With the arrival of 2025, many clubs have already begun preparations for the new season. Beijing Guoan, a veteran powerhouse in the Chinese Super League (CSL), recently traveled to Haikou to start their first winter training session of the new year. Several new faces have joined the team during this training camp, including newly signed foreign player Serginho and a young domestic player, Wu Shaocong, a national team central defender. The 24-year-old Wu Shaocong comes from the Beijing Baxy youth training system. He can play as a central defender and full-back on the field. After leaving Beijing, he went to Japan to develop and played for the U19 youth team of J-League club Shimizu Pulse. Upon returning to China, Wu Shaocong joined Guangzhou Evergrande. During his time at Evergrande, Wu Shaocong was selected for the national team multiple times and is considered a very promising young player. After leaving Evergrande, Wu Shaocong went abroad to play in the Turkish Super League but did not find much success. In this situation, Wu Shaocong decided to return to the CSL and join Beijing Guoan. Originally scheduled to report to the national team on January 9th for a ten-day short-term training camp, he arrived early in Haikou and joined the Guoan team for a day of training. New Guoan coach Quique Setien and his coaching staff are very impressed with Wu Shaocong's abilities. His physical condition, technical skills, and tactical understanding all meet Setien's requirements, making him a potential starting player for Guoan's defense in the new season. Wu Shaocong's addition will further…

Beijing Guoan fans have finally received some long-awaited good news! During the winter training period, the team's lineup has been strengthened with the return of some key players, which has greatly boosted morale. Key players such as Zhang Yuning, Lin Liangming, and Li Lei have returned to the team one after another, and foreign players have also arrived in succession. Serginho, the newly naturalized player, is particularly anticipated. Especially after the arrival of Setien, who once coached Barcelona, the team's tactical style has gradually changed, seemingly injecting new vitality into Guoan. During the winter training, what fans are most concerned about is undoubtedly the condition of these players and the integration of the team. Looking back at Guoan's winter training, the lineup has evolved from being stretched thin at the beginning to gradually taking shape, bringing a glimmer of hope. Many fans feel that the confusion at the beginning of the season seems to have dissipated. The return of key players like Zhang Yuning and Li Lei has significantly enhanced the team's overall strength. "This is the Guoan I've been looking forward to!" Some fans commented, expressing growing confidence in the team's lineup. Especially seeing the tacit cooperation between Serginho and Zhang Yuning, it makes people look forward to their better performance in the new season. This season, Guoan not only has stable midfield coordination but also more creativity and attacking threats in the offensive end, and the overall cohesion of the entire team has been enhanced. Although the lineup is gradually complete, an important issue that has not been…

Currently, from various sources, it appears that last season's foreign central defender for Beijing Guoan, Mamadou, will not be renewing his contract with the team. As a result, for the 2025 season, Beijing Guoan's central defensive pairing will be handled by Cameroonian international Ngadeu-Ngadjui and Wu Shaoc

In the world of football, there is an old saying that "good steel should be used on the blade," but the question is - is the blade sharp enough? The winter transfer operations of Beijing Guoan have once again become the focus of fans' attention, especially after the news broke that Liao, a product of Evergrande's youth training, and Wu Shaocong, a national team defender, are about to join. Many fans have already started to envision the passionate scene of the "rekindling of Gongti" in the new season. However, the question arises: can these two transfers enable Guoan to break away from the fate of "starting high and ending low" in the past few seasons and become a strong contender for the Chinese Super League (CSL) championship? Let's start with Wu Shaocong. As a player who has played in the Turkish Super League, his name is not unfamiliar to domestic football fans. This young man is tall and has strong physical confrontation abilities, with solid performances on both the Turkish Super League stage and international competitions. More importantly, the experience he has accumulated overseas can be considered as the "stabilizing force" that Guoan's defense urgently needs. In recent years, Beijing Guoan's defense has been jokingly referred to as a "shoddy project" by outsiders. In key matches, defensive errors often put the team at a disadvantage. The introduction of Wu Shaocong is undoubtedly an attempt to make up for this "weakness." He not only possesses top-level individual defensive skills but can also drive the growth of other young players through his…

According to Spanish media "canarias7", former Beijing Guoan's meritorious foreign aid Jonathan Viera hopes to return to Beijing Guoan, and now they have had contact. It is understood that Viera has received offers from La Liga, Segunda División teams, and also received an invitation from Beijing Guoan, he prefers to return to Beijing Guoan. According to the latest news from the Spanish media, Viera played a role in promoting Setien's coaching of Beijing Guoan this time, and he also hopes to fight side by side with Setien again. The data shows that from October 2015 to June 2017, Setien was coaching the La Liga team Las Palmas, and Viera also served during this period, and both Setien and Viera are very familiar with each other. If he returns to Guoan this time, the two can fight side by side again. Viera is currently 35 years old, valued at 700,000 euros, and is in the late stage of his career. Previously, Viera played 88 times for Beijing Guoan, scoring 30 goals directly and assisting 30 times, and has always been a very important attacking player for the team. Since leaving Hurfeikan, Viera has always been a free agent. That is to say, Beijing Guoan can sign Viera for free this time. A few days ago, Beijing Guoan player Yu Dabao also took a cordial photo with Viera, which may confirm the news that Guoan has contacted him. To be honest, Beijing Guoan really lacks good midfielders right now. Zhang Xizhe's form is obviously not as good as before, and the performance…

With the opening of the 2025 Chinese football winter transfer window, Beijing Guoan Club has announced a notable list of departing players just as they embark on the second phase of their winter training. The list includes five prime players: Ma Yuju, Liang Shaowen, Ruan Qilong, Yan Yu, and Xiaoqiang, all of whom are in their prime playing years. This news has immediately attracted widespread attention within the football community. The release of this departure list is not coincidental but a well-considered decision by the Guoan Club. Although these five players were once highly anticipated, various reasons prevented them from fully showcasing their talents at Guoan. Among them, the most noteworthy is the strong interest shown by Chongqing Tongliang Long in three of these players. This ambitious second-tier team aiming for promotion plans to bring in Ma Yuju, Liang Shaowen, and Xiaoqiang, hoping to leverage their abilities to push the team towards its goal of reaching the top league. Chongqing Tongliang Long's recruitment plan comes with a special background. Last season, Tongliang Long displayed remarkable competitiveness, with promising prospects for promotion. However, they fell short at a critical moment, failing to achieve their desired promotion to the top league. This setback did not diminish the team's ambition; instead, it intensified their desire for promotion after completing a shareholding reform. Consequently, during this transfer window, Chongqing Tongliang Long has been exceptionally proactive, seeking to strengthen their squad by recruiting skilled players. Among the three potential new additions to Chongqing Tongliang Long, Xiaoqiang's experience stands out. He demonstrated exceptional skills while playing…

In the early days of 2025's Chinese football transfer market, Shanghai Shenhua Club completed an important signing, with former Arsenal and Beijing Guoan player Li Ke officially joining the team. This transfer not only attracted widespread attention from the football world but also demonstrated Shenhua's thoughtful planning for the new season. Recently, Li Ke was seen at Shanghai Airport wearing a Shenhua scarf, marking the official start of his Shenhua career. This moment was hard-won, as before this, Li Ke's destination had been a mystery. Multiple media outlets reported that he had close ties with Chengdu Rongcheng, and there were even rumors that he would soon join Rongcheng, making the final result of him joining Shenhua quite dramatic. A careful analysis of Shenhua's decision to sign Li Ke reveals that it was a well-considered choice. Firstly, Shenhua is currently facing the issue of updating its naturalized players. The previous naturalized player who played for the team, Fernando, did not perform well last season and failed to demonstrate convincing abilities, which directly led to difficulties in continuing his stay at the club. In this situation, Shenhua urgently needs a new naturalized player to fill the gap. Secondly, looking at the team's lineup structure, Shenhua's defensive midfielder position urgently needs reinforcement. The team's current main defensive midfielder, Wu Xi, is already 36 years old, and although experienced, his age makes it difficult for him to maintain peak form. The young player Wang Haijian, who the team has focused on cultivating, has potential but lacks consistency in performance. Therefore, bringing in an experienced…

"Whoever is missing feels awkward, after the announcement of the national football team's roster, these twelve players will bid farewell to the national team forever" The new training list of the Chinese men's national football team has sparked heated discussions online. Familiar names such as Wu Lei, Zhang Linpeng, and Hao Junmin are no longer on the list. Instead, three newcomers have been selected: Hou Yongyong, Wumiti Jiang, and Maiwulang. This script of generational change is either a hopeful transformation or another inconclusive attempt. National team coach Ivankovic has signaled that the national team needs to be younger and more local, turning over a new leaf. However, what everyone cares about most is whether such changes will be effective. Is youthification an opportunity for drastic change or just an excuse to give up completely? Speaking of the national team, one cannot avoid the "golden generation." Going back to the 2018 Russia World Cup qualifiers, that team was seen by many as the "most promising" national team. At that time, Wu Lei, Zhang Linpeng, Wu Xi, and Hao Junmin formed the core lineup of the team. Especially Wu Lei, known as the "No. 1 forward in Asia," was the greatest pride of Chinese football fans. In the game, he repeatedly dribbled the ball forward and scored goals, becoming the symbol of China's offensive play. Unfortunately, despite their desperate efforts, they ultimately failed in the qualifying stage. It wasn't that they didn't try hard enough, but rather that their technical abilities and systemic weaknesses were too obvious. The outside world saw that…

Recently, the red ocean of basketball has receded early, and the football field has once again been filled with the cheers and shouts of various teams seeking opportunities. It's another season that football fans have been eagerly awaiting, with everyone's attention focused on the fiercely competitive fertile ground of the Chinese Super League (CSL). Especially for Beijing Guoan, a traditional powerhouse team, their performance in the new season is eye-catching, making people忍不住想说：“Guoan really won big!” Speaking of this topic, a recent episode left a deep impression. According to the report of "China Sports Daily", Guoan has gradually shown its strong team strength during the winter training period in the new season's preparations, and made bold attempts and adjustments in player recruitment and coaching staff, especially the iconic introduction of Setien, a world-renowned coach, which caused quite a stir in the football circle. On the national team side, there was also good news. The Chinese Football Association announced the latest training list at the beginning of this month, among which Guoan received a substantial nomination, with as many as 7 players selected, which is astonishing. This number is not easy. Other teams are struggling to make ends meet, but only Guoan can be said to have "unique scenery". As time goes by, we gradually see that Guoan has indeed taken the lead in many aspects. After last season, the team introduced Setien, who is known as the "football philosopher," began to formulate specific and meticulous plans for player recruitment and preparation for the team. Guoan is not only decisive in the…

During the off-season, five Beijing Guoan players have left the team after their contracts expired, including veterans Zhang Chengdong and Yu Dabao, foreign players Adebenro and Mamadou, and naturalized player Li Ke. Among these five, one is currently unemployed, which is Adebenro. In the Chinese Super League (CSL) season 24, Adebenro only played 18 games for Guoan, scoring 3 goals and providing 4 assists. In mid-to-late August of 24, Adebenro left due to injury and was unable to recover before the end of the CSL season 24. His poor attendance rate was the main reason for Guoan's decision to let him go. Currently, Adebenro has not received any offers from other clubs. Three of them have found new clubs, including Zhang Chengdong, Mamadou, and Li Ke. In the CSL season 24, Zhang Chengdong played a total of 12 games for Guoan without scoring or assisting. After leaving Beijing Guoan, he chose to join Shao Jiayi and is currently training with Qingdao West Coast during the winter. There are a total of 11 players aged 32 or above in the West Coast team, and the 35-year-old Zhang Chengdong joining the team does not make him the oldest player, and there is even a chance for him to become a regular starter. Mamadou's new club is likely to be Dalian Yingbo, a newly promoted team in the CSL. In the CSL season 24, Mamadou played 25 league games for Guoan, averaging 0.68 tackles, 0.76 interceptions, and 5.68 clearances per game. This player is energetic and plays a stable style, which will definitely…
