Currently, the Chinese Super League is still in the off-season, but the start time for the new season has been determined. The issue of league entry for the new season has also received special attention from fans. At present, most of the Chinese Super League teams are relatively safe, and there are no major problems in obtaining entry for next season. In particular, Wuhan Three Towns, which previously had a risk of dissolution, now has a new sponsor, and local authorities are also strongly supportive, so their crisis can be considered temporarily resolved. However, there is still one team that is on the brink of dissolution, which is Cangzhou Mighty Lions. The crisis of Cangzhou Mighty Lions actually erupted a long time ago. Last season, the team's foreign aid Oscar chose to leave the team at a critical moment due to arrears issues. Although the team eventually completed the relegation task, the crisis during this off-season has not been resolved. The issue of arrears is still causing a stir. It is reported that Cangzhou Mighty Lions fell into a serious financial dilemma during this off-season, and the players' wages have been delayed. Although the Football Association previously announced that Cangzhou Mighty Lions had completed the entry, both domestic players and foreign aids of the club have voiced their demands for wages on social media. Among them, Cangzhou players Zheng Kaimu, Wang Peng, Mo Xuchen, Wen Da, and others even made a fuss at the Football Association. They united to demand wages, with great momentum. Foreign aid Oscar even took Cangzhou…

In the 2024 Ping Pong Super League, two women's team semi-finals concluded on December 30th, with Shandong Luneng and Shenzhen University once again meeting in the finals! It is worth mentioning that this is the sixth consecutive time these two teams have met in the finals! In the previous five finals, Shandong Luneng won three championships, while Shenzhen University won two! Who will win the championship this sixth time? In the semi-finals held on December 30th, Shenzhen University faced Shanghai Longteng. After losing the first doubles match, Shenzhen University relied on Sun Yingsha to successively defeat He Zhuojia and Liu Weishan, while Kuai Man successfully defeated Chen Yi, advancing to the finals! In Shandong Luneng's match against Huangshi Base, they performed very strongly, with Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi defeating Muyuan Meiyu and Zheng Xianzhi 3-0, and Wang Manyu sweeping the young player Yao Ruixuan 3-0! In the third match, Chen Xingtong faced Muyuan Meiyu from Huangshi Base and played aggressively, sweeping her opponent 3-0! Thus, Shandong Luneng successfully met Shenzhen University in the finals! After the game, when the Shandong Luneng players were interviewed, they were asked what advantages they had in the final against Shenzhen University. Chen Xingtong's three words made the audience laugh, as she said: "Older age!" Why did Chen Xingtong say that Shandong Luneng's advantage lies in being older? Because this time, the four players from Shenzhen University are all very young, with the oldest being 24-year-old Sun Yingsha. Additionally, Kuai Man is 20 years old, Tan Yuxuan is 18 years old, and their foreign…

Three key players from the Chinese men's football team are set to join the top five European leagues. This could be a "glorious moment for Chinese football" or "another shattered dream in Europe." In recent years, when it comes to "Chinese footballers going abroad," many people send them off with high hopes but can't help sighing in disappointment. After Wu Lei's journey in La Liga ended, there was a wave of emotion, "Can't Chinese football really find a few promising talents capable of making it in Europe?" Amidst the doubts, Chinese football fans received new news: three young Chinese players, Liang Shaowen, Lu Yongtao, and Xue Qinghao, are about to join Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Premier League. If all goes well, they will become the latest batch of Chinese players to step into Europe's top five leagues. However, the question arises: will these three be able to stand firm and fight for the honor of Chinese football? Or will they follow in the footsteps of some predecessors, starting strong but ultimately fading away? Before analyzing these three young players, we must first understand the background player, Wolverhampton Wanderers. Why does Wolves have a preference for signing Chinese players? There's more to it than simply "discovering geniuses." In recent years, Wolves' attention to Chinese players has intensified, from Dai Weijun to He Zhenyu, and now forming a strategic partnership with Nantong Zhiyun. It's clear that they're playing a big game. Let's look at the issue from another angle: China, with its vast fan market, attracts countless European clubs. According to…

Official Arrest! The Biggest Official Position in Chinese Sports So Far, Deeply Affected Liu Guoliang and Cai Zhenhua Introduction On December 19, 2024, as the year was about to end, Gou Zhongwen, the former member of the Standing Committee of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), former deputy director of the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee, and former director of the General Administration of Sport, was finally arrested. Netizens cheered, and since Gou Zhongwen was investigated in May, many people have been paying attention to this "professional" who has caused trouble for the national table tennis team and the national football team, deeply harming Liu Guoliang and Cai Zhenhua. Now that he has been arrested, it is a great relief. Parachuted Bureau Chief In 2016, Liu Peng, then director of the General Administration of Sport, was already quite old and began to consider stepping down. At that time, the most popular candidate was Cai Zhenhua, the deputy director. This table tennis veteran started fighting for the national team in 1979, with his figure appearing in the World Championships in 1981, 1983, and 1985, winning numerous championship medals. In 1991, during the decline of Chinese table tennis, Cai Zhenhua returned from coaching in Italy and took up the mantle of Chinese table tennis. Under his coaching, China's table tennis career improved year by year, almost sweeping all kinds of world championships at the beginning of the 21st century. It was thought that Cai Zhenhua becoming the director-general was a foregone conclusion, but when the actual…

The author will introduce in detail the team's adjustment plan for the squad during the winter transfer window, following the order of positions, for the fans of Beijing Guoan. There will be no changes in the goalkeeper position: five players will be retained. The 24-year-old international Han Jiaqi remains the main player, veteran Hou Sen is responsible for the bottom line, and three 20-year-old young players Zheng Tuoluo, Yao Boqing, and Nueraili continue to be cultivated. Adjustments in the defensive line: 3 players leaving, 2 completing contract renewals. The departing players are 34-year-old veteran Zhang Chengdong, 35-year-old veteran Yu Dabao, and foreign aid Mamadou. The reason for Zhang Chengdong and Yu Dabao's departure is simple; they are too old, and Beijing Guoan currently needs to complete the transition between the old and new. The former is expected to join Qingdao West Coast next season, while the latter is more likely to settle into the coaching staff of Guoan. Mamadou has enough ability, but Guoan will focus on possession and ground play next season, so it is necessary to strengthen the midfield strength. Naturally, one of the two foreign aid spots in the defense must be released, and Mamadou, whose contract has expired, had to be let go first. At the same time, to ensure the stability of the defense, it is boldly speculated that Guoan will extend an olive branch to national-level defenders in the free market. The successfully renewed players are 34-year-old full-back Wang Gang and 25-year-old central defender Bai Yang. These two renewals feel like the operation of…

The landscape of the Chinese Super League (CSL) is set to undergo significant changes next season, with a three-way title race emerging among Shanghai Shenhua, Beijing Guoan, and Chengdu Rongcheng. Defending champions Shanghai Port are unlikely to contend for the title due to the departure of their two star foreign players, Oscar and Baljic, and the challenges posed by the salary cap restrictions. The team's aging core, known as the "Six Tigers of Chongming," may struggle to maintain their performance levels under coach Muscat's attacking football system. Wu Lei, whose playing style heavily relies on specific configurations, could see a significant drop in his effectiveness without the support of Oscar and Baljic. Beijing Guoan boasts an impressive domestic lineup featuring national team players such as Zhang Yuning, Lin Liangming, Wang Ziming, and Cao Yongjing, along with newly naturalized player Serginho. New head coach Setien's emphasis on ground play and ball possession aligns well with the team's roster. If Guoan can secure quality foreign signings during the offseason and effectively integrate them with the new coach's tactics, they will undoubtedly become strong contenders for the title. Shanghai Shenhua, who narrowly missed out on the championship last season by just one point, are expected to maintain their core squad and continue their title challenge next season. Coach Xu Zhengyuan has demonstrated his coaching prowess by leading Chengdu Rongcheng to third place despite limited bench depth. The team is expected to strengthen its squad significantly during the offseason, with potential signings of notable domestic players like Li Ke, Liao Lisheng, Liu Dianzuo, and…

Recently, Wang Dalei, the main goalkeeper of the national football team, summarized his year 2024. Wang Dalei expressed that he was very honored to be able to return to the starting lineup of the national team this year and wore the captain's armband for the first time in the World Cup qualifier. At the same time, Wang Dalei also responded to the fact that after he became the main goalkeeper of the national team, he led the Chinese team to a 0-7 defeat in Japan. Wang Dalei frankly stated that others can use this score to humiliate him, but he will always take this game's failure as his motivation to move forward. Wang Dalei's firm statement has sparked a lot of discussion among fans. Everyone thinks that the national football team's 0-7 defeat in Japan cannot be blamed on Wang Dalei alone. Fans who watched this game should know that from goalkeeper Wang Dalei to striker Wu Lei, the national team was not in good form. In addition, the Japanese team was really in top form in this game, basically able to score no matter how they played. Perhaps if Wang Dalei had been in better form, he could have allowed the national team to concede fewer goals, but it would not have changed the fate of China's crushing defeat. After conceding seven goals, Wang Dalei also looked frustrated and unwilling after the game. Therefore, it is inappropriate for some fans of the national football team to mock Wang Dalei for losing 0-7 to Japan. Wang Dalei, although a well-known…

The entry for the 2025 season remains undecided, and at this pace, it is likely that the entry results will not be announced until after the transfer period begins. This would leave insufficient time for teams to prepare and for players to transfer. In fact, there are only a few teams currently in dispute. The first batch of debt-clearing list has no controversy, and the second batch, including Guangzhou FC, Cangzhou Mighty Lions, and Hunan Billows, were reported during the public notice period, but have since been resolved. However, there is some controversy over the timing of Cangzhou Mighty Lions' resolution. Cangzhou Mighty Lions received a sum of 60 million yuan and reached a settlement with all the players who were owed wages, submitting the relevant signed materials to the Football Association. However, the submission was one day beyond the stipulated time, making the team's situation unclear. Opinions on this matter vary; some believe that the Football Association should handle matters impartially, while others think that the Football Association should not overcorrect. Whether or not this one day should be taken seriously has also posed a dilemma for the Football Association. According to media personality Miao Yuan, Cangzhou Mighty Lions may really be in trouble this time, as the Football Association still has not allowed them entry. The Football Association has its own timeline for announcing the entry list, which is within a week after New Year's Day. However, before the announcement to the public, they will send advance notice to the clubs. Now that the time for the Football…

On the morning of December 28th, Beijing time, the latest transfer news from the Chinese Super League (CSL) during the off-season has been reported. Teams such as Beijing Guoan, Dalian Yibo, and Qingdao West Coast have all made new moves. Recent Spanish media reports suggest that Villar could return to Guoan. There have been contacts between the two sides, but no conclusion has been reached yet. Famous journalist Miao Yuan believes that based on the relationship between Beijing Guoan's new coach Setien and Villar, it is very likely, but they also need to consider the position of Ceballos. Therefore, Beijing Guoan is still weighing their options. According to the revelation of sports blogger CSL Watcher, Zhang Chengdong will report to Qingdao West Coast after New Year's Day. The former international player is currently 35 years old. He was the first Chinese player to play in La Liga. He returned to Beijing Guoan in 2022 and made a total of 12 appearances last season, starting 7 times. In addition, there have also been recent media reports that He Xiaoke, formerly of Shandong Taishan, is currently training with Qingdao West Coast for the winter. These two signings are good news for Qingdao West Coast's relegation task next season. Dalian Yibo, newly promoted to the CSL, has recently made strong moves in the transfer market. According to the revelation of the CSL Watcher, the young owner of Dalian Yibo Club announced that they are about to sign Ma Lailai, the former Shanghai Shenhua player. If this powerful foreign aid can be finalized, it…

Cangzhou Lions may have encountered a big problem. According to media reports, on December 25th, the relevant parties in Cangzhou City completed the process, and the eagerly anticipated first installment of 60 million yuan finally materialized. However, it is regrettable that the money will not arrive until the next day, one day later than the time required by the Football Association. There was also a more absurd and anxious topic among the people. The aforementioned relevant parties have been at odds with Cangzhou Lions Club: this money is purely for "access," and cannot be diverted for other uses. In other words, you must obtain access first before I can release the funds. The club stated that without seeing the money, the Football Association would not grant access first. To put it bluntly, everyone is afraid of "chicken flying and egg breaking." As a result, as of December 30th, the Football Association has not announced whether Cangzhou Lions have obtained access. Two days earlier, a well-known media person surnamed Li claimed that according to his understanding, the only team that might not pass the access is Hunan Xiangtao. However, a well-known media person surnamed Miao expressed that according to the "target deadline" promised by the Football Association, if there is no continuous strong intervention, Cangzhou Lions' access "seems uncertain." Miao further explained: In terms of access issues, Cangzhou Lions faced two problems: First, many players demanded wages on Weibo, embarrassing the Football Association. A few days later, the club sent an open letter demanding access, "which may make many people uncomfortable."…
