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 keeping Bai Yang is questionable.
Midfield adjustments: 1 player leaving, 2 completing contract renewals, and 1 strong reinforcement introduced.
The departing player is 30-year-old naturalized Li Ke, the successfully renewed are 34-year-old Chi Zhongguo and 32-year-old Zhang Xizhe, and the strong reinforcement introduced is potential naturalized Serginho, with the remaining players retained.
In addition, Guoan should sign another 1-2 midfield foreign aids.
Forward line adjustments: except for the departure of foreign aid Adenoro, all other players are retained.
Adenoro's level is limited, and he is physically fragile; he left the team as early as the second half of the 24th season of the Chinese Super League. The remaining players are composed of two parts, one part is the main framework of the national team, and the other part is foreign aids Fabio and Gonzalo.
At this position, Guoan should reinforce with another foreign aid in the future.
In summary, Beijing Guoan's lineup for next season is basically as follows. What do you think about this, fellow fans? Welcome to leave your comments and discuss in the comment section!
