meters tall, but with outstanding physical qualities, fast and flexible. He can play multiple positions in the backline, and crucially, he is younger than Jiang Guangtai, with huge potential for development.
In fact, China has a number of naturalized players, including many Chinese players, but the only ones who really play in the Chinese Super League and even enter the national team are Li Ke and Jiang Guangtai. Hou Yongyong, who had joined Guoan together with Li Ke, has had very few chances to play in the last two months.
