With the Chinese soccer team's victory in the third phase of the Asian zone of the Qatar World Qualification Tournament and the 12-team tournament, the CFA has made it clear that it will go all out to support the team's next phase of preparations and competitions. In order to provide the team with all kinds of high-quality security services, the CFA will also help the team to optimize the staffing. June 30, Shenzhen, heavy news, the 32-year-old Brazilian player Caldecott is expected to become the seventh naturalized player after Aixon, Li Ke, Fernando, Jiang Guangtai, Luo Guofu, Alan. It is reported that Caldecott's naturalization and FIFA membership change procedures have entered the substantive stage of operation. This undoubtedly shows the determination and confidence of the CFA in the national football team's impact on the Qatar World Cup.
June 30, online circulation of the "Shenzhen football Brazilian foreign aid Caldecott admitted naturalization" news. Although the CFA has not yet made an official response to this, but according to the Beiqing-Beijing headline reporter revealed that after the end of the 40 strong match, the CFA has communicated with the Shenzhen Football Club on related matters, Caldecott is stepping into the naturalization process.
As a matter of fact, long before the national football team participated in the second half of the 40-team tournament, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) had the intention to strengthen the national football team's naturalized player lineup. The Brazilian striker Teixeira, who helped the former Jiangsu team win the Chinese Super League title last season, was originally the CFA's main target for naturalized players, but the matter came to an end for some reason.
Whether or not Caldecott was selected by the CFA as a "backup" for Teixeira is difficult to determine. But Caldecott's naturalization and the FIFA membership change process can start, thanks in large part to the success of the Chinese team to qualify for the 12-team tournament. As the Chinese team moves closer to the Qatar World Cup finals, both the CFA, the national soccer team, and the fans expect the team to be successful in the final leg of the World Qualification Tournament.
Compared with the Top 40, the teams in the Top 12 are stronger in overall strength, and the game is more difficult, bringing more pressure to the teams. In the case of the epidemic, their own technical ability is limited, the Chinese team wants to make a difference in the 12 strong match, we must improve their own hard power as much as possible. Introducing powerful naturalized players may not be a long-term solution, but improving the competitiveness of the national football team in the short term is undoubtedly effective. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the national soccer team will be the target of the draft to Caldecott.
Caldecott officially joined the former Chongqing Lifan club on July 21, 2016, and by July 21 this year, he will have worked and lived in China for five consecutive years, which meets the conditions for naturalization, as well as FIFA's conditions for players to change their membership. The schedule shows that the 12-team tournament will be opened on September 2 this year, so even if Caldecott can't catch up with the early matches due to formalities, under normal circumstances, he may also catch up with most of the remaining rounds of the 12-team tournament.
On the evening of the 30th, Shenzhen club sources said the club will fully support the national team. Although Caldecott is 32 years old, but his height of 1.9 meters tall in recent years in the Chinese Super League continues to maintain a high level of competition. Whether or not he can serve as a starter in the current national soccer team, at least he can be a powerful addition to the team's forward line.
