On March 24th, Beijing time, Fernando updated social media to express his excitement about making his debut with the national football team.
Fernando has been naturalized for 4 years. He once entered the national football training list when Li Tie and Li Xiaopeng were coaching, but he has not officially played for various reasons, and he also missed this year's Asian Cup.
However, after joining Shandong Taishan, Fernando's condition got better and better, and his performance in the AFC Champions League was also very good, so he gained the trust of new national football coach Ivankovic.
So they played away against Singapore. Fernando started directly and made his debut in the national football team! His performance was also very good, with 4 successful dribbles out of 7, which was the biggest surprise on the court.
In two days, the national football team will face Singapore again. Fernando wrote on social media: "I am very happy to complete my debut for the Chinese national team. I hope it will get better and better. 2024/3/21."
Wang Dalei, Huang Bowen and others praised it, as well as Goulart, but he has given up his Chinese nationality and announced his retirement.
