China's national football team has officially concluded its winter training for the New Year, with most of the players returning to their respective clubs to continue training. The head coach, Ivanković, needs to finalize the squad for the away match against Saudi Arabia during this period. A total of 31 players were called up for the training camp, but only 26 are needed for the away match against Saudi Arabia, meaning that 5 players will not make the cut. Firstly, goalkeeper Han Jiaqi is likely to be left out due to his average performance during the training camp. This was evident when he was outplayed by Wei Shihao's spectacular goal during a group confrontation. Therefore, Han Jiaqi will not be included in the squad for the away match against Saudi Arabia. In the central defender position, Han Pengfei and Wu Mitijiang have a high probability of being excluded. Han Pengfei is considered a fringe player for the national team, rarely representing the team in matches. Hence, he is likely to miss out on the squad for the away match against Saudi Arabia. Wu Mitijiang's main focus during the training camp was to experience the atmosphere of major competitions. He needs to fully recover from his injuries to establish himself in the national team. Lastly, Maiwulang and Yang Liyu also have a high likelihood of not making the squad. The failure of these five players to impress Ivanković is seen as expected by many fans. The key for the national team is to adjust to their best form before the away…

In the La Liga match that concluded on January 19th, two title contenders, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, both suffered unexpected setbacks. After Atletico's 0-1 defeat to Leganes away from home, it presented Barcelona with an opportunity to close the gap in points, but Barcelona only managed to secure 1 point this round. Similarly, in their away match against Getafe, Barcelona took the lead with a goal from Kounde, only for Aillabarri to equalize for Getafe. The young player, known as "Barca Kid," did not perform well in this game, and it's time for Barcelona to give him a wake-up call. In the 1-1 draw, the 17-year-old rising star had 7 shots without scoring and lost possession 24 times, frustrating Lewandowski with a showy cross. In the 9th minute of the game, Pedri delivered a precise through ball, piercing through Getafe's defense. Kounde's initial shot was blocked, but he followed up to score, giving Barcelona a great start. In the 34th minute, Getafe's Dakosta's volley was saved by Pena, but it rebounded off Aillabarri, who gratefully deflected the ball into the net. Neither team could change the scoreline for the rest of the game, ending in a draw. Currently, Atletico leads La Liga with 44 points after 20 rounds, followed by Real Madrid with 43 points after 19 rounds, Barcelona with 39 points after 20 rounds in third place, and Athletic Bilbao with 36 points after 19 rounds in fourth. Real Madrid has a chance to top the league, so Barcelona needs to step up their efforts. In the match against…

The reasons behind Tianjin Women's Volleyball sweeping Shandong have come to light, and it's neither luck nor the referees. Netizens have keenly pointed out that when you look beyond the wins and losses, it's clear that the physical fitness of the players sets the two teams apart at different levels. Shandong Women's Volleyball needs to step up their game as they currently face a comprehensive gap with Tianjin. The current Tianjin team trains through competition, with a comprehensive development of reserves. Each player is full of fighting spirit, and everyone strives for excellence. Playing each match seriously is not only a responsibility to themselves but also a perfect embodiment of the competitive sports spirit. Chen Boya's many shots today were soft and weak, almost all defended by the opponent, but after the coach called a timeout and gave some instructions, she improved significantly, and Liu Meijun performed very well today. As for Jiangsu team, if they give Fujian a favor by playing a friendly match, it's hard to say who will make it to the top four between Shanghai and Fujian in the end! Without Xiaocaiwa, Shanghai team is only at the level of Liaoning and Fujian. If Shenzhen team were replaced by Liaoning or Beijing, it would be hard to say who would make it to the top four! This season, every member of the Tianjin women's volleyball team is a true hero and a fine man. Li Yingying is an unshakable pillar forged from steel. Today's performance by Meijun was outstanding, and Boya was not bad either! Chen…

Recently, the Guangdong team has been incredibly lucky! Good news keeps pouring in, making one wonder: is the championship already reserved? Firstly, let's talk about the first piece of good news: our Xu Jie has become the CBA All-Star vote king! This is no joke; it's a true reflection of the people's choice! Think about it; this season, he single-handedly carried the Guangdong team's flag, leading the team from the depths to where they are now, achieving a remarkable seven consecutive victories. The amount of sweat and effort behind this is evident to all of us. He excels at organizing offense, with precise mid-range shots, three-pointers, and breakthroughs, and his defense is as stable as Mount Tai. He also grabs rebounds with ease, and most importantly, he endures high-intensity battles for forty minutes per game, truly embodying the spirit of an iron man! His title as the vote king is well-deserved, without a doubt! The second piece of good news is even more exciting! Our captain, Hu Mingxuan, is coming back! He is an indispensable piece of the puzzle on Guangdong's championship quest! This guy is both offensive and defensive, with top-notch personal abilities among domestic guards. He is proficient in strong drives, mid-range shots, and three-pointers, and most importantly, he is exceptionally hardworking. His relentless focus on defense is commendable! With him, Guangdong's fighting power will surely soar! Lastly, and perhaps the most anticipated good news: Guangdong is set to introduce a fourth super foreign aid! To challenge for their twelfth crown, what else do they need? Of course,…

Currently, the CBA 11-time champion Guangdong team is on a winning streak, unstoppable, and making great strides, returning to the ranks of top championship contenders in the CBA. It can be said that Guangdong team can now consider planning strategies for the playoffs and even the finals. What does Guangdong team lack if they want to win the CBA championship this season? They just need an attacking and defensive swingman with strong scoring ability. At present, there are two rumored foreign players, Blackney and D'Angelo Russell, who are expected to join Guangdong team. The probability of former CBA super scorer Blackney joining Guangdong team is 40%. Who is Blackney? Born in 1996, he is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 87 kilograms. He is a former NBA Bulls player and has played for Nanjing and Jiangsu teams in the CBA league. Blackney's scoring ability is astonishing. During his time in the CBA league, his scoring was like capturing cities and pulling up fortresses, and he could do anything from mid-range shots, breakthroughs, to three-pointers, making him a true phenomenon-level scorer in the CBA league. If Guangdong team's general manager Zhu Fangyu can really get this tough guy, Guangdong has a chance to win the CBA championship this season. Now Blackney has posted a picture on his social media celebrating Xu Jie, the local war god of Guangdong, getting a triple-double. I wonder if this implies that he wants to join the 11-time champion Guangdong? If it's true, it would be a stroke of luck for Guangdong team. The probability of D'Angelo…

Compared to Zhang Mingchi and Zhang Hao, who are indeed like mud that cannot be made into bricks, Xu Xin, with his outstanding static talent, has not received the attention of Du Feng this season, which is indeed regrettable. After Zhou Qi's departure, Xu Xin has not been able to get enough attention from Du Feng. After finally getting more than 15 minutes of playing time in several previous games and scoring in double digits in three consecutive games, Du Feng benched Xu Xin in the derby against Guangzhou, where he only played 4 minutes and scored 2 points with 3 rebounds. In the big win against Fujian, if the point difference had not continued to widen in the final quarter, Xu Xin might not have gotten any playing time at all. In the final quarter of the game against Fujian, both teams sent out their substitutes, especially Guangdong, which even fielded an all-Chinese lineup. Xu Xin played for 9 minutes in this quarter, making all 2 shots for 6 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists. He decisively seized the opportunity to score, protected the rim with rebounds, and facilitated from a high position, seemingly trying to prove to Du Feng that he deserves more playing time. Currently, all three of Guangdong's foreign players are big men (Bazley, Morland, and Jilunwate), so it is indeed difficult for domestic big men to get many opportunities. However, if Guangdong wants to pursue higher goals this season, they will likely need to sign another foreign player with good scoring ability to share the…

As a seasoned sports commentator, today I want to talk about the recently announced Top 10 Female Athletes in China's Sports World for 2024. This list is always highly anticipated, and this year there are quite a few unexpected changes. Let's take a look together. The biggest surprise is that table tennis queen Sun Yingsha only ranks fourth. You should know that Sun Yingsha is this year's Grand Slam winner, taking the mixed doubles gold medal at the Paris Olympics and sweeping the women's singles, team, and mixed doubles titles at the Asian Games. In theory, such achievements should be enough to secure her the top spot. However, the selection criteria in the sports world are always complex, considering not only results but also breakthroughs and influence. So, who is number one this year? The answer is tennis player Zheng Qinwen. Zheng Qinwen's performance this year has indeed been eye-catching. Not only did she reach the final of the Australian Open, creating new heights for Chinese tennis players, but she also bravely won the women's singles gold medal at the Paris Olympics, which is the first Olympic singles gold medal in the history of Chinese tennis. Tennis is a major international sport, and achieving a breakthrough in this field undoubtedly has a remarkable impact. Following closely behind is diving prodigy Quan Hongchan. This post-00s youngster once again demonstrated her astonishing skills at the Paris Olympics, successfully defending her women's 10-meter platform title and winning the gold medal in the women's synchronized 10-meter platform with her teammates. Quan Hongchan's performance not…

On January 18th, Beijing time, the 2025 Australian Open continued. In a focus match of the first round of women's doubles, the Chinese pair Wang Xinyu/Zheng Saisai saved match points to defeat the cross-border pairing of Wang Xiuyu and Putinceva. During the game, Wang Xinyu's high looks and sweet smile left a deep impression on the fans. Although the draw for the women's singles was not good and she drew the fifth seed Badosa in the first round, Wang Xinyu still had a chance to win. Her wonderful offense made the audience at the Australian Open exclaim continuously. Unfortunately, due to too many unforced errors, Wang Xinyu missed the victory. After being eliminated from the women's singles, Wang Xinyu devoted all her energy to the doubles court. She and Zheng Saisai's combination once trailed 2-5 in the decisive set under an unfavorable situation, but they fought back tenaciously, saved match points, and won five consecutive games to advance to the second round of the women's doubles. After successfully advancing, Wang Xinyu is expected to continue challenging and impacting her second Grand Slam doubles championship trophy. The 23-year-old Wang Xinyu was born into a sports family. Her father is Wang Peng, the former coach of the Chinese national tennis team, and her mother is a basketball player. Inheriting her parents' excellent athletic genes, Wang Xinyu stands at 1.82 meters tall, with solid fundamentals and no weaknesses in forehand or backhand. Wang Xinyu became famous at a young age. She is the first post-00s Chinese tennis player to participate in the main…

In the lead-up to the new season of the Chinese Super League, Beijing Guoan Club has experienced an unexpected personnel change. Just as they returned from Cameroon to join the team for winter training, foreign central defender Enjadeu suddenly submitted an application for early contract termination. This decision caught the club off guard and left fans feeling surprised and regretful. Enjadeu's tenure with Guoan has been quite successful. Since joining the team, the Cameroonian central defender has proven himself a valuable addition with his strong physique, excellent defensive awareness, and crucial on-field performances. He quickly became an indispensable core figure in the team's defensive line. Under his leadership, Guoan's defensive system significantly improved, and the team's overall strength strengthened. Last season, Enjadeu's performance was particularly commendable. He demonstrated exceptional defensive capabilities in multiple key matches, often defusing dangerous situations at critical moments to preserve important points for the team. It was largely due to his contributions that Guoan finished fourth in the Chinese Super League, a commendable achievement. Such performances led the club to place high hopes in him, hoping to renew his contract and further strengthen the team's defense. However, when everyone expected Enjadeu to continue with the team, he made an unexpected decision. Despite having half a year left on his contract, he expressed a desire to terminate it early and return to play in European leagues. His reason was to better serve the Cameroon national team, which came as a great surprise to newly appointed head coach Setien and the club's management. This sudden turn of events…

Why did Liaoning Men's Basketball Team reverse Ningbo? The answer is obvious, many people haven't noticed yet! Netizens have pointed out incisively and vividly that Liaoning Men's Basketball Team's domestic players, except for Dahan, are too poor in finishing. Once the foreign aid is not in good condition, the game is easy to lose, and it's not just one or two games. I don't know why they have been in such a bad state all the time. In addition, the refereeing standards of this game are too ridiculous, with one side being a body hair whistle and the other side being a free fighting whistle! Fu Hao is nothing, he can't even score under the basket, so trade him away quickly, he must lose if he is on the court. Now Fu Hao of Liaoning team is a big hidden danger in the team, his offense is not good, his defense is slow and often misses people, he is really not as good as Wu Changze, but he gets top salary, others will definitely feel uncomfortable. Zhao Jiwei has been injured for so long, and it is obvious that he has lost weight. What he lacks is physical recovery, not the so-called state. At the critical moment when the score is close, Yang Ming only believes in the cooperation between the old players who have been with him for many years. When a new player makes a mistake, he panics, which is a normal psychology and also a real fear of losing. The only way out for Liaoning Men's Basketball…
