Here it is! Serginho arrives in Beijing with his family, reveals the progress of naturalization, and boasts about taking the national team to the World Cup
Serginho has recently become quite popular. As soon as he arrived in Beijing, he was surrounded by reporters asking questions. Everyone wants to know what changes this player, who is about to be naturalized, can bring to Chinese football, especially since the national team is currently in great need of help.
The first thing Serginho did upon returning to Beijing was to handle the naturalization procedures. He told reporters that he particularly wants to get a Chinese passport as soon as possible so that he can participate in important national team matches. He thinks that the current national team's tactics are too conservative, always playing with five defenders, which is boring to watch.
Last September, he watched the national team's match against Saudi Arabia in Dalian. That match really made him shake his head. Despite having more players and scoring a goal, they ended up conceding two goals, which was frustrating to watch.
He believes that the national team should change its tactics and not always retreat to defend. They should dare to push forward and play more offensively. However, whether these ideas can be realized depends on what the head coach, Ivan, thinks.
Nowadays, the cost of naturalization is much lower than before. Unlike the past when it could cost several hundred million yuan, this time the amount spent may not even be as much as his annual salary, which significantly reduces the pressure on the club.
This time, he came to Beijing determined to settle down here. He brought his wife and children with him. His eldest daughter has started learning Chinese and English, and his youngest daughter will attend kindergarten in Beijing. It seems that he really wants to develop well in China.
For Guoan, if he can complete the naturalization process as soon as possible, he can register as a domestic player, allowing the team to introduce another foreign player, which will definitely make the team stronger and increase their chances of winning the championship.
He is best at playing as an attacking midfielder, a position that the national team is most lacking in. He can not only provide assists for his teammates but also break through and shoot himself, which is very helpful in improving the team's offensive power.
He originally wanted the number 10 jersey, but Zhang Xizhe just renewed his contract and is still using that number, so he may have to switch to number 7. However, he said that the number is not the most important thing; what matters is being able to perform well on the field.
He is not yet very familiar with Guoan's situation. He only knows that it is an old-established team with a good fan base. However, the current head coach, Setien, has just arrived not long ago, and everyone is still in the period of getting to know each other.
He said that he needs some time to adapt to the team's tactical style because every coach has different ideas and training methods. But he believes that he can quickly integrate into the team.
He thinks that Guoan is still a strong team with many technically skilled players. If everyone can cooperate well and play good offense, they will definitely achieve good results in the new season.
The team is now preparing to go to Haikou for training. He said that he can't wait to train with his teammates and hopes to quickly find his competitive form to contribute to the team.
By settling his family in Beijing, it shows that he is sincerely interested in developing in China and is not just here to pass the time. This attitude is worthy of affirmation and serves as a good example for other foreign players who want to develop in China.
He is letting his children learn Chinese, which indicates that he really wants to integrate into Chinese culture and is not indecisive. Such players can truly contribute to Chinese football.
He said that the living environment in Beijing is quite good, and the children like it here. He believes that over time, the whole family will become more and more accustomed to life in China.
For future plans, he said that he hopes to play football in China until retirement and then might consider working in football-related fields in China. It can be seen that he really wants to develop here in the long term.
He thinks that although Chinese football is currently facing some difficulties, as long as everyone works together, the situation will gradually improve, and he also wants to contribute to the development of Chinese football.
After watching the national team's matches, he feels that the team should change its current conservative tactics, dare to push forward, and play more offensively to perform better in international competitions.
As an attacking midfielder, he hopes to create more offensive combinations in the national team, making the team's offense more layered and not always relying on defensive counterattacks to play games.
He said that his experience playing football in Europe tells him that modern football increasingly emphasizes offense. If you always retreat to defend, it is difficult to achieve good results.
He is still very confident about the future of the national team. He thinks that there are many good players in the team, and as long as they find the right tactics, their performance will definitely improve.
He said that he will quickly adapt to the national team's tactical system and also convey his own ideas to the coach, hoping to provide some suggestions for the improvement of the team's tactics.
