Originally, Teixeira was expected to make his debut at the tournament in Singapore in March, however, the lack of financial sponsorship has put this expectation to rest. This turn of events has forced Ivankovic to make temporary adjustments to his original player lineup plan after taking over the national team coaching reins. This situation, which I think is crucial, will undoubtedly pose a considerable challenge to Ivankovic. As a foreign coach, he may be unique in his tactical layout, but the right configuration of players is key to realizing a good coaching team. And the right players may be able to quickly improve their combat effectiveness in the short term through the naturalization route.
Take Ickerson, Jiang Guangtai, Fernando, and even Locke for example, even though Locke admits to be in poor form, among these players, their on-field influence seems to exceed that of our local players. Take Ackerson for example, despite his advanced age, as long as he can suit up, even if it's just for half a game, as a team player, even if it's just for a short 30-minute appearance, he can still show a key role at critical moments. In my opinion, these foreigners are clearly superior to domestic players in terms of mental quality and ability.
Therefore, if Chinese soccer wants to make a short-term impact on the next World Cup, it has to use its brains in planning, even if it means extra financial investment. I believe that short-term breakthroughs are possible, and Teixeira is proof of that. During his time at Jiangsu Suning, he scored many goals, both in the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League. Even in Teixeira's prime, Premier League giants Liverpool were salivating over him. Overall, if Teixeira can join the Chinese Super League, it will be a great joy for the Chinese Super League. These are my personal opinions.
