Yesterday, the Chinese Football Association announced the new national football squad for the Asian Cup. Exxon is the first non-blood naturalized member of the national football team, and he also made a special salary cut to return to the Chinese Super League to maintain his form, just to fight for the country again. However, he was abandoned by national football coach Jankovic. According to Ma Dexing, a reporter from "Sports Weekly", Jankovic had already decided to give up Exon when he was on the list of World Preliminaries in November.
This decision once surprised the relevant parties and people, and even tried to persuade Jankovic, but the national football coach insisted on his own opinion and was extremely resolute. This also means that the national football team will not use any non-blood naturalized players in the Asian Cup, and it is reported that there is no Exxon and Fernando even in the 50-person primary registration list, Ma Dexing bluntly said that the "mercenary era" of the national football team is over.
In addition to Exxon, another naturalized player, Fernando, is not in the 50-man squad of the national football team, and he will also miss the Asian Cup. Many fans believe that his characteristics and abilities can play for the national football team, and now, his departure has also greatly reduced the midfield strength of the national football team. Jankovic didn't seem happy with Fernando's performance. Jankovic prefers to use homegrown players in order to develop their confidence and experience. As a result, there are only three naturalized players left in the Asian Cup for the national football team, namely Li Ke and Jiang Guangtai, who are both naturalized players who are related by blood, and they are also players that Jankovic trusts.
Exxon's defeat made his fans feel sorry and he himself felt depressed. Reporter Pei Li broke the news that Exxon returned to Brazil early after the season, and he may have been mentally prepared for his failure to participate in the Asian Cup. Pei Li revealed that Ackerson himself is also very dissatisfied, and he believes that the importance of the World Preliminaries is much higher than that of the Asian Cup, and it is also more beneficial to his career and market value. Therefore, he prefers to participate in the World Preliminary Tournament rather than the Asian Cup. Ackerson's idea may be justified, after all, the World Preliminary Tournament is a key event to determine whether or not to enter the World Cup, and the Asian Cup is only an Asia-wide competition, which has limited influence on international football. As a naturalized player, Ackerson's goal is to be able to play for the Chinese team in the World Cup, not in the Asian Cup.
Jankovic's employment concept has caused a lot of controversy, some people think that he is thinking about the long-term development of the national football team, and some people think that he is thinking about his own selfish interests. Jankovic's supporters believe that he is cultivating local players for the national football team and improving the overall strength and level of the national football team, rather than relying on foreign aid. They believe that the naturalized players of the national football team are not really Chinese, and their naturalization is only for profit, not for honor. The national football team should focus on its own local players, based on its own style and characteristics, rather than imitating and borrowing from others.
In addition, Jankovic's opponents also have a reason that the naturalized players of the national football team are an important capital of the national football team, and their ability and experience are needed by the national football team. The national football team should make full use of the advantages of naturalized players to improve the competitiveness and performance of the national football team, rather than giving up on them, and should be result-oriented, efficiency-oriented, rather than process-oriented, and ideal-oriented.
