With the arrival of the new year, the World Cup qualifiers are drawing closer. According to the schedule, China's next opponent will be Saudi Arabia, ranked 7th in Asia. In the first leg, the national team suffered a 1-2 defeat, a match that many fans considered a disgrace. After all, at that time, the national team had the advantage of playing at home and had an extra player for 70 minutes, but they still failed to secure a victory, not even a draw, which left Song Kai, who was overseeing the game on-site, feeling humiliated. Now, six months later, the two teams will meet again, but the situation has undergone a significant reversal. Currently, the national team is no longer seen as an easy target; instead, they have the same number of points as Saudi Arabia, putting them back on equal footing, with neither side able to afford a loss. Moreover, over the past six months, the national team has been actively recruiting players, taking advantage of the naturalization policy to quickly bolster their ranks with several formidable talents from the Chinese Super League. Currently, forwards Oscar and Hou Yongyong, as well as midfield powerhouse Serginho, are expected to make their debuts against Saudi Arabia. Adding to this lineup is the loyal defender Jiang Guangtai, allowing the national team to field a luxurious starting lineup featuring four naturalized players. This will pose a significant threat to Saudi Arabia and greatly increase the national team's chances of victory. In previous encounters, although the national team has lost more than it has…

With the announcement of the new season's entry list by the Football Association, it can be seen that Guangdong Province has a total of 8 professional teams this year, including Meizhou Hakka, Shenzhen New Pengcheng, and others. However, as the brightest star, Guangzhou Team has fallen into the long river of history, which is regrettable. This super giant, which once won the Chinese Super League (CSL) title eight times, has experienced financial crises in consecutive seasons. Coupled with the public accusation of unpaid wages by Wei Shihao during the off-season, it became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The team has officially announced its dissolution, with Wei Shihao becoming the biggest culprit. However, just two weeks after the dissolution, there seems to be hope for a reversal of the situation. According to the "Football News," Guangzhou Team still has the possibility of revival. What exactly is going on? It is reported that Guangzhou Team is pinning all its hopes on Guangzhou Dandelion. It is understood that Guangzhou Dandelion is interested in acquiring Guangzhou Team, and its boss, Pan Weisi, has shown strong interest. If the acquisition is successful, Guangzhou Team will have the opportunity to revive through Guangzhou Dandelion. The key at present is whether Guangzhou Team can completely sever its ties with Evergrande Group. If Guangzhou Team can become completely independent, they will welcome a new life after being acquired. It is reported that the new backer, Pan Weisi, is eyeing the high-quality asset of Evergrande Football. If Guangzhou Team can merge, Guangzhou Dandelion will also be…

The final result of the match between Beijing Guoan and Shandong Taishan U18 was a resounding 4-0 victory for Beijing Guoan, as evidenced by the scoreline alone, indicating an exciting and satisfying game. Essentially, it was like adults playing with children, but as the game progressed, Beijing Guoan did not hold back, using their strength to teach the opposition a harsh lesson. The match started with an interesting arrangement from Beijing Guoan, who played with 10 men against 11, possibly as an extra incentive for the young players, considering that the opponents were Shandong Taishan U18, a team of young and inexperienced players. These 10 players managed to deliver a four-goal blow to the 11, demonstrating both politeness and precision. The first goal came in the 15th minute when Cao Yongjing of Beijing Guoan made an extremely accurate pass directly to Wang Ziming, who had made a forward run. Wang Ziming did not hesitate and steadily pushed the ball into the net. Observing this coordination, it was clear that they had honed their skills to perfection.

In the world of football, Ivan's name is like a beacon, illuminating the path for Chinese football. He has led the national team through 10 matches, from a crushing defeat of 0-7 to the glory of two consecutive victories. This transformation is undoubtedly a testament to the effectiveness of his reform strategies. Ivan's tactical system is like a sturdy bridge, connecting all parts of the team. In the double forward positions, Zhang Yuning and Wu Lei are absolute mainstays. Zhang Yuning stands out among domestic center forwards with his strength, technical prowess, and strong tactical awareness, serving as a crucial support for the team's front line. Wu Lei, as the best domestic striker, boasts speed and keen goal-scoring instincts, continuously scoring goals for the team. The creation of the diamond midfield is one of Ivan's highlights. With Serginho's addition, the midfield has gained a true engine. Serginho acts like a conductor, controlling the rhythm of the midfield with his passing, ball control, and organizational skills, infusing the team's offense with powerful vitality. In the defensive midfield, Wang Shangyuan remains the mainstay, while players like Li Yuan, Lin Liangming, and Xu Haoyang also play significant roles. They provide a solid defense for the team. The central defenders are occupied by "two Jiangs and one Zhu," with Hu Hetao earning Ivan's trust at left-back, and Gao Zhunyi as the first choice at right-back. The entire defensive line is well-structured, with players working in harmony, laying a solid foundation for the team's defense. Compared to the past, the current lineup of the national…

Currently, the national football team has just concluded a 10-day training camp. This time, only Hou Yongyong participated in the training, while other naturalized players were unable to report due to various reasons. Among them was Xiao Moto Fernandinho. Is Fernandinho injured? This is a message that the media has been reporting, but what is the real situation? Recently, Fernandinho, the naturalized forward of the national football team, updated his social media status, suspectedly starting to play street football in Brazil and making an appearance in the jersey of his new club. This move has attracted widespread attention from fans and the media. How did Fernandinho suddenly go abroad? As a beneficiary of the golden age of Chinese Super League football, Fernandinho's career has experienced a series of ups and downs. When Fernandinho joined the Chongqing team of the Chinese Super League, he quickly obtained a high-paying contract with his outstanding performance. During his multiple seasons with the Chongqing team, he repeatedly turned the tide at critical moments, becoming an important contributor to the team's relegation battle. With these outstanding performances, Fernandinho not only won the honor of the Chongqing team's top scorer but also successfully caught the wind of the Chinese Super League's naturalization policy, joining Evergrande and receiving a sky-high annual salary and resettlement fee. However, after being naturalized and gaining citizenship, Fernandinho failed to consistently demonstrate a convincing performance. In his national team career, Fernandinho repeatedly missed national team training for various reasons, leading to a low point in his career. Over the course of two years,…
