Beijing Enterprises recently faced off against the Jilin team and emerged victorious with a comfortable score of 109-92. The match unfolded without much suspense as Beijing Enterprises maintained an overwhelming advantage throughout, powering through to victory. Post-game, the team not only celebrated their win but also faced two joys and one concern, with several players' performances becoming hot topics among fans. Let's talk about Chen Guohao, who was undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights of the game. It's no secret that Chen Guohao has never held a high status within Beijing Enterprises, nor did he receive much trust under head coach Min Lulei, which led to a significant dip in his self-confidence. However, today, Chen Guohao shone brightly on the court. He made 8 out of 11 shots, and although his three-point shooting accuracy wasn't particularly high, his stats of 17 points and 5 rebounds impressed many. His consecutive scoring runs during the game provided significant assistance to the team. After the game, Min Lulei also gave Chen Guohao a positive evaluation, praising him for hitting crucial three-pointers under pressure and performing well in defensive rotations. Min Lulei's words should boost Chen Guohao's confidence significantly, as this recognition is invaluable to him. Some people are now concerned about whether Chen Guohao will continue to receive sufficient playing time in future games. Min Lulei's unpredictable player selection makes it unclear who will consistently earn his trust. Thus, despite today's impressive performance, whether Chen Guohao can maintain his footing remains to be seen, depending on Min Lulei's mood. Another noteworthy player is…

Wang Shuang, known as the face of Chinese women's football, finally made her first appearance in the current season's League Cup for Tottenham Hotspur Women. Coming off the bench for only 30 minutes, she demonstrated her exceptional dribbling skills and strategic vision to help control the midfield, leading the team to a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace Women. This win not only secured their advancement to the quarter-finals but also earned her long-awaited applause. However, a question arises: why did it take so long for Wang Shuang, an Asian Footballer of the Year, to make her debut this season? Is it due to insufficient ability or are there other reasons at play? This uncertainty has not only pained Chinese fans but also prompted a reevaluation of the path for Chinese female footballers abroad. Wang Shuang is considered a "golden seed" in Chinese football. Crowned the Asian Footballer of the Year in 2018, she was thrust onto the international stage. The higher one stands, the greater the challenges become. For a national-level star, playing abroad means not only proving one's competitive level but also earning respect for Chinese football. The expectations placed upon her are an invisible pressure. Despite waiting for an opportunity with Tottenham Hotspur Women, Wang Shuang chose to persevere silently, using training to prove herself and actions to declare: "I'm not just here to 'gild the lily.'" It is well-known that Wang Shuang's technical style is agile and delicate, almost unparalleled in Asian competitions. However, on the high-intensity, fast-paced Premier League Women's field, can this style fully integrate?…

Recently, a series of withdrawal incidents has once again made Chinese football the focus of public opinion. From the national team captain Wu Xi's voluntary application for withdrawal, to the departure of naturalized players Alan and Fernandinho, and then to Zhang Linpeng's "withdrawal incident", many fans began to ask: "What's wrong with Chinese football? Are the national players unable to see hope, or is there another hidden situation?" Withdrawal is an individual choice, but when a group of players withdraw from the national team one after another, things become intriguing. Is this a coincidence, or are there problems with the management and environment of the national team? What is even more disturbing is that in the face of these withdrawals, the attitude of the national team coach Ivan Kozlovic seems surprisingly "calm," with almost no intention of retaining them, and even with a hint of "closing the door and leaving." Behind this cold treatment, is it absolute confidence, or is it going with the flow out of helplessness? To understand what's behind this, we have to start with a few things. First, let's talk about Wu Xi. As the captain of the national team, his withdrawal application is undoubtedly the most shocking. According to Wu Xi's own statement, he withdrew because of "insufficient ability" and did not want to drag down the national team. However, as a veteran who has been playing in the top league of Chinese football for many years and a midfielder who was once highly regarded, how could he suddenly doubt his ability? This sounds like…

The Chinese Super League teams have already begun preparations for the new season, with Shanghai Port, last season's double champion, also reconvening for winter training. For Shanghai Port, the task of strengthening the team during this offseason is quite arduous, especially as they have lost two key foreign players, Oscar and Balagas, which has had a significant impact on their overall strength. Therefore, reinforcing the foreign player lineup is of utmost importance. In addition to this offseason, Shanghai Port also attaches great importance to the reinforcement of domestic players. Due to the older age of the team's local main players, the team urgently needs to inject fresh blood. Recently, Shanghai Port has received good news in terms of domestic player reinforcements. According to informed sources, Shanghai Port has locked down 23-year-old forward national team player Tao Qianglong, who will become a member of Shanghai Port in the new season. Tao Qianglong's joining can help enhance the team's offensive capabilities and also alleviate some of the pressure on Wu Lei. Tao Qianglong can be considered a young prodigy, having made his debut in the Chinese Super League at the age of 17. He possesses excellent speed and dribbling ability, which was quite impressive when he first appeared. He was once hailed as the future star of Chinese football. However, early fame also brought him immense pressure, causing his growth trajectory to not fully meet external expectations. His development has not yet reached its potential, but despite this, Tao Qianglong remains one of the outstanding players among domestic players of the same…

The recently concluded 2024 season saw Chengdu Rongcheng achieve remarkable results, not only securing a third-place finish in the Chinese Super League but also making an impressive run in the FA Cup, demonstrating their competitive level and team cohesion, which undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the future. The success of Chengdu Rongcheng can be largely attributed to the Korean coach Xu Zhengyuan, who has made significant contributions with his deep understanding of football tactics and passionate coaching style. Xu Zhengyuan, with his unique vision and rigorous coaching approach, has established an effective tactical system for Chengdu Rongcheng. Instead of being blindly optimistic about the team's achievements, Xu quickly adjusted his mindset and began preparations for the upcoming new season. Prior to the start of winter training, Xu finalized several national-level reinforcements, including Liao Lisheng, Han Pengfei, and Yuan Mincheng. The addition of these new players has undoubtedly injected new vitality and combat power into Chengdu Rongcheng, giving fans more confidence for the new season. Liao Lisheng is known for his excellent midfield organization and scheduling capabilities, which will significantly enhance the team's midfield control. Han Pengfei and Yuan Mincheng are tough defenders whose joining will undoubtedly strengthen the team's defensive depth and stability. However, the arrival of these strong new players also means that the existing lineup needs to undergo reshuffling. In this context, Yang Yiming, the central defender captain of Chengdu Rongcheng, may choose to transfer to Shenzhen Xinpengcheng. For Yang Yiming, this is a difficult decision. As a tough defender, he has made significant contributions to Chengdu…

In those years, under the sweeping tide of the golden football era, the Chinese football transfer market fell into a frenzy. For a time, money and momentum became the absolute dominant factors in the domestic football transfer market, with some player transfers being hyped up to astonishingly high prices like rockets. Nowadays, when we look back at the top ten expensive transfers of local Chinese players during the golden age of Chinese football with a calm and rational perspective, the outrageous degree is truly one after another! Zhang Wenzhao In 2016, Zhang Wenzhao transferred from Shandong Luneng to Guangzhou Evergrande for an astonishing fee of 75 million yuan, which was highly anticipated at the time. However, Zhang Wenzhao failed to become a regular starter at Evergrande and was loaned to Beijing Renhe twice. Bi Jinzhao In January 2016, Bi Jinzhao joined Shanghai Shenhua from Henan Jianye for a transfer fee of 80 million yuan, surprising many. At the age of 25, Bi Jinzhao, with his height of 1.9 meters, was highly regarded by various teams. After joining Shenhua, he successfully won the FA Cup titles in 2017 and 2019, reaching the peak of his career with a peak transfer market value of 400,000 euros. Ren Hang In January 2017, Hebei China Fortune signed national-level defender Ren Hang from Jiangsu Suning for a staggering transfer fee of 80 million yuan, which sparked widespread discussion among fans. Ren Hang's unsuccessful contract renewal with Suning once attracted attention from all sides. After an early termination of the contract, he joined the big-spending team…

Golden Football has become a thing of the past in Chinese football, and with its departure, domestic teams' transfer strategies have gradually shifted towards free signings. It is rare for any team to spend transfer fees on domestic players, and even if there are fees for foreign players, they are typically in the hundreds of thousands of euros. This transfer strategy is actually normal; it was the multi-million euro transfers of just a few years ago that were abnormal. In recent years, the top transfer fees in the market have been less than 5 million euros, and as time goes on, these fees are becoming increasingly smaller. In the 2021 season, Shenzhen's Gintero, Wuhan Three Towns' Stancho in 2022, and Puzhisu in 2023, and Taishan's Zeeka in 2024, all had transfer fees that were decreasing, with the last two years seeing fees under 2 million euros, and 2023 even below 1 million euros. Given this football environment and background, fans do not hold much hope for the 2025 winter window. However, there is now a transfer that could potentially be a top-level transfer king for the 2025 Chinese Super League season. According to news from Portugal, the main central defender of Famalicao, Richeli, may join the Chinese Super League during this winter window, with his next destination being the Chinese Super League team Qingdao West Coast. The Brazilian central defender will join on loan, but there is an option to buy for 2 million euros, with the loan period ending in December 2025. A buyout fee of 2 million is…

After the dissolution of the Guangzhou team, this is the first time Wei Shihao has made a public appearance and statement. The national football team is currently training in Haikou. Although there has been a lot of noise recently due to his salary dispute with the Guangzhou team, the national team still arranged for Wei Shihao to accept media interviews. Although he did not mention the dissolution of the Guangzhou team, it can be seen that Wei Shihao's personal mood has not been affected too much. Wei Shihao's three statements are quite informative and worth paying attention to. The first sentence is that he said that after private exchanges among the whole team, Bahrain is relatively the easiest opponent to play against and also feels the most relaxed. This gives us a lot of confidence because Bahrain just won the Gulf Cup recently, and many people were worried that Bahrain would pose a threat to the national team. However, Wei Shihao still gave us confidence in defeating Bahrain twice. The second sentence is that Wei Shihao said that one of the important contents of this training is to solve the problems that appeared in set pieces before. This also shows that the Ivan coaching staff still listens to outside opinions. If the problem of set pieces can be solved, the team's hope of making it to the World Cup will definitely increase greatly. The third sentence is that Wei Shihao also said that many newcomers have joined the national team now, and the current atmosphere is the best. He and…

In the summer of 2002, following China's participation in the World Cup, a significant news story emerged: Li Tie and Li Weifeng joined Everton. Although not a top Premier League team, Everton is an established club, and the acquisition of two Chinese players was seen as a direct result of the World Cup effect. Sponsorship by Kejian Kejian Company bought out Everton's chest advertising for two years at a cost of 2 million pounds, with an additional clause stipulating the introduction of a Chinese player (or two, one being a starter). This clause seemed unusual, but Everton had limited options. As a mid-to-lower table Premier League team, Everton's strength and commercial value fell short of their local rivals, Liverpool. Manager David Moyes already had plans to select cost-effective Asian players, so there was no conflict between his intentions and the sponsorship deal. Moyes himself scouted during the group stage of the World Cup, evaluating players. While Kejian provided the key to Everton, it cannot be said that Li Tie and Li Weifeng's move to the Premier League was solely due to Kejian's influence. Selection Criteria From a pool of over twenty Chinese national team players, Moyes would not choose veterans or newcomers; he preferred players in their prime. This meant that experienced players like Fan Zhiyi and Zhang Enhua, who had previously played abroad, were not top choices due to their age. The selection narrowed down to players like Li Tie, Zhao Junzhe, and Xu Yunlong. Moyes urgently needed a defensive midfielder to partner with Thomas Gravesen, making Li Tie…
