Recently, according to domestic media reports, Serginho and Little Oscar will basically be unable to represent the national team in the World Cup qualifiers in March due to time constraints and the possibility of incomplete procedures.
It is reported that the winter transfer window for the Chinese Super League will officially close on February 18, leaving less than a month. If the naturalization procedures cannot be completed by February 18, Serginho and Little Oscar will only be able to participate in the next season of the Chinese Super League as foreign players at that time. Therefore, the teams they are in may lose motivation and postpone the naturalization operation. After all, the money for naturalization is paid by the club. If they can only be used as foreign players after naturalization, Yunnan Yulong and Beijing Guoan probably don't want to be "suckers".
At present, the national team is training in Haikou. Due to their identity not fully meeting the requirements, Serginho and Little Oscar have not been selected for the training list. According to the schedule, the national team will challenge Saudi Arabia away and Australia at home on March 20 and March 25 respectively.
Why is the naturalization process of Serginho and Little Oscar so slow? Is it stuck at which link? Is it because the interests cannot be balanced on all sides? Why can Indonesia, the opponent in the same group as the national team, quickly naturalize? If the national team loses both matches in March, what is the point of such naturalization?
What do you think is the reason for this? Is it a feature of China?
