Sky Sports's Ringker analyzed the possibility of Dong Fangzhuo winning three World Cup championships:

"Three is almost impossible. If Dong wants to win three World Cup championships, it means he will win two World Cup championships in 2018 and 2022. By 2022, he is already 37 years old, and he can still get 37 years old? He can't play until he is 41 years old! This is not the era of Pele decades ago. No matter how powerful he is, he can only lead the Chinese team to win a World Cup championship. But the problem is, it's not enough for him to be strong alone. Are his teammates around him enough to support him in achieving his goals? It's too difficult and almost impossible. 2014 is already at its peak."

Although no one denies that Dong Fangzhuo is boundlessly strong, they do 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 come to the Chinese team twice in a row. So many powerful men are eyeing the World Cup, why can China defend its title? Looking at the history of the World Cup, there are not many teams that can do it, especially modern football, where the defending champions are worse than the other.

So, Leinker said: "It is possible to surpass Bailey, but it is impossible to catch up with Bailey. But at the club level, he is already the first person in history."

Some rational Maradona fans still dare to use league data to refute.

“Beyond Maradona?”

"If you have the ability to lead a team like Napoli back then, let's talk about it! Do you dare to go?" Maradona fans were dissatisfied again.

"There are many titles, but he doesn't mean he has a high ability. Real Madrid's Hento also had many championships, but is he better than Maradona?"

Maradona was indeed unable to be criticized in Naples. Naples' football history won honors during Maradona's time. He had always been a relegation team until the phone gate incident that Naples began to rise.

Regarding these news, Chinese fans always feel that the Argentinians are stirring up the cold rice, because whether it is Maradona or Messi, they always jump out and compare with Dong Fangzhuo to give it a sense of existence. They have been used to it these years, but Chinese fans have long lost their feelings about Maradona and Messi, because in their eyes, Dong Fangzhuo has long been a god.

But as Reinkell analyzed, other Chinese players determine what height Dong Fangzhuo can stand at. Although there are still three years left before the 2018 World Cup, Chinese fans are always paying attention to the future of Chinese football.

As the older generation of players grows older, it is really hard to say whether the new generation of players can take over. In 2018, the third-placed player in the 2005 World Youth Championship was basically around 33 years old, and Feng Renliang, the youngest, is also 31 years old. For the Middle Ages, Zhang Linpeng and others are in their prime, but it is hard to say whether they can reach the same level.

And the strongest player who is younger is Wu Sanshi. After Wu Sanshi, there seem to be fewer and fewer outstanding players.

Although Hao Haidong's son has been practicing in the youth training camps of Inter Milan and Real Madrid for many years, he has not played out. If he really wants to find a few players, he is probably Wei Shihao, Deng Hanwen and Xiao Zhang Yuning. But at present, the abilities of these players are not as high as people expect.

In fact, after the resurgence of Chinese football, it is not that there is no talent, but that Chinese fans have too high requirements for the Chinese team.

Do you want to say that the goal of letting the Chinese team in the next World Cup is just to strive for the group qualifying? Chinese fans will definitely not agree, and the leaders will not agree, because China is the defending champion. How can the defending champion only pursue the group qualifying?

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

Fortunately, there are still continuous players from China, which is enough to keep the Chinese team competitive enough. The calculation cannot be maintained at the top of the world, but it will not sink.

Another main scorer of the current national team, Wu Sanshi, also successfully went abroad. He eventually joined Atletico Madrid. Perhaps he would be the new leader in Chinese football.

After Dong Fangzhuo is about to grow old, Chinese football urgently needs a new leader, and perhaps Wu Sanshi is the best one.

Dong Fangzhuo called Wu Sanshi to congratulate him on joining Atletico Madrid. Wu Sanshi also had to follow the steps of his predecessors and start his own journey to Europe.

And at this moment, another news came that made the fans quite sad.

Shao Jiayi actually retired.

Due to the impact of injuries, Shao Jiayi decisively chose to retire.

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

Shao Jiayi, born in 1980, is 35 years old this year, and it is indeed time to retire. His career is already perfect. Although he has never won any championships at the club level, he is undoubtedly successful at the national team level. Being able to stand on the top of the world with Dong Fangzhuo is enough to be proud of Chinese football.

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

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

Because of Shao Jiayi's retirement, someone else wrote an article online, "Who is the next one?" The target is Zheng Zhi's next retirement 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 past two years.

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

Next is Chen Tao. Chen Tao's reason for retirement is very strange, because the author believes that Chen Tao's age is fake, and he has at least reported that he is 3 or 4 years old... and Chen Tao has not entered the national team this year, which is even more of a reason...

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

"I'm in good health, I'll kick until I'm 40."

"In three years, I will appear on the Russian World Cup with Dong Fangzhuo."

Indeed, 35-year-old Zheng Zhi is in good health. No matter how he looks, he doesn't look like a person of this age. After returning to China from Charlton and 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 invaluable. He is actually the player with the most running players in Evergrande. How could such a Zheng Zhi retire easily?

However, if he really retires, there are 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 anymore, all of them are over thirty! Obviously, Chinese football needs younger players to take over.

What if all the veterans retire and the Chinese players cannot keep up with the abilities of their abilities?

And at this moment, the word "naturalized player" quietly appeared on the Internet.

The so-called naturalized player refers to a player who voluntarily and actively obtains the nationality of other countries outside of his birth country. It is a bit like skilled immigration...

This word is not unfamiliar at all abroad, but it is very unfamiliar in China.

The role of naturalization is naturally to improve the team's combat effectiveness. In Asia, the Japanese team was the first to play this game. At that time, their naturalized players also brought stars such as Shunsuke Nakamura and Hidesu Nakada. Later, Qatar also played this game.

The Chinese team thought of this a long time ago, but it has never been implemented.

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

However, the head coach of the national team, Clauchen, also attaches great importance to this issue, and he also agrees with the planning. In order to continue to maintain the competitiveness of Chinese football, he believes that China should naturalize some players...

This issue was instantly quarreled online, with some support and some opposition.

Especially the opposition was particularly strong.

Ma Dexing, the editor-in-chief of the famous Sports Weekly, is a firm opponent, he said:

"The naturalization issue has been a big argument during this period. As a firm opposition, I was originally from my heart and couldn't accept it emotionally. I didn't analyze and summarize too much in terms of reason. After a while, my thoughts gradually became clear. I will take it out here to share it with you."

"First of all, anti-naturalization is not a confined bloodline and genes. At this point, human beings have developed, and the earth is a village, and the general trend of racial integration. However, the world's tribe is a future, and race and nationality are the current facts after all. We live in the present and it is unrealistic to not recognize the barriers to racial and nationality."

"Secondly, we must distinguish between naturalization and utilitarian planning. The former is a natural occurrence in the process of ethnic integration, intermarriage and naturalization for the purpose of work and life, which is not what I oppose. However, the policy-based and strategic naturalization of the Football Association with the purpose of achieving results is like cheating."

"Third, utilitarian naturalization will inhibit the development of Chinese football. The Football Association's naturalization is now aimed at solving the problem of the national football team's failure to meet the youth and yellow team, and this problem is the result of the Football Association's dereliction of duty. It would be fine if the naturalization is not played well. If it is played well, it will become the success of the Football Association's experience. Problems such as weak foundation and deformed development of Chinese football cannot be solved. Chinese football itself will continue to shrink, and naturalization will resolve all difficulties. This is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst."

"Finally and most importantly, don't forget what the essence of sports is. Sports is a war in peacetime, but it is different from real wars. It is not a life-and-death or conquer and dominance, nor is it aimed at real victory. Sports competitions pursue spiritual victory. Its role is to enhance the cohesion and pride of the people. Even if the game fails, we unite and work hard to achieve the ultimate, and we will still be honored even if we lose. Victory by naturalization, where is the efforts of our Chinese people? This proves that we are incompetent! This is an act that seriously undermines national self-confidence! A big country with a 1.4 billion yuan cannot achieve results and win by naturalization. Is this our honor? Will others respect us? Can such victory bear our spiritual sustenance?!"

Ma Dexing was very excited. Even another celebrity, Dong Lu, stood up to support him. He shouted on social media: The Chinese national team is heading for professional clubs! This is a joke. The gospel of pseudo-fans in the future when playing national teams, they will never be ridiculed for asking why they don’t play foreign players. Taking the path of naturalized players will only make Chinese football achieve temporary glory, but it is just a trick. The negative effects brought by naturalized players are far greater than positive effects, which will make football youth training a sluggish career. The real take-off of Chinese football should be that more and more people play football, and football is truly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Dong Lu is really a bad temper...

This question will naturally also be asked about Dong Fangzhuo.

Of course, Dong Fangzhuo is not unfamiliar with this issue. He is now a leader in Chinese football, so he naturally cannot express his opinions casually. After some careful consideration, he still accepted an exclusive interview with the authoritative domestic 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 that I want to express."

"First of all, the most basic bottom line for naturalized players is that this person must have Chinese ancestry. He has Chinese ancestry and his ancestors are Chinese, so it is normal to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors."

"Secondly, this player must recognize China and Chinese culture. Don't change nationality just for money. Then he always looks down on China and the Chinese around him. Such a Japanese devil must not be asked. Of course, if a foreigner who has been in China for eight years, if they want to become Chinese nationality, that's another matter."

"As we all know, China's history is the history of the continuous integration of nations and culture. Although China has 56 ethnic groups, why can it form a persevering Chinese nation? Because we rely on our identification with Chinese culture, rather than simply divided by ethnicity and religion, unlike some ethnic groups or countries, it is because of different ethnic groups, and there are internal struggles. Therefore, if some mixed-race players overseas recognize Chinese culture and fill in "China" in their nationality column again, why should they refuse?"

"Attracting excellent naturalized players to join 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 this is a kind of fusion. Excellent children will become better and will also lead others to become excellent. There is nothing..."

...

Dong Fangzhuo had spoken, but what others said was no longer important. This article was said in the Sports Weekly, which was under the jurisdiction of Ma Dexing. It was very slap in Ma Dexing's face...

The Chinese King of Football believes that naturalization is fine, what do you guys talk about? No one dares to say that Dong Fangzhuo is not right. If you have the ability to win a World Cup championship in advance, then talk about it...
