China Premier League (CPL)
In the 14th round of the tournament, frontrunners Wuhan Sanzhen defeated Meizhou Hakka 2-1 on the road. Brazilian foreigner Malcolm Malcolm contributed key goals and led the scorers' list with 14 goals, attracting much attention from the Korean media, and there was even news that our country is actively pursuing Malcolm's naturalization.
In the 24th minute of the game, Deng Hanwen sent a precise pass from the right side, Malcolm grabbed the ball and scored easily, helping Wuhan Sanzhen equalize the score. It was also Malcolm's 14th goal of the season.
The Korean media commented that Malcolm's goal scoring efficiency is amazing, and he has already equaled the number of goals scored by last season's Golden Boot winner Junior before the Chinese Super League has even passed the halfway mark. His performance is amazing and he is expected to challenge the single-season scoring record of 29 goals held by Xavi.
Looking back at Malcolm's career, in 2017, he joined K2 League's Gyeongnam FC, where he was honored as top scorer and K2 League MVP with 22 goals, helping the team secure promotion. He then received a huge offer from Hebei to move to Wuhan Sanzhen and quickly became a key player for the team.
At the same time, my country is actively seeking the naturalization of Malcolm. As he has not been selected for the Brazilian national team, he meets the conditions for naturalization. Numerous fans want him to join our national team and the CFA is actively exploring this possibility.
