The current head coach of the Chinese men's football team, Ivan Kozlovic, is highly regarded by fans and the media. The main reasons for this are threefold. Firstly, he has extensive coaching experience and can bring advanced tactical concepts to the team. Secondly, he is adept at tapping into the potential of players, allowing each player to perform at their best. Lastly, he possesses excellent communication and leadership skills, capable of uniting the entire team. Firstly, the Chinese men's football team is performing well. In the Asian qualifying round of the World Cup Group C, the Chinese team is currently at the bottom of the table but only one point behind second-placed Australia. It seems that the Chinese team has a good chance of advancing to the top four of the group. If they work harder, as Ivan Kozlovic said, there is even a possibility of directly qualifying for the World Cup. Secondly, the Chinese men's football team used to be like a scattered mess, but now it has coalesced into a solid force! Especially in the first match of the 18-strong competition against the Japanese men's football team, fans who watched the live broadcast may have fallen into despair! On the field, the players had no coordination and failed to reach a consensus in their thinking. The outcome was naturally disastrous. However, when they faced the Japanese team again, the players' performance on the field was completely different. They were willing to sacrifice and take on more responsibilities for their teammates. At this point, the Chinese men's football team…

The head coach of China's national football team, Ivan Kozlovic, stated in an interview with foreign media that the Chinese team has a good chance of securing a direct spot in the World Cup. Therefore, our plan for scoring points in the next four matches of the top 18 qualifiers will undergo changes. Ivan Kozlovic said: The first six rounds of the top 18 qualifiers have been completed, and although we are at the bottom of Group C, the national team is tied on points with Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain with 6 points each. It is only because the national team has fewer goal differences than their opponents that it ranks last. This indicates that the national team still has the opportunity to compete for the fourth-round playoff. However, the national team is only one point behind Australia, who is second in Group C. If the national team can perform well in the remaining four matches next year, directly advancing to the World Cup finals is not impossible. Therefore, "Ivan Kozlovic will make significant adjustments to the national team's scoring plan and personnel tactics." The specific adjustments are as follows: "The new Chinese Super League team Yunnan Yu Kun and Beijing Guoan are about to introduce Oscar and Serginho. The two players are just waiting for an official announcement to join their new clubs. Moreover, the naturalization process of these two players is underway." "Oscar and Serginho are expected to represent the national team in the remaining four matches of the top 18 qualifiers before March next year." Oscar…

Recently, after returning to Croatia, the head coach of the Chinese national football team, Ivanković, stated in an interview with local media that the national team still has a chance to compete for second place in the group, which is a direct qualification for the World Cup. He also emphasized that the matches against Saudi Arabia and Australia next March will be crucial, as they will determine whether the team can take the initiative in the race for second place, as Saudi Arabia and Australia are the main opponents for this position. After six rounds, the national team is only one point behind second-placed Australia and is only separated by goal difference from Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain. Therefore, there is really a chance for the national team to directly qualify for second place, depending on their performance in the last four matches. However, South Korean media have published articles mocking the national team, telling them not to fantasize. Last month, "SPOTV NEWS" published an article titled "China Team 2 wins and 4 losses with 6 points at the bottom, but still dreaming of directly entering the World Cup." Today, another South Korean media outlet, "OSEN," also published an article mocking the prospects of the national team's World Cup campaign. Upon seeing a viewpoint published by Japanese media "Football Digest," which states that in the early 1990s, both Chinese and Japanese football started professionalization at the same time. At that time, the Chinese team often defeated the Japanese team, but since 2002, the gap between Chinese and Japanese football has…

Introduction: The departure of Oscar has brought new variables to the Chinese Super League landscape, while Beijing Guoan has been quietly accumulating strength. A former Barcelona coaching team is about to take their positions, much like an experienced navigator boarding a ship, ready to lead the team through the waves. Lin Liangming is akin to a sharp blade on the domestic front line, shining with the afterglow of Real Madrid and already showing his potential. Naturalized player Serginho, rumored to be joining, is like a star waiting to shine, with his glorious record in the AFC Champions League as proof of his abilities. Two foreign player slots carry the hope of winning the championship, presenting both opportunity and challenge. Guoan is like a chess player making careful moves in the transfer market; will they win the title in the new season? With the departure of Shanghai Port's Oscar, players like Guga and Fabio from Beijing Guoan have seen their values rise into the top 10 in the Chinese Super League, especially with the addition of the rumored AFC MVP. As of December 26th, it seems that Beijing Guoan's lineup has become more formidable than other teams. They have a coaching team with a former Barcelona background. According to online reports, Setien and his three assistants will arrive in Beijing on January 3rd next year and officially lead the team in the second phase of winter training in Haikou on January 6th. At that time, the new coach and the foreign coaching staff will join the team. This coaching team includes…

Recently, a blogger on social media revealed that Zhou Jun, the former general manager of Shanghai Shenhua Club, is working as a real estate agent in West Asia! This news has sparked heated discussions among fans and media attention. For those who have been following the Chinese Super League for a long time, Zhou Jun, the general manager of Shanghai Shenhua Club, is no stranger. Zhou Jun can be considered a hero of Shanghai Shenhua Club. During his tenure, he helped the club win two FA Cup championships, leaving a significant mark in the history of Shenhua Club. Why did Zhou Jun go to West Asia to work as a real estate agent this time? The reason is the second round of anti-corruption efforts in Chinese football, in which Zhou Jun was involved! As the former general manager of Shanghai Shenhua, he can be described as a big fish! It now appears that he has fled! Unexpectedly, Zhou Jun also fell! The reason for Zhou Jun's involvement is said to be shady dealings in player transfers. In 2017, during several high-profile transfers, Zhou Jun made a lot of money. The players came to Shenhua, but their performance did not meet expectations, leading to doubts! And during this comprehensive football reform, Zhou Jun was exposed! However, Zhou Jun had planned ahead and fled to Spain. He then went to West Asia. Along with Zhou Jun's escape were some of his former subordinates. They are now all selling houses at a real estate company. However, their current living conditions are not good,…

Recently, the anti-corruption campaign in China's sports world has been like a hurricane sweeping away once-prominent sports officials from their pedestals. From the life imprisonment of Chen Xuyuan, the former chairman of the Football Association, to the 14-year imprisonment of Du Zhaocai, the former deputy director of the General Administration of Sport, and the 20-year sentence for Li Tie, the former head coach of the men's football team, the scale and depth of this anti-corruption struggle are unprecedented. Among the series of fallen officials, the most notable is Gou Zhongwen, the former director of the General Administration of Sport. Gou Zhongwen, who once held an important position in China's sports world, was arrested after being investigated for serious violations of discipline and law. His downfall not only marks a significant achievement in the anti-corruption struggle within China's sports sector but also triggers deep reflection on the future development of Chinese sports. During Gou Zhongwen's tenure as director of the General Administration of Sport, the Chinese sports delegation achieved remarkable results at both the Tokyo Olympics and the Beijing Winter Olympics. However, behind these glories lay hidden undercurrents. Gou Zhongwen's various crimes ultimately did not escape legal sanctions, and his downfall became an important milestone in the anti-corruption struggle within China's sports world. Before Gou Zhongwen, Cai Zhenhua, a table tennis player by origin, was considered a hot candidate for the directorship of the General Administration of Sport. With his profound background in table tennis and his passion for the sports cause, Cai Zhenhua made tremendous contributions to the development of…

Once Wu Lei left for La Liga's RCD Espanyol, he quickly became the focus of fans and media across China. Many fans even woke up in the middle of the night to watch Espanyol's matches just to catch a glimpse of Wu Lei's performance on the field. His goal against FC Barcelona, one of the giants of La Liga, sent the nation into a frenzy. However, since Wu Lei's return from Espanyol, no other Chinese player has appeared in either La Liga or the Segunda División. Now, a young Chinese talent has emerged in Spain with the potential to follow in Wu Lei's footsteps and join the Segunda División (second tier). Spanish media suggests that this young Chinese player is more suited to compete in the Segunda División than Wu Lei, as he possesses a stronger physique and superior heading ability, making him a more comprehensive player overall. In August of this year, the 19-year-old Du Yuezheng transferred from Póvoa de Varzim's youth team, which competes in the fifth tier of Portuguese football, to Marbella FC, a team in the third tier of Spanish football (Xijiajia). Initially, neither Spanish nor domestic media were optimistic about Du Yuezheng's prospects at Marbella, believing he would be a benchwarmer at best. However, after joining Marbella, Du Yuezheng has consistently been given playing opportunities in the Xijiajia league. On September 8th, in the third round of Group B of the 24-25 Xijiajia season, Du Yuezheng made his official debut for Marbella against Ceuta, coming on as a substitute in the 82nd minute and thus…

Al Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, has not won any titles since claiming the Arab Champions League title. With only the Saudi league and the AFC Champions League remaining this season, Al Nassr's hopes of winning the AFC Champions League are higher as they trail league leaders Al Ittihad Jeddah by 11 points. The club is upgrading its forward line to support Ronaldo in his quest for glory. A dream signing worth 40 million euros is being considered to replace Talisca and aim for the AFC Champions League title. On December 26th, according to Turkish journalist Yago Sabuncuoglu, Al Nassr is pursuing En-Nesyri from Fenerbahce. It is reported that Al Nassr has made an oral offer of 30 million euros, while Fenerbahce is asking for 40 million euros. Given Al Nassr's substantial financial resources and the small difference in transfer fees, it is highly likely that the club will sign this Moroccan international. Furthermore, Al Nassr and Fenerbahce are discussing another transfer, indicating a close relationship between the two clubs. According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the deal for Al Nassr forward Talisca to join Fenerbahce on loan has been completed, with the player joining until June next year and Fenerbahce covering part of Talisca's salary during the loan period. With Talisca moving to Fenerbahce, Al Nassr aims to sign En-Nesyri to strengthen their forward line, and this deal is very promising. En-Nesyri left Sevilla for Fenerbahce in the summer for a transfer fee of 19.5 million euros. Selling him at a higher price after half a season would…

Shanghai Shenhua has had a disappointing season in both the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup, failing to achieve the expected championship titles, which is a pity for many fans. As a result, the club is set to make adjustments, with head coach Sluyski putting players he deems surplus to requirements on the transfer market. Among them, Malele has already been officially announced by Shenhua as leaving the team. After being introduced to Shenhua in the 2023 season, Malele performed well. Whenever Shenhua found themselves in a deadlock during matches, Malele was always the first to step up and turn the tide. This earned him the title of Shenhua's top scorer and a new contract. However, his performance this season was not up to par, with missed opportunities in key games. Following Shenhua's lackluster season, Malele chose to leave the club. In addition to Malele, Dai Weijun, Xie Pengfei, Jin Yangyang, and Xu Yougang are also potential candidates to be placed directly on the transfer market. Dai Weijun joined Shenhua in the 2023 season but failed to deliver a convincing performance. Coach Sluyski did not give Dai Weijun much playing time after taking over as head coach. Therefore, Dai Weijun, in his prime, is unlikely to remain a substitute at Shenhua. Dai Weijun needs to find a team where he can secure regular playing time, a goal shared by Xie Pengfei. Xie Pengfei may join Chengdu Rongcheng and has already made contact with his potential new club. It should just be a matter of negotiating some transfer details before…

Recently, the anti-corruption campaign in China's sports world has been like a surging wave, one after another impacting the public's vision, and the news of many high-level sports officials falling has left people gasping. Let's talk about the heaviest weight: former director of the General Administration of Sport Gou Zhongwen was first expelled from the party and then directly arrested. Even Liu Guoliang was rumored to have been "fired". Invisibly, Cai Zhenhua, who has retired, became the biggest winner. In August 2022, Gou Zhongwen left the General Administration of Sport. At that time, many people thought he had successfully retired. After all, during his tenure, our delegation achieved quite good results in the Tokyo Olympics and the Beijing Winter Olympics. However, the brilliant achievements of the two Olympics would not allow him to escape the sharp blade of anti-corruption. Now thinking about it, Gou Zhongwen's downfall was not unexpected. When Li Tie was investigated, some people speculated that there was a "big fish" lurking. Unexpectedly, Gou Zhongwen is this "big fish", becoming the highest-ranking official to fall in the field of Chinese sports. The one who competed with Gou Zhongwen for the position of director of the Sports General Administration was Cai Zhenhua. If we talk about the history of the national table tennis team, Cai Zhenhua is definitely an important milestone figure. Although his athletic record was not outstanding, he rose to management and discovered a large number of talents. Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui, Ma Lin, Wang Hao and other top players are all his proud disciples. It can…
