Reporter Lu Mi reports On December 5, Oscar arrived in Kunming, hundreds of Yunnan fans went to the airport to greet him, and after arriving in Yuxi, he almost didn't adjust the time difference, he met with the coaching staff and new teammates, and began winter training with the team. At the same time, his naturalization procedures have officially entered the process.
Oscar's first trip to China was for Yanbian in the Chinese League, when he was only 18 years and 5 months old, and contributed 10 goals and three assists in 15 appearances in a single season. Since then, he has played in Shaanxi and Cangzhou, and more than six years have passed unconsciously. At the end of the season, he received an offer from promoted Ma Yukun, and the two sides agreed that only this time, he would then change his identity and become a naturalized player.
Unlike Exxon, Alan and others, as another person who is not naturalized by blood, Oscar is only 25 years old this year, in terms of age, if his physical condition is maintained well, he will play for the national football team for a longer period, and, as a naturalized player, he does not occupy the foreign aid quota in the club, for Yukun, the cost performance is very high.
On the evening of December 5, Oscar arrived at Kunming Changshui Airport and was welcomed by hundreds of fans, and he personally enjoyed the feeling.
Oscar returned to China, and the naturalization procedures were initiated at the same time. The Yukun Club is currently actively promoting this matter, all the materials have been prepared, and have been reported to the General Administration of Sports, after the General Administration completes the procedures, it will be reported to the Ministry of Public Security for passports and Chinese ID cards, and finally return to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to complete the withdrawal procedures.
At present, the naturalization matter is progressing relatively smoothly, and all departments are actively cooperating, and they are now waiting for the final result.
Having played in the Chinese league for more than six years, Oscar has long nodded to naturalization. In his opinion, he started his career in China, living in Yanbian, Xi'an and Cangzhou, playing in two leagues, and the football in each city left a deep impression on him. During his time in China, he struggled to assimilate, including culturally. During his holidays, he will go to Beijing to see places of interest, Guangzhou to taste food, Shanghai Bund for a walk, and Tianjin to experience local characteristics.
Of course, the desire to play for the Chinese team, Oscar was the strongest when he was in Cangzhou, playing in the Chinese Super League, he felt the intensity of the top league, saw the ability of the best players in China, and wanted to play for the Chinese team more, he thought it was a very honorable thing. In fact, the desire to play for the Chinese team is also one of the reasons why he was able to join Yukun this time, Yukun did not give him the highest treatment, but the club said that it would actively promote his naturalization, which coincided with his thoughts, Yukun hopes that he can also contribute to Chinese football while striving for good results in Yunnan football.
Oscar returned to China this time, and his family was also ready. It is reported that his family is very supportive of his naturalization. At present, Oscar's wife and children are living in France, and he plans to bring his family to live in China after completing the naturalization procedures, and the children will attend Chinese schools and receive Chinese cultural education. His family had lived in China for a short time and had a very good impression and hoped to settle in China in the future.
The reporter learned that after Yukun's current training, there will be a long vacation, but Oscar will not leave, he will take a look around Yunnan, and then implement the plan to take his family over.
At present, Oscar has learned some simple Chinese, such as "Hello", "Thank you", "Goodbye", "Nice to meet you", "My name is Oscar", "China is great" and so on.
