Translation: The new training list for the men's football team includes a total of 32 players. The detailed list is shown in the figure below. In this issue, we will conduct a power ranking for them. Disclaimer: The author's ranking criteria are somewhat special, and the content does not smear any player. Those who wish to represent the national team in matches are all heroes. Fifth tier, with three players selected, including Wei Zhen, Fernandinho, and Yang Liyu. Ranking criteria: Attitude and performance did not meet expectations. Wei Zhen's performance did not meet expectations, as he often makes low-level mistakes at both the league and national team levels, such as watching the ball but not the opponent. Fernandinho has an attitude problem, for example, not chasing back after being dispossessed in the game and missing multiple national team training sessions. Yang Liyu also has an attitude problem. Fans who frequently follow Beijing Guoan know that his sharpness in the game seems to have been worn down. Fourth tier, with three players selected, including Han Pengfei, Cheng Jin, and Tao Qianglong. Ranking criteria: No performance opportunities in the World Cup qualifiers, and average potential. Han Pengfei, a '93-born player, has passed the period of improvement, and his skills and fundamentals are basically fixed. Cheng Jin plays with imagination, but unfortunately, his physique is a shortcoming, which will greatly limit his ability to reach higher levels. Tao Qianglong is similar to Cheng Jin, both mentally superior to physically, wanting to perform advanced moves but the body can't keep up. Third tier, with…

On January 12, the football world was stirred up as Russian blogger "RPL Sky" revealed that Beijing Guoan Club is set to welcome a strong forward reinforcement, none other than the Brazilian powerhouse Felipe Cardoso from the Russian Super League. This 187cm tall striker boasts unique charm on the field and a comprehensive skill set. Cardoso is a name that has left a deep impression on the Russian Super League. With his outstanding heading ability and keen sense in front of goal, he is equally adept at being an attacking force or an aerial fortress in defense. These qualities undoubtedly put pressure on the defenders in the Chinese Super League (CSL), who are known for their physical prowess. As a right-footed player, Cardoso's shooting technique is commendable. Within the penalty area, he always manages to seize fleeting opportunities, delivering high-quality shots that soar into the net. Long-range shots are his forte, and during critical moments, his powerful strikes are akin to surprise attacks on the battlefield, leaving opponents unprepared. His highlight reel during his time with Vegalta Sendai serves as a textbook of shooting techniques, showcasing his diverse scoring methods and comprehensive offensive capabilities. However, Cardoso's value extends beyond his role as a finisher; he is also a creator. His passing vision is broad, and he commands the field like a general, making timely and precise passes that hit the mark. His five assists with Vegalta Sendai demonstrate his creativity, which makes the team's offense flow seamlessly and continuously. This ability is a catalyst for Beijing Guoan's frontline attack, adding…

With the arrival of Malele to Dalian Yibenbo, the team has now secured their third foreign player. However, Dalian Yibenbo's spending spree is far from over. They have now set their sights on Mamadou, the former Beijing Guoan central defender. This latest scoop comes from a prominent online personality who had previously accurately predicted Malele's arrival. They now claim that Dalian Yibenbo's top target for a foreign central defender is Mamadou from Beijing Guoan, which seems quite likely. However, until an official announcement is made, nothing is certain, and it can only be said that there is currently contact between the two parties. The process of bringing Malele to Dalian Yibenbo was not without its twists and turns. There were rumors of him going to Shanghai Port at one point, but ultimately, Dalian Yibenbo managed to secure his signing. Therefore, securing Mamadou could also prove challenging. Mamadou is considered one of the better-performing foreign central defenders in the 2024 Chinese Super League season. In my personal opinion, Mamadou's abilities are more reliable than Engardu and superior to Beijing Guoan's new signing, Wu Shaocong. However, Beijing Guoan is looking to change their playing style this season and will no longer place their valuable foreign players in the central defensive position. The previous example of Shanghai Shenhua proves that champions cannot solely rely on defense; they must attack and keep attacking. As a newly promoted team like Dalian Yibenbo, winning the championship is incredibly difficult. They should focus on avoiding relegation first, much like last year's newly promoted teams, Shenzhen Xinpengcheng and…

The overseas journey of the Chinese national football team has ended in failure, with only one remaining player abroad also deciding to return to China for higher pay and is expected to be heavily utilized by the national team under Ivan's management. Beijing Guoan officially announced that they have signed Wu Shaocong from the Turkish team Istanbul. Wu Shaocong is currently the only player on the national team who has gone abroad, but his overseas experience has been quite bumpy. After not getting opportunities due to injuries at Istanbul, he joined the Polish league team Radomiak. However, upon arriving in Poland, Wu Shaocong suffered a thigh strain during his first training session and did not play in the first stage of the Polish Super League. Due to the lack of playing opportunities, Wu Shaocong decided to return to China, and with Guoan offering high wages, returning to the Chinese Super League was a natural choice. Guoan will also pay a transfer fee to the Turkish team Istanbul. Guoan is actively selling players, including some young players within the team to balance these costs. It has been confirmed that three players, Ruan Qilong, Ma Yujun, and He Xiaoqiang, will transfer to join the China League One team Chongqing Tongliang Long. Besides this, it is expected that Guoan will not make any big moves in terms of domestic signings. Currently, going abroad to play football also requires different considerations. Domestic fans always hope that our players will go to the top leagues when they go abroad, but the problem is that their…

First Signing in 2025! 1.88m Striker Joins Shandong Taishan, Cui Kangxi Has Two More Advantages, Aiming for the Championship Beijing time January 11th, let us continue to pay attention to the domestic football circle. The Super League giant Shandong Taishan team has already rushed to Shanghai on January 8th for a one-month winter training. This time the team chose Shanghai, which is convenient for travel and AFC Champions League matches, secondly, the training base facilities are better than Haikou, and in fact, Cui Kangxi has settled in Shanghai, which is beneficial for the old man to take care of his family. Currently, other Super League teams such as Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, Shanghai SIPG, Beijing Guoan, etc., have announced new foreign players or introduced local players, while Shandong Taishan team has not yet had specific news. However, on January 10th, according to media person Miao Yuan, the team officially announced that the first foreign player in 2025 has been released, which is 1.88 meters tall Tang Chuang. Many fans may not be very familiar with Tang Chuang. He is a forward player who played for Chengdu Rongcheng last season and has played for many teams such as Qingdao Hongshi. Overall, his physical quality is still very good, and he has become a reinforcement for Shandong Taishan in the forward position. As we all know, Shandong Taishan currently has Zeka, Bi Jinhuo, Delgado, Crespo, Xie Weneng, Yang Yongqi and other attacking players in the forward position. With the joining of Tang Chuang, the team can match more combinations in the forward position,…

Recently, the new signing center forward Tang Chuang of Shandong Taishan has joined the team for winter training. Many fans in Shandong are puzzled and believe that the team did not need to sign him. This is because Tang Chuang is already 29 years old and has been playing in the China League One in recent years. Shandong fans think it would be better to focus on the young talent Lu Yongtao from their youth training system, especially since the tall striker Liu Guobo, who was signed from Beijing Guoan, has yet to make his debut. Liu Guobo was a key player cultivated by Guoan, and he was originally thought to be as capable as Zhang Yuning. Liu Guobo's talent when he first started out was indeed remarkable, not inferior to Zhang Yuning at the same time. However, due to his thin physique, he struggled to establish himself in the Chinese Super League. Guoan gave Liu Guobo many opportunities to prove himself, but his highlights were few. In the 2022 season, he came off the bench in a CSL match for Guoan and performed a feat of dribbling past two defenders. Afterwards, Liu Guobo passed the ball to Zhang Yuning, who scored directly. Throughout his tenure with Guoan, this was one of his better performances, and as a forward, he only managed to score one goal for the team. With such underwhelming performances, Liu Guobo was naturally not offered a renewal by Guoan. Surprisingly, after his contract with Guoan expired, he secured a big contract with Shandong Taishan. Shandong Taishan…

Beijing Guoan displayed remarkable competitive levels in the 2024 season, achieving commendable results in both the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup, ultimately securing qualification for the new season's AFC Champions League. Such achievements should have solidified head coach Suarez's position, as his tactical acumen and leadership abilities were widely recognized and praised by fans. However, the club clearly had higher aspirations for the new season. In pursuit of the championship in the Chinese Super League, the management made a controversial decision to dismiss the meritorious coach Suarez and appoint Setien, who has richer coaching experience. This decision sparked some doubts but also reflected the club's determination and courage to strive for excellence. Upon taking over Guoan, Setien immediately demonstrated a distinctly different coaching style and philosophy from his predecessor. As a renowned coach with extensive experience in European football, he has unique insights into team building. Most notably, his approach to youth training players became the first major reform after his appointment. Under Setien's decision, five youth training players, including Liang Shaowen and Ruan Qilong, were sent away from the team. These players are excellent talents nurtured by Guoan's youth training system for years, representing the club's future hopes and showcasing impressive competitive levels, especially in the AFC Champions League. Among them, Liang Shaowen scored an impressive free-kick in the AFC Champions League, earning crucial points for the team and leaving a deep impression on fans. However, the development trajectory of these youth training players seemed to have fallen into an awkward dilemma. Despite serving under four head…

The winter transfer window for the Chinese Super League (CSL) has officially opened, providing teams with an excellent opportunity to strengthen their squads. Chengdu Rongcheng, for example, has successively brought in players such as Liao Lisheng, Han Pengfei, and Yuan Mincheng. The other three teams with AFC Champions League participation tasks have also made significant gains in the transfer market. Shenhua has announced a major signing, successfully securing Brazilian forward Mineiro for a transfer fee of $950,000. This move undoubtedly injects new vitality into Shenhua's front line and raises fans' expectations for the team's performance in the new season. In last season's CSL, Shanghai Shenhua only managed to secure the runner-up position. Many fans and media believe this was due to Marele's low goal-scoring efficiency, which caused the team to miss out on several matches they should have won. As a result, Shanghai Shenhua did not renew Marele's contract. It now appears that Slutsky has found a replacement for Marele. Just recently, Shanghai Shenhua officially announced that they have successfully signed Brazilian forward Mineiro. According to previous media reports, Shanghai Shenhua not only sent a transfer fee of 950,000toCearaˊbutalsoofferedMineiroathree−yearcontractwithanannualsalaryexceeding950,000 to Ceará but also offered Mineiro a three-year contract with an annual salary exceeding 950,000toCearaˊbutalsoofferedMineiroathree−yearcontractwithanannualsalaryexceeding1 million. The Brazilian striker scored 11 goals and provided 6 assists in 30 appearances after transferring from Yokohama FC to Ceará last season. Currently, Mineiro's market value on the German transfer market is 900,000 euros, which is 100,000 euros lower than Marele's. Most people outside do not favor Shanghai Shenhua's decision to sign Mineiro. After all,…

Among the four major giants of the Chinese Super League, Beijing Guoan has the most central defenders over 1.9 meters tall. When it comes to the four giants of the Chinese Super League, we can't say much about other aspects, but there is still something to be seen in terms of height advantage on defense. Especially for central defenders, players over 1.9 meters tall are simply a gift from heaven, and their ability in aerial defense is beyond question. Not only fans, but even coaching staff must pay special attention to these players, because their height advantage has almost become an absolute weapon to dominate the air. Speaking of these players with height advantages, we have to talk about the lineups of these four giants and see which team's central defenders have the most potential for "height is justice." Let's start with Shanghai Port. Here, the situation is a bit disappointing - the height of Shanghai Port's central defenders seems to have never been particularly outstanding, especially Wei Zhen, who is just a centimeter or two short, at 1.89 meters tall, barely considered tall, but can only be said to be somewhat useful. If they were to face opponents over 1.9 meters tall, it would really be a struggle. Looking at Chengdu Rongcheng, oh my, the situation is similar, with almost no central defender breaking the 1.9-meter mark, which directly affects their performance in aerial defense. On the other hand, Shandong Taishan does have a central defender over 1.9 meters tall - Marcel, who stands at 1.93 meters tall and…

Beijing Guoan's New Developments: Serginho Arrives, Seven Players Shine in the National Team, Transfer Drama in Full Swing? Hey there, fellow Beijing fans! Today, we're going to talk about our very own team - Beijing Guoan! Look at this excitement, it's like a pot boiling over, let's sort through this matter together. Did you know? The legendary Serginho has arrived in our Beijing territory with real gold and silver! He went straight to the Beijing Youth Daily after getting off the plane, blurting out "Number 10 jersey is my favorite." Hey, that shout almost overshadowed our captain Zhang Xizhe. But who is our Xizhe brother? He's seen big scenes and traveled through the world, and Serginho also knows how to be tactful, saying "Zhang Xizhe, awesome! I hope to cooperate well with him," showing great humility. Well, if these two can really spark on the field, our Guoan midfield will be as beautiful as a painting! After talking about the new signings, let's discuss the national team. As soon as the national team training roster was announced, oh boy, Guoan shone brightly, with seven major players listed: Li Lei, Wang Ziming, Zhang Yuning, Cao Yongjing, Lin Liangming, Yang Liyu, Han Jiaqi. This lineup is almost half of the national team! Look, except for Han Jiaqi and Li Lei who are stable in defense, the rest are sharp knives on the offensive line. Coach Ivan is turning the national team's frontcourt into Guoan's backyard? We have to give credit for this move! But then again, once these seven go to the…
