Currently, the national football team has just concluded a 10-day training camp. This time, only Hou Yongyong participated in the training, while other naturalized players were unable to report due to various reasons. Among them was Xiao Moto Fernandinho. Is Fernandinho injured? This is a message that the media has been reporting, but what is the real situation? Recently, Fernandinho, the naturalized forward of the national football team, updated his social media status, suspectedly starting to play street football in Brazil and making an appearance in the jersey of his new club. This move has attracted widespread attention from fans and the media. How did Fernandinho suddenly go abroad? As a beneficiary of the golden age of Chinese Super League football, Fernandinho's career has experienced a series of ups and downs. When Fernandinho joined the Chongqing team of the Chinese Super League, he quickly obtained a high-paying contract with his outstanding performance. During his multiple seasons with the Chongqing team, he repeatedly turned the tide at critical moments, becoming an important contributor to the team's relegation battle. With these outstanding performances, Fernandinho not only won the honor of the Chongqing team's top scorer but also successfully caught the wind of the Chinese Super League's naturalization policy, joining Evergrande and receiving a sky-high annual salary and resettlement fee. However, after being naturalized and gaining citizenship, Fernandinho failed to consistently demonstrate a convincing performance. In his national team career, Fernandinho repeatedly missed national team training for various reasons, leading to a low point in his career. Over the course of two years,…

Recently, China's national football team concluded their first training camp of the year in Haikou. The training was led by the Ivan coaching team, known for its high intensity, and although many players found it arduous, they generally believed that such high-quality training laid a solid foundation for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. However, just as the training ended, the national team suffered a major blow. On the eve of the Spring Festival, the national team announced a temporary disbandment to welcome the new year. But at the same time, a shocking message arrived: The naturalization path of the national team faced an unprecedented challenge. It is well-known that if the national team wants to advance to the 2026 World Cup, they must enhance their strength. While direct competitors like the Indonesian team and the Australian team are reinforcing themselves, it is difficult to achieve substantial improvements through current squad training alone. The fastest way to enhance strength is to continue naturalizing powerful foreign aid. But an unfavorable message has already appeared. The non-bloodline naturalization plan that the Football Association previously invested heavily in has suffered a severe setback. Four naturalized players, Elkeson, Alan, Fernandinho, and Li Ke, have announced that they will collectively withdraw from the Chinese national team and will not accept future call-ups. This news dealt a heavy blow to the morale and strength of the national team, adding many uncertainties to the upcoming Asian 18-team qualifiers. If the decline in form due to aging can be understood for Elkeson and Alan, the withdrawal of Fernandinho and…

In the world of football, every gathering of the national team carries the hopes and dreams of countless fans. However, recently, the Chinese national football team has been embroiled in an unexpected storm. After Ivan took over as the head coach of the national team, he intended to lead the team on a new journey. However, a series of events where players withdrew from the national team were like boulders causing waves on what was once a calm lake. The day after the announcement of the national team training roster, news spread rapidly through the football circle like a bombshell: another player had announced his withdrawal from the national team. This news immediately sparked high attention from the media and fans, with everyone speculating about which player had made such a decision. Since Ivan took office, such incidents have occurred multiple times, undoubtedly leaving him both angry and helpless. Ivan, this experienced coach, has always harbored the dream of leading Chinese football to new heights, but now faces the embarrassing situation of players continuously fleeing training sessions. In interviews with the media, Ivan's tone revealed obvious dissatisfaction and disappointment. He firmly stated that he would never again call up players who do not want to play for China, with a determined gaze and serious expression showing his emphasis and determination on this matter. Ivan later confirmed that naturalized forward Fernandinho would miss the latest national team training due to personal matters. "He will not return to the national team because of some personal issues." Ivan's words were concise and clear,…

It is well-known that recently, the national team's first training session for 2025 is underway. We are aware that this training is primarily aimed at addressing deficiencies in preparation for the World Cup qualifiers in March. During this training, the national team has called up a massive squad of 32 players, with only two naturalized players, Hou Yongyong and Fernandes. However, due to personal reasons, Fernandes did not report to the national team, which has caused much dissatisfaction and questioning among fans. Nevertheless, we do not need to dwell on Fernandes as time passes, and the national team is accelerating the naturalization procedures for Serginho and Little Oscar. If these two players complete their naturalization, it is likely that Fernandes' position in the national team will be lost. The addition of Serginho and Little Oscar will further intensify the competition for starting positions in the national team. Among them, the players affected include not only Fernandes but also Wei Shihao, who may become a victim. It should be noted that both Serginho and Little Oscar are offensive players, and their positions are in the midfield. Therefore, once they complete their naturalization procedures before March and can represent the national team in the World Cup qualifiers, changes in the starting lineup will occur in the midfield positions. In fact, in the past six World Cup qualifier matches, we can summarize that the starting forwards were Wu Lei + Zhang Yuning in the first round, Wu Lei + Fernandes in the second round, Zhang Yuning + Fernandes in the third round, Zhang…

Translation: The new training list for the men's football team includes a total of 32 players. The detailed list is shown in the figure below. In this issue, we will conduct a power ranking for them. Disclaimer: The author's ranking criteria are somewhat special, and the content does not smear any player. Those who wish to represent the national team in matches are all heroes. Fifth tier, with three players selected, including Wei Zhen, Fernandinho, and Yang Liyu. Ranking criteria: Attitude and performance did not meet expectations. Wei Zhen's performance did not meet expectations, as he often makes low-level mistakes at both the league and national team levels, such as watching the ball but not the opponent. Fernandinho has an attitude problem, for example, not chasing back after being dispossessed in the game and missing multiple national team training sessions. Yang Liyu also has an attitude problem. Fans who frequently follow Beijing Guoan know that his sharpness in the game seems to have been worn down. Fourth tier, with three players selected, including Han Pengfei, Cheng Jin, and Tao Qianglong. Ranking criteria: No performance opportunities in the World Cup qualifiers, and average potential. Han Pengfei, a '93-born player, has passed the period of improvement, and his skills and fundamentals are basically fixed. Cheng Jin plays with imagination, but unfortunately, his physique is a shortcoming, which will greatly limit his ability to reach higher levels. Tao Qianglong is similar to Cheng Jin, both mentally superior to physically, wanting to perform advanced moves but the body can't keep up. Third tier, with…

Translation: The Chinese men's football team has started a new training session under the leadership of head coach Ivan Kozlovic. On the first day of training, what situations have occurred within the team? Situation One: The First Departure Ivan selected a total of 32 players for the new training list, but only 31 players actually participated in the training as Fernandinho did not report for duty. Regarding his departure, Ivan stated it was due to personal issues, while authoritative media outlet "Beijing Youth Daily Sports" reported that he was absent due to injury. On the first day of national team training, Fernandinho posted on social media with content showing outdoor running photos. In the photos, it can be seen that the little motorbike's running speed is 6 minutes per kilometer, a pace that amateur runners should be able to complete. Therefore, judging by this pace, he seems to be truly injured. Fernandinho's contract with Shandong Taishan has expired, and currently, no CSL team has signed him. If he really misses the new season of the CSL, the little motorbike's national team career may also temporarily come to an end. Situation Two: The Captain Emerges The national team training usually selects two captains, the first captain, and the second captain. On the first day of national team training, Wang Dalei accepted media interviews as captain. He expressed that new players might be somewhat restrained, hoping that older players would help the young ones more. This indicates that he is the first captain of the new national team. Wu Lei missed this…

Winter Training Begins: Two Newcomers to the National Football Team Become Ivan's Key Promotion Targets, One Capable of Replacing Fernandinho The winter training for the national football team is in full swing, with two newcomers, Wu Shaocong and Hou Yongyong, becoming the focus of attention. One is a promising new star on the defensive line, and the other is a hope for naturalization on the front line. Coach Ivan Kozlovic's intentions are clear: to use young talent to leverage a new future for the national team. However, this selection also makes people wonder if the "youth storm" of the national team can truly take on the responsibility of impacting the World Cup? On January 10, 2025, the national team's winter training kicked off in Haikou, with the entire team embarking on a new round of preparation under the leadership of head coach Ivan Kozlovic. The biggest highlight of this winter training is undoubtedly the appearance of two newcomers, Wu Shaocong and Hou Yongyong. Their arrival not only brought fresh blood to the training ground but also filled the fans with expectations for the future lineup of the national team. Wu Shaocong, 24 years old and 1.92 meters tall, has experience playing in the Polish league and is about to join Beijing Guoan after returning to China. As a left-footed central defender, his physical conditions and technical characteristics make him a key target for Ivan's observation. In the national team's lineup, left-footed players are rare, and Wu Shaocong's emergence may be able to make up for this shortcoming. Judging from his…

The national football team's policy of naturalizing players has been likened to "heaven or hell." Fernandinho is absent from the new training session due to "personal reasons" and "contract disputes," while another naturalized player, Hou Yongyong, has made his first appearance in the national team with confidence, ready for the upcoming matches. This stark contrast is like two sides of a coin, one revealing issues with the naturalization policy, while the other seems to open up new possibilities for the national team. On one side, there is endless glory, and on the other, unresolved problems. It's hard not to ask: Do naturalized players really help the national team, or do they hold it back? First, let's talk about Fernandinho. It must be admitted that when he was naturalized, great hopes were pinned on him. He is not lacking in talent and has abundant physical fitness, making him a sharp weapon in the offensive end. However, since completing his naturalization and joining the national team, his performance has been lackluster. It is reported that this time he could not participate in the new training session not simply because of physical reasons but due to contract disputes with domestic clubs. He is still on vacation in Brazil, unable to return for the time being. At first glance, this seems like a personal choice, but looking at it from another angle, isn't this also a legacy of the management problems of naturalized players? The naturalization policy is ostensibly intended to make up for the shortcomings in the strength of domestic players, but after…

Wei Shihao, a member of the Chinese national football team, recently gave an interview to the media, stating that the current atmosphere for the team's preparations is very good, which has sparked heated discussions among fans. The Chinese national football team is currently under the leadership of head coach Ivankovic, preparing for the World Cup qualifiers starting in March. Ivankovic originally did not plan to conduct winter training with the national team, but due to the main competitors for qualification such as Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia all engaging in warm-up matches, the Chinese team needed to keep up or risk falling behind. After comprehensive consideration, Coach Ivankovic decided to start winter training in the new year. For this purpose, Ivankovic called up 32 national team players, but Fernandinho was unable to attend due to personal reasons. As a result, the actual number of players present for this training session is 31. Despite Fernandinho's absence, the team's preparations have not been affected. On the contrary, Wei Shihao brought good news to the fans during his media interview, stating that the team's preparation atmosphere is excellent and everyone is full of energy. The reason for the positive atmosphere is Ivankovic's promotion of newcomers into the national team. Many players only realized their dream of joining the national team after Ivankovic took over. Therefore, they all cherish this hard-won opportunity and are fully committed in training and matches. Additionally, Wei Shihao expressed confidence that he and his teammates can secure direct qualification for China. As we all know, the national team performed…

Now, in order to prepare for the third stage of the World Preliminary Asian Zone 18-strong competition, the men's national football team has started its "first training" in Haikou in 2025. According to the previously announced list, a total of 32 players were selected, and among the naturalized players, only Fei Nanduo and Hou Yongyong were called up, but Fei Nanduo refused to participate in this training due to personal reasons. Speaking of this, it reminds people of October 2021 when Fei Nanduo also refused Li Tie's call-up for the same reason. At that time, he had been recuperating from his injuries in his "hometown" Brazil for more than half a year. Later, some media explained that it was mainly because Li Tie trained three times a day, which caused Fei Nanduo's old injuries to recur, so he did not want to return to the national team. It happened that Li Tie was under investigation at that time, and Fei Nanduo really became a "victim." Looking at this matter now, it seems like the old plot is being replayed again. Everyone knows that after the loan period of Shanghai Shenhua expired, the contract with Shandong Taishan also expired. Neither of these two teams showed any intention of keeping Fei Nanduo. On December 4th, someone posted photos of Fei Nanduo moving online. What is noteworthy is that this moving company has been doing international transportation business, which further proves his plan to leave China. Regarding Fei Nanduo's absence, Ivan Kovic said it was due to personal reasons. Then he changed the…
