The player, who the Chinese national team had long hoped to naturalize, eventually joined the national team where he originally played, and all hope disappeared.
China's Sohu Dotcom reported on the 4th (Korea time) that "a regrettable naturalization plan, Oscar finally said goodbye to China and was included in the Brazilian national team."
Sohu said, "Oscar's sudden selection of the Brazilian national team has dealt a blow to China's naturalization plan. He proved to be very good in China, and Coach Branko Ivankovic always looked forward to Oscar, considering it the key to strengthening China's national team's capabilities."
Oscar was once one of the best attacking midfielders who surprised Europe by playing for Chelsea. Since debuting in Sao Paulo in 2008, Oscar has played for Inter and Chelsea. He also played for the Brazilian national team and was one of the members of the 2014 Brazil World Cup.
However, Oscar has chosen an extraordinary career turnaround. He went on to play in the Chinese Super League at the age of his prime in 2017. He began to play in the Chinese arena wearing Shanghai Sanggang uniform, and continued his career as a key player in the Chinese arena until 2024. He has accumulated enormous wealth in China. After signing a whopping 400,000 pounds (720 million won) a week contract after moving to Shanghai, Oscar has earned 175 million pounds (320 billion won) over the past eight years.
Oscar returned to his native Brazil in 2025 as a Sao Paulo uniform. Since then, he has excelled in Brazil and has recently made a preliminary roster for the Brazilian national team.
Oscar's naturalization to China was once mentioned. Oscar himself said in a 2020 interview, "If the Chinese national soccer team needs a good midfielder, I may be of help." Chinese media also mentioned Oscar's naturalization.
However, the relationship between the two countries was full of vain hopes that could not be achieved. Since Oscar has already played in many matches as a member of the Brazilian national team and participated in FIFA competitions, he cannot naturalize in China without special changes of rules. Oscar also spoke on the condition that the rules be changed.
Nevertheless, Chinese media seem disappointed at the news that Oscar will return to the Brazil national team. Sohu said, "This decision has brought a lesson to the Chinese national team. The plan to naturalize at the Oscars is a failure, and the policy will be even tougher."
Meanwhile, China has not stopped adding naturalized players until recently. Striker Oscar Maritou from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Brazilian-born offensive midfielder Serginho are said to be on the verge of naturalization. He will highly likely join the team soon. Attention is also focusing on which player China, which has completely departed from Oscar, will seek naturalization and revive hope for the national team. 바카라
