Last season, Beijing Guoan primarily used a double foreign center-back combination: the 30-year-old Mamadou partnered with the 34-year-old Ngadeu. The two were jokingly referred to by Guoan fans as "Bear Big" and "Bear Second." Among them, "Bear Second" Mamadou has already confirmed his departure from Beijing Guoan for the new season, transferring to the newly promoted Chinese Super League team Dalian Yingbo. Meanwhile, "Bear Big" Ngadeu returned to the team yesterday after taking a week off. At the same time, Cameroonian football journalist Claude reported that Ngadeu is negotiating a contract termination with Beijing Guoan. Claude wrote in his report: Ngadeu is unable to complete his contract with Beijing Guoan. His contract with the Chinese club will expire in June 2025. Both parties are discussing a friendly termination agreement. This 34-year-old Cameroonian international, after playing for Beijing Guoan for 2 seasons, hopes to change his environment to play football. This Cameroonian international may return to Europe to play football, with a Belgian club whose identity has not yet been disclosed giving him priority. In addition, in the American Major League Soccer, his name also appeared on the recruitment list of several clubs, including Charlotte Football Club. Currently, Ngadeu, who has returned to China, should soon make a decision for his career. Ngadeu's goal is to find a new home so that he can maintain his position in the national team when the 2025 Africa Cup and the 2026 World Cup are approaching. In the winter window of 2023, Beijing Guoan spent 800,000 euros to bring in Ngadeu from Gent. In…

On the evening of January 16th, Beijing time, according to reports from Spanish media "AS", Juanpe, the 33-year-old central defender of Spanish La Liga team Girona, has received an offer from a Chinese Super League team. The interested party is none other than Beijing Guoan, coached by Spanish coach Quique Setién. Due to the expiration of Juanpe's contract with Girona this summer and his current loss of the starting position, if Girona introduces Barcelona central defender Eric García, his playing time will be even less guaranteed, which may lead Juanpe to accept the invitation from Beijing Guoan. Born in April 1991, Juanpe plays as a central defender and stands at 1.90 meters tall. He has played for several strong teams in La Liga, including Las Palmas, Racing Santander, Granada, and Valladolid. Since joining Girona in the summer of 2016, he has served the team for 9 seasons. Juanpe is one of the longest-serving players in the current Girona squad, having experienced two promotions with the team and once serving as captain. He also helped the team qualify for the UEFA Champions League. This season, Juanpe made 11 appearances for Girona, starting 9 times, but only started 5 times in the league. His only goal came in the Champions League, where he scored a direct free-kick to help Girona secure a 2-0 victory over Bratislava, marking the team's first win in the competition's history. According to the German "Transfermarkt," Juanpe's latest market value is 900,000 euros. Currently, Beijing Guoan has foreign players such as Fabio, Guga, and Ngadu, and still has…

As we all know, the recruitment for the current Chinese Super League (CSL) is almost at its conclusion. With time slipping away and the new season drawing ever closer, clubs have already begun their winter training early to ensure team cohesion and combat readiness. As a result, the team rosters are basically set. At this critical moment, there are often surprising transfers and crucial news among the teams. Among them, recently, Spanish media reported an exciting piece of news: the forward currently playing for Albacete, Kiles, is about to transfer to the Chinese Super League. The report also indicates that the CSL team Kiles is about to join is Tianjin Jinmen Tiger. If this news is true, we can't help but admire the keen eye of coach Gen Wei. After all, although Kiles currently plays in the third tier of the Spanish league, judging from his past professional experience, as a forward, he is more adept at scoring goals than Wu Lei to a certain extent. We know that the current 29-year-old Kiles has a market value of 1.2 million euros on Transfermarkt, which is on par with Wu Lei's valuation. However, the younger Kiles is undoubtedly superior to Wu Lei in terms of reaction speed and finishing ability. In the past, Kiles even won the silver and bronze boots in the second division of Spain. Between 2018 and 2021, during his time at Huelva, he played 90 games for the team, scoring 23 goals. From 2021 to 2023, while playing for Deportivo La Coruna, he scored 38 goals in…

Recently, in order to test the results of this period, the new coach of Guoan, Setien, specially arranged a friendly match against Yatai. The biggest highlight of this game was Serginho's first appearance in the team's jersey against his former club Yatai. Serginho performed outstandingly in the game, playing an indispensable role in both attack and defense. In the end, Serginho's debut for Guoan exploded, leading the team to defeat Yatai away. Serginho's explosion in his debut for Guoan has made many Chinese football fans very pleased. Because Serginho's naturalization is already in countdown. If there are no unexpected events, Serginho will play for the national team as a new naturalized player when the national team plays Saudi Arabia away in March. This is a great help for the national team coach Ivankovic. As we all know, in the tactical system formulated by Ivankovic for the national team, there has always been a lack of a single defensive midfielder who can attack and defend well. For this reason, Ivankovic once examined many national team candidates at this position. Among them, Gao Tianyi from Shenhua lost the trust of old coach Ivan after making a low-level mistake in the national team's home game against Thailand, and he has never been selected for the national team again. The single defensive midfielder position of the national team mainly relies on Wang Shangyuan. Wang Shangyuan's overall performance as the main single defensive midfielder of the national team is quite good, with impeccable defense and slightly lacking offense. Therefore, Ivankovic is particularly eager for Serginho…

Recently, according to domestic football media reports, Enjardu, the foreign center forward of Guoan, has returned to the club for winter training. After Enjardu's appearance, rumors about his departure were dispelled. Enjardu's delay in returning to Guoan for winter training made him a hot candidate for departure. At the same time, Serginho, the new aid of Guoan, appeared in the friendly match wearing the No. 5 jersey, which seemed to confirm the rumors of his departure. It should be noted that Enjardu has always been the owner of the No. 5 jersey of Guoan, so when Serginho wore the No. 5 jersey of Guoan in the friendly match, it was really difficult for fans and media not to misunderstand. Some self-media have even begun to say that the new coach of Guoan, Setien, has introduced a new central defender, Juan Pei, from La Liga. Juan Pei is a very capable central defender who has played as a starter in La Liga for many years. Guoan fans believe that if Juan Pei can come, the effect may not be worse than Enjardu. However, Enjardu's appearance at Guoan's winter training directly dispelled the rumors of Juan Pei joining Guoan. In the new season, Guoan still needs to rely on Enjardu to carry the weight in the central defender position. Enjardu is a very capable central defender who has always performed well in the game and was once the core of the European league championship team. At the same time, Enjardu is also a main international player for Cameroon. Every time Guoan's defense…

Recently, the Chinese football scene has been graced with a notable transfer news: Lin Chuangyi, once the captain of Shanghai Port, is set to embark on a new chapter in his career. According to reports from multiple football media outlets, this experienced midfielder will make his first foray into Shandong football by joining Qingdao Hainiu Club. Lin has already begun participating in team training, and his arrival has been highly praised by Hainiu's head coach Li Xiaopeng. Lin Chuangyi's career can be described as full of ups and downs. During his time at Shanghai Port, he played alongside world-class players like Brazilian star Oscar, an experience that provided him with invaluable insights. However, his career has always been tinged with regret. On the training ground, he demonstrated top-notch technical ability and tactical awareness, with some teammates even comparing his training performances to those of Oscar. Unfortunately, whenever official matches came around, Lin struggled to translate his excellent training form onto the field. This stark contrast between training and match performance has been a long-standing challenge for Lin. Particularly in physical confrontations, he often found himself at a disadvantage, with a tendency to fall easily, hindering his ability to showcase his technical prowess in intense games. More disappointingly, during his tenure at Shanghai Port, Lin never managed to break through with goals or assists, which directly affected his standing within the team. Several coaches who initially believed in Lin's abilities and sought to heavily utilize him ultimately had to let go due to his underwhelming performances in official matches. After his…

According to the latest news from domestic media, 27-year-old naturalized national player Hou Yongyong will end his overseas career. At present, he has signed with Yunnan Yulong, a newly promoted team in the Chinese Super League (CSL), and rejected the contract offered by Rosenborg, a top club in the Norwegian Eliteserien. Last season, Hou Yongyong made a big splash in the Norwegian First Division (Norwegian second-tier league), scoring 19 goals and providing 8 assists in 29 appearances, winning the top scorer and league MVP awards. With such impressive performances, Hou Yongyong also earned recognition from Ivan. Recently, Hou Yongyong finally received a call-up to the national team, which is also his first selection for the national football team list. Currently, Hou Yongyong is training with the national team in Haikou. However, after completing the training camp, Hou Yongyong will not return to Europe to play football. The "Football" newspaper confirmed that Hou Yongyong signed with Yunnan Yulong last night. In the new season, Hou Yongyong will compete in the CSL. Three days later, Hou Yongyong will report to Yunnan Yulong. Currently, Hou Yongyong's market value on Transfermarkt is 400,000 euros. Norwegian media revealed today that Rosenborg, a top club in the Norwegian Eliteserien, is very interested in Hou Yongyong and has made an offer to him. However, Lanheim, Hou Yongyong's current club, ultimately accepted the offer from Yunnan Yulong. Many fans and media people expressed regret over Hou Yongyong's decision to reject the top Norwegian club and return to play in the CSL. Journalist Li Xuan said, "Although I want…

On January 15th, the Chinese Football Association officially announced the list of participating clubs for the 2025 season of the Chinese Super League (CSL) and China League One (CL1). Meizhou Hakka, originally relegated to CL1, will be reinstated into the CSL to participate in the 2025 season. This situation arose primarily because the previous CSL team, Cangzhou Mighty Lions, failed to pass the pre-season entry requirements and has announced its withdrawal from Chinese football, allowing Meizhou Hakka the fortunate opportunity to continue competing in the CSL. In recent years, due to the severe survival conditions of clubs in Chinese football, it has become frequent for previously relegated teams to return to higher leagues. After Cangzhou Mighty Lions confirmed their inability to meet the entry requirements, there were many voices suggesting that Meizhou Hakka would be reinstated to the CSL, and now this has become a reality. Essentially, this is also an inevitable situation. Nowadays, the survival of many teams is at risk, and it is easy for them to disappear with a misstep. However, professional leagues cannot simply reduce the number of participating teams when one withdraws, so it is normal for some teams to be reinstated. Of course, in such circumstances, we must acknowledge Meizhou Hakka's passion for football. There is no need to stand on a pedestal to criticize or attack the attitudes of some clubs, but indeed, in the current environment, it is completely understandable that some teams do not wish to continue participating in professional events. In contrast, Meizhou Hakka has always been actively seeking to…

Ivanković is leading the Chinese men's football team in training in Haikou. Let's take a look at the latest training situation of the team. Situation One: Wu Lei's Return Date Confirmed In the latest men's football training list, Wu Lei was not selected due to a knee injury. When will he recover from his injury and return to the national team? This concerns the hearts of thousands of fans. At present, his return date can be roughly determined. Specifically, Wu Lei has decided to give up the conservative treatment plan for his knee injury and instead opt for a surgical treatment plan that carries certain risks. He will undergo surgery within this week, and after the surgery, he will need 2-3 months to recover. To return to the field, he should also need another 1-2 months to adjust his athletic abilities and state. Therefore, Wu Lei will definitely miss the two World Cup qualifiers in March, away against Saudi Arabia and home against Australia. The two World Cup qualifiers in June, away against Indonesia and home against Bahrain, will be the day of his return. Wu Lei previously received a closed treatment for his leg for the national team, and for this, he deserves our blessings. Looking forward to your return, King Wu! Situation Two: Bai Helamu Leaves the Team The 43rd Shenggang Cup is about to start, with the teams being Guangdong and Hong Kong, China. The Guangdong team mainly consists of players from the Chinese Super League club Shenzhen New Pengcheng, and since Bai Helamu is currently playing…

In this football-crazed nation, the signing of every foreign player is akin to a storm, stirring up the attention and discussion of countless fans. Recently, Shenhua's new foreign aid, Minero, joined amidst the doubts of many Harbour fans. Will this Brazilian striker become the new overlord on the Chinese Super League (CSL) field? Let's wait and see. Minero's joining has undoubtedly sparked a wave of enthusiasm among Shenhua fans. His frontcourt assault capabilities, dribbling past defenders, and shooting skills have been well-known since his time in the Spanish second division. However, Harbour fans are not impressed. They point out Minero's history of heart bypass surgery, Achilles tendon rupture surgery, and a not-so-impressive goal tally in the Spanish second division, attempting to downplay the new signing. But Shenhua fans are not convinced. They believe that Minero's abilities far surpass those of Malele, with a lower limit comparable to Andre Luis. Speaking of Malele, the forward who scored 16 goals for Shenhua last season, his abilities are certainly not to be underestimated. However, Minero's arrival seems to herald a shift in power at the forward position. From a technical standpoint, Minero's agility, speed, and shooting accuracy are impressive, often causing headaches for opposing defenders. In comparison, while Malele's professionalism and attitude towards the game are commendable, he seems slightly lacking in terms of offensive versatility. Of course, football matches are not just about individual ability; teamwork and tactical execution are equally important. Whether Shenhua can make a difference in the new season will depend on how the head coach manages this team…
