It's Aixon, Gaolat and Allan. In recent years, more and more foreign players have become naturalized players in Chinese men's football, including some from Brazil. In Chinese soccer, the addition of Brazilian players is considered part of the development of Chinese soccer, bringing new techniques and tactical concepts to help the development and improvement of Chinese soccer. The trio of Aixon, Gallart and Allan were all former starters for Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League.
The addition of Brazilian players not only contributes to individual skills, but also brings new opportunities for Chinese soccer in terms of nationality policy. According to the Chinese Nationality Law, foreigners can obtain Chinese nationality for reasons such as "significant contribution" or "kinship". Some Brazilian players have acquired Chinese nationality through this route. Therefore, in order to quickly improve the ability and level of the Chinese men's soccer team, the CFA chose to accept naturalized players.
One of the most famous Brazilian players is former Brazilian international Galat. Gallart had made his debut in August 2014 in the Brazilian men's national soccer team. In January 2015, Gallart transferred from the Barclays Premier League to Guangzhou Evergrande Football Club in the Chinese Super League and played in the Chinese Super League for many years, accomplishing his title as the number one foreign aid in the Chinese Super League. After all, Golat had led Guangzhou Evergrande to win one AFC Champions League title, three Chinese Super League titles, one AFC Cup title and three Super Cup titles.
The other two naturalized players from Brazil are Eckerson and Alan. Aixon will still have Chinese citizenship in 2023 and will still play for the Chinese men's soccer team, but Aixon, who was born in 1989, is no longer young, so there are not many chances left for the Chinese men's soccer team. Alan, also born in 1989, was also a naturalized player for the Chinese men's football team, but also failed to help the Chinese men's football team to reach the Qatar World Cup.
