In an interview, 32-year-old naturalized fighter Luo Guofu revealed that he plans to return to the Brazilian league or opt for retirement once his contract is fulfilled. Currently earning a whopping RMB 43.35 million per year, his contract is set to expire at the end of 2022, when he will also reach the ripe old age of 34.
Meanwhile, the situation of Aixon is also worrying. As the first naturalized player in the history of Chinese soccer, his performance in this game is still not satisfactory. In the first half, the penalty kick he took was pounced by Han Jiaqi, which made people sigh: "That once scored like the wind Aixon, where did he go?"
During his stint at Evergrande last season, Iverson contributed just six goals, including four goals in motion and two free kicks, and no goals in motion.
Luckily for us, the Guangzhou derby, the opening game of the Chinese Super League, is about to take place. In the first half, Liao Lixiang assisted Alan to take the lead, who played moderately well.
Fernando is known for his signature speedy runs in the Chinese Super League, and now that he's wearing the national soccer uniform, expect "Moto" to shine on a bigger stage! At 28 years old, he's in his prime, but it's a shame that his speed seems to have disappeared after he became a naturalized player.
Beijing Guoan brought in Li Ke and Hou Yongyong, and Shandong Luneng brought in Delgado. However, these players are not enough to support the national football team to enter the World Cup stage. The biggest potential naturalization target, Teixeira, was once considered to be the 11th naturalized player.
However, Li Ke, Hou Yongyong, and Delgado have all failed to take up their roles.
Only Teixeira, who has earned enough money that it doesn't matter if he works or not, is now in retirement mode.
Li Ke Late 2022 29 years old
Exxon, June 2023, age 34.
Fernando June 2023 31 years old
Alain Late 2023 34 years old
Jiang Guangtai Late 2023 29 years old
Apart from Lok Kwok Fu, other naturalized players are not in a better position. Once their high-paying contracts expire, they are afraid that they will turn against the team, and only the World Cup is on their minds. But if they don't make it to the World Cup this time, the expiration of their contracts may be the time for them to leave the team.
