Recently, domestic media disclosed that China's national soccer team has targeted a new target in its naturalization program - Slovenia's Chinese-born player Wang Hanlong. The young man, who is regarded as the ace of Chinese soccer, has been called up by the Slovenian national team for his exceptional talent. It is worth noting that Wang Hanlong signed a professional contract at the age of 16, a feat that highlights his extraordinary potential. Even more glamorously, he won the Silver Boot award in the Slovenian U15 League for his remarkable goal scoring rate.
Wang Hanlong's performance quickly attracted the attention of many Chinese fans. He has expressed his willingness to play for the national football team and naturalize once the right opportunity arises. The rising star would require little additional financial investment for the FA to complete the naturalization. In retrospect, the CFA has allowed naturalized players to join the national team, and Evergrande FC has even gone one step ahead and invested heavily in naturalizing Brazilian players such as Ickxon.
After naturalized players such as Ackerson, Allan and Lo Guofu received over 100 million in family settlement money, Evergrande FC expected them to shine on the Chinese Super League and AFC Champions League stage, as well as represent the national team in style. However, these naturalized players in the late stages of their careers did not perform as expected for the national team, with Fernand refusing to play many times due to injuries, much to the disappointment of the fans. In the end, the national soccer team went out early in the World Cup qualifiers and missed out on a spot in the Qatar World Cup.
With the failure of the naturalization attempts of Brazilian stars Aixon, Allan, and Lo Guofu, fans generally agreed that the FA should focus more on young players with potential in its future naturalization strategy. As a result, rising stars like Wang Hanlong came into the FA's sights. As long as he maintains a high level of goal-scoring efficiency in Europe and is expected to land in Europe's top five leagues, the FA will continue to pay attention to his performance in Slovenia. At that time, the introduction of Wang Hanlong, I believe that his strength will be able to live up to expectations, so that the fans rekindle hope.
