With the appointment of new coach Setien and the addition of Serginho through naturalization, it seems that the Chinese Super League championship in 2025 is beckoning to Beijing Guo'an. However, football is unpredictable, can Beijing Guo'an really win the championship steadily? Let's start with the opening situation and delve into Beijing Guo'an's prospects for winning the championship.
First, let's look at some data: In the past five seasons, Beijing Guo'an has consistently ranked high in offensive performance, averaging 12 shots per game and maintaining a high position in league goal-scoring. This attacking firepower undoubtedly adds considerable weight to Beijing Guo'an's chances of winning the championship. However, football matches are never one-sided competitions, and Beijing Guo'an's midfield and defense also face significant challenges.
The midfield issue is a major pain point for Beijing Guo'an. Despite the injection of new vitality from the new coach and newcomers, there are still concerns about the organization and creativity of the midfield. Data shows that in past games, Beijing Guo'an's midfield passing success rate was only 60%, far below the league average. This not only affects the team's offensive fluidity but may also become a stumbling block on the road to the championship. Although the newly arrived foreign aid is technically outstanding, whether they can quickly integrate into the team and generate chemistry with other players remains to be proven over time.
Looking at the defensive line, while overall performance has been stable, adjustments to individual positions might bring better results. For example, some fans have suggested considering starting Feng Boxuan and using Wang Gang as a substitute. Such adjustments might make Beijing Guo'an's defense even more solid. Of course, this is just a suggestion from fans, and the actual effect still needs to be tested in practice.
Speaking of practical combat, we must mention Beijing Guo'an's historical record. Over the past 30 years, Beijing Guo'an has won the league championship multiple times but has also experienced low points. These ups and downs are both a valuable asset and a driving force for the team. The spiritual core of Beijing Guo'an - "Always Striving for First" - embodies this indomitable spirit.
However, winning the championship is no easy feat. Besides the team's own strength, many factors need to be considered, including opponents' conditions, scheduling arrangements, player injuries, and more. Some fans jokingly say, "If Beijing Guo'an wins the championship this year, I'll live stream eating a keyboard!" Although exaggerated, such remarks reflect fans' expectations and tension for Beijing Guo'an to win the championship.
On the football field, anything can happen. Beijing Guo'an, although strong, still faces uncertainties on the road to victory. This is also the charm of football; until the last moment, no one can predict the outcome.
So, can Beijing Guo'an win the championship in 2025? There is no definitive answer because football matches are never simple power struggles. But what we can be sure of is that Beijing Guo'an has the potential and strength to win the championship. As long as the players unite and play to their level, they have the chance to lift the trophy symbolizing honor.
As for the fans, regardless of the result, they will always support their team. Because for them, winning the championship is important, but even more important is the spirit of "Always Striving for First" and the experience of growing together with the team. As an experienced fan once said, "Whether or not we win the championship doesn't matter; what matters is that we're together."
Therefore, whether you are a Beijing Guo'an fan or a supporter of another team, let's all look forward to this season full of uncertainties and challenges! Perhaps in the near future, we will see Beijing Guo'an lifting the glittering trophy on the green field. And that moment will be a shared moment of glory for all Beijing Guo'an fans.
Finally, let's end this article with a slogan from Beijing Guo'an fans: "Beijing Guo'an Always Striving for First, We Stand With You!" In this season filled with suspense and anticipation, let's cheer for Beijing Guo'an together!
