Translation of the article content into English: On January 10th, Beijing time, new news came from the Chinese Super League transfer market. Shenzhen New Pengcheng officially announced that the team has signed Jiang Zhipeng from Wuhan Sanzhen. This former international is an excellent left-back and was still a key player for Sanzhen despite his age. It is a pity that Sanzhen lost Jiang Zhipeng. Looking at the player turnover at Sanzhen, quite a few players have left the team during the winter window. With Jiang Zhipeng's transfer, 9 players have left Sanzhen in the winter window! Rongcheng and Zhejiang took advantage: each signing one national team player. Jiang Zhipeng played 23 times for Sanzhen last season, scoring 2 goals and providing 4 assists. Sometimes he could single-handedly support the left flank attack for Sanzhen, and his offensive attributes were important to Sanzhen. At 35 years old, Jiang Zhipeng still has the ability to compete. He returned to Shenzhen and became a New Pengcheng player, helping New Pengcheng complete relegation in the new season. Sanzhen had won four championships in three years during its glorious period, but due to economic problems, the team had to cut back on investment, leading to a decline in overall strength. Last season, they only ranked 11th in the Chinese Super League and faced survival issues, barely passing the FA entry requirements. Before the start of the new season, nine players have already bid farewell to Sanzhen, facing a major reshuffle of the squad. Like Jiang Zhipeng, Zhang Xiaobin, a midfielder from Sanzhen, also went to…

As the new season of Chinese professional football league is about to kick off, Beijing Guoan Club is actively preparing under the leadership of their new head coach, Setien. As a traditional powerhouse in the Chinese Super League (CSL), Guoan aims not only to perform well in the league but also to make a strong push for the FA Cup. During this critical period of preparation, one of the most notable focuses is the development prospects of He Yupeng, a key signing for the 2025 season. After taking office, Setien immediately set out to adjust the team's technical and tactical system, planning to test the training results through four high-level friendly matches. Among them, the most eye-catching is the match against Shanghai Shenhua, which can not only test the overall strength of the team but also provide an important stage for some fringe main players to showcase themselves. For players like He Yupeng who are eager to prove themselves, this is undoubtedly a rare opportunity. He Yupeng's career development trajectory is quite dramatic. Before joining Guoan, he was already a highly regarded player. With his outstanding personal abilities, he won the favor of then national team coach Yang Keqi, successfully entering the national team. This experience with the national team not only proved his strength but also greatly increased his value in the transfer market. As a newly promoted international player, He Yupeng naturally became a sought-after target by various clubs. During the transfer process, He Yupeng had the opportunity to join Shandong Taishan. This choice was quite attractive because…

The successful promotion of Dalian Yingbo not only brought Dalian football back to the stage of the Chinese Super League but also allowed many people to see the emergence of young players. Among them, Zhu Pengyu and Mao Weijie's outstanding performances have become a highlight on the road to promotion, especially Zhu Pengyu, whose growth and progress have filled people with hope for the future of Dalian football. As a new player, Zhu Pengyu's eye-catching performance in the season, especially his several key goals, demonstrated his strength and made everyone look forward to his entry into the Chinese Super League or even higher platforms. When it comes to Zhu Pengyu, many fans' first reaction may be his several key goals, especially the decisive goal in the last round of the game. At that moment, it seemed like all Dalian fans were crazy. For him, it was not just a goal but a reward for Dalian football and a symbol of his desire to contribute to his hometown's football. Looking back at this goal, Zhu Pengyu's calmness and decisiveness are enough to prove that he has transformed from a promising young man into a player who can stand out in critical moments. Reviewing Zhu Pengyu's growth process, he was not able to easily cope with the fierce competition of the China League One at first. In an exclusive interview with Football News, Zhu Pengyu mentioned the full preparations he had made to meet the challenges of the Chinese Super League. He frankly stated that if he failed to enter the Chinese…

Beijing Guoan had commendable performances in last season's Chinese Super League (CSL) and the FA Cup, securing qualification for next season's AFC Champions League. Suárez, the head coach of Guoan, initially thought his reappointment was a foregone conclusion. However, with the team aiming to push harder for the championship next season, they opted to part ways with Suárez and bring in Setién to take the reins. Setién is a highly capable head coach with a proven track record. His decision to join Guoan has generated significant anticipation among fans. He has already begun leading the team through winter training to familiarize himself with the players' characteristics. During this period, apart from the two new signings, Wu Shaocong and Serginho, who have already joined the squad, there will be additional foreign players joining as well. Currently, Guoan's foreign players include Gouga, Fabio, and Engadu, and the team is looking to reinforce with two new foreign players. The prerequisite for Guoan to reinforce with two new foreign players is that Serginho must be eligible to play as a domestic player before the start of the new CSL season. Currently, Guoan is working diligently to complete the naturalization procedures for Serginho. If all goes smoothly, Guoan may be able to secure Serginho's domestic player status before the commencement of the new CSL season. Guoan's two new foreign player positions will focus on the forward and central midfield roles. The team has parted ways with Adenoro at the forward position, as he failed to deliver the expected level of performance after joining the team.…

On January 10th, Beijing time, the second day of the Chinese men's football team's training in Haikou has arrived. The highly anticipated naturalized player John Hou Saetre also gave his first media interview during the training period. Hou Saetre, who was selected for the national team for the first time, expressed with emotion that he was very happy to return to his motherland, and he also stated that the level of the Chinese Super League is slightly higher than that of the Norwegian First Division (Norwegian second-tier league). Hou Saetre frankly admitted that although he was somewhat tired due to a long-haul flight of 30 hours, he was still very happy to be able to return to his motherland: "There are still some jet lags that haven't been adjusted, but I believe that after a few days of adjustment, I will be able to get these states to the best." Regarding his first selection for the national team, Hou Saetre frankly said that he would be somewhat restrained: "My Chinese is not yet fluent, but I am very happy to be able to come back and see these old friends, especially those former teammates from Guoan. It's almost 2 years since I last saw them. Yesterday, I did have a more in-depth chat with them." Regarding Ivan's focus on observing him and giving him more attacking responsibilities, Hou Saetre frankly said that there would be pressure but also more motivation: "I played in the number ten position in Norway, and everyone has seen me score some goals. For this reason,…

Last year, Zhejiang team ranked seventh in the Chinese Super League but was one of the most imbalanced teams in terms of attack and defense. They scored 55 goals in 30 rounds, ranking fifth just behind the top four, but their defense was very poor, conceding 60 goals in 30 matches, only better than Nantong Zhiyun (66 conceded goals). The team had a severe bias, with a strong attack and weak defense, which was also the key reason for not qualifying from the group stage in the AFC Champions League secondary competition. This winter, Zhejiang team has not yet officially announced the joining of new signings or the departure of old players. However, according to various rumors, Zhejiang is expected to focus on rebuilding the defensive line combination and improving the efficiency of the front line under increased investment in the new season. Previously, the goalkeeper Fan Jinming and the young forward Ning Fangze, who was selected for the national youth team, left the team and joined Dalian Kunpeng of China League One; five main players in the midfield and backcourt, including Wang Dongsheng, Wang Yang, Gu Bin, Jin Haoxiang, and Zheng Xuejian, may leave the team. Additionally, the foreign golden boot winner Leonardo, who was on loan for one and a half seasons, is currently being contacted by both Zhejiang and Shanghai Port, but the probability of him joining Zhejiang is relatively low. With departures come arrivals. After bidding farewell to the veterans, Zhejiang is also introducing young talents for renewal and strengthening the lineup. During the winter training…

With the opening of the Chinese Super League (CSL) winter transfer window, news about transfers has been pouring in. As the reigning champions of the CSL, Harbor FC has been particularly active with transfer rumors. According to the latest report from "Sports Weekly," Harbor FC has essentially secured Matheus Vital, the tough midfielder from Brazilian club Cruzeiro, pending an official announcement. It is reported that as early as before Christmas, Harbor FC had contact with Matheus Vital. At the time, many teams were pursuing him, and he was once close to transferring to a Mexican club. However, Harbor FC ultimately won Vital's favor with their advantages and sincerity. Vital was not included in the list of players who traveled to the United States for training last weekend and has been listed among the team's 10 players set to leave. Notably, it is said that his transfer fee is less than 400,000 euros. If this is true, considering his performance in the Brazilian league, it would be a great deal. Harbor FC has effectively bought a big treasure at a bargain price. After the 2024 season, Harbor FC quickly identified Vital as a key target for recruitment. Vital is only 26 years old, in his prime. As a versatile midfielder, he can play as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder, and even on the wing, with very comprehensive skills and strong tactical adaptability, capable of injecting new vitality into Harbor's midfield creativity. According to sources, the Harbor coaching staff prefers to have Vital replace Chi Tadini, taking on a role similar to…

Two newly promoted teams in the Chinese Super League have been in contact with multiple domestic and foreign players to establish their foothold. Especially Yunnan Yulong, which had already confirmed promotion earlier than Dalian Yingbo. However, the transfer market is unpredictable, and Yulong's target midfielder, former Changchun Yatai midfielder Zui, was intercepted by the Thai Super League. Additionally, Yulong abandoned Labuad, and Musheqi, who was originally planned to stay, joined Dalian Kunpeng. The only remaining foreign player on Yulong's team is Joni. The introduction of Little Oscar went smoothly. The naturalization process of Little Oscar is still steadily advancing, and Yulong positions him as a domestic player after successful naturalization for the new season, leaving four more foreign player spots. First, Yulong confirmed the signing of Serbian central defender Tsernomakovich from Vojvodina. The contract has been finalized, and the player arrived in Yuxi on January 5 to join the team. With Zui falling through, Yulong initiated Plan B, targeting Portuguese midfielder Nene, who plays in the Polish Super League. Regarding the contract details, Yulong Club is currently negotiating with Nene's side. The remaining two foreign player spots are placed on the forward and winger positions. This is normal; with the midfield and defense stabilized, the club must find partners for Joni and Little Oscar to ensure stronger firepower on the attack line than last year. Eight new domestic players have made their debut and participated in training. According to the plan, Yunnan Yulong will go to Thailand for training on January 7 and plans to play at least three warm-up…

Currently, new coach Quique Setién and his coaching staff have officially arrived and are leading the team through comprehensive training. It is reported that to test the results of the winter training, the club will arrange four friendly matches in the near future, including opponents such as Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, a strong team in the Chinese Super League. In this phase of winter training, one player's performance stands out, he is the local defender He Yupeng. The 26-year-old He Yupeng comes from the Dalian Shide youth training system.

After Aerbin dissolved, He Yupeng entered Dalian Yifang (later renamed Dalian Pro), starting to compete in the China League One, and returned to the Chinese Super League with the team in the 2018 season. He Yupeng's performance at Dalian Pro was commendable. Although he is a full-back, he possesses strong attacking power. In the 2019 season, he scored a decisive goal in the Chinese Super League, helping Dalian Pro win away against Shenzhen FC. In the 2022 season, he scored in the match between Dalian Pro and Guangzhou City, contributing to Dalian Pro's 3-0 victory over their opponents. In the 2023 season, He Yupeng provided an assist in the match between Dalian Pro and Beijing Guoan, helping the team draw 2-2, and these remarkable performances earned him the favor of the national team. In the 2023 season, after Dalian Pro was relegated and announced…
