Why on earth can't naturalized players appear together? This question was answered by Chen Yiming. What is the motivation behind the FA's rule? Checking Ran Xiongfei's report may reveal the answer. Why can't naturalized players play together? One obvious reason is that the competition for a place on the men's soccer team has intensified since the FA implemented the salary limit. After all, joining the men's soccer team can increase a player's top salary by as much as 20%, which makes a lot of players want to be part of the team at all costs, but just joining the men's soccer team is not enough, they need to compete for the precious opportunity to play. As long as they have the chance to step on the field, it is not only the opportunity that they seek, but also the success.
The battle for a place in China's men's soccer team has reportedly morphed into a 5-million-person tussle between 2018 and 2019. A few years ago, a club in a central province had promoted Wu and Zhao to the national team and then resold them to a Chinese Super League powerhouse at a high price.
So why can't naturalized players play at the same time? The FA's move is meant to provide more opportunities for local players to showcase their talents and ensure that the investment is not in vain. Does this argument hold water? And how do you feel about this issue?
