In March of next year, the Chinese men's football team will face a crucial match against Saudi Arabia. The Saudi team, once a dominant force in Asia, seems to be on a downward trajectory in recent years. With a record of only one win, three draws, and two losses in the first six rounds of the World Cup qualifiers, their performance has been somewhat lackluster compared to their past glory. This decline was particularly evident in the recent Gulf Cup, where they suffered a surprising defeat at the hands of the relatively weaker Bahrain team, which undoubtedly dealt a significant blow to their morale. However, this presents a rare opportunity for the Chinese men's football team. Facing such a struggling Saudi team, China's chances of victory are significantly increased. To prepare for this important match, the Chinese team has made ample preparations. Wu Lei, the forward who has excelled with his Spanish club, will join forces with two naturalized players—Serginho and Little Oscar—to compete for the national team. Their addition is expected to greatly enhance the overall strength of the Chinese team. Wu Lei is known for his remarkable speed and shooting ability, often creating excellent scoring opportunities for his teammates with his breakthroughs and passes in the frontcourt. Serginho and Little Oscar, on the other hand, have distinguished themselves with their exceptional technical skills and physical prowess in their respective leagues. Their presence will undoubtedly add more attacking options and defensive fortitude to the Chinese team. When facing Saudi Arabia, the primary task for the Chinese team is to…

Recently, the German Transfer Market released the latest list of Chinese player valuations. Among the top ten, all are national team players, belonging to five major Super League clubs. Among them, two players from Shanghai Greenland Shenhua have entered the top three. Ranking first is Wu Lei from Shanghai Port with a valuation of 1.2 million euros. In the recently concluded season, Wu Lei scored 34 goals to win the Golden Boot, setting a new record for the most goals in a single season in the Chinese Super League. It's a pity that the Chinese men's football team still relies on Wu Lei to save face! Recently, Italian foreign aid Compagno from Tianjin Jinmen Tiger was interviewed by foreign media. When asked which CSL player could enter the Serie A league, Compagno named only Wu Lei as suitable. Even at the age of 33, Wu Lei is still highly regarded! Ranking second and third are Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong from Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, both with a valuation of 900,000 euros. Zhu Chenjie plays as a defender and is a mainstay for both the national team and the club. Jiang Shenglong is a versatile player who can play as a defender, midfielder, and even a center forward. Both will become important pillars for the national team in the coming period! Ranking fourth is Zhang Yuning from Beijing Guoan Club with a valuation of 850,000 euros. In the 18-strong match against the Indonesian men's football team and the Bahraini men's football team, Zhang Yuning scored consecutive goals. Especially in the away…

Within three days, Shanghai Port announced the departure of two key players, Oscar and Balagas, who had led the team to consecutive championships for two seasons and whose contracts had expired simultaneously. This Christmas was undoubtedly bitter for Port fans, but everything needs to move forward. With less than two months until the start of the next Chinese Super League season, finding suitable replacements after the departure of the "big and small kings" has become an urgent task for Shanghai Port. After the departure of Oscar and Balagas, the most affected person besides head coach Muscat is Wu Lei, who became the most frustrated person. In the 2024 season, Wu Lei, the local top scorer with a record-breaking 34 goals in the Chinese Super League, scored 9 goals from Oscar's assists and 6 goals from Balagas' assists. It can be seen that Wu Lei, this type of forward who relies on positioning, still has a high dependence on them. If he loses enough support from the midfield, Wu Lei, whose individual combat ability is limited, is very likely to become the next Malele. Among the six foreign players in the 2024 season of Shanghai Port, only Gustavo and Rusa, who are still under contract, can stay with the team. Oscar, Balagas, Citadini, and Pop, who specializes in the AFC Champions League, have all left one after another. The significant change in offensive foreign aid has a greater impact on Muscat's tactical system. Under the continued salary cap in the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Port, which is not short of money,…

In the off-season of the 2024 Chinese Super League season, the transfer dynamics of Shandong Taishan Club have captured the hearts of many fans. Recently, news about Brazilian forward Leonardo's imminent return to Jinan has brought a touch of warmth to the team's somewhat quiet recruitment efforts. However, the road back for this former hero seems not to be smooth sailing! The current situation of Shandong Taishan is a mixture of joy and worry. On one hand, the team's actions in the transfer market are slow, and it even faces the problem of player loss. He Xiaoke has already joined Qingdao West Coast and started training with his new club. On the other hand, the contract renewal negotiations with key foreign aid Jadson have also reached an impasse. Head coach Choi Kang-hee hopes to stabilize the team's morale with a long-term contract of three years, but the club prefers to sign short-term contracts of one to two years to maintain the flexibility of squad adjustments. However, amidst this seemingly depressed atmosphere, Leonardo's return is undoubtedly a shot in the arm. The 27-year-old Brazilian striker's connection with Shandong Taishan dates back to 2021. Although he only made 8 appearances and scored 1 goal during his first stint, his subsequent career trajectory has proven his abilities. In 2022, he was loaned to South Korea and won the league championship. In 2023, while playing for Changchun Yatai, he won the Chinese Super League Golden Boot. His outstanding performance in Zhejiang in 2024 even skyrocketed his value to 3.5 million euros, ranking fourth among…

After a 9-year career in Chinese football, Mukeshui has returned to his place of fame, Dalian. However, this time he is not joining Dalian Yingbo, who have just been promoted to the Super League, but instead remains in the second-tier league, signing with newly-promoted Dalian Kuncheng. Despite Mukeshui's age of 37, Dalian Kuncheng seems unconcerned and has offered him a long-term contract, clearly valuing his promotion-winning attributes. At 37 years old, Mukeshui can still be heavily relied upon in China's secondary league, and he should be grateful for two decisions he made: first, giving up basketball at 19 to focus on football, and second, accepting Dalian Yifang's invitation in 2015. Standing nearly 1.9 meters tall and very strong, Mukeshui initially wanted to become a professional basketball player due to his natural physical advantages. He was able to join Zimbabwe's national youth teams and play as a starting point guard in the African Youth Basketball Championship, demonstrating not only his athletic talent but also his ability to endure hardship. In 2007, during the African Men's Basketball Championship, his playing time ranked second in the team, and he was the assist leader. However, fate opened another door for him - due to the lack of indoor basketball courts in Zimbabwe, he had to train with an amateur football club to maintain his form. This unintentional move won him a contract with the club. For Mukeshui, who lived in the slums, it was natural to give up basketball since football could bring in income. Incredibly, in the third year after switching sports, he…

With the winter transfer window approaching, Chinese Super League (CSL) teams are actively scouting for new signings. Consequently, a flurry of transfer news has emerged, with Chengdu Rongcheng's transfer activities being particularly noteworthy. The reason behind Chengdu Rongcheng's heightened activity in this transfer window is largely due to internal personnel adjustments. Despite achieving an impressive third-place finish in the CSL last season, the team also exposed some existing issues, particularly in defense. With contracts of central defenders Yang Yiming and Yang Fan, as well as goalkeepers Geng Xiaofeng and Zhang Yan, nearing expiration, the team faces an urgent task of rebuilding its defensive line. Geng Xiaofeng has already confirmed his move to Yunnan Yulong, while Yang Yiming may head south to Shenzhen New Pengcheng, presenting a significant challenge to Chengdu Rongcheng's defense. In response to this situation, Chengdu Rongcheng has acted swiftly and decisively, locking in several national-level players who will soon become free agents in an attempt to fill the gaps in their defense. Among them, Han Pengfei, Liu Dianzuo, and Liao Lisheng have become the team's primary targets for recruitment. Han Pengfei, an experienced national-level central defender, will undoubtedly enhance Chengdu Rongcheng's aerial defense and defensive toughness with his addition. Liu Dianzuo is a capable national-level goalkeeper whose arrival will alleviate pressure on the team's goalkeeping position. As for Liao Lisheng, he is an all-round defensive midfielder whose inclusion will further strengthen Chengdu Rongcheng's midfield control and defensive capabilities. During the pursuit of these three national-level players, Chengdu Rongcheng demonstrated great sincerity and determination. They engaged in in-depth…

Among them, two players from Shanghai Shenhua have entered the top three. Ranking first is Wu Lei from Shanghai Port with a market value of 1.2 million euros. In the recently concluded season, Wu Lei scored 34 goals and won the Golden Boot. The 34 goals also set a record for the most goals in a single season in the Super League. Unfortunately, the Chinese men's football team still relies on Wu Lei to save face! Recently, in an interview with foreign media, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger's Italian foreign aid, Compagno, was asked which player in the Super League could enter the Serie A league. Compagno named only Wu Lei as suitable. Despite being 33 years old, Wu Lei is still highly regarded! Ranking second and third are Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong from Shanghai Shenhua. Their market values are the same, both at 900,000 euros. Zhu Chenjie plays as a defender and is a mainstay for both the national team and the club.

Li Xiaopeng's tenure with Cangzhou Mighty Lions is coming to an end, and this contract termination is not related to Li Xiaopeng's own abilities but rather due to financial difficulties faced by Cangzhou Mighty Lions. It is reported that despite being on the debt-clearing list for entry, the team has found players to file complaints, making Li Xiaopeng's departure almost inevitable. After leaving Cangzhou Mighty Lions, where will Li Xiaopeng go next? Many fans hope that Li Xiaopeng can return to Shandong Luneng, where he once delivered impressive results. Additionally, there is currently a dispute between Shandong Luneng and Cuikexing, and if Shandong Luneng were to forcibly terminate Cuikexing's contract, they would need to pay a substantial amount in compensation. After paying Cuikexing, they might not have enough funds to cover the salary of a new coach. At this point, choosing a domestic coach seems like a good option, and if selecting a domestic coach, Li Xiaopeng is undoubtedly a great choice. He is familiar with the situation in Shandong football, has sufficient coaching experience, and most importantly, his salary is not high. Can Li Xiaopeng return to Shandong Luneng? Perhaps many Shandong Luneng fans scoff at Li Xiaopeng, but he is actually quite sought after during the off-season. For example, Taishan Team News announced Li Xiaopeng's destination. While fans are still focused on whether Li Xiaopeng will return to Shandong Luneng, another team from Shandong has already made a move, which is Shandong Qingdao West Coast Men's Football Team. According to the report from Taishan Team News, Li Xiaopeng…

During the off-season, Shandong Taishan has undoubtedly become a focus of attention among fans, especially with the outbreak of conflicts between head coach Choi Kang-hee and the club, which has undoubtedly left some hidden dangers for the team. However, according to the latest information, Choi Kang-hee will not be sacked; he will continue to coach Taishan. After confirming the head coach, the next step for Taishan is to focus on strengthening the squad. Last season, Taishan's poor performance was mainly due to significant disadvantages in foreign aid. Therefore, during this off-season, Taishan needs to strengthen its high-level foreign aid. Since Choi Kang-hee took office, under his leadership, the level of foreign aid introduced by Taishan has been very limited. Moreover, Choi Kang-hee prefers to recruit from the K League, further restricting Taishan's foreign aid targets. As a result, Taishan stripped Choi Kang-hee of his decision-making power over foreign aid during this off-season. After Choi Kang-hee lost his power to sign players, Taishan's thinking in choosing foreign aid suddenly broadened. Recently, Turkish media reported that the Chinese team Shandong Taishan is trying to sign Aboubakar. The 32-year-old Aboubakar plays for Hatayspor in the Turkish Super League. This season, Aboubakar has made 15 appearances for the team, scoring 4 goals and providing 1 assist, and his contract with the team will expire on June 30, 2025. Aboubakar was also a member of the Cameroon national team. Born in 1992, he stands at 1.84 meters tall and weighs 82 kilograms. He plays as a forward. It is worth noting that in 2015, he…
