After entering January, the transfer work of various CSL clubs has become a top priority, with many teams making targeted reinforcements. The traditional powerhouse Shanghai Shenhua has recently introduced several strong reinforcements such as Minero, Li Ke, Wang Hanlong, and Wang Shilong. Despite this, Shenhua's transfer work has not stopped. Currently, Shenhua's transfer focus is mainly on the central defender, center forward, and attacking midfielder positions. In the central defender position, the team's current main partner is Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong. This national team duo performed exceptionally well last season, often stepping up in critical moments to help the team overcome difficulties. However, the strength of the substitutes on the bench is clearly insufficient, and Jin Shuncai's performance has been unsatisfactory. According to a domestic sports media report, in order to enhance the competitiveness of the central defender position, Shenhua is considering introducing Shi Ke from Shandong Taishan. The 31-year-old Shi Ke has been selected for the national team multiple times and has played for Shandong Taishan for 3 seasons. However, his performance in recent years has been questioned. Changing teams may help Shi Ke regain his form. If he joins Shenhua, Shi Ke can become a substitute for Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong, bringing healthy competition within the team and effectively enhancing the overall defensive strength of the Shenhua team. In the front line, Luis' performance last season was very eye-catching. The Brazilian striker quickly adapted to the rhythm of the CSL after joining Shenhua and repeatedly came to the rescue when the team was in trouble. However,…

Replay! The National Football Team should have 6 points, the first goal was disallowed, and a red card was missed in the second game The twists and turns, the willows darkening and the flowers brightening, when everyone was worried about the prospects of the Chinese men's football team qualifying, an exciting message spread throughout the motherland from north to south. The AFC Referees Committee determined that Dai Weijun should have been shown a red card for being kicked, and South Korean referee Gao Hengjin missed the call. A single stone stirs up a thousand waves. When Gao Hengjin's missed call became a fact, many Chinese fans straightened their backs instantly. Chinese football has stood up. It's not that Chinese football is not good enough, but that the Asian Cup referees are not good enough. It's the referees' foolish decisions that have hindered the proud progress of the Chinese men's football team. Justice delayed, while uplifting people's spirits, also ignited the anger of many Chinese fans. The goal against Tajikistan was once again brought up, and another round of criticism against the referees of that match began. Voices of accusation and drops of blood and tears, people united in pointing their guns at the referees, people united in giving the AFC the middle finger. Our Chinese football is not bad, but it is targeted by the AFC. In the match against Tajikistan, our goal was unfairly disallowed, costing us three points. If it weren't for the missed red card in the match against Lebanon, we could have gained another three points.…

Once a prominent figure in Chinese football, Li Tie was sentenced to 20 years for his involvement in over 100 million yuan of illegal assets. He appeared calm and retained the opportunity to appeal. This verdict sparked widespread discussion, with some questioning the disparity in sentencing compared to Chen Xuyuan, who received life imprisonment for a lesser amount. As Li Tie's case unfolded, it exposed a web of corruption, from being persuaded to participate in match-fixing to implicating intermediaries like Liu Yi and even leading to the downfall of Gou Zhongwen. The revelation that Li Tie's misdeeds began before he became the national team coach has shaken the football community. Fans are disheartened by the extent of underhanded dealings within the sport. The involvement of high-ranking officials like Gou Zhongwen, who was caught up in shady operations related to major events like the Asian Cup hosting rights and the Winter Olympics, further eroded public trust. Despite the turmoil, Gao Hongbo, a former vice-chairman of the Football Association, remained untainted. He expressed regret over the events but also optimism that the industry would improve following this scandal. This could be a fresh start for the national team, with hopes that Chinese football will clean house and return to its pure sporting roots. Online discussions reflect mixed opinions. Some believe Li Tie's sentence is too lenient and should be increased to deter others, while others argue that his cooperation in exposing deeper corruption merits consideration in sentencing. Regardless, there is a collective wish for Chinese football to seize this opportunity to reform…

Li Tie has been sentenced to 20 years in prison, a bombshell that has exploded in the football world. This once-promising figure on the football field has now become a prisoner, which is truly disheartening. The revelations from Feng Junyan, the former captain of Evergrande, add an air of mystery to this event. He mentioned details of Li Tie's time at Evergrande, and who would have thought that the once upright Li Tie would end up on such an unexpected path of no return. Speaking of Li Tie, he was also a star on the field during his playing days, running and fighting for the ball, earning great achievements for the national team. At that time, he was a hero in the hearts of many fans. However, after retiring, he seemed like a changed person. Looking at Feng Junyan, the meritorious captain of Guangzhou Evergrande, who has been involved with football since childhood, he became an indispensable member of the team with his agile skills and excellent awareness in the midfield. He witnessed and participated in the entire process of Guangzhou Evergrande's rise from the China League One to the Chinese Super League, from obscurity to becoming the four-time Chinese Super League champion, AFC Champions League winner, as well as winning titles in the FA Cup and Super Cup. His presence has been a part of all these glories, making him a legendary figure of the team. Feng Junyan mentioned that when Li Tie served as an assistant coach at Evergrande, despite being in a strict club environment, Li Tie's…

The adjustment of the foreign player policy. In fact, foreign players on the football field have long been more than just outsiders on the court. Their influence has permeated every corner of the team. From tactical arrangements to the club's financial budget, the importance of foreign players is self-evident. What impact will the adjustment of foreign player quotas have on teams, especially big clubs like Shanghai Port? Adjustment of foreign player policy: reducing burden or reducing strength? At the meeting between the Chinese Super League management department and various clubs that just took place, a proposal that has attracted wide attention has sparked extensive discussion - the number of foreign players will be reduced. From the previous policy where each team could register 7 foreign players and have a maximum of 6 on the field at the same time, it has been adjusted to a maximum of 6 foreign players per team, with a maximum of 5 registered at the same time. In short, the use of foreign players will be more restrained. This change obviously aims to reduce the financial pressure on clubs, as many teams are facing financial difficulties. This policy is clearly not good news for teams that rely on foreign players to carry the flag. Especially for big clubs like Shanghai Port, foreign players have long been synonymous with their hardcore combat power. The goal of Port is very clear, which is to maintain the top position in domestic competitions and bravely strive for remarkable achievements in the AFC Champions League. The tragic drama of Shanghai…

The goal for Tianjin Tigers this season in the Chinese Super League is to secure their position and avoid relegation. The task of avoiding relegation remains severe in the new season. Therefore, it will not be an easy feat for Tianjin Tigers to accomplish this goal. Coach Yu Genwei has brought in several new players to strengthen the team, with Zhang Wei and Ruan Yang showing promising performances after joining the team. Their impressive displays in the warm-up matches have proven Yu Genwei's keen eye for talent. Ruan Yang, in particular, provided two assists in a match against Qingdao West Coast, both being precise crosses that found their teammates in the right positions. This has made him the biggest discovery among the new signings for Tianjin Tigers. It seems only a matter of time before Ruan Yang's transfer is finalized, which is something fans are looking forward to. Zhang Wei, on the other hand, has emerged as a dark horse at the center-forward position, giving him the potential to play a pivotal role in Yu Genwei's tactical setup. However, relying solely on Ruan Yang and Zhang Wei will not be enough for Tianjin Tigers to complete their relegation-avoidance mission in the Chinese Super League. To address this, the team could consider bringing in three more new players from Shandong Taishan, focusing on the central defender, right-back, and attacking midfielder positions. Introducing Peng Xiao to reinforce the central defender position would be a good choice. Peng Xiao is a very capable central defender and an absolute mainstay in the national youth…

As the calendar turns to March, the eyes of football fans around the world are gradually focusing on the World Cup qualifiers across various continents. Among them, the New Year's battle between the Chinese team and Saudi Arabia has undoubtedly become a major highlight in the Asian region. The match scheduled for March 20 is not only crucial for both teams' World Cup dreams but also carries the expectations and hopes of countless Chinese fans. However, a series of uncertainties before the game have made the outcome unpredictable. Wu Lei, the top scorer for the Chinese men's football team, has always been under close attention. However, according to the latest news, Wu Lei may be unable to play due to injury. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow for the Chinese team in desperate need of goals. Wu Lei's absence means that the team's options in the front line will be even more limited. How to make up for this loss will be a major challenge for the head coach. In addition to Wu Lei's injury, the progress of naturalized players has also cast a shadow over the Chinese team's prospects. The naturalization procedures for Xiao Oscar and Serginho have yet to make substantial progress, which means they are unlikely to catch up with the key battle against Saudi Arabia. If these two players were on the field, they would undoubtedly add more creativity and attacking power to the Chinese team's midfield and frontcourt, but reality is disappointing. Facing the strong Saudi team, the Chinese team needs to muster all their…

With the official opening of the transfer window for the Chinese Super League (CSL) and China League One, teams are gearing up and actively seeking new signings to adjust their squads. The departure of Oscar from Shanghai Port marks the end of the era of big-money football in China, as he was the last remaining foreign player from that period. The estimated value of foreign players in the new season's CSL is around one million euros, a far cry from the glamour of previous years. However, with Song Kai taking over as the new chairman of the Football Association, measures have been implemented to relax restrictions on foreign players and prioritize youth training, reigniting interest among fans. The two newly promoted teams, Dalian Yingbo and Yunnan Yukuang, have been particularly active in the transfer market. As the champions of League One, Yunnan Yukuang has undergone a major reshuffle, with all 21 players from last season leaving upon the expiration of their contracts. Confirmed new signings include naturalized player Hou Yongyong and foreign player Oscar, who is currently being naturalized by the national team. Other additions include former Meizhou Hakka player Ye Chugui and former Henan Jianye player Li Songyi. The team's budget for the new season is expected to be in the hundreds of millions, with three sponsors announced, including Yunnan Huofa Group, Yunnan Yuxi Xianfu Steel, and Yunnan Yuxi Yukuang Steel Group, each contributing 2 million yuan. Yunnan is set to field a strong squad this season, with previous standout promoted teams like Wuhan Three Towns, Meizhou finishing eighth,…

Jiu Cheng has tried out for multiple KPL teams! The latest big news in the KPL scene reveals that RW wants to abandon everyone except Xiao A, and Fly might have to become a substitute. Just now, a source revealed that "Jiu Cheng has tried out for multiple KPL teams." Last year, Jiu Cheng started playing cup matches from the Legion Cup, with the aim of "regaining his competitive feel and making a comeback in 2025." I think Jiu Cheng's performance in the cup matches was commendable, and there might be some lesser teams interested in him, considering his fan base. Fly has always been the one leading RW forward, but the source claims that "RW wants to let go of everyone except the support player Xiao A during this transfer period." If RW finds a suitable flanker during the transfer period, Fly would have to stay as a substitute if he remains with RW. The most sought-after mid-laner in the KPL transfer period has emerged! The source also revealed that AG is looking to strengthen their second team, with both Xiao Luo and Zi Huan being quoted at 8 million yuan each. In recent years, the fastest-declining champion is undoubtedly TTG. Some even mock them as the "rat droppings" sandwiched between the "Three Great Families" dominating the KPL. However, Zi Huan, once plagued with issues, has become polished after winning the championship. Everyone knows that Zi Huan's relationship with Jiu Zhe is very tense, so it's highly likely that Zi Huan will leave during the transfer period. From the…

Hubei U16 defeated a Thai football club 2-1 in the second match of the domestic invitational tournament, achieving two consecutive victories. Judging from the momentum shown by Hubei U16 in the first two matches, there should be no major issues for the team to advance or even win the championship. Notably, the goals for Hubei U16 were scored by two main national youth players born in 2009, forward Wan Xiang and the talented Liang Shiyu. Wan Xiang and Liang Shiyu are both very capable young national players who have become the main strikers for the national youth team. It's worth mentioning that Wan Xiang also scored an impressive goal in the match between China's national youth team and South Korea, helping the team achieve a long-awaited victory. Therefore, Chinese fans have high hopes for Wan Xiang and Liang Shiyu, wishing them to take on the responsibility and lead the team to qualify from the Asian preliminaries. The 2008 national youth team, with the efforts of Abibula, has set a good example for the 2009 national youth team. The 2008 national youth team performed well in the group stage of the Asian preliminaries, and in the final group match against the strongest opponent, South Korea, they held their own. This national youth team impressed the fans with their fighting spirit, excellent individual skills, and techniques in the game. Ultimately, China's national youth team drew 2-2 with South Korea, advancing together from the group stage. The successful qualification of the 2008 national youth team has greatly inspired the 2009 national youth team.…
