With the arrival of Mamadou, Dalian Yibo now has four foreign players: forwards Kalanga and Malele, attacking midfielder Labiade, and central defender Mamadou. They are just one short of completing their five foreign player quota, with only the last defensive midfielder puzzle piece missing. These four foreign players have all been tested in actual combat; Kalanga, Malele, and Mamadou were all mainstays in the Chinese Super League (CSL), not "blind boxes," while Labiade, although he played in the China League One last year, was once a regular in the Eredivisie and has experience on big stages. Just with these few foreign players, Yibo indeed has more confidence in avoiding relegation! According to a video shot by Wang Gang, the Yibo team reporter, Mamadou has arrived in Haikou and joined the entire Yibo squad. Before training, Dalian Yibo head coach Li Guoxu and the players warmly welcomed Mamadou with applause. Mamadou made a brief speech, saying that he was very happy to come to Dalian and hoped that everyone could defend the honor for this family and the city of Dalian and play an exciting season. Mamadou is currently 30 years old and made 27 appearances for Guoan in the 2024 season, contributing one assist. After his contract ended, both sides did not renew it, and Mamadou joined the newly promoted CSL team as a free agent. Both Malele and Mamadou have the character "Ma" in their names, and Dalian Yibo really has a connection with "Ma." The club's recruitment strategy is relatively clear; Malele was the main striker in last…

With the arrival of Malele to Dalian Yibenbo, the team has now secured their third foreign player. However, Dalian Yibenbo's spending spree is far from over. They have now set their sights on Mamadou, the former Beijing Guoan central defender. This latest scoop comes from a prominent online personality who had previously accurately predicted Malele's arrival. They now claim that Dalian Yibenbo's top target for a foreign central defender is Mamadou from Beijing Guoan, which seems quite likely. However, until an official announcement is made, nothing is certain, and it can only be said that there is currently contact between the two parties. The process of bringing Malele to Dalian Yibenbo was not without its twists and turns. There were rumors of him going to Shanghai Port at one point, but ultimately, Dalian Yibenbo managed to secure his signing. Therefore, securing Mamadou could also prove challenging. Mamadou is considered one of the better-performing foreign central defenders in the 2024 Chinese Super League season. In my personal opinion, Mamadou's abilities are more reliable than Engardu and superior to Beijing Guoan's new signing, Wu Shaocong. However, Beijing Guoan is looking to change their playing style this season and will no longer place their valuable foreign players in the central defensive position. The previous example of Shanghai Shenhua proves that champions cannot solely rely on defense; they must attack and keep attacking. As a newly promoted team like Dalian Yibenbo, winning the championship is incredibly difficult. They should focus on avoiding relegation first, much like last year's newly promoted teams, Shenzhen Xinpengcheng and…

At 3:30 in the afternoon, the Shandong Taishan team bus arrived at the Shanghai training base, and the players began to disembark for pre-training warm-ups. The participating players were clearly visible. During the team training, fans saw the figure of Peng Xinli, indicating that the previous report that Peng Xinli did not arrive at the base was inaccurate. It is reported that Bi Jinhao, who can play as a tall striker and defender, did not go to Dalian Yingbo as news suggested, because Dalian Yingbo has already started training, and there was no sign of Bi Jinhao. Moreover, in the announced signings of Dalian Yingbo, there was no mention of Bi Jinhao's name. A reporter following the Shandong Taishan team reported: Bi Jinhao missed training due to a cold and fever. This means that "Pengbi Shenghui" will still be with the Shandong Taishan team in the new season, as their contract still has one year remaining. Tallying Choi Kang-hee's Recruitment: "My Own Son"‌ Currently, among the foreign players of the Shandong Taishan team, only Crescendo returned on time and appeared in the training in Shanghai. The other two foreign players, Zeke and Vako, chose to stay at home because they had unfinished family matters and have not yet set off. These two foreign players were introduced by Choi Kang-hee. Including Bi Jinhao, three players from Choi Kang-hee's team are absent from the Shandong Taishan team. Choi Kang-hee also did not arrive at the team according to the club's specified time, arriving two days late. Additionally, Pato and Marcelo, who were…

The famous football city of Dalian has finally gained another Super League team, Dalian Inbo, who have just been promoted from the China League One. To perform well in the new season of the Super League, Dalian Inbo Club has introduced several new players during the winter transfer window, among whom the joining of former Tianjin Tiger captain Song Yue has received particular attention. The 33-year-old Song Yue started his career at Jiangsu Suning's football youth training system and entered Tianjin Hehai University in 2010 as a football talent. During his time at university, Song Yue excelled in the Chinese College Football League, demonstrating not only a tough playing style and comprehensive skills but also representing the Chinese college football team at the 28th World University Games, where he performed commendably. After graduating from Hehai University, Song Yue officially began his professional career. He has played for teams such as Suzhou Dongwu and Nantong Zhiyun, gradually accumulating valuable match experience. In the 2020 season, Song Yue experienced an important turning point in his career by joining Tianjin Teda (Tianjin Jinmen Tiger). After the 2021 season, Song Yue transferred to Sichuan Longcheng, but after only one season, he returned to Tianjin, joining the newly revived Tianjin Jinmen Tiger. During his time with the Jinmen Tigers, Song Yue won the trust of head coach Yu Genwei with his outstanding performance and was awarded the captain's armband. However, due to an impulsive behavior, Song Yue quickly lost his position in the team. In a Super League match in the 2022 season, Song Yue…

In the post-Golden Football era, Malele has become a "big fish" in the winter transfer window! After playing for two years at Shanghai Shenhua, Malele demonstrated strong attacking power and creativity, even though he wasted some opportunities, he remained a sought-after target by many clubs. There were previous reports that Malele was locked down by Dalian Yiben, and recently rumors linked him with Shanghai Port, causing panic among Dalian fans! However, can Port take on a foreign aid discarded by Shenhua? It seems that Malele is still more likely to be Yiben's target. Every winter transfer window, there are often fluctuations in the signings of domestic and foreign players before they are officially announced. Currently, many players have not completed their signings, and multiple teams are competing, all eligible to negotiate. For a player like Malele, who is a starting forward in a championship-contending team, coming to a relegation-threatened team like Dalian is something that fans previously dared not imagine. Does Yiben have enough financial resources and influence? At least for the first year, they do; Yiben investor Wang Kui claimed an investment of 150 million yuan, which is no idle boast. Some Dalian fans expressed that even if Malele doesn't come, they can understand. Recently, there have been rumors linking Boakye with Yiben. Some fans jokingly said, "Malele changed to Boakye? Isn't this getting worse with each choice? Will we end up signing Manzoki?" Does Shanghai Port pick up what others have left behind? They have done so in the past, such as former Guangzhou Evergrande players Elkeson and…

Dalian Yibo is set to introduce 29-year-old forward Wang Chengkui to their team, who once signed with Ajax and is worth looking forward to. According to domestic media reports, Wang Chengkui, who once played for Ajax, has already joined Dalian Yibo. Wang Chengkui will officially join Dalian Yibo in the future and take on the responsibility of leading the team's offense. Born in 1995, Wang Chengkui became famous at a young age in Chinese football and quickly gained the favor of the Dutch Eredivisie giants Ajax after his debut. At that time, Ajax was very impressed with Wang Chengkui's abilities. Wang Chengkui won a formal contract with Ajax after a period of trial training. As a result, he became the first Chinese player to play for Ajax and received praise by name from veteran Dennis Bergkamp. It is worth mentioning that Wang Chengkui also represented Ajax's second team in the Dutch Football Second Division, winning recognition from many fans. Unfortunately, Wang Chengkui had a high start but low follow-through at Ajax, failing to carry the load. Later, Wang Chengkui returned to Chinese football and began playing for Shenzhen, securing a starting position and having some highlight moments with goals. However, over the past two seasons, Wang Chengkui has been playing in the China League One, encountering a bottleneck in his career. After joining Dalian Yibo in the future, Wang Chengkui is likely to start as a substitute. If Wang Chengkui can deliver convincing performances after coming off the bench, he can secure a starting spot. Looking at the quality of…
