Beijing Guoan has had a mediocre performance in the Chinese Super League and FA Cup this season, failing to win any titles. As a result, Guoan decided to part ways with Suarez and invited Setien to become the new head coach. Setien is a very capable head coach who has previously managed Barcelona. If Setien can have an immediate impact upon taking over Guoan, he could lead the team to victory in matches and potentially win championships.
Guoan is also expected to bring in several new signings in the transfer market to strengthen the squad for Setien's leadership. Notably, Guoan organized a friendly match to test the results of their winter training. They played against the Luneng Youth Team and won 4-0, with a multi-flowered offensive display. Among them, Guoan forward Yan Yu performed well, scoring twice.
Although Yan Yu scored twice for Guoan, it is uncertain whether he will remain with the team for the new season. Playing as a winger, Guoan is not short of players in that position, with even substitutes being strong players who have been selected for the national team. In such circumstances, if Yan Yu stays at Guoan, he may only be able to sit on the bench. Therefore, it is recommended that Yan Yu be loaned out from Guoan to find a club where he can secure stable playing time.
Following this line of thinking, Jinmen Tiger head coach Yu Genwei could consider signing Yan Yu to reinforce the team's wing position. Yan Yu is a very talented forward who has had remarkable performances in the past, consistently scoring goals when representing the team in the U21 league. This led to him establishing himself in the first team of Guoan and becoming a key player for the team to cultivate.
However, Yan Yu only occasionally started for the first team of Guoan and did not receive consistent playing time. Therefore, choosing to go on loan to Jinmen Tiger could allow him to gain recognition from the young head coach Yu Genwei. Yu Genwei is known for his ability to turn players around, having previously revitalized Barton, who was also struggling at Guoan. If Yan Yu performs well after joining Jinmen Tiger, he could become a core player for the team and reach new heights.
