On July 4 in the Beijing time zone, South Korean sports media outlet sportalkorea released an in-depth analysis focusing on the topic of the naturalization of Chinese national team player Caldecott. The media outlet stated that with the lackluster performance of Eickson, the Chinese men's soccer team is in dire need of a strong player who can carry the load on the offensive side of the ball.
According to sportalkorea, the Chinese men's football team is stepping up its naturalization process in a bid to take its place on the 2022 World Cup stage. With the help of naturalized players such as Ackerson, Allan, Jiang Guangtai and Li Ke, the Chinese team managed to qualify for the second half of the 40-team tournament.
The article further states that in the grouping for the Round of 12, China is grouped with Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Vietnam. In terms of power comparison, China is expected to finish fourth in the group. However, the addition of naturalized players has injected the team and its fans.
With Eickson's up and down form, the Chinese men's soccer team is now desperately looking for a strong player on the offensive line, and Caldecott has thus become the hottest candidate for naturalization.
