Two newly promoted teams in the Chinese Super League have been in contact with multiple domestic and foreign players to establish their foothold. Especially Yunnan Yulong, which had already confirmed promotion earlier than Dalian Yingbo. However, the transfer market is unpredictable, and Yulong's target midfielder, former Changchun Yatai midfielder Zui, was intercepted by the Thai Super League. Additionally, Yulong abandoned Labuad, and Musheqi, who was originally planned to stay, joined Dalian Kunpeng. The only remaining foreign player on Yulong's team is Joni. The introduction of Little Oscar went smoothly. The naturalization process of Little Oscar is still steadily advancing, and Yulong positions him as a domestic player after successful naturalization for the new season, leaving four more foreign player spots. First, Yulong confirmed the signing of Serbian central defender Tsernomakovich from Vojvodina. The contract has been finalized, and the player arrived in Yuxi on January 5 to join the team. With Zui falling through, Yulong initiated Plan B, targeting Portuguese midfielder Nene, who plays in the Polish Super League. Regarding the contract details, Yulong Club is currently negotiating with Nene's side. The remaining two foreign player spots are placed on the forward and winger positions. This is normal; with the midfield and defense stabilized, the club must find partners for Joni and Little Oscar to ensure stronger firepower on the attack line than last year. Eight new domestic players have made their debut and participated in training. According to the plan, Yunnan Yulong will go to Thailand for training on January 7 and plans to play at least three warm-up…

Recently, the veteran Chinese Super League team Beijing Guoan has started its latest winter training in Haikou. Currently, new coach Quique Setién and his coaching staff have officially arrived and are leading the team through comprehensive training. It is reported that to test the results of the winter training, the club will arrange four friendly matches in the near future, including opponents such as Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, a strong team in the Chinese Super League. In this phase of winter training, one player's performance stands out, he is the local defender He Yupeng. The 26-year-old He Yupeng comes from the Dalian Shide youth training system. After the dissolution of Shide Club, He Yupeng joined Dalian Aerbin. After Aerbin dissolved, He Yupeng entered Dalian Yifang (later renamed Dalian Pro), starting to compete in the China League One, and returned to the Chinese Super League with the team in the 2018 season. He Yupeng's performance at Dalian Pro was commendable. Although he is a full-back, he possesses strong attacking power. In the 2019 season, he scored a decisive goal in the Chinese Super League, helping Dalian Pro win away against Shenzhen FC. In the 2022 season, he scored in the match between Dalian Pro and Guangzhou City, contributing to Dalian Pro's 3-0 victory over their opponents. In the 2023 season, He Yupeng provided an assist in the match between Dalian Pro and Beijing Guoan, helping the team draw 2-2, and these remarkable performances earned him the favor of the national team. In the 2023 season, after Dalian Pro was relegated and announced…

Seiteng has just taken office, and Guoan has finalized two young domestic talents, with the best successor to Chi Zhongguo in place.

The announcement of the national football team's training roster has set off a storm among fans. Not only are there adjustments in names, but the rejuvenation of the lineup is like an unstoppable revolution, full of excitement and expectation. Ivanković's moves have surprised and inspired hope. Let's talk about the newcomers that catch everyone's eye. Fresh blood like Jian Tao, Han Pengfei, Wu Shaocong, and Wu Mitijiang are young and strong players who have just emerged and been selected by the head coach, injecting vitality into the team. Among them, the rise of post-00 players can be described as "ready to strike." Looking at the list with names like Jian Tao, Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong, and Hu Hetao, these young players are like tigers ready to pounce, eager to kick away all doubts. Especially the two post-00 players, Maiwulong and Wu Mitijiang, these two young brothers are representatives of youthful vigor, born in 2004, they are surely the future of the national team. This wave of young players joining has really filled the national team with endless possibilities. Not every veteran can easily "retire" - veterans like Liu Dianzuo, Jiang Guangtai, and Wu Lei, who were once important pillars of the national team, have not been selected this time. These three players were once the backbone of the national team, and their absence will undoubtedly make many fans feel regretful. Liu Dianzuo's saves, Jiang Guangtai's defense, and Wu Lei's attacking ability once became the team's reliance. However, with the passage of time, the head coach apparently feels it's time to…

Here are the four best technical players in the history of Chinese men's football, according to my personal opinion as a former fan and player: Peng Weiguo: A classic technical player with precise skills, especially in passing like a scalpel. He was the absolute core of the team's offense, with a broad perspective and vision, making him a genius attacking midfielder. Watching Peng play is like reading a textbook on technique. However, his weakness was physical strength and lack of robustness, typical of someone from the south. Zhang Xiaorui: Known for his technical prowess and Latin American-style awareness, but he was physically weak and not good at tackling. After suffering from injuries and being relegated to the bench, his career gradually declined. Despite this, he was once considered a savior during the Olympic qualifiers, often coming off the bench in the second half. His dribbling ability was top-notch, delicate, and he could use his speed and technique to get past defenders. Shen Si: Familiar to old fans, Shen Si played for Shanghai Shenhua and was known for his free-kicks, which rank first in the history of Chinese men's football. His left foot was particularly strong, even surpassing Beckham in some aspects. He was also a player who used his brain, participating in two free-kick competitions in 2004 and 2008. Chen Tao: Considered one of the most technically skilled players in Chinese football over the past 20 years, Chen Tao was a creative midfield organizer with dreamlike footwork, top-level dribbling, speed, and passing abilities. His highlight moment was scoring three goals…

After experiencing the ups and downs as the head coach of the national team, this former Shandong Luneng meritorious coach has finally chosen an unusual path - returning to his hometown to coach Qingdao Hainiu. This decision not only demonstrates his infinite love and dedication to football but also allows us to see the sentiment and responsibility that a professional coach should have. Li Xiaopeng's return to coaching Qingdao Hainiu is a decision with great symbolic significance in his career. As a representative figure of Shandong football, Li Xiaopeng won widespread acclaim from fans during his time at Luneng for his stable tactical layout and profound football heritage. Although he was unable to leave his name in the honor book of top league championships, the feat of leading the team to the FA Cup final twice is enough to prove that his coaching ability cannot be underestimated. After experiencing the brief ups and downs of the national team coaching position, Li Xiaopeng did not choose to escape or retreat but bravely faced the challenges and proved his worth with practical actions. This time, he chose to return to his hometown to coach Qingdao Hainiu, which is not only a nostalgic look back at his football sentiment but also a deep affection for the development of his hometown's football. Looking back on Li Xiaopeng's coaching career, it can be described as magnificent and full of legendary color. During his time at Luneng, he led the team to repeatedly challenge…

Recently, a shocking news has emerged in the Chinese football world: the former Super League powerhouse Guangzhou Team announced its dissolution. The fall of this club, which created an eight consecutive championship legend in the Super League and twice lifted the AFC Champions League trophy, not only saddens many fans but also heralds the end of a glorious era in Chinese football. However, amidst this gloom, a glimmer of hope is emerging as the Chinese Football Association (CFA) may extend a helping hand to change the fate of Guangzhou Team. The glorious history of Guangzhou Team is unforgettable. At its peak, this team was considered a benchmark for Chinese football. They not only dominated the domestic arena with their undefeated record of eight consecutive Super League titles but also twice won the AFC Champions League, raising the prestige of Chinese football on the Asian stage. The team's contributions to talent cultivation and transfer are equally remarkable, having provided a large number of outstanding players to the national team, whose backbone roles still leave a deep impression today. More importantly, during its heyday, Guangzhou Team always served the overall development of Chinese football with a sense of responsibility. They took the initiative to shoulder the high salaries of world-class coaches like Fabio Cannavaro and Marcello Lippi. The arrival of these top coaches not only enhanced the international influence of the Super League but also brought advanced tactical concepts and management experience to Chinese football. It can be said that Guangzhou Team played an irreplaceable role in promoting the modernization of Chinese…

The first rays of sunlight in 2025 illuminate the Haikou training base, where Beijing Guoan's preparations for the new season have fully commenced. At this hopeful start of the year, the team not only welcomes new faces but also undergoes a significant squad reshuffle! The most eye-catching addition is the 24-year-old national team central defender, Wu Shaocong. This talent from Beijing Baxy's youth training system has experienced the training of the J-League's Shimizu Pulse U19 team in Japan and subsequently played for Guangzhou Evergrande, where he was frequently selected for the national team, demonstrating remarkable abilities. Although his development in the Turkish Super League was not smooth, his decision to return to the CSL and join Beijing Guoan undoubtedly injects new vitality into the team. New head coach Setien shows great enthusiasm for Wu Shaocong's arrival. The Spanish coach values Wu Shaocong's excellent physical condition, technical characteristics, and tactical understanding, believing he perfectly fits the team's tactical system requirements. Although Wu Shaocong was scheduled to report to the national team on January 9th, he arrived early in Haikou to participate in team training, earning the admiration of the coaching staff with his professional attitude. However, signing Wu Shaocong requires a substantial transfer fee, leading the team to make some tough decisions. According to reports from the Beijing Youth Daily journalist, Guoan will transfer young players Ruan Qilong, Ma Yujun, and He Xiaoqiang to Chongqing Tongliang Long in the China League One, while retaining buy-back clauses. Meanwhile, former AFC Champions League captain Liang Shaowen and Yan Yu will join Shaanxi Chang'an…

On January 9th, Beijing time, the second meeting of the 12th member congress of the Chinese Football Association was held in Beijing. The 2024 Chinese Football Association work report released at the meeting pointed out that significant progress has been made in the reform of the "separation of management and operation" in our professional league. All parties will accelerate the establishment of the Chinese Football Professional League Federation (CFLF), which has independent legal person status, and actively and steadily promote the registration of CFLF, improvement of league systems, and adjustment of operating entities. At present, the CFLF establishment plan has been submitted for approval according to procedures and is expected to be registered in Beijing before and after the Spring Festival of 2025. Authorized by the Chinese Football Association, it will mainly be responsible for the organization and commercial operations of the three-level professional league. These business projects originally managed by the Football Association will be separated. With the confirmed establishment of the CFLF, the "separation of management and operation" in Chinese football, after thirty-six years, has finally taken another solid step. According to relevant data, as early as 1989, during the preliminary stage of the professionalization reform of Chinese football, the Chinese Football Association proposed the suggestion of entity establishment, which later became known as "separation of management and operation". In the early days of the professionalization of Chinese football, the main focus of the "non-separation of management and operation" was on the "Chinese Football Sports Management Center," which evolved from the original division-level unit, the National Physical Education…
