The goal for Tianjin Tigers this season in the Chinese Super League is to secure their position and avoid relegation. The task of avoiding relegation remains severe in the new season. Therefore, it will not be an easy feat for Tianjin Tigers to accomplish this goal. Coach Yu Genwei has brought in several new players to strengthen the team, with Zhang Wei and Ruan Yang showing promising performances after joining the team. Their impressive displays in the warm-up matches have proven Yu Genwei's keen eye for talent. Ruan Yang, in particular, provided two assists in a match against Qingdao West Coast, both being precise crosses that found their teammates in the right positions. This has made him the biggest discovery among the new signings for Tianjin Tigers. It seems only a matter of time before Ruan Yang's transfer is finalized, which is something fans are looking forward to. Zhang Wei, on the other hand, has emerged as a dark horse at the center-forward position, giving him the potential to play a pivotal role in Yu Genwei's tactical setup. However, relying solely on Ruan Yang and Zhang Wei will not be enough for Tianjin Tigers to complete their relegation-avoidance mission in the Chinese Super League. To address this, the team could consider bringing in three more new players from Shandong Taishan, focusing on the central defender, right-back, and attacking midfielder positions. Introducing Peng Xiao to reinforce the central defender position would be a good choice. Peng Xiao is a very capable central defender and an absolute mainstay in the national youth…

As the calendar turns to March, the eyes of football fans around the world are gradually focusing on the World Cup qualifiers across various continents. Among them, the New Year's battle between the Chinese team and Saudi Arabia has undoubtedly become a major highlight in the Asian region. The match scheduled for March 20 is not only crucial for both teams' World Cup dreams but also carries the expectations and hopes of countless Chinese fans. However, a series of uncertainties before the game have made the outcome unpredictable. Wu Lei, the top scorer for the Chinese men's football team, has always been under close attention. However, according to the latest news, Wu Lei may be unable to play due to injury. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow for the Chinese team in desperate need of goals. Wu Lei's absence means that the team's options in the front line will be even more limited. How to make up for this loss will be a major challenge for the head coach. In addition to Wu Lei's injury, the progress of naturalized players has also cast a shadow over the Chinese team's prospects. The naturalization procedures for Xiao Oscar and Serginho have yet to make substantial progress, which means they are unlikely to catch up with the key battle against Saudi Arabia. If these two players were on the field, they would undoubtedly add more creativity and attacking power to the Chinese team's midfield and frontcourt, but reality is disappointing. Facing the strong Saudi team, the Chinese team needs to muster all their…

With the official opening of the transfer window for the Chinese Super League (CSL) and China League One, teams are gearing up and actively seeking new signings to adjust their squads. The departure of Oscar from Shanghai Port marks the end of the era of big-money football in China, as he was the last remaining foreign player from that period. The estimated value of foreign players in the new season's CSL is around one million euros, a far cry from the glamour of previous years. However, with Song Kai taking over as the new chairman of the Football Association, measures have been implemented to relax restrictions on foreign players and prioritize youth training, reigniting interest among fans. The two newly promoted teams, Dalian Yingbo and Yunnan Yukuang, have been particularly active in the transfer market. As the champions of League One, Yunnan Yukuang has undergone a major reshuffle, with all 21 players from last season leaving upon the expiration of their contracts. Confirmed new signings include naturalized player Hou Yongyong and foreign player Oscar, who is currently being naturalized by the national team. Other additions include former Meizhou Hakka player Ye Chugui and former Henan Jianye player Li Songyi. The team's budget for the new season is expected to be in the hundreds of millions, with three sponsors announced, including Yunnan Huofa Group, Yunnan Yuxi Xianfu Steel, and Yunnan Yuxi Yukuang Steel Group, each contributing 2 million yuan. Yunnan is set to field a strong squad this season, with previous standout promoted teams like Wuhan Three Towns, Meizhou finishing eighth,…

During the preseason of the new season, there is a flurry of personnel adjustment information among various clubs, with the rumors related to Shandong Taishan being the most numerous. Unexpectedly, two weeks after the opening of the winter transfer window, other teams, big or small, have had both departures and arrivals. Some teams have already started playing friendly matches after assembling their squads quickly. However, only Taishan has seen more than a dozen players leave without any confirmed arrivals. There was only one domestic player, Tang Chuang, who was confirmed to have joined the team but left due to failing the trial. The two Brazilian foreign players who were once hotly discussed suddenly disappeared without a trace, turning the claim of "the second CSL team to complete its five foreign player lineup" into a joke. Even the entry of famous veteran Su Maozhen into the club's management seems to have come to nothing... What is going on here? It appears that despite being widely recognized as lacking passion, Taishan Club is not short of composure. Some might say, why rush? The winter transfer window closes on February 18th, and Taishan may be carefully selecting their targets, ensuring that they don't waste time sharpening their axe. The problem lies in the fact that Taishan has two AFC Champions League matches on February 11th and 18th, and registration needs to be completed before the holiday. Even if domestic and foreign players arrive immediately and the squad is fully assembled today, there will only be 20 days left for targeted training! Currently, none…

Hubei U16 defeated a Thai football club 2-1 in the second match of the domestic invitational tournament, achieving two consecutive victories. Judging from the momentum shown by Hubei U16 in the first two matches, there should be no major issues for the team to advance or even win the championship. Notably, the goals for Hubei U16 were scored by two main national youth players born in 2009, forward Wan Xiang and the talented Liang Shiyu. Wan Xiang and Liang Shiyu are both very capable young national players who have become the main strikers for the national youth team. It's worth mentioning that Wan Xiang also scored an impressive goal in the match between China's national youth team and South Korea, helping the team achieve a long-awaited victory. Therefore, Chinese fans have high hopes for Wan Xiang and Liang Shiyu, wishing them to take on the responsibility and lead the team to qualify from the Asian preliminaries. The 2008 national youth team, with the efforts of Abibula, has set a good example for the 2009 national youth team. The 2008 national youth team performed well in the group stage of the Asian preliminaries, and in the final group match against the strongest opponent, South Korea, they held their own. This national youth team impressed the fans with their fighting spirit, excellent individual skills, and techniques in the game. Ultimately, China's national youth team drew 2-2 with South Korea, advancing together from the group stage. The successful qualification of the 2008 national youth team has greatly inspired the 2009 national youth team.…

In the vast expanse of Chinese football, a new star has quietly risen in recent U20 national team matches. He is 18-year-old Zhang Zhiqiang, a rising star from the Guangzhou team's youth training system. In a crucial match, Zhang Zhiqiang scored an impressive goal, bringing valuable points to the national youth team. When the national youth team faced the formidable challenge of Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors' first team, the score was once behind, and the atmosphere on the field was tense and oppressive. However, just as everyone thought victory was hopeless, Zhang Zhiqiang stepped up. Relying on his keen sense and excellent skills, he managed to pull one back for the national youth team at a critical moment. This goal was not only the best proof of his personal abilities but also a strong endorsement of Guangzhou team's youth training system. Guangzhou team, a name that once wrote a glorious chapter in the history of Chinese football, still cannot ignore its investment and achievements in youth training despite facing some difficulties now. Zhang Zhiqiang's growth trajectory is a microcosm of the success of Guangzhou team's youth training system. From receiving professional training at a young age, gradually emerging, to shining brightly in the national youth team now, every step of Zhang Zhiqiang is condensed with the wisdom and sweat of Guangzhou team's youth training coaching team. Zhang Zhiqiang's journey has not been smooth sailing. During the key stage of Guangzhou team's promotion push last season, he faced the choice of being called up to the national youth team. Considering the needs…

At 8 PM in the evening, Shandong Taishan officially announced the latest news, Brazilian Sports ended the warm-up, and the next homes of 3 people were exposed. On January 20th, Beijing time, let us continue to pay attention to the domestic football circle and domestic sports. The Shandong Taishan team has been training in Shanghai for about 10 days, and this training will last for 1 month. The AFC Champions League will start on February 11, so it is imminent for the Taishan team. In the new season, Shandong Taishan team faces a great challenge of personnel changes. Among them, the successive departure of foreign aid Pato, Jadeson, and Marcel undoubtedly had a significant impact on the team. In addition, local players such as Tong Lei, Sun Guowen, Liao Lisheng, He Xiaoke, Jia Feifan, Yi Xianlong, and others have also left the team. With the departure of these personnel, the Taishan team's recruitment efforts are not great. Tang Chuang did not pass the trial and has already left the team, while foreign aid Madruga and Gazal are about to join the team. At 8 PM on the 19th, Shandong Taishan team also officially announced the latest news. The club posted that on the 19th, Brazilian Sports played a friendly match with Guangdong Guangzhou Leopard team, which was the last game of Brazilian Sports in China.

Recently, the forward of Shanghai Port team, Bargas, made a remarkable decision. He left Shanghai Port and joined the bottom team of the Saudi League. "The world is bustling with activity, all for profit; the world is in turmoil, all for profit." This famous saying interprets Bargas' transfer motivation to some extent. Shanghai Port offered Bargas a contract with an annual salary of three million euros before tax, but the new employer in the Saudi League offered a condition of six million euros after tax, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation. For higher income, Bargas resolutely chose the Saudi League. However, on the football field, strength and results are often closely linked, and he did not expect the new employer's strength to be so poor. Bargas' debut with his new employer was a nightmare. The new employer suffered a 0-9 defeat in the Saudi League, and such a huge gap plunged Bargas into depression. Although he may have foreseen that the new employer's strength was weak and his days in the team would not be easy before joining, such a wide result still greatly exceeded his imagination. A team like this faces a huge risk of relegation in its domestic league. According to common sense, if the situation of the new employer continues to deteriorate, Bargas is likely to terminate the contract early, take the high salary, and return to Shanghai Port. During his time at Shanghai Port, Bargas played an important role. He is a very capable forward. Since joining Shanghai Port, his performance has been commendable. In many…

According to the latest news from Xinmin Evening News, the hope of retaining the former naturalized international player Dai Weijun has been growing, especially his performance during the winter training has given Shenhua coach Sluiski a new understanding of him. On January 18th, Beijing time, Shanghai Shenhua played their first friendly match after the start of the winter training, against Dalian Yingbo, a strong newly promoted team in the Chinese Super League. In the end, after a tough battle, Shanghai Shenhua easily defeated Dalian Yingbo 2-0. It is worth mentioning that in this 2-0 friendly match, although Dai Weijun came off the bench, he impressed Sluiski with his stunning performance and proved himself well. From the situation of this game, after coming off the bench, Dai Weijun played as a shadow striker for Shanghai Shenhua, similar to the position of a winger and second striker. After he came on the field, he quickly entered the state, not only playing a good role in the offensive line, but also at a critical moment, he perfectly played the role of a goal finisher. Yu Han's wonderful assist, Dai Weijun calmly completed the shot, the timing and skill of the shot were just right, showing his excellent ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal. After this battle, Dai Weijun left a deep impression on Shenhua coach Sluiski. It is no exaggeration to say that scoring a goal in this game has added an important weight to his retention for the new season. In addition, in this winter window, Shanghai Shenhua's midfield…

The calm winter transfer window has been shattered by a massive stone, as a strong reinforcement with an 18 million Euro valuation joins, signaling a change in approach for a former Chinese Super League (CSL) champion. No wonder they gave up on the strongest naturalization candidate! Since the CSL embarked on its salary cap journey, there hasn't been much attention paid to which clubs are signing which players. After all, world-class stars used to look down on the CSL and wouldn't consider playing here. Nowadays, CSL club signings are like opening blind boxes. Of course, even big-name stars who come to the CSL can have underwhelming performances, such as Tevez and Sha Lawei. The 2024 season and winter transfer window have been open for some time now, but the transfers and signings have been relatively quiet. Instead, it's the move of Ma Lalei from Shanghai Shenhua to Dalian Yibo that has generated a lot of discussion. Does this mean that after the CSL's salary cap, there really aren't any capable foreign players willing to play? Changchun Yatai has been fighting for relegation survival in recent years, yet they once won the CSL title. Leonardo, borrowed from Shandong Taishan, performed exceptionally well and helped the team avoid relegation, but the club chose not to sign him permanently and instead let him go to Zhejiang FC. Serginho, who had served the team for many years and was close to being naturalized, was surprisingly sent to Beijing Guoan. Is Changchun Yatai destined to continue scraping by? The first batch of national team naturalizations…
