Serginho's Good Performance and the Aspirations of Foreign Players to Join the National Team

Serginho has performed quite well this season. After being naturalized and joining the national team, he came to Beijing Guoan to play. Compared with his time at Changchun Yatai, he is indeed more active, and his overall performance is truly a notch above other players. This also brings new hope to the national team. After all, the main purpose of his joining the national team is to play in the World Cup qualifiers. Maintaining such an excellent personal form will be very helpful for the upcoming matches against Indonesia and Bahrain.

Interestingly, Fabio, who plays alongside Serginho, also wants to join the national team and fight with Serginho for the qualification. It is reported that Fabio personally stated that his desire to join the national team has nothing to do with money, contracts, or other terms. He just wants to prove himself on the international stage, and joining the national team is a good opportunity for him. After living in China for many years at the age of 32, he has completely integrated into the local lifestyle and culture. Therefore, his desire to be naturalized is very strong.

Fabio's family has almost completely bonded with China. They have all moved here, and his daughter is learning Chinese, which is almost the same arrangement as many foreign players. The same goes for Serginho's family. Unfortunately, he has played for Angola 8 times. Therefore, according to the rules, even if he desires to be naturalized and the national team has the intention, there is no chance.

Fabio was very sad after learning about this situation. It is reported that he is extremely regretful. By comparing Serginho and Fabio, it is not difficult to see that many capable players actually want to join the national team. On paper, if they can join, it will really bring great help. After all, they are very familiar with Chinese culture and the Chinese football field. Although there are differences in skin color, appearance, and language, they are indeed "half - Chinese" in terms of perception.

The problem is that relevant personnel should think and act earlier to avoid such regrettable issues. Especially the age problem. For example, Serginho was naturalized at the age of 30. If the national team fails to qualify for the World Cup this time, he will be 34 years old in the next World Cup, and it is estimated that it will be very difficult for him to continue playing. This is similar to the situation of players like Alan, Fernando, and Luo Guofu.
