The first training list of the national football team in 25 years has a total of 32 players selected. It is expected that when the two World Cup qualifiers against Saudi Arabia away and Australia at home in March are played, the main list of 23 Chinese players will be determined from this group. Wu Lei is definitely out due to injury, and it is highly likely that the naturalization procedures for Serginho and Oscar will not be completed by March. Among the 32-man training list, which 9 players will eventually miss out? Goalkeeper position: It is predicted that Han Jiaqi from Beijing Guoan will miss out Wang Dalei and Yan Junling are the basic lineup for the national team's goalkeeper position, with one of them being the starter and the other being the first substitute. Compared to Jian Tao, Han Jiaqi had a better performance last season, so he was chosen to stay. Defensive line: It is predicted that Wei Zhen from Shanghai Port, Han Pengfei from Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, and Wu Mitijiang from Wuhan Three Towns will miss out Wei Zhen has good hardware talent and a good attitude towards the game, but his defensive instincts are poor, and his positioning and judgment of the ball's landing point are not good. Han Pengfei is now 31 years old and does not have the same value for development as Wu Shaoc

Recently, Beijing Guoan is under the leadership of new coach Quique Setien, striving to win the Chinese Super League and FA Cup titles in 2025. To achieve this goal, the team has not only brought in a big-name coach like Setien but also introduced several new players. Among them, Serginho has shown remarkable performance since joining Guoan. He demonstrated his superior skills during the friendly matches. Serginho's arrival has significantly improved Guoan's attacking and defensive capabilities. Notably, Serginho is the second naturalized player for Guoan, following another promising naturalized player introduced last season. This player is 25-year-old Zheng Tuoluo, who was once a key training target for a South American giant. Unfortunately, Zheng Tuoluo faced injury issues at a critical moment. As a result, Zheng Tuoluo chose to go abroad to play in the Spanish league. It turned out to be the right decision as Zheng Tuoluo secured a starting position in the lower divisions of Spain, which delighted many fans. After comprehensive evaluation, Guoan brought in Zheng Tuoluo. However, after joining Guoan in the summer transfer window of last season's Chinese Super League, he did not get any playing time. This is because Guoan already had an equally capable goalkeeper, Han Jiaqi. With Han Jiaqi as the main goalkeeper, Zheng Tuoluo had to wait on the bench. Fortunately, Zheng Tuoluo recently got consecutive opportunities to play in the warm-up matches and performed well. Whenever Guoan encountered defensive crises in the game, Zheng Tuoluo always stood out promptly, making many fans look forward to his future. In the future, Zheng…

Last season has just come to a close, and Beijing Guoan has stood out among many teams in the Chinese Super League (CSL), becoming one of the most efficient and swift in making adjustments. Their strategy is clear and decisive; they wasted no time replacing Suarez with the Spanish coach Quique Setien. Known for his rigorous and tactically innovative style, Setien's arrival undoubtedly injected new tactical concepts and command wisdom into the team. Following this, Beijing Guoan quickly introduced two significant new players, Serginho and Wu Shaocong. Serginho, with his excellent attacking ability and technical characteristics, is expected to create more scoring opportunities for the team on the front line. Wu Shaocong, on the other hand, adds a solid defensive presence and outstanding positional sense to the team's backline. Despite already securing a new coach and these two impressive new players, Beijing Guoan shows no signs of slowing down in their recruitment efforts. Recently, the club made another move by signing Brazilian midfielder Dawan Fran from Osaka Gamba of the Japanese J-League. This transfer is crucial for Guoan as it effectively addresses the long-standing gap in their midfield. Dawan Fran's exceptional intercepting and organizing abilities in midfield significantly enhance the team's strength and control. According to the latest accurate news, Dawan has successfully arrived in Haikou and joined the Guoan team. It is believed that he will soon appear on the training ground in Haikou, engaging in intensive integration and training with his teammates. The 28-year-old Dawan started his football career at Victoria Club's youth training system. Throughout his development,…

Translation of the article content into English: In the scope of the Chinese Super League (CSL), the main factors affecting the championship are three: domestic player strength, foreign player strength, and the coaching level of the head coach. Based on these factors, it is predicted that the new season's CSL champion will be born from the following three teams, excluding Shanghai Port. The first championship contender: Shanghai Shenhua Shenhua has an extremely luxurious domestic player lineup, with national team starters filling the midfield and defense, and young talents such as Dai Weijun, Liu Chengyu, and Wang Hanlong on the bench. The operational status determines the height of the foreign players, and Shenhua has sufficient operational funds, so there is no need to worry about the quality and level of the foreign players, and there is also a margin for error, allowing for adjustments at any time if things don't go well. Coach Slutzki has substance, but there are also problems that were overshadowed by last season's good luck. For example, his system relies too much on the midfield and set pieces for offense, with weak organizational ability. If Slutzki can enrich the tactical approach and expand the thinking in using players in the new season, the probability of Shenhua winning the championship will certainly increase. The second championship contender: Beijing Guoan Guoan's domestic squad is based on the national team's main players, with Wu Shaocong and Li Lei in defense, Serginho and Cao Yongjing in midfield, and Zhang Yuning and Lin Liangming in attack. In two words, it's luxurious. In…

In the winter of the 2025 season, Beijing Guoan immediately won two consecutive matches in the warm-up games, defeating Changchun Yatai 2-0 in the first game and Chongqing team from the China League One 4-2 in the second game. The team scored a total of six goals in these two matches, leading many fans to say that Quique Setién is more advanced than Gerardo Pelusso. The main point is that Setién's interpretation of possession football is considered more sophisticated than Pelusso's. For instance, his approach to pressing after mistakes involves one-on-one challenges and group efforts, which is the theoretical foundation for him to coach a top club like Barcelona. He emphasizes high pressing and ball control. With the return of national team players to Beijing Guoan, his philosophy of controlling the game will become even more profound. There was a report stating that Setién is a master at chess, with an official chess ranking, indicating that this coach has a very high IQ. Currently, Beijing Guoan aims to maintain a high win rate against weaker teams and avoid being outplayed by strong opponents in high-scoring matches. Last year, Beijing Guoan lost too many points against weaker teams; the author remembers losing twice to Shenzhen Xinpengcheng and once away to Changchun Yatai. At that time, Pelusso was called "Song Jiang," the "timely rain" of the Chinese Super League by fans. Pelusso's regional defense was not ideal, and he used valuable foreign players in central defensive positions. Numbers don't lie; last season, Shanghai Shenhua conceded 20 goals, Shanghai Port 30, Chengdu Rongcheng…

During the off-season, four Chinese Super League (CSL) clubs have completed coaching changes. As a result, the head coaches for all 16 teams in the new season of the CSL have been basically finalized, setting the stage for a fierce competition among the top teams. In this article, the author will introduce the head coaches of the 16 teams in the new season based on their rankings from the previous season, listed in descending order. The head coach of Shanghai Port remains Muscat. During the off-season, the team experienced significant changes in its lineup, with two key midfielders, Oscar and Bargas, leaving the club. With the absence of these crucial midfield players and the difficulty in finding suitable replacements, it remains uncertain whether Muscat's attacking football strategy will still be effective in the new season. The head coach of Shanghai Shenhua is still Slutsky. Last season, Slutsky led the team to a runner-up finish in the league, an impressive achievement. However, behind this success lies an element of luck that has somewhat masked some of the team's issues. For instance, can the team find a more reliable striker than Malele? Will the remarkable Yu Han-chao continue his magic in the next season? The head coach of Chengdu Rongcheng is still Xu Zhengyuan. Objectively speaking, Xu Zhengyuan is indeed skilled, capable of orchestrating rich tactical combinations with ordinary domestic players and a few foreign players. The head coach of Beijing Guoan has changed from Suarez to Setien. Setien is Spanish and has coached at prestigious clubs such as Barcelona, advocating for…

As the curtain is about to rise on the 2025 Chinese Super League (CSL), the three giants of Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Shenhua, and Shanghai Port have all completed their first warm-up matches, each showcasing their unique strengths. Beijing Guoan has displayed impressive offensive firepower in their warm-up matches. Despite the absence of eight national team players, they continue to dominate on the field. In their first warm-up match against Changchun Yatai, who they defeated 8-1 last season, Guoan showed no signs of complacency and secured another victory with a 2-0 score. They also triumphed over a China League One team with a 4-2 victory. In these two matches alone, Guoan has scored six goals, demonstrating their formidable attacking prowess. As the saying goes, "Offense is the best defense." Guoan, despite their incomplete lineup, relies on their strong offense to exert immense pressure on opponents and instill hope for the future among fans. Currently, Guoan's foreign players are not yet fully assembled, but with the return of the eight national team players and the anticipated arrival of Dawan, if foreign players from the Spanish La Liga can also join successfully, Guoan's strength will be further enhanced, truly taking off and becoming an undeniable force in the CSL. Shanghai Shenhua, on the other hand, has adopted a relatively relaxed strategy in their warm-up matches. They faced newly promoted Dalian Yingbo, fielding five foreign players in the first half, which not only showed respect for their warm-up opponents but also highlighted their depth in squad configuration. After all, since the second half of…

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…

On January 17, 2025, a transfer news shook the football world. According to "AS", Juanpe, the defender of Girona in La Liga, is about to embark on a journey to Beijing Guoan, a Chinese Super League giant. And all this seems to be closely related to Girona's pursuit of Eric Garcia, the Barcelona defender. Garcia, who is regarded as a future star by Girona coach Michel, will make Juanpe's position in the team precarious if he successfully joins. This news has caused quite a stir among CSL fans. Guoan, a team that is always good at creating surprises in the transfer market, has once again become the focus of attention. However, this time, the reaction of the fans is complex - expectation and doubt coexist. Guoan's recent recruitment strategy has always been a hot topic among fans. From Engadu to Mamadou, Guoan seems to always find those "black and hard" powerful players in the transfer market. However, this time, general manager Li Ming made an unexpected decision: to replace them with Juanpe. Is this a wise move? To answer this question, we must first look at Juanpe's strength. In La Liga, Juanpe is known for his excellent defensive ability and deep understanding of the game. He not only has excellent physical quality but also has a profound insight into football. Such a player can undoubtedly add a touch of brightness to Guoan's defense line. However, problems arise: Can Juanpe adapt to the rhythm and style of the CSL? Can he perfectly integrate with Guoan's existing system? After all, from La…

Beijing Guoan's new coach, Setien, has been working hard to impart his tactical philosophy to the players since taking over the team. The results have proven that Setien's efforts have not been in vain. Beijing Guoan has shown impressive form in their recent two warm-up matches, achieving two consecutive victories. As a result, many fans believe that Beijing Guoan has become the first Chinese Super League club to show championship potential in the new season, and they are looking forward to what the future holds for the team. Naturally, the Beijing Guoan club management is very pleased with such evaluations. The reason behind this is that the Beijing Guoan club management has spent a significant amount of money to bring in Setien as their coach, with the goal of winning titles under his leadership. Additionally, Beijing Guoan has brought in Serginho to strengthen their squad. Serginho is a versatile player with considerable talent, who had an excellent performance during his time at Yatai. Whenever Yatai found themselves in a difficult situation during matches, Serginho was always there to make a difference. To bolster their midfield, Beijing Guoan chose to sign Serginho. In just two warm-up matches representing Beijing Guoan, Serginho has already made a significant impact on the team's midfield. Many fans who watched these two warm-up matches feel that the team has undergone a qualitative change, and they credit Serginho and Setien for this transformation. Moreover, Beijing Guoan boasts several national team players, and their domestic players are also exceptionally strong. Beijing Guoan's goalkeeper, Han Jiaqi, has consistently delivered…
