This news is like a reassurance pill, filling fans with anticipation for the new season. This friendly match is not simple; it hides many subtle intentions for the new season of Taishan Team. Among them, the most attention-grabbing is the participation of Brazil DB Team. This youth training team established by Taishan Team in Brazil will cross the ocean to China, train together with Taishan B Team, and engage in warm-up matches. This not only demonstrates Taishan Team's emphasis on youth training but also reflects their global layout. The arrival of the Brazil DB Team has brought a breath of fresh air to Taishan Team. These young players have undergone rigorous training in Brazil and are not to be underestimated in terms of strength. Competing against Taishan B Team can not only enhance their competitive level but also help them better adapt to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League. It is also a rare opportunity for training, allowing them to test themselves in actual combat and lay a solid foundation for their future careers. Another important purpose of the friendly match is to strengthen the lineup of Taishan's first team. The team management hopes that through this friendly match, outstanding talents can be selected from the Brazil DB Team, giving them the opportunity to join the first team and inject fresh blood into the…

On the 13th, the Chinese Super League transfer market became a hot topic of discussion. Leonardo, the "unexpected foreign aid," finally officially transferred to join Shanghai Port after experiencing many twists and turns. The transfer fee is about 10 million RMB (approximately 1.3 million euros), which is considered a suitable price for Taishan team. For Leonardo, this may be a new starting point. Speaking of Leonardo's experience at Shandong Taishan, it can be described as tortuous and bizarre. In 2021, Leonardo transferred from Urawa Reds to Taishan team, with a transfer fee of 2.1 million euros at that time, and a contract period of up to 5 years. However, unexpectedly, after joining Taishan team, his performance and position were not ideal. In two years, he only played 8 games for Taishan team, scoring a total of 1 goal. Even so, Taishan team still rented him out many times, giving him opportunities to find his form again in other clubs. After seeing this transfer news, some netizens commented: "Isn't this just 'divorce and reorganization'? He did pretty well last year at Zhejiang team, but Taishan team didn't give him many chances, instead they sold him, it's really confusing." Leonardo performed well during his rental period, especially in the 2023 season, when he scored 19 goals in the Chinese Super League and won the Golden Boot award. This performance greatly improved his evaluation in the outside world. In the 2024 season, he transferred to Zhejiang team again and continued to maintain a strong performance, contributing 21 goals and eventually winning the Silver…

With the deepening of the World Cup qualifiers, the top 18 stage has become a crucial battle for national teams to compete for World Cup entry tickets. For the Chinese men's football team, this stage is particularly critical as they face four strong opponents from different continents: Saudi Arabia, Australia, Indonesia, and Bahrain. Every match is like a decisive battle, testing not only the players' technical and tactical levels but also their willpower and team spirit. The goal of the Chinese men's football team in this World Cup qualifier is very clear: to break into the top four and strive to qualify for the playoff. To achieve this goal, the team has made meticulous preparations and adjustments in terms of lineup and tactics. Among them, the performance of the two front-line generals, Wei Shihao and Zhang Yuning, will be crucial. They not only possess excellent individual skills but can also contribute key goals at critical moments. Wei Shihao is known for his sharp breakthroughs and precise shooting, while Zhang Yuning has won the trust of coaches and fans with his comprehensive offensive ability and outstanding physical confrontation skills. Their collaboration will be an important weapon for the Chinese men's football team to impact the top four. Under the leadership of head coach Ivan, the Chinese men's football team has shown a new look in this World Cup qualifier. Ivan not only focuses on the team's overall cooperation and tactical execution but also dares to use young players to inject fresh blood into the team. These young players have shown outstanding…

Dalian Yiben has added another strong local player, who is considered better than Liao Li Sheng, and with good performance, there's a chance to enter the national team! After Dalian Yiben outperformed Guangzhou FC to be promoted to the Chinese Super League (CSL), they began to actively recruit new players, not only focusing on foreign players but also striving for excellence in domestic signings. In terms of foreign players, Kalanga was already quite impressive, and during the winter transfer window, they successfully signed former Shanghai Shenhua player Malele and former Beijing Guoan player Mamadou. These two additions have significantly enhanced the team's overall strength. Having good foreign players is essential, but so are strong domestic players. As the saying goes, "He who controls the midfield controls the world," and a team that wants to achieve something in the league must first strengthen its midfield dominance. The midfield is the hub of a team's attack and defense, capable of both offense and defense. Dalian Yiben only had one foreign midfielder, Labu Yade, and veteran Wang Xuanhong retired. Therefore, Dalian Yiben has been looking for a good domestic midfielder. They certainly have requirements for this midfielder: they need to be strong in ability and have an advantage in age. The dissolved Guangzhou FC's midfielder, Liao Jintao, has come into Dalian Yiben's view. Liao Jintao is only 24 years old and comes from Evergrande Football School, where he stands out among his peers. Liao Jintao has played in professional leagues representing Guangzhou FC, Wuhan Three Towns, and Kunshan FC, helping Kunshan FC win…

In the 2024 season, Shanghai Shenhua fans had high hopes for their team to compete for titles in both the Chinese Super League (CSL) and the Chinese FA Cup. However, crucial match errors led to the team narrowly missing out on the double crown. This outcome left head coach Sluisky disappointed, but he quickly shifted his focus to the CSL transfer market to infuse fresh talent into the team while also beginning to focus on nurturing young players. Amid this wave of rejuvenation, 19-year-old Wang Hanlong emerged as a new star for Shenhua. He consistently displayed his talent in training and matches, earning attention from fans and the coaching staff with his stable goal-scoring efficiency. Wang Hanlong comes from the Slovenian youth training system and has won the Golden Boot award in the youth league. At 18, he firmly chose to join China, a decision that made him a key target for Shenhua's development. Wang Hanlong quickly adapted to Shenhua's system and shone brightly in the new season, earning the nickname "Dark Horse Forward" from fans. Alongside Wang Hanlong is Liu Chengyu, a standout from Shenhua's 06 youth training program and a mainstay for the national youth team. Liu Chengyu once helped China secure a 2-0 victory over South Korea with a brace in a friendly match. His steady performance has made Shenhua increasingly value their youth resources, leading them to designate him as a key player and pair him with Wang Hanlong multiple times in the new season. Shenhua's strategy for developing young talent is gradually bearing fruit, which…

Translation: In this work, the author will use a comprehensive scoring method to analyze which of the four major teams in the CSL season 25 - Shanghai Port, Shanghai Shenhua, Beijing Guoan, and Chengdu Rongcheng - is closer to the championship. Shanghai Port Coach Muscat was the best coach in the CSL season 24, leading the team to break records such as the longest winning streak, most goals scored, and most goal difference in his first season, showing a high level of coaching. Score 9 points. The local main lineup of the Port is based on the "Six Tigers of Chongming," with enough match experience, but age is a hidden danger. As the schedule progresses, the drawbacks of the local lineup may gradually emerge. Score 7 points. Don't forget that Wu Lei will be absent for 2 months due to injury. In terms of foreign aid, no matter how the Port recruits, it is difficult to find a substitute for Oscar and Bargas. Score 7 points. Comprehensive assessment, the Port's championship-winning strength in the new season is 7.6 points. Shanghai Shenhua Coach Slutsky seems to have led the team to ideal results and excellent coaching skills, but in reality, there are some shortcomings. In the CSL season 24, good luck masked some of his coaching issues. Score 7 points. The local lineup of Shenhua is luxurious, with national-level players filling the front, midfield, and backline, and even the substitutes could form a starting lineup better than some lower-tier CSL teams. Score 10 points. In terms of foreign aid, Shenhua has…

The U20 national football team played a friendly match against Thailand U20, ending in a 1-1 draw. The first half saw both teams scoreless, with a somewhat dull atmosphere. In the 31st minute of the second half, Thailand broke the deadlock with a stunning shot that skimmed the crossbar and flew into the net, putting U20 China behind 0-1. At a critical moment, Chen Shihan stepped up, scoring from long range at the top of the penalty arc to level the score. Neither side was able to change the scoreline thereafter, and the 1-1 result held until the final whistle. For this match, the starting lineup for U20 China included goalkeeper Liu Qiwei, defenders He Yiran, Peng Xiao, Shi Songchen, Yang Xi, midfielders Zhang Zhixiong, Chen Zeshi, Wang Yudong, Kuai Jiwen, Mao Weijie, and forward Liu Chengyu. It is worth noting that in a previous friendly match, U20 China lost 1-4 to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, indicating less-than-ideal form. The performance of U20 China in this game can be described as a mixed bag. On the positive side, the team did not collapse when trailing, and Chen Shihan's long-range shot showcased the individual abilities of the players. However, throughout the match, U20 China's offensive organization appeared disorganized, with insufficient midfield control, and the absence of Yimulan clearly hindered the team's flow. From the perspective of the players themselves, Chen Shihan's goal was the highlight of the game, with his long-range shot from the top of the penalty arc helping the team equalize. As one of the core midfielders for U20 China,…

Shanghai Shenhua Football Club is currently at a crucial juncture of succession and rejuvenation, with promising development momentum evident from both its youth training echelons to the first team. Recently, the Shenhua U12 team achieved remarkable results at an international invitational tournament held in Auckland, New Zealand. This young squad maintained a perfect winning record in eight matches, ultimately securing the championship without any doubt. Behind this outstanding team achievement, the individual performance of young forward Anmar stood out particularly, as he scored an astonishing 19 goals in eight games, becoming the key contributor to the team's title with his impressive goal-scoring efficiency. Such achievements in youth training have brought comfort to everyone at Shenhua Club, as they not only represent victory in a single event but also demonstrate the positive development trend of Shenhua's youth training system. The success of youth training is the foundation for the sustainable development of a football club, and Shenhua's investment and harvest in this area have injected strong impetus into the club's future development. In terms of the first team, since the acquisition by Jushi Group, Shenhua has shown a strong determination to win championships. The arrival of the new owner has brought new vitality and resources to the team, which was already evident in the 2023 season. That season, Shenhua displayed excellent competitive strength on the FA Cup stage, eventually defeating Shandong Taishan in the final to win an important championship trophy. This hard-won championship not only boosted the morale of the entire team but also gave fans hope of seeing the…

With the opening of the winter transfer window, teams in the Chinese Super League (CSL) are strengthening their squads for the new season. Beijing Guoan, with its lofty ambitions, is no exception. Recently, domestic media brought exciting news to Beijing Guoan fans. It is reported that the previously rumored foreign midfielder, Dawan, has successfully arrived in Haikou and appeared at the Mission Hills Hotel where Guoan is staying. This news undoubtedly thrilled the fans, as it means that this powerful midfielder joining Beijing Guoan is only a matter of time. Since Li Ke's departure, Guoan's midfield has been somewhat stretched. Veteran Chi Zhongguo, though experienced, is getting older and cannot hold up this key position alone. Therefore, reinforcing the midfield and finding a strong midfielder to replace Li Ke and complement Chi Zhongguo became an urgent issue for Guoan during this winter window. The arrival of Dawa provides the best solution to this problem. Dawa previously played for Gamba Osaka in Japan's J-League. Over the past three seasons, he has made 114 appearances, scoring 14 goals, showing stable and efficient performance. In the recently concluded 2024 season, Dawa reached the peak of his career. He averaged 2.2 clearances, 0.8 interceptions, 1.3 tackles, and 3.9 recoveries per game, which are undoubtedly top-level defensive statistics in the CSL. More importantly, while maintaining high-efficiency defense, Dawa also demonstrated excellent offensive capabilities, with an average rating of 7.04, ranking ninth among all J-League midfielders, making him the core of Gamba Osaka's midfield. It is worth noting that in the past three seasons, Dawa has…

Recently, Beijing Guoan started to make bold changes in their formation during a friendly match and even had the veteran Wang Gang play as a center-back. This move did not surprise many Guoan fans, as they are familiar with the club's tendency to convert forwards into center-backs. Previously, Xu Yunlong made a successful transition from forward to center-back, and later Yu Dabao and Zhang Chengdong also switched to playing as center-backs towards the end of their careers. Therefore, Guoan fans were not particularly surprised when new coach Setien transformed Wang Gang into a center-back. However, Wang Gang's performance as a center-back has been average, with frequent positional errors appearing in recent friendly matches. In the friendly match against Dalian Yingbo, Wang Gang's defense was repeatedly breached by the opponent's new forward Malele. After 90 minutes of intense battle, Guoan narrowly lost 2-3 to their opponents. The only highlight of this friendly match was the impressive performance of new signing Dawan. Although Dawan has not yet been officially announced as joining Guoan, he has already taken the field wearing the team's jersey. Dawan immediately made an impressive debut by providing a precise assist, finding center-forward Fabio. Fabio did not disappoint Dawan's good intentions and turned the pass into a goal. Dawan scored in his first appearance for Guoan in the friendly match, which made many Guoan fans believe that bringing him to the team was the right decision. Dawan previously had a remarkable record of continuous goals in the Japanese league, becoming the core player of Gamba Osaka. Later, his outstanding…
