In the countdown to the 18-team tournament, the authoritative domestic sports media, Soccer Daily, has a keen insight into the timing of the event and writes an article calling for the CFA to strike while the iron is hot and recruit fresh blood - naturalized players. It is reported that Wu Xiaohai, a fast side horse who plays in the North American Soccer League, Yang Rui'an, a side wing in the Dutch B-League, and Sergio and Delgado, veterans of the Chinese Super League, all meet the criteria for naturalization. Several of them are expected to wear the national team's uniform in March next year to help the World Cup!
Sources in the industry have revealed that Wu Xiaohai and Yang Rui'an are in close contact with Chinese Super League powerhouse Beijing Guoan, and may move to the Chinese Super League when the winter transfer window opens. And Serginho's transfer is nearly complete, the destination is also Beijing Guoan. This seems to indicate that the new round of naturalization process of the national football team will be led by Beijing Guoan. It is reported that China's head coach Ivan and Serginho have had in-depth exchanges, the latter is full of enthusiasm to represent China, and Ivan is also fond of the versatile player in front of the field. With the veteran's push, the road to naturalization seems to be smooth.
The addition of the newly naturalized players will undoubtedly bring about an improvement in the offensive and defensive levels of the Chinese team, making the journey back to the World Cup a promising one!
