Beijing Guoan's new season personnel adjustments will follow two principles.
Principle one: Stick to the old rules and strengthen the lineup with the goal of winning the championship.
Principle two: The characteristics of new recruits should match the coaching style of head coach Setien, which is to play ground-based football.
Following these principles, Beijing Guoan's squad adjustments have begun. The author will introduce them in detail in the order of departing domestic players, renewing domestic players, introducing domestic players, and foreign aid changes.
The departing domestic players are currently defenders Zhang Chengdong and Yu Dabao, and midfielder Li Ke.
Zhang Chengdong, an 89-year-old player, is now 35 years old. His contract with Beijing Guoan has expired, and both sides will not continue their cooperation. In the 24th season of the Chinese Super League, Zhang Chengdong played 12 games for Beijing Guoan, with no goals or assists. The latest news is that Zhang Chengdong is reported to be participating in winter training with Qingdao West Coast.
Yu Dabao, an 88-year-old player, is now 36 years old, and his contract with Guoan has also expired. According to Li Ming, the manager of Guoan, they should keep Yu Dabao and help him transition to a coaching role. In the 24th season of the Chinese Super League, Yu Dabao made 16 appearances for Beijing Guoan, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist. As for Li Ke, who was naturalized, he bid an emotional farewell to the fans and teammates at home in the final game of the 24th season of the Chinese Super League.
Renewed domestic players include Wang Gang, Chi Zhongguo, and Zhang Xizhe.
According to authoritative domestic media "Beijing Youth Daily," Wang Gang and Chi Zhongguo have successfully renewed their contracts with the team. Zhang Xizhe will not leave the team either. Li Ming, the manager of Guoan, clearly stated that Xizhe is the most important player for the team and a key target for renewal.
The introduced domestic player is Serginho, who will join the team in mid-January 25th. Serginho can dribble, provide assists, and shoot, and his addition will surely enhance the strength of Beijing Guoan's midfield.
In terms of foreign aid, Fabio, Guga, and Engadu are likely to stay, while Mamadou and Adebenro will leave.
Fabio and Guga have contracts in place and performed well last season, so they will definitely stay. Among the two central defenders, Engadu and Mamadou, Guoan will only keep one to free up a spot to strengthen the midfield. At present, it seems that the former is more likely to stay. Adebenro is not very strong and often gets injured, so he will not be kept.
The new foreign aid target has also been revealed, and it is none other than former Guoan midfielder, Villarreal.
Villarreal is now 35 years old, but given his abilities, coming to the Chinese Super League would be a dimensional drop. He can alternate with Serginho or Zhang Xizhe in case of injuries and can start for 70 minutes without any problems. This signing is quite feasible.
The above is the main content of Beijing Guoan's squad adjustments. What do you think about this, fellow football fans? Welcome to leave your comments and discuss in the comment section!
