China's Sohu Dotcom said on the 1st (Korean time) that naturalization is a lonely thing, highlighting that naturalization of the Chinese national team is heading for another failure.
Sohu said 'Citizen Serginho is being criticized for being caught up in a whirlwind of public opinion. Serginho was naturalized in China under the arrangement of agents such as Branko Ivankovic. He is receiving an annual salary of 1.5 million euros in Beijing, but is disappointed by his poor performance. It did not meet the expectations of the club.
Then 'Serginho's presence in the national team is minimal. He played in six games after naturalization, but failed to score an offensive point and has not contributed to the national team. Originally, Serginho's naturalization was intended for the development of the Chinese national team, but now it seems to have been reduced to a fruitless deal. Beijing Guoan and the national team both expressed disappointment over Serginho's recruitment.

The same goes for other countries. Malaysia is currently securing a list of Malaysian-Argentina players to increase the proportion of naturalized players in the national team, and plans to select players before the A-match in September. Vietnam has also prepared to recruit naturalized players through the revision of the Nationality Act. He already has a representative naturalized player named Nguyen Xuan Son.

The player who came to mind in this situation was Serginho. 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 and is playing on the Chinese stage. China naturalized Serginho to reinforce its midfield.
However, the much-anticipated naturalization of Serginho did not achieve much either. China failed to advance to the 2026 North-China World Cup, and it is not certain that Serginho, who was born in 1995, will be able to play an active role in advancing the Chinese national team until the upcoming 2030 World Cup. Naturalization is not a big hope for Chinese soccer.
