During the period of gold-yuan football, a naturalized trend occurred in the domestic football world. In order to respond to the call of Football Association and enhance the strength of our team, some strong clubs began to vigorously develop naturalized players. Exxon , Luo Guofu , Alan and other naturalized players without blood relationships, as well as Jiang Guangtai , Li Ke , Hou Yongyong and other naturalized players with blood relationships emerged. These players have left a strong mark in the history of domestic football and national teams, but their ending in domestic football is not very good.
Li Ke showed his recovery progress
Except for Jiang Guangtai who is still active in the Chinese Super League, the other naturalized players have disappeared from Chinese Super League for a long time. Elkeson, Luo Guofu and other naturalized without blood relationships returned to the Brazilian League to start a new career. Although they still retain their nationality, their contribution to Chinese football may be close to 0 in the future. Li Ke, Hou Yongyong, Xiao Taotao and other naturalized players will either leave or be unable to play in the game. Among them, Li Ke is a pity. As the former captain of the Arsenal youth team, captain of the Brentford and Premier League U18 league champion, he has been recuperating most of his career in the Chinese Super League.
Li Ke, who disappeared from the court for more than a year ago, suddenly appeared in the fans' sight. He posted updates during his recovery in the UK, sharing his recovery progress, and saying that his right leg had undergone three surgeries and was actively recovering and training. Judging from the updates posted by Li Ke, Guoan midfielder appeared at the training base of his old club Arsenal and could already do some strength training. There is a scar that is dozens of centimeters long on the inner side of his right leg, which is enough to show how much pain his injury has experienced.
Li Ke's future in the Chinese Super League career is uncertain
Since May last year, Li Ke has been recuperating for more than a year. His last appearance for Guoan was in the game of defeating Wuhan Yangtze River 2-0 in May 2021. Then he fell into a long vortex of recovery, return and relapse of injuries. He had surgery due to ankle canal syndrome and sole nerve problems. After returning to Guoan this year, he went to the UK for the third surgery.
Since Guoan has revoked the registration for Li Ke for the Chinese Super League, he will not appear in the Chinese Super League again this season, and his contract with Guoan will expire at the end of this year. It is unknown whether he can continue to stay in Guoan and continue to play in the Chinese Super League by then. Since joining Guoan in January 2019, Li Ke has only made 52 appearances in more than three years and has made 6 appearances for the Chinese national football team.
summary
The naturalization results of the Football Association are hard to describe. Although there is blood naturalization and a sense of belonging, Jiang Guangtai is still active in the Chinese Super League. However, the naturalization of Li Ke and Hou Yongyong has indeed failed completely. Li Ke and Hou Yongyong, who was once the captain of Arsenal youth team, and Hou Yongyong, who is as famous as Odegao , has now destroyed everyone.
