It seems to be banking on the power of naturalized players to make an impact on the

. However, the former star player coached by Xu Genbao

A disappointing performance in Spain couldn't help but make the crowd realize the indispensability of naturalized players.
In fact.

One does not have to rely on naturalized players to set foot in the
World Cup
. Looking back at the period when Milo coached

Even without naturalized players, Asian soccer was able to make it to the World Cup, and the strength of Asian soccer at that time was evident. On the contrary, today, the naturalized players do not seem to make the

The standard of the game has improved, but instead it has dropped to second or third rate in Asia.
Twenty years ago, Xu Genbao had put forward the idea of naturalization of foreign players, this proposal has been coldly met, but Xu Genbao's foresight should not be ignored. In recent years, many people in the soccer industry to naturalization phenomenon tend to rush, is it just by Xu Genbao naturalization theory of misguided?
Advocates of naturalization can always find two main reasons:
1. We as a nation are not born to play soccer.
2. The number of people playing soccer in our country is too small.
Xu Genbao once thought that the Chinese people are not very suitable for soccer, then why do they still want to promote soccer youth training in our country? Is it just to collect money? Obviously, this view is untenable, especially for our soccer workers. However, the facts seem to prove it: in the past, our men's soccer team once dominated Asia, and Japan and South Korea men's soccer team is difficult to distinguish between them, and Japan and South Korea men's soccer team in the international arena of Europe and the United States pose a threat to the strongest teams.
Regarding the small population playing soccer in China, the truth is not true. According to Nanfang.com, the soccer population in Guangdong Province has reached 16.98 million, accounting for 17.6%. In addition, the population directly involved in soccer accounted for 12.9%. (See Guangdong Media: Guangdong's soccer population is planned to reach 16.98 million, accounting for 17.6% of the population.) With this ratio, Shanghai also has a soccer population of nearly two million. Why is it that with such a large base, we are still unable to produce top-class players in Asia? Instead, we have to spend huge sums of money to bring in so-called outcasts from overseas, only to end up losing face in Spain? Obviously, these so-called youth training bases have buried the talent of our soccer talents.
If China can popularize soccer, break the monopoly of the so-called elite youth training bases, and allow more youth training schools to discover soccer talents, then the revival of China's men's football is just around the corner, into the
World Cup
There's no need to rely on naturalization, either.
