In March of next year, the Chinese men's football team will face a crucial match against Saudi Arabia. The Saudi team, once a dominant force in Asia, seems to be on a downward trajectory in recent years. With a record of only one win, three draws, and two losses in the first six rounds of the World Cup qualifiers, their performance has been somewhat lackluster compared to their past glory. This decline was particularly evident in the recent Gulf Cup, where they suffered a surprising defeat at the hands of the relatively weaker Bahrain team, which undoubtedly dealt a significant blow to their morale. However, this presents a rare opportunity for the Chinese men's football team. Facing such a struggling Saudi team, China's chances of victory are significantly increased. To prepare for this important match, the Chinese team has made ample preparations. Wu Lei, the forward who has excelled with his Spanish club, will join forces with two naturalized players—Serginho and Little Oscar—to compete for the national team. Their addition is expected to greatly enhance the overall strength of the Chinese team. Wu Lei is known for his remarkable speed and shooting ability, often creating excellent scoring opportunities for his teammates with his breakthroughs and passes in the frontcourt. Serginho and Little Oscar, on the other hand, have distinguished themselves with their exceptional technical skills and physical prowess in their respective leagues. Their presence will undoubtedly add more attacking options and defensive fortitude to the Chinese team. When facing Saudi Arabia, the primary task for the Chinese team is to…

With the opening of the Chinese Super League's winter transfer window drawing near, there have been numerous rumors about player transfers among various teams, including the traditional powerhouse of the Chinese Super League - Beijing Guoan. Since the departure of Mamichevich and Desosa, Guoan's midfield has been lacking a versatile defensive midfielder. Last season's addition to Guoan, Guga, although playing as a defensive midfielder, is actually a No. 6 player who primarily serves as a link on the field and is not a true "beast" type player. Therefore, the focus of Guoan's recruitment during the winter transfer window is a good foreign defensive midfielder. Recently, there were rumors that Carvalho, the current Portuguese international playing for La Liga team Real Betis, was expected to join Guoan. However, this 32-year-old Portuguese midfielder suffered a major Achilles tendon rupture last season and almost didn't play any games, making him an unlikely choice for Guoan. According to the latest news, Guoan's top choice for a new defensive midfielder is former Brazilian international Rafinha. The 31-year-old Rafinha comes from the youth training system of La Liga giants Barcelona and joined the first team in 2011. This Brazilian midfielder possesses excellent dribbling and breakthrough abilities, performs well defensively, and has a high football IQ. From the 2011 to 2020 seasons, he was a key rotational player in Barcelona's midfield, representing the team in 56 rounds of La Liga matches, scoring 8 goals, with an overall commendable performance. Afterwards, he was successively loaned to Celta de Vigo in La Liga and Inter Milan in Serie A.…

After the departure of Oscar from Shanghai Port, the club officially announced that another key foreign player, Bargas, has also left the team. Bargas became a free agent after his contract with the harbor expired, and it is reported that his next destination will be Saudi Arabia. For the harbor, the departure of Oscar and Bargas is a huge loss, but the team still needs to look forward and prepare for the new season's games through recruitment. Just as Bargas left, the harbor signed a top foreign aid: the new Hulk created 5 goals in 5 games, shining in the AFC Champions League. Oscar scored 16 goals and assisted 27 times in 40 appearances for the harbor last season, averaging more than one goal per game. Bargas was also very important, scoring 18 goals and assisting 12 times in 38 appearances last season. Oscar and Bargas were the "big and small kings" of the harbor. They led the harbor to win the domestic double champion last season. The impact on the harbor is great because they will not play for the harbor next season. Fortunately, the harbor's recruitment work is relatively smooth, and it is reported that one new aid has been confirmed. On December 27th, according to the report of Xu Jiang, a well-known domestic media person, the Brazilian foreign aid Yang Matheus of Yokohama Mariners is about to join the harbor.

Recently, former head coach of the Chinese men's football team, Li Tie, has filed an appeal due to his dissatisfaction with a 20-year prison sentence. Many fans and media outlets have criticized and accused Li Tie, believing that a 20-year sentence is already too lenient! If only he had known this would be the outcome, why did he do it in the first place? Indeed, Li Tie's negative influence has been significant, causing even greater harm to Chinese football. During his tenure coaching two second-tier teams, Hebei China Fortune and Wuhan Zall, Li Tie used match-fixing to lead both teams to promotion. Honestly speaking, at that time, Chinese football was flourishing, which also cheered up the fans! Fans were more optimistic about the future of Chinese football due to Li Tie's ability to lead the teams to promotion! However, behind Li Tie's success in leading the teams to promotion, there were actually shady deals. Later, when he joined the national team, Li Tie's behavior became even more despicable! While receiving a salary from the national team, he also received a salary from the club and made money through social media advertising! Honestly, as a player who played for many years and helped the Chinese men's football team reach the World Cup finals, Li Tie had already amassed great wealth! Yet, Li Tie's appetite grew larger and larger, ultimately leading to his downfall. Although fans detest Li Tie, there are still national team players who have spoken out in support of him. In just five days, two former national team players…

The Chinese national football team is currently on vacation, with only a few days left until the New Year. However, their attention is focused on the Arabian Gulf Cup, where two of their opponents in the top 18 group, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, have already made their appearances. To prepare for the resumption of the top 18 matches next March, the national team plans to hold a temporary training camp in Haikou next month, which will be personally led by head coach Ivankovic. There is now new information about the time and number of players for the new training session. According to "Beijing Youth Daily", the national team is expected to gather in Haikou around January 8th, with the training period not exceeding 10 days. Coach Ivankovic will formulate a detailed preparation plan based on the performance of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, along with other coaching staff members. Media reports also suggest that the coaching staff is expected to call up about 30 players for this training session. Some older players, such as Wu Lei, are absent due to injury, while newcomers like Wu Shaocong and Wumiti Jiang may be selected.

The 26th Arab Gulf Cup football tournament hosted by Kuwait is nearing its end, with all matches in Group A's final round ending in draws, including a 1-1 draw between the UAE and Oman, and a 1-1 draw between Kuwait and Qatar. As a result, Oman and Kuwait have advanced to the semi-finals, while the UAE and Qatar have been eliminated early. As the reigning champions of the last two Asian Cups, Qatar has experienced a rapid decline following their performance in the Gulf Cup, which is quite surprising. In the first round, Qatar drew 1-1 with the UAE, and in the second round, they were overturned by Kuwait with a score of 1-2, accumulating only one point and falling to the bottom of the group. In the final round, only a victory would give them hope of advancing. Facing host Kuwait in the final round, Qatar maintained a possession rate of over 65% throughout the match, with more shots on goal, corners, and scoring opportunities than their opponents. However, their efficiency in converting these opportunities into goals was not high. Neither team scored in the first half, but in the 74th minute of the second half, Kuwait broke the deadlock. Qatar, facing a desperate situation, launched a fierce counterattack and managed to equalize the score at 1-1 in the 100th minute, at which point the match ended. According to the latest world rankings, Qatar is ranked 48th, while Kuwait is ranked 134th. This draw can be considered a major upset. Thus, Qatar accumulated only two points in three rounds,…
