Beijing-based international Guga, a central midfielder for Guoan, revealed in a recent interview that his life in the city is full of joy and fulfillment, and that his family has fallen in love with the local culture. This is exactly the kind of life he is looking for, and Beijing is his dream home, which makes him reluctant to even consider a return to Portugal in the short term.
Guga was an absolute starter in the Portuguese Superliga and a key player in the Portuguese national youth team. When he joined Guoan for a transfer fee of up to 3 million euros, at the age of 27, he was in his prime. Now, he has the chance to become a naturalized player and join the Chinese national team as a much-needed midfield organizing foreigner for the national football team. The fact that he has already made it clear that his whole family is very happy with their life in Beijing certainly increases the probability of his naturalization. Speaking of which, we have to mention a naturalized player from the Portuguese national youth, Delgado of Taishan. Whether Guga can become the next Delgado is a question of concern.
