In China, why can’t many people accept the Chinese men’s football team using naturalized players?

Elkeson has confirmed that he will soon become the first naturalized player without Chinese ancestry in the history of Chinese football. However, the feedback on this epoch-making event in the history of Chinese football can only be "mixed praise and criticism" on the Internet. Even celebrities in Chinese football, such as Zhan Jun and Ma Dexing, have expressed their resistance to naturalization. Interestingly, when the national football team recruited British player Li Ke, it did not cause such a big controversy because Li Ke has Chinese ancestry. Some people's bottom line for naturalized players is whether they have ancestry. Obviously the emergence of Elkerson and Galat has impacted their bottom line. This is a source of controversy.

In addition, there are deeper reasons. This goes beyond purebloods and football. That is: the arrival of purely naturalized players has subverted the values ????believed in by many people.

By analyzing the attributes of some unrelated naturalized players, such as Elkeson, we cannot ignore two points: money worship and betrayal of the motherland. In our country's cultural values, people with these two attributes will basically be criticized for their own reasons. We have also invented many bad words to describe it, such as: money worship, cynicism, x-treachery, etc. Now in the past cognition and education, people who only appeared as negative teaching materials should represent the image of China and stand on the world stage. This kind of cultural and psychological shock and subversion cannot be eliminated in a short time. Even for those Chinese who insist on tradition, the emergence of naturalized players without blood can even make them frustrated.

As Ma Dexing said, I don’t know why, Elkerson felt “uncomfortable” entering the national team. In fact, this is a kind of psychological emptiness and confusion after the collapse of traditional values. And we can find an interesting phenomenon: the older you are, the closer you are to traditional people, the lower your acceptance of irrelevant naturalization.

If Elkson and others, like Japanese and Spanish players, can speak their native language fluently, can grow up in their own youth training system, and even get married and have children in their own country, the controversy will obviously It will be much smaller. Unfortunately, they don't. In this case, it is understandable that some people do not like these naturalized players.
