The football story of Crescendo in Mount Tai is writing a new chapter. Recently, this highly anticipated Brazilian foreign aid ended his vacation in his home country and returned to Mount Tai team to participate in the winter training. This news immediately aroused widespread attention and heated discussion among fans. As the team's golden boot shooter, Crescendo's return not only marks the comprehensive launch of the team's preparations for the new season, but also carries the ardent hope of fans for the championship. Looking back on Crescendo's career in Mount Tai, this Brazilian striker joined the team in the 2022 season. When he first arrived, he experienced an unsatisfactory adaptation period. This expensive foreign aid performed inconsistently in the game, and even made low-level mistakes such as missing penalty kicks, which once made many fans question his strength. However, the wise decision of the Mount Tai team coaching staff changed everything. When the team adjusted Crescendo to a more familiar flank position, this Brazilian shooter seemed to have found his rhythm and began to show amazing scoring ability on the court. After adapting to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League, Crescendo's performance became more and more outstanding. He helped Mount Tai team win the FA Cup championship in the 2022 season, which was the first important trophy he won after coming to China. Although in the subsequent games, the team's championship journey in the Chinese Super League was frustrated several times, Crescendo still won the recognition and trust of the club with stable performance and excellent scoring efficiency.

In January, the domestic football scene once again became a focal point in the sports world, primarily due to the phenomenon of clubs bidding farewell to professional leagues. Among them, the well-known Guangzhou team was unable to escape its fate of disbandment and had to officially announce its withdrawal from professional leagues. Looking back at Guangzhou's history, it can be said that this is a club with a 70-year history, having won numerous championships including the AFC Champions League, Chinese Super League, FA Cup, and Super Cup. Now, reaching the point of disbandment, the huge contrast has also caused sighs from the outside world, and with the official announcement, the exit has become an irreversible fact. Although the club cannot continue, the players' careers must go on. After all, the current Guangzhou team still has many young and promising stars, among which the absolute mainstay Wang Shilong has received much attention. This 23-year-old fast horse on the flank has attracted the pursuit of many Chinese Super League teams. On one hand, Wang Shilong's position is right-back, and there is a scarcity of wing-back players in the domestic football scene. The potential he has shown has also made the Chinese Super League teams feel impressed and eager to make a move early to complete the signing. On the other hand, Wang Shilong is only 23 years old and is in the ascending stage of his career. As early as the 2020 season, he completed his Chinese Super League debut and subsequently became a protégé of Zheng Zhi. Last season, he played…

The two World Cup qualifiers in 2025 are crucial matches against strong opponents Saudi Arabia and Australia, which can be described as life-and-death battles. If the Chinese national football team fails to win these two games, they may have to give up their chance to qualify. However, if everything goes smoothly, there might be a new face in the lineup of the national team in 2025, who is urgently needed and provides targeted reinforcement. On December 5, 2024, photos shared on social media showed that the player had arrived in China. He had previously submitted materials to apply for a change of nationality. Whether he can replace the national team in the game will depend on whether he meets the tactical needs of the national team coaching staff. Many people are wondering if the Chinese team with him would perform better? In 2025, Chen Xuyuan is serving a life sentence, and Li Tie has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. Fans know that the losses caused by these two individuals to Chinese football are immeasurable in monetary terms, and the impact on the morale and confidence of Chinese football is unknown how many people will have to pay for it in time and effort. 2025 marks the 31st year of professionalization in Chinese football, entering its fourth decade. The anti-corruption bell has sounded, and Chinese football, after "scraping the bones to treat the wound," is still betting big on the World Cup. From the current situation, the Football Association believes that the Chinese team is still very capable of…

After the official announcement of the withdrawal from professional leagues by the "8-time champion" Guangzhou Club in the Chinese Super League (CSL), many fans are concerned about whether the dissolution of the Guangzhou team will severely impact the "high-quality asset" Evergrande Football School. On January 7th, Beijing time, well-known journalist Pan Weili stated that although there will be an impact, it is not significant. After all, as early as 2021, the Evergrande Group encountered financial issues, and in recent years, the football school has been operating on its own, achieving self-sufficiency. The school has even encouraged internal entrepreneurship, making full use of its facilities, dormitories, and other supporting resources, generating surpluses. Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no impact at all. The Guangzhou team and Evergrande Football School were originally in a front-end and back-end relationship. With the existence of the Guangzhou team, more parents would be willing to send their children to Evergrande Football School. As we all know, in recent years, the Guangzhou team has been competing in the league with "Evergrande Football School" as its core. The Guangzhou team has indeed been one of the teams using the most young players in recent years. It is precisely because the talent supply chain is very well-established, once they reach the appropriate age, there is an opportunity to play for the first team, which makes parents feel more assured about the success rate of their children's development. However, now that the Guangzhou team has been dissolved, the children from the football school will have to…

Cangzhou Lions and Guangzhou FC failed to pass the entry requirements, and clubs that have passed should cherish their opportunities. Under the leadership of coach Xie Hui's coaching staff, Changchun Yatai is conducting physical training in Haikou, mainly focusing on aerobic running training, ball-running, passing, receiving, and other technical training. The players have met the training requirements set by the coaching staff during self-training, and the first phase of training has progressed smoothly. According to official news from Changchun Yatai Club, Beric and Rosic have arrived in Haikou to participate in joint training. On the evening of January 6th, another foreign aid player, Su Zu, returned to the team after taking leave due to family matters. Changchun Yatai lost several players during this winter transfer window, including Serginho, Zui, Wang Jinian, Liao Chengjian, Zhang Yufeng, Yuan Mincheng, Yan Zhiyu, Cui Qi, etc., which had a significant impact on the team as a whole. While the club is working on new signings, Xie Hui will also tap into the potential within the team. Learning from past experiences, the team starts with physical reserves, focusing on improving physical fitness in the first stage. After the opening of the first transfer window of the new season, Yatai Club will also make every effort to do well in the introduction of domestic and foreign aid. Starting from the second stage, the team will conduct tactical drills and test the results of training through friendly matches. There were rumors previously that Xie Hui wanted to sign Shan Huanhuan, the former Dalian Pro central forward, to…

Last week, the highly anticipated official announcement of the new training squad for the national football team was made, which includes a total of 32 players actively preparing for the two crucial top 18 qualifiers set to kick off in March against strong opponents Saudi Arabia and Australia. According to detailed statistical data, the average age of the new national team training squad is 26.7 years old, clearly reflecting the national team's strategy of optimizing its age structure. Among them, it is noteworthy that a total of 11 post-00s players have been selected, with Hou Yongyong, Maiwulong, Jian Tao, and Wumiti Jiang all donning the national team's jersey for the first time. This move fully reflects head coach Ivan Kozlovic's firm determination to continue promoting the rejuvenation of the national team. For example, in past games, young players were often questioned due to their lack of experience, but Ivan Kozlovic dared to break conventions and boldly启用newcomers, a boldness that has won warm acclaim from many fans. With newcomers entering the national team camp, it inevitably means that there will be old ones exiting. For instance, Wu Lei, Jiang Guangtai, and Liu Dianzuo, with Liu Dianzuo, the goalkeeper, already 34 years old, it is reasonable for him to be abandoned by Ivan Kozlovic from the perspective of competitive form and long-term development. The younger Jian Tao, on the other hand, serves as a reserve force for the national team's goalkeeping talent, adding more possibilities for future matches. Furthermore, an in-depth analysis of the distribution of players across various clubs reveals that…

The eight-time champions of the Chinese Super League (CSL), who twice represented CSL teams at the pinnacle of Asian football, Guangzhou FC, officially announced their disbandment. On January 7th, in the new season's entry list released by the Football Association, Guangzhou FC, which had previously passed the entry requirements, did not appear on the final list. Three hours after the FA released the list, Guangzhou FC officially announced the team's dissolution, marking the end of a club that once represented the peak of Chinese clubs. The disbandment of Guangzhou FC led to Wei Shihao trending on social media, with many fans flooding his social media accounts to berate him. In their eyes, it was Wei Shihao's report that caused Guangzhou FC to lose its entry qualification. Some fans even mocked Wei Shihao for not being able to recover the 2.52 million RMB salary owed to him. However, if fans are aware that it is Guangzhou FC that owes Wei Shihao money, why should they blame Wei Shihao? Is the disbandment of Guangzhou FC due to Wei Shihao? Renowned journalist Song Chengliang provided an answer to this question. Song Chengliang stated that Wei Shihao feels wronged by the criticism, as the team's disbandment cannot be blamed on him. Why? Wei Shihao's report merely reminded the FA that Guangzhou FC still had unresolved debts. The real reason Guangzhou FC was not allowed entry was that the FA management did not believe the team had the ability to repay its debts in the future. Why does the FA management think Guangzhou FC lacks…

After the end of last season, Shandong Taishan has been relatively inactive in terms of recruitment. However, recent news from the club indicates that they will be acquiring former Evergrande wingback, Zhong Yihao, from Henan Team. According to reports, after extensive negotiations, Henan Team agreed to loan Zhong Yihao to Shandong Taishan. The addition of this former Evergrande near-international can help Taishan address their defensive shortcomings on the left flank. The 29-year-old Zhong Yihao is currently in the prime of his career. However, his situation at Henan Team last season was not ideal, with only seven starting appearances and limited goals and assists. In such circumstances, Zhong Yihao hopes to gain more playing time and development opportunities, and Shandong Taishan has seized this opportunity to extend an invitation to him. Bringing in Zhong Yihao is a wise move for Taishan. Over the past two seasons, the team's left-back position has had significant weaknesses, especially as Liu Yang's form continues to decline, making this issue even more pronounced. Zhong Yihao can not only play as a left midfielder and left winger but also as a left-back, making him the versatile player that Shandong Taishan needs. As part of the exchange conditions, Henan Team hopes to acquire one or two young players from Shandong Taishan. This request has received a positive response from Taishan. Indeed, Shandong Taishan does have a group of young players with great potential, among whom Jia Feifan and Liu Guobao are considered the most likely candidates to become part of the trade. Jia Feifan was the main defensive…

Everyone knows that winter training is not only about laying the foundation for the new season but also an important time for teams to enhance their squad depth and competitiveness. This time, the Tianjin Tigers' winter training has welcomed a familiar and eagerly anticipated figure - 25-year-old Hebei midfielder Mo Xu Chen, who is joining the team for a trial. This not only means the strengthening of the team's lineup but also brings more choices and flexibility to the team. Speaking of Mo Xu Chen, he is really a player not to be underestimated. The young man was born in Baoding, Hebei, is 1.73 meters tall, plays as a winger, and whether it's his performance on the field or his efforts off the field, he can leave a deep impression on people. Everyone knows that Mo Xu Chen attracted the attention of fans early on with his performance in the Hebei China Fortune youth training. At that time, he showed great potential, after all, being selected by the U23 national team shows that his strength cannot be underestimated. To go abroad and play for the Serbian First League team Pirot Workers is even more proof of his abilities. You know, a player who can make a name for himself abroad is definitely not an ordinary person. Later experiences did not diminish his luster; after returning to China, he was successively loaned out to Beijing BSU and Inner Mongolia Zhongyou and other China League…

Considering the big environment of the club, it is difficult for the club to make big investments in the new season, so personnel adjustments are inevitable.‌ In fact, judging from the overall performance of Shandong Taishan team last season, at least two aspects need to be adjusted. First, coach Cui Kangxi's tactical innovation is imperative. Second, the adjustment of foreign aid introduction is imperative. Currently, Crescendo, Kaza and Zeke have contracts, and the midfield and defensive lines need to be strengthened.‌ On January 6th, according to the report of Shangguan News, Shanghai Port will introduce former Chinese Super League Golden Boot winner Leonardo. Leonardo showed great interest in joining the Port. Both sides are interested in each other, so this transaction should be highly likely. Shanghai Port has successively announced the departure of Oscar and Bargas. On the latest Chinese Super League value list, Crescendo ranks first with 4.5 million euros, Leonardo…
