Recently, the TaiShan team has officially begun its winter training schedule for the new season of the Chinese Super League. Due to the fact that many national-level players from the TaiShan team will be called up for training, head coach Choi Kang-hee will fully delegate the opportunity for second-team players to take on major roles in the first team. Among them, Zhang Yingkai, the main defender of the TaiShan team, is expected to become a dark horse in the team and become a new favorite of coach Choi Kang-hee by registering for the first team. Zhang Yingkai is an outstanding product of Luneng's 04 youth training program, alongside Buwalang and He Xiaoke. At that time, Luneng was affected by special reasons and was unable to send its first team to participate in the AFC Champions League. After comprehensive consideration, Luneng sent out its youth team to play in the competition. Zhang Yingkai played as the team's main defender, facing off against many Asian giants. Zhang Yingkai demonstrated the spirit of a young bull not afraid of tigers in the game, earning recognition. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yingkai's tackle statistics ranked first in that season's AFC Champions League, becoming a true AFC Champions League tackle king. Therefore, after many Luneng fans participated in the AFC Champions League, they could enter the first team to take on major roles. Unfortunately, Zhang Yingkai never met his mentor. Hao Wei did not give this AFC Champions League tackle king the opportunity to enter the first team, which made him feel very frustrated.…

For Guangzhou FC, a team that has won the AFC Champions League three times and lifted the Chinese Super League trophy eight times, recent days have brought an unprecedented challenge. It is reported that the club's entry qualifications are in question, with concerns from the Chinese Football Association that the team may not be able to resolve its financial issues in the short term, potentially leading to its disqualification from the upcoming 2025 season. Under the management framework of the Chinese Football Association, clubs must meet certain financial and administrative standards to obtain entry qualifications. Apparently, Guangzhou FC's failure to meet these financial criteria has become the decisive factor in its potential loss of entry qualifications. This is a deeply saddening message for the team's fans, who have cheered and celebrated the team's glory and triumphs. However, reality can often be cruel, leaving fans with only memories of the green fields and those shining moments. Guangzhou FC has a rich history and glorious record in China's professional football scene. Especially over the past decade, the team has won numerous honors on the Asian stage, including two AFC Champions League titles. The plight of Guangzhou FC is not just a crisis for one club; it is also a reflection of the overall environment of Chinese football. In recent years, many teams in the Chinese football league have faced similar financial problems, with incidents such as unpaid wages and club dissolutions becoming commonplace. These problems reflect both the immaturity and instability of the Chinese football market and expose many deficiencies in the…

After the departure of Oscar from Shanghai Port, the club officially announced that another key foreign player, Bargas, has also left the team. Bargas became a free agent after his contract with the harbor expired, and it is reported that his next destination will be Saudi Arabia. For the harbor, the departure of Oscar and Bargas is a huge loss, but the team still needs to look forward and prepare for the new season's games through recruitment. Just as Bargas left, the harbor signed a top foreign aid: the new Hulk created 5 goals in 5 games, shining in the AFC Champions League. Oscar scored 16 goals and assisted 27 times in 40 appearances for the harbor last season, averaging more than one goal per game. Bargas was also very important, scoring 18 goals and assisting 12 times in 38 appearances last season. Oscar and Bargas were the "big and small kings" of the harbor. They led the harbor to win the domestic double champion last season. The impact on the harbor is great because they will not play for the harbor next season. Fortunately, the harbor's recruitment work is relatively smooth, and it is reported that one new aid has been confirmed. On December 27th, according to the report of Xu Jiang, a well-known domestic media person, the Brazilian foreign aid Yang Matheus of Yokohama Mariners is about to join the harbor. As for Anderson Lopes, another Brazilian foreign aid from Yokohama Mariners, there is no agreement yet. The introduction of Matheus is a key supplement for the team.…

Following the departure of Oscar from Shanghai Port, the club officially announced that another key foreign player, Vargas, has also left the team. After his contract with Port expired, Vargas became a free agent, and it is reported that his next destination will be Saudi Arabia. For Port, the loss of Oscar and Vargas is significant, but the team must look ahead and prepare for the new season by bringing in new players. Just as Vargas left, Port signed a top foreign aid: the new Hulk created 5 goals in 5 games, shining in the AFC Champions League. Oscar scored 16 goals and provided 27 assists in 40 appearances last season for Port, averaging over one goal per game. Vargas was also important, scoring 18 goals and providing 12 assists in 38 appearances last season. Oscar and Vargas were the "big and small kings" of Port, leading the team to win the domestic double last season. The fact that neither of them will be playing for Port next season will have a significant impact on the team. Fortunately, Port's recruitment work is going smoothly, and it is reported that they have already secured one new signing. On December 27th, according to well-known domestic media personality Xu Jiang, Brazilian foreign aid Yan Matheus from Yokohama F. Marinos is about to join Port. As for Yokohama's other Brazilian foreign aid, Anderson Lopes, negotiations are not yet settled. The introduction of Matheus is a crucial addition for the team, as he is a powerful foreign aid with a style similar to former Port…

In preparation for the new season of the Chinese Super League, after the New Year's Day holiday, the entire Beijing Guoan team will head to Haikou for winter training. At that time, many players who were loaned out last season will return to the team, among whom three are particularly noteworthy: Quan Qilong, Liang Shaowen, and Jiang Wenhao. The 24-year-old Jiang Wenhao plays as a left-back on the field. He joined the Guoan first team in the 2021 season and once became the team's main left-back in the 2023 season. This summer, Jiang Wenhao was loaned to Changchun Yatai. Although he is not an absolute starter at Yatai, he still managed to showcase his abilities with limited playing time. Compared to Jiang Wenhao, Quan Qilong started higher at Guoan, having been selected for various age groups of the national youth and junior teams. The 23-year-old Quan Qilong is a versatile player in the midfield and defense, capable of playing as a center-back, defensive midfielder, and full-back. At just 18 years old in 2019, Quan Qilong had already joined the Guoan first team and represented the team in the AFC Champions League in 2021, earning six appearances. Last season, Quan Qilong was loaned to Liaoning Tieren in the China League One. With his outstanding performance and stable display, Quan Qilong quickly established himself as the starting right-back for Liaoning Tieren, scoring a goal in the 19th round of the league, with an overall commendable performance. Liang Shaowen, once the captain of the Guoan youth team, also represented the team in the…

Al Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, has not won any titles since claiming the Arab Champions League title. With only the Saudi league and the AFC Champions League remaining this season, Al Nassr's hopes of winning the AFC Champions League are higher as they trail league leaders Al Ittihad Jeddah by 11 points. The club is upgrading its forward line to support Ronaldo in his quest for glory. A dream signing worth 40 million euros is being considered to replace Talisca and aim for the AFC Champions League title. On December 26th, according to Turkish journalist Yago Sabuncuoglu, Al Nassr is pursuing En-Nesyri from Fenerbahce. It is reported that Al Nassr has made an oral offer of 30 million euros, while Fenerbahce is asking for 40 million euros. Given Al Nassr's substantial financial resources and the small difference in transfer fees, it is highly likely that the club will sign this Moroccan international. Furthermore, Al Nassr and Fenerbahce are discussing another transfer, indicating a close relationship between the two clubs. According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the deal for Al Nassr forward Talisca to join Fenerbahce on loan has been completed, with the player joining until June next year and Fenerbahce covering part of Talisca's salary during the loan period. With Talisca moving to Fenerbahce, Al Nassr aims to sign En-Nesyri to strengthen their forward line, and this deal is very promising. En-Nesyri left Sevilla for Fenerbahce in the summer for a transfer fee of 19.5 million euros. Selling him at a higher price after half a season would…
