A European player who wants to join the Chinese national team has appeared.
China's Yi Yi said on the 24th (Korea time) '23-year-old player wants to naturalize in China. The future of the Chinese national team has brightened up,' he reported.
This means that unless the number of naturalized players increases as in Indonesia, China could also be eliminated in the next World Cup pre-election. In this situation, there are players from China who want to naturalize and play in the Chinese national team. Zheng Zhenyan said he intends to naturalize in China and the prerequisite is to make sure he can be selected for the Chinese national team before giving up his Norwegian citizenship.

The Chinese national team ended its journey to the World Cup finals by eliminating fifth place in Group C in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup. All hope disappeared as he failed to advance to the fourth qualifying round. Due to this failure, he will not be able to participate in the World Cup for the sixth time in a row since the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.
Along with the failure to advance to the World Cup finals, negative public opinion poured out against the Chinese national team. Along with the generational change of the Chinese national team, Coach Branko Ivankovic was also replaced shortly after the third qualifying round, and the Chinese national team went through a period of change. However, it is unclear whether the Chinese national team will be able to improve immediately even if a new coach is appointed for the change.

In this situation, a player who can greatly contribute to China's power wants to join China. It's Zheng Zhou Yan. Zheng Zhou Yan, from Zhejiang, China, was born in Oslo, Norway, not China, in 2001. In Norway, he plays under the name of Christopher Chung. He is an overseas Chinese and has never played in China, and is currently playing as a main player for Norwegian first division club Sannefjord. He has already scored four goals and two assists in eight games this season.
Since he is a Norwegian national, he can also seek the position of the Norwegian national team, but the left fullback position is not easy to make a major leap in the Norwegian national team. There is already a solid starting line. Alkmaar's David Möller Olpe is active, and other players such as Christopher Ayer can also play. Considering this situation, Zheng Zhou Yan seems to be considering naturalization for the Chinese national team.
Jeong Jeoyen has a ransom of 1 million euros based on transfer marks, a transfer media outlet. If he joins the Chinese national team, he can immediately rank third in the Chinese national team's ransom after Serginho and Wang Yu-dong.

Meanwhile, China's reinforcement of the national team's power through naturalization has been steadily achieved until recently. In March, Brazil's Serginho was naturalized in China and joined the national team. Serginho, who has dual Brazilian and Italian citizenship, gave up both nationalities and chose to naturalize in China. It was a talent that China had no choice but to seduce. Serginho, who mainly plays as an attacking midfielder, entered the Chinese stage after playing for Kashima Antlers in the Japanese J-League from 2018 to 2019 before moving to Changchun Yatai in 2020. Serginho, who played in Changchun until last season, moved to Beijing Guoan this season and is active on the Chinese stage.
Players who can help the Chinese national team's naturalization policy have been added. Attention is also focusing on whether Chung Jeoyen will be able to lead China's rebound by playing in the Chinese national team.
