With the coaching of Setien, there have been reports that Beira is expected to return to Guoan. On one hand, Guoan signing Setien was influenced by Beira, and Setien is also familiar with Beira. It is judged that their cooperation is not impossible. On the other hand, as an old player, Beira has feelings for Guoan. He has left a deep impression on Guoan fans in the past. If it weren't for Beira's injury, Guoan might have won the league championship in the 2019 season. Therefore, many fans hope that Beira can return and continue the previous relationship. The latest news shows: "Beira received an offer from Guoan and is considering returning." However, this information is not true, and Guoan did not actually extend an invitation to Beira. Let's look at the reasons in detail: He is no longer in his prime state. Born in October 1989, Beira has just turned 35 years old. In 2019, he was less than 30 and at the peak of his career. Over the past six years, the player has experienced injuries, physical skills decline, and a drop in competitive form, which is an indisputable fact. Playing fewer than 20 games a year clearly does not meet the standards of a professional player. There is no need for his position. Serginho joined Guoan aiming for the midfield core, which is the attacking midfielder position. Including Zhang Xizhe and others, Guoan is not short of players in this position. At this time, Beira's return may not be as effective as the prime-aged Serginho, so there…

In preparation for the new season of the Chinese Super League, after the New Year's Day holiday, the entire Beijing Guoan team will head to Haikou for winter training. At that time, many players who were loaned out last season will return to the team, among whom three are particularly noteworthy: Quan Qilong, Liang Shaowen, and Jiang Wenhao. The 24-year-old Jiang Wenhao plays as a left-back on the field. He joined the Guoan first team in the 2021 season and once became the team's main left-back in the 2023 season. This summer, Jiang Wenhao was loaned to Changchun Yatai. Although he is not an absolute starter at Yatai, he still managed to showcase his abilities with limited playing time. Compared to Jiang Wenhao, Quan Qilong started higher at Guoan, having been selected for various age groups of the national youth and junior teams. The 23-year-old Quan Qilong is a versatile player in the midfield and defense, capable of playing as a center-back, defensive midfielder, and full-back. At just 18 years old in 2019, Quan Qilong had already joined the Guoan first team and represented the team in the AFC Champions League in 2021, earning six appearances. Last season, Quan Qilong was loaned to Liaoning Tieren in the China League One. With his outstanding performance and stable display, Quan Qilong quickly established himself as the starting right-back for Liaoning Tieren, scoring a goal in the 19th round of the league, with an overall commendable performance. Liang Shaowen, once the captain of the Guoan youth team, also represented the team in the…

Recently, a shocking news has emerged in the Chinese football world: Cangzhou Lions, a team in the Chinese Super League (CSL), has officially announced its disbandment. This news not only saddens and disappoints fans but also plunges the players and coaches into difficulties. It is reported that Cangzhou Lions has been facing severe financial issues for some time. Due to a broken capital chain, the club could no longer afford the salaries of the players and coaches, leading to the team's paralysis. After multiple attempts to find solutions failed, the club ultimately decided to disband. However, this decision has sparked strong dissatisfaction among the players and coaches. They claim that they have worked hard and sweated during their time at the club, yet they have not received their due wages. Among them, foreign player Oscar, domestic players Zheng Kaimu, Wang Peng, Mo Xuchen, Wen Da, and others, as well as coach Li Xiaopeng, all stated that they have repeatedly demanded their wages from the club but have not received a resolution. It is understood that these salary issues have been outstanding for a long time, with some cases exceeding half a year. They express that they have invested much in playing and coaching, but now face homelessness. They hope the club can quickly resolve the salary issue so they can restart their careers. However, the situation for Cangzhou Lions seems grim; since the club has disbanded, it is unlikely they can pay the players and coaches. Moreover, due to the club's salary arrears, they have been reported to FIFA. If…

Just after winning the "double crown," Shanghai Port fans were hit with a double shock - the team's "big and small kings" were announced to be leaving one after another, leaving all lingering hopes shattered. Coincidentally, this happened during the Christmas period, and Shanghai Port fans did not expect that their Christmas gift would be something they least wanted to see. A few days ago, Oscar's move to Brazilian giants Sao Paulo was officially announced, and Shanghai Port quickly followed up with an announcement of the departure of the "Golden Boy." Although many Shanghai Port fans knew that Oscar's departure was inevitable, they were still quite surprised to hear the news at this moment. After all, from Oscar's attachment to Shanghai Port and Shanghai in recent times, it gave many people the illusion that this "captain" who had served for 8 years was reluctant to leave the team and the city. However, upon returning to Brazil, Oscar quickly severed all emotional ties with Shanghai Port and made the decision to join another club, signing a contract within just a few days. So, sentiment cannot sustain a career; economic interests are what truly matter. After Shanghai Port announced Oscar's departure, everyone was waiting for the second shoe to drop. Unexpectedly, it came quickly as well, and a few days later, Shanghai Port also announced the departure of Balagas (as shown in the above image). Contrary to Oscar's announcement, Balagas' new club has not yet been officially announced, and Shanghai Port did not mention where Balagas is going in their departure announcement;…

Goodbye Zhejiang! The CSL Golden Boot has landed, and Shandong Taishan is reshuffling its front line trident to overthrow Shanghai Port and charge for the championship. The winter transfer window for the Chinese Super League (CSL) is about to open, with teams frantically preparing for the new season. The battle for signings is imminent. Zhejiang FC has been active, changing coaches by bringing in Pep Guardiola's assistant coach, Carneiro, and pursuing the second-tier German league's top scorer, Zivzivadze. However, the whereabouts of the team's famous former CSL Golden Boot winner, Leonardo, remains a mystery. In the 2024 season, Leonardo continued to shine with 21 goals, second only to Wu Lei, demonstrating his undeniable abilities. But now, with the CSL salary cap looming and Zhejiang FC facing financial constraints, his future with the team has become uncertain. Will he continue to wander or find a new home? It is reported that Leonardo is highly likely to return to Shandong and rejoin Taishan FC. Despite the retention of head coach Choi Kang-hee for the new season, his power to sign players has been taken back by Jinan Culture and Tourism, and the mediocre forward Pato he brought over may be dropped by the team. Currently, Taishan FC's front line is eagerly awaiting reinforcement, and once Leonardo joins, he will form a Brazilian trident with Crescencio and Zecca. Imagine the firepower unleashed by this front line combination on the CSL field. Let's talk about Zhejiang FC's situation. They have changed coaches and made signings during this winter transfer window with a clear goal:…

This winter break is not only an opportunity for Shandong Taishan to adjust their tactical system and enhance team cohesion, but also a crucial period for in-depth optimization of the squad and laying a solid foundation for future seasons. The team management has reached a consensus that in this transfer window filled with uncertainties, Shandong Taishan needs to reshuffle its current lineup. Up to now, Shandong Taishan has basically confirmed that six tough players will leave the team, such a big change undoubtedly brings new challenges and opportunities to the team. Firstly, midfielder Liao LiSheng is basically determined to leave the team. His departure undoubtedly had a significant impact on Shandong Taishan's midfield setup. As a former Guangzhou Evergrande midfield powerhouse, Liao LiSheng, after joining Taishan, although he did not fully play out his level at Evergrande, his rich match experience and excellent passing ability still contributed many highlights to the team. However, due to the failure to reach an agreement on renewal matters, Liao LiSheng finally chose to join Chengdu Rongcheng, which would undoubtedly weaken the control of Taishan's midfield. The second player to leave is right-back Tong Lei. Tong Lei's departure also made Taishan fans feel sorry. As a national-level full-back cultivated by the Chinese Super League in recent years, Tong Lei is known for his outstanding running ability and precise passing on the field, and is an important part of the team's defensive counterattack. However, with his old club Zhejiang FC throwing him an olive branch and successfully persuading him to return, Tong Lei's departure became an…

The train of 2024 is about to reach its destination, while the flight of 2025 is ready to take off. Players from various Chinese Super League (CSL) teams who are free agents are preparing to disembark, bidding farewell to the train they've ridden for a season as they head to their next destination. Beijing Guoan has become the first team to change coaches during this offseason, with Spanish coach Quique Setién taking over half a month ago. However, he has yet to join the team and will only arrive in Haikou for the second phase of winter training. Former Beijing Guoan foreign aid player Jonathan Viera, once a favorite of Setién, may return to the team during the winter window, and there may have been contact between the two parties. In addition, Beijing Guoan is in contact with Yan Dinghao from Chengdu Rongcheng, Yuan Mincheng from Changchun Yatai, and overseas Chinese player Liao Yangyang. The naturalization process of the soon-to-be-joined Serginho is also progressing steadily. Naturally, with new signings come departures; Setién plans to abandon the dual foreign center-back combination, meaning one of Mamadou or Engadu will leave. Duan Dezheng may go to Yunnan Yulong, Zhang Chengdong is expected to join Qingdao West Coast, and Li Ke has been rumored to be joining Chengdu Rongcheng. Previously rumored to possibly join Shenzhen Xinpengcheng, young overseas player Wu Shaocong is now also associated with Beijing Guoan. Alan joined Qingdao West Coast at the beginning of the season, but Li Ke was called up by the national team and missed several World Cup…

Recently, in order to test the results of their winter training, Beijing Guoan arranged an internal teaching match. They played against Shandong Luneng's youth team, with a notable condition that Guoan would play with one less player to ensure the quality of the friendly match. In other words, Guoan played the entire game with ten men against eleven, yet they still managed to showcase a multi-flourishing offensive trend and ultimately triumphed with a 4-0 victory. The result of Guoan's 4-0 victory over Luneng's youth team did not come as a surprise to fans. After all, Guoan's overall strength is more than just a level above Luneng's youth team. What delighted Guoan fans the most was the breakout performance of Yan Yu, who scored twice in the match, demonstrating his remarkable form. Yan Yu is a standout from Guoan's post-02 youth training program, alongside Liang Shaowen and Ruan Qilong. However, when Yan Yu first joined Guoan's youth ranks, his overall performance was quite average. As a result, he did not get the chance to participate in the AFC Champions League with Guoan's youth team. Fortunately, Yan Yu did not give up on his professional career. Instead, he continued to strive to prove himself in training. Later, when representing Guoan's youth team in the U21 league, he had a significant breakthrough. Yan Yu performed exceptionally well in the matches, earning him the title of top scorer in the event. This led to Yan Yu being promoted to Guoan's first team and gaining the opportunity to play in the Chinese Super League. However,…

Shanghai Port's Five Tigers to Join Nantong Zhiyun in Winter Transfer Window! Leading the Team to Promote Next Season, National Team Twin Stars Take the Lead Shanghai Port's Five Tigers are set to join Nantong Zhiyun in the winter transfer window! They will lead the team to promotion next season, with the national team's twin stars taking the lead. Hey, fellow football fans, I've got some explosive news for you today! Have you heard? The mighty tigers from Shanghai Port are rumored to be making a collective move to Nantong Zhiyun! This isn't just idle speculation; it's a solid transfer rumor, so let's take a closer look at what's going on. Speaking of Nantong Zhiyun, their performance in the Chinese Super League this season has been quite worrying. Honestly, they've been playing rather mediocre, lacking highlights and persuasiveness. As a result, they were relegated to the China League One a round early. When this happened, Nantong Zhiyun fans were desperate, hoping that the club could be promoted back to the Super League. Why? Because both Wuhan Three Towns and Cangzhou Mighty Lions have been plagued by wage arrears scandals that seem unlikely to be resolved in the short term. Fans were thrilled at the prospect that if these two Super League teams couldn't meet the entry requirements, Nantong Zhiyun might have a chance to fill the vacancy. Unfortunately, things didn't go as hoped. Wuhan Three Towns managed to save themselves and will definitely appear in the Super League next season. The situation for Cangzhou Mighty Lions is less optimistic, with…

The 2024 season of the Chinese Super League (CSL) has entered its off-season, and the dynamics of the teams in the transfer market are highly anticipated by fans. On December 17th, numerous transfer news emerged, allowing us to sort through them together. Transfer Ban Lift Situation According to Zhu Yi from Transfermarkt China, domestic clubs are actively addressing disputes related to FIFA's transfer registration ban. Overnight, six fewer transfer registration bans were in place. Among them, Cangzhou Mighty Lions and Wuhan Three Towns made significant progress. Cangzhou Mighty Lions resolved three bans and now only has one remaining; Wuhan Three Towns also lifted three bans, leaving two. However, there have been no changes in the transfer bans for Guangzhou FC, Jiangxi Lushan, and Yanbian Longding. Guangzhou FC and Yanbian Longding each have one ban, while Jiangxi Lushan has three. Wuhan Three Towns has shown a positive attitude towards clearing arrears, having recently paid two months' wages, resolving all outstanding wages for this year. The remaining arrears from last year will also begin to be resolved next month. After players receive their back wages, the issue of signing the wage confirmation form is basically resolved. Upon completion of the signatures, Wuhan Three Towns will submit complete access materials to the Football Association. If the review is passed, they are expected to appear on the second batch of the arrears clearance list. Transfer Dynamics of Each Team 1.
