In the Norwegian First Division, Hou Yongyong has been a star this season, winning the league's Golden Boot honor, highlighting his attacking talent as a midfielder that should not be underestimated. Despite being naturalized, he has yet to play for the national soccer team. It was only when Ivan became the head coach of the national team that his talent was recognized. However, Ivan's early days in the job were too busy with games to give Hou Yongyong a chance to integrate into the team. The Battle of Japan came to an end.
Wu Xiaohai, Yang Rui'an and Zheng Zeyan, three players with Chinese blood in their veins, seem to have a smooth road to naturalization. Beijing Guoan has already thrown an olive branch to Yang Rui'an, and once they succeed, he will be able to represent the national football team next year. Zheng Zeyan has made it clear that he is eager to be naturalized and is being approached by Chinese Super League teams. Although Wu Xiaohai has been rumored to be with the national football team for a long time, no substantial progress has been seen. However, it has been recently rumored that he may join the Chinese Super League, a move that may signal the beginning of his naturalization.
Zhang Yuning has emerged as the unchosen striker in the Ivan-coached national football squad. Despite his talent, Wu Lei seems slightly out of place in Ivan's system. If the national football team absorbs the naturalization of these five players, the fighting force will jump dramatically, and the most powerful national football team in history may be recreated. At that time, the national football front line will be more abundant, Serginho may even replace Wu Lei to become the first. Imagine Zhang Yuning and Sergio teaming up to hit the opponent's goal, it will be a heart-stopping picture!
