Which stars have never played for their home countries?

Vermaelen, Vertonghen and Alderweireld all started their careers in the Ajax first team after being trained by the famous star factory - Ajax Academy, and all three of them are related to north London, Vermaelen has long since left Arsenal to join Barcelona, and the other two are wearing Tottenham shirts. Also starting their careers at foreign clubs are four players named Shazli, Bouayata, Carrasco and Yanuzai, and although their trajectories are different, they have one thing in common is that none of them have played for a Belgian domestic team. It's a real pity, but if it were me, I would like to play for my country.

Among the African Footballer of the Year of the Century are Yaya Tour, Samuel Eto'o, Didier Drogba, Bam Adebayor, Diouf and Mboma, six who have never played for their home team. Mboma, Diouf, Adebayor and Drogba all made their debut in France, some of them have played in Asia (Mboma, Diouf) and some in North America (Drogba), but none have played for clubs in Africa. ‍‍

Yaya Tour, the four-time African Footballer of the Year winner, had an even more difficult start to his career. Samuel Eto'o made his debut at Real Madrid from a high starting point, but he was not part of Real Madrid's future plans and could only wander around as a loan player, with Junior Dur travelling to Belgium, Ukraine, Greece and Ligue 1 in search of opportunities. It wasn't until the two got together in Barcelona that they reached the pinnacle of their careers together.

But he has not played for his country.

What I know is Eden Hazard, Belgian stars, and in the case of the Belgian national team, as many as a third of the 23-man squad released by Belgium for the World Cup in Russia have no experience of playing for their own club. Captain Eden Hazard is undoubtedly the epitome of the club, having joined the academy of French side Lille at the age of 14 and began his career with Lille two years later, before being bought by Chelsea after five seasons in Ligue 1 and still at Stamford Bridge. With Hazard's ability and status, I'm afraid he will never play for a Belgian domestic team.

A very strong French player also started his career in Spain, but unlike Griezmann, he has never been able to play for France, having only moved from Athletic Bilbao to Manchester City in January. Seeing that Luca Fernandez, who is two years younger than him, has already been named in the World Cup squad for France, Laporte's desire to play for France will not be realized, at least when Deschamps is in charge. ‍‍

Denmark's key player Christian Eriksen is also an Ajax academy product, having been bought by Tottenham after making a name for himself and has been with him ever since. The same is true of Danish striker Bendtner, who missed the World Cup due to injury, who started his career at Arsenal and although he later moved to Juventus, Wolfsburg, Nottingham Forest and now even to play for Rosenborg in Norway, he just did not return to Denmark.

Pablo Sarabia, Sevilla's Spanish winger, is currently worth €30 million. Never played for their home country.

The Fernandez brothers (Luca and Theo) are also French players who started their careers in Spain, and both brothers are excellent defenders who have been trained in the Atletico Madrid academy, but now the two brothers are derby rivals, as their younger brother Theo Fernandez was bought by Real Madrid before he could play for Atletico Madrid's first team. ‍‍

Anthony Modeste, Tianjin Quanjian's French striker (currently in dispute with the club), is currently worth 16 million euros.

Benzema, Lattice, Elkeson.

He has not played in his home league – Messi.

Icardi did not play for Argentina at the 2018 World Cup.

Africans rarely play in their own countries.

African stars have hardly played in their home countries.

Hargreaves of England.

You must be a member of your national nationality to represent the national team.

Playing in another national team requires obtaining the nationality of that country, just like some table tennis players from our country go to other countries. Your national team doesn't need you, and if you don't have good treatment in China, you may change your nationality and play in some national teams with generous pay and more opportunities to play, which is normal.

Especially for South American players, for multi-national players, it is necessary to determine which country they will represent before starting, and they cannot represent multiple countries at the same time.

After representing your home country, you will not be able to participate in the national team of other countries in some sports. For example, football. After playing for Argentina, Stefano later wanted to go to the Spanish national team.

As a result, after many negotiations, it was decided that Stefano could play for Spain, but in the future, as long as he played for one country, he could not play for another. Recently, there has been a change to the rules that allow a player to represent another country if he or she is representing a country in a national team such as the U21 or U19 and not playing for the national team. For example, a player played for England's Under-21 team, such as Jesterwood, and later represented Wales at the senior level.

Chinese players are not allowed to have dual citizenship, so they must change their nationality before they can represent other national teams. And other projects, yes. For example, Chinese table tennis champion He Zhili, due to some political reasons, switched to the Japanese national team and changed her name to Koyama Chile.

There are many examples of table tennis, badminton, and even volleyball.

How can it be! They turned out to be brothers, but they played for different national teams.

No, we have rules in our country, and if you change your nationality, you can't have the identity of two countries at the same time, and our country doesn't allow that.

China can't, because China doesn't currently recognize multiple citizenship.

It's okay to recognise multiple nationals, like that Ryan Giggs, who only played for Wales all his life, but could play for England whenever he wanted.

Not in China. If you can have dual citizenship, you can do it

China can't, others can.
