Chapter 1155: The Quarrel on Naturalization

Sky Sports' Lineker analyzed the possibility of Dong Fangzhuo winning three World Cup titles:

"Three is almost impossible, if Dong wants to win three World Cup titles, it means that he will win two World Cup titles in 2018 and 2022, and in 2022, he will be 37 years old, can he still get it at the age of 37? He can't play until he is 41! This is not the era of Pele a few decades ago, no matter how good he is, he can only lead the Chinese team to win the World Cup once. But the question is, he can't be strong alone, are his teammates enough to support him to achieve his goals? It's too hard, it's almost impossible, and 2014 is already the peak. ”

Although everyone did not deny that Dong Fangzhuo was boundlessly strong, they did not believe in the Chinese team. The World Cup is hard to come by, not to mention that the strength of Chinese players is not top-notch, and luck cannot befall the Chinese team twice in a row. With so many heroes eyeing the World Cup, why can China still defend its title? Looking at the history of the World Cup, there are few teams that can do it, especially in modern football, where the defending champions are worse than the other.

So, Lineker said: "It's possible to overtake Pele, but it's impossible to catch Pele." But at club level, he is already the first man in history. ”

Some rational Maradona fans still dare to refute it with league data.

"Beyond Maradona?"

"If you have the ability to go to a team like Napoli back then, lead the team to win the championship! Does Dong dare to go? "Maradona fans are not convinced again.

"Just because he has more titles doesn't mean that his ability is very high, and Real Madrid also had more Gento championships back then, but is he better than Maradona?"

At that time, Maradona was indeed unhacked in Naples, and Napoli's football history won honors in Maradona's time period, and it was never a relegation team before, until after the phonegate incident, Napoli began to rise.

For these news, Chinese fans always feel that Argentines are frying cold rice, because whether it is Maradona or Messi, they always habitually jump out to compare with Dong Fangzhuo and brush up on their presence. has been used to it all these years, but Chinese fans have long had no feelings for Maradona and Messi, because in their eyes, Dong Fangzhuo has long been a god.

But as Lineker analyzed, the rest of the Chinese team determines how high Dong Fangzhuo can stand, and although there are still three years to go before the 2018 World Cup, Chinese fans are always watching the future of Chinese football.

As the older generation of players ages, it's really hard to say whether the new generation of players can take over. In 2018, the generation of players who finished third in the 2005 World Youth Championships were basically about 33 years old, and the youngest Feng Renliang was also 31 years old.

And the strongest players who are a little younger are Wu Sanshi, after Wu Sanshi? There seem to be fewer and fewer good players.

Like Hao Haidong's son, although he has been practicing in the youth academy of Inter Milan and Real Madrid for many years, he has not played out, and he really wants to find a few players, which is estimated to be Wei Shihao, Deng Hanwen and Xiao Zhang Yuning, but at present, the ability of these players is not as high as people expect.

In fact, after the re-emergence of Chinese football, it is not that there are no talents, but that Chinese fans have too high requirements for the Chinese team.

Do you want to say that the goal of the Chinese team in the next World Cup is only to qualify from the group? The Chinese fans will definitely not agree, and neither will the leaders, because China is the defending champion, how can the defending champion only pursue group qualification?

Therefore, Dong Fangzhuo and his national team teammates' future World Cup journey is destined to be not easy.

Fortunately, there is still a steady stream of players going out of China, which is enough for the Chinese team to remain competitive enough to maintain the calculation at the top of the world, but it will not sink.

Wu Sanshi, another main scorer of the current national team, also succeeded in staying abroad, and he eventually joined Atletico Madrid, and perhaps he will be the new leader of Chinese football.

After Dong Fangzhuo is about to grow old, Chinese football is in dire need of a new leader, and perhaps Wu Sanshi is the best one.

Dong Fangzhuo called Wu Sanshi to congratulate him on joining Atletico Madrid, and Wu Sanshi is also going to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and start his European journey.

And at this time, there was another news that made fans very sad.

Shao Jiayi actually retired.

Because of the impact of injury, Shao Jiayi decisively chose to retire.

Shao Jiayi had already talked to Dong Fangzhuo about this matter earlier, and perhaps only Dong Fangzhuo was mentally prepared. As a member of the 2014 World Cup winners, Sun Jihai was the first to retire, and then Shao Jiayi.

Shao Jiayi, who was born in 1980, is 35 years old this year, and it is indeed time to retire. He's had a perfect career, and although he hasn't won any trophies at club level, he's undoubtedly successful at national level. Being able to stand on top of the world with Dong Fangzhuo is enough to laugh at Chinese football.

But this really makes people feel so sad that even Zheng Zhi has been affected.

Zheng Zhi is only a few months younger than Shao Jiayi, and he is also 35 years old.

Because of Shao Jiayi's retirement, someone else wrote an article on the Internet "Who's Next?" The target is Zheng Zhi - the next retired player must be Zheng Zhi, in the national team, Zheng Zhi is the oldest, at least 5 years older than everyone, maybe Zheng Zhi will retire in the next two years.

"After Zheng Zhi, it should be Qu Bo." Qu Bo, another veteran, was born in 1981 and is 34 years old this year.

Followed by Chen Tao. The reason for Chen Tao's retirement is very strange, because the author believes that Chen Tao's age is fake, at least 3 or 4 years old...... And Chen Tao has not entered the national team this year, which is even more reasonable......

However, Zheng Zhi quickly stood up to refute the rumors.

"I'm physically fit and I'm going to play until I'm 40."

"In three years, I will appear in the World Cup in Russia with Dong Fangzhuo."

Indeed, the 35-year-old Zheng Zhi is really in good health, no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a person of this age, returned to China from Charlton, and after joining Guangzhou Evergrande, Zheng Zhi led the team to win the AFC Champions League for two consecutive years, and was invincible in the Chinese Super League, Zheng Zhi's role is indispensable. And he is still the player with the most runs in the Evergrande team, how can such Zheng Zhi retire lightly?

But if he really retires, there is really no one who can replace him, the younger Zhao Xuri, Zhou Haibin and Huang Bowen have not been able to reach his height, and they are not young, they are all over thirty! Obviously, Chinese football needs younger players to take over.

What if the veterans are retired and the Chinese players can't keep up?

And at this time, I don't know when the term 'naturalized player' quietly appeared on the Internet.

The so-called naturalized player refers to a player who voluntarily and voluntarily acquires the nationality of another country other than the nationality of birth. It's a bit like skilled migration......

The term is not unfamiliar abroad, but it is very unfamiliar in China.

The role of naturalization is naturally to improve the combat effectiveness of the team. In Asia, the Japanese team was the first to start playing this set, when their naturalized players also brought out stars such as Shunsuke Nakamura and Hidetoshi Nakata, and later Qatar also played this.

And the Chinese team thought of this a long time ago, but it has not been implemented.

In our country, the proposal of naturalized football players has been around for a long time, but has not been finalized, to this year the State General Administration of Sports and the Chinese Football Association have been communicating with the relevant ministries and commissions on the issue of "naturalization", which mainly involves China's nationality policy does not allow dual nationality, once naturalized foreign aid, the other party must give up the original nationality.

However, the head coach of the national team, Crouchen, also attaches great importance to this issue, and he is also in favor of the plan, in order to continue to maintain the competitiveness of Chinese football, he believes that China should naturalize some players......

This issue instantly became a quarrel on the Internet, with some for it and some against.

In particular, the opposition was particularly strong.

Ma Dexing, editor-in-chief of the well-known Sports Weekly, is a staunch opponent, saying:

"During this time, the issue of naturalization was very noisy, and as a firm opponent, I initially came out of my heart, and I couldn't accept it emotionally and instinctively. There is not much analysis and summary in the truth. After arguing for a while, my thoughts gradually became clearer, and I will share them with you here. ”

"First of all, anti-naturalization is not about descent and genes. At this point, the earth is the village, and the integration of human races is the general trend. However, the race of the world is a matter of the future, and race and nationality are after all present facts, and it is unrealistic for us to live in the present and not recognize the barriers of race and nationality. ”

"Second, we need to distinguish between natural naturalization and utilitarian planning. The former is a natural occurrence in the process of ethnic integration, and intermarriage and naturalization for the purpose of working and living are not opposed by me. However, the Football Association's policy-oriented, strategic, and naturalized approach to achieving results is tantamount to cheating. ”

"Third, utilitarian naturalization will inhibit the development of Chinese football. The purpose of the naturalization of the Football Association is to solve the problem of the lack of national football, and this problem is the result of the Football Association's dereliction of duty. If it is not played well, it will become a continuation of the successful experience of the Football Association, and the problems such as the weak foundation and deformed development of Chinese football will not be solved, and Chinese football itself will continue to shrink and resolve all difficulties, which is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst. ”

"Finally, and most importantly, don't forget what the essence of sport is. Sports is a war in peacetime, but it is different from real war, it is not a life or death or a subjugation, and it is not the ultimate goal of real victory. Sports competition is the pursuit of spiritual victory, his role is to enhance the cohesion and pride of the people, even if the game fails, we are united, hard, to the extreme, although the defeat is still glorious. Relying on naturalization to win, where are the efforts of our original Chinese people? This is proof of our incompetence! This is an act that seriously undermines national self-confidence! A big country of 1.4 billion, can't play on its own, and wins by naturalization, is it our honor? Will others look up to us? Can such a victory bear our spiritual sustenance?! ”

Ma Dexing was so excited that even another celebrity, Dong Lu, stood up to support him, and he shouted on social media: The Chinese national team is running to a professional club! It's a joke, a boon for the pseudo-fans – they will never be laughed at again when they play for the national team. Taking the road of naturalized players will only make Chinese football achieve temporary glory, but it is just opportunistic. The negative effects of naturalized players far outweigh the positive effects, which will make the football youth training career sluggish. The real take-off of Chinese football should be that more and more people are playing football, and football is truly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Dong Lu is really short-tempered......

This question will naturally be asked to Dong Fangzhuo.

Dong Fangzhuo is of course no stranger to this issue, he is now the leader of Chinese football, naturally can not express his opinions casually, after some careful consideration, he still accepted an exclusive interview with the domestic authoritative media "Sports Weekly", and put forward his own opinions on the issue of naturalization.

"I'm not actually resistant to naturalization, but there are a few points I want to express."

"First of all, one of the most basic bottom lines for naturalized players is that this person must have Chinese ancestry. There is Chinese ancestry, the ancestors are Chinese, and it is normal to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors. ”

"Second, this player must recognize China and Chinese culture, don't just change nationality for money, and then always look down on China and the Chinese around him on weekdays. Of course, if a foreigner who has been in China for eight years wants to become a Chinese citizen, that's a different story. ”

"As we all know, the history of China is the history of the continuous integration of nations and cultures. Although there are 56 ethnic groups in China, why can they be twisted into a rope to form a tenacious and unyielding Chinese nation? Because we rely on the identification of Chinese culture, not simply divided by ethnicity and religion, unlike some ethnic groups or some countries, just because of different nationalities, there is endless infighting. So, if some mixed-race players overseas recognize Chinese culture and re-fill their nationality column with "Chinese", why refuse? ”

"Attracting excellent naturalized players to the team in a short period of time will help the Chinese national team improve its overall combat effectiveness. But the purpose of our naturalization is not short-term, I think it's a kind of integration. There is nothing ...... about good kids playing football together, they become better and they lead others to become better."

……

Dong Fangzhuo has spoken, but what others say is not important. This article was said in the "Sports Weekly" in charge of Ma Dexing, which slapped Ma Dexing in the face......

The Chinese football king thinks it's okay to naturalize, what are the rest of you beeping? No one dares to say that Dong Fangzhuo is not, and he will go to get a World Cup championship in advance and come back......
