It has been argued that Fernandinho (Chinese name Feinando), who recently missed the training for the Chinese national team due to injury, is faking illness.
Chinese portal Tencent reported on the 23rd (Korea time) that "Football reporter Fan Wei-li claimed that Paynando's failure to comply with the call-up of the national team was not due to injury, but to allowances."
Feinandu is currently staying in his native Brazil. Coach Branko Ivankovic of the Chinese national team said that Feinandu did not join the call-up due to personal reasons. There have been various speculations including injury.
In response, Fan Wei-li posted on his SNS account that "Paynandu has no problem in every aspect. He just doesn't play because the national team doesn't pay him." In fact, Paynandu proved his health by posting a photo of himself playing soccer in Brazil through his SNS account.
Paynando played for Shanghai Shenhua last year on loan. Tencent said, "Paynando is currently an FA status. The lease contract with Shanghai Shenhua has expired, and it has not been confirmed whether to renew the contract with the original team Shandong Taishan. At the moment, it is unlikely that Paynando will return to Shandong." He also predicted, "If Paynando does not play in the Chinese Super League in the new season, he is likely to say goodbye to the Chinese national team."
Chinese fans seem to be furious. Comments on the article were full of angry voices such as "Don't come if you don't want to come!" "Lee has never loved China," and "I don't need such a player anymore."
This is not the first time that Chinese naturalized players have turned away from the national team.
In the late 2010s, China actively selected naturalized players for the national team. Ricker (Nico Yenaris), Iker Sun (Elkesson), Gao Latter (Hikardou Goular), Aran (Alan Carvalho), Zhang Guangtai (Tyres Browning), and Feinanduo joined the team one after another. However, as the Chinese Super League's bubble burst and each team broke down, they returned to their home country one after another, and they did not respond to requests to convene the national team. Zhang Guangtai, who has been steadily active in Shanghai Haigang, is a naturalized player. Eventually, Feinanduo will likely follow the same path as other players who left after playing for the Chinese national team. 메이저사이트
