In the Norwegian First Division, Hou Yongyong's performance this season was like a bright star, and he was honored as the Golden Boot of the league. Although his attacking talent as a midfielder has been evident for a long time, he has seldom played for the national team since his naturalization. When Ivan took over as head coach of the national team, he spoke highly of Hou Yongyong's potential. However, Hau had been playing in Norway before Ivan took over, and the time was short for him to return and integrate with the team. As the battle for Japan comes to a close, the
Wu Xiaohai, Yang Rui'an and Zheng Zeyan, three players of Chinese descent, the road to naturalization seems to be smooth. Beijing Guoan has already made contact with Yang Rui'an, who is expected to play for his country next year if they are successful. Zheng Zeyan has expressed his willingness to be naturalized, and Chinese Super League teams are also actively contacting him. Wu Xiaohai has been rumored to be in contact with the national team, and although there has been no substantial progress, recent reports indicate that he may join the Chinese Super League, a move that suggests that his naturalization is imminent.
Zhang Yuning has become Ivan's second choice to coach the national team, although Wu Lei is equally good, but under Ivan's tactical system, it seems to be a little difficult to adapt. If the national football team will naturalize these five players, the fighting power will leap, and the strongest national football team in history is expected to be recreated. The choice of striker position will be more abundant, Serginho may even replace Wu Lei's starting position. Imagine Zhang Yuning and Sergio partnering in the front line, what a wonderful picture that would be!
