Hou Yongyong, a midfielder who has made a name for himself in the Norwegian League, won the league's Golden Boot this season thanks to his excellent attacking play. His talent is obvious, but despite being a naturalized player, he has never been able to suit up for the national soccer team.

Wu Xiaohai, Yang Rui'an and Zheng Zeyan, three players with Chinese ancestry, are expected to represent the national soccer team as soon as naturalization is completed. At present, Beijing Guoan has thrown an olive branch to Yang Rui'an, if the two sides reach an agreement, Yang Rui'an can wear the national team next year. Zheng Zeyan has clearly expressed his willingness to naturalize, and it is reported that the Chinese Super League team is actively in contact with him. Wu Xiaohai has been rumored to join the national team, but to no avail. However, recent reports indicate that he may join the Chinese Super League, which also signals that he will be naturalized.
Zhang Yuning has become the first choice in the striker position in the national team coached by Ivan. Despite his outstanding strength, Wu Lei does not seem to have fully adapted under Ivan's guidance. If the national football team naturalizes the five players mentioned above, the fighting strength of the national team will be greatly improved, and the most powerful national football team in history may be recreated. At that time, the national football striker will have more options, and may even shake Wu Lei's starting position. Imagine the striker combination of Zhang Yuning and Sergio, what a wonderful picture that would be!
