The Chinese Super League and China League One teams are scrambling to strengthen their squads through transfers, with limited time for team cohesion! On January 10th, data from Transfermarkt showed that Elche midfielder Christian Salvador has joined Tianjin Jinmen Tiger for a transfer fee of 250,000 euros. The player was born on November 20, 1994, is currently 30 years old, stands at 1.84 meters tall, and plays as a midfielder. He previously played for Zamora, Celta Vigo, Sporting Gijon, Huesca, and Elche, making a total of 34 appearances in the Spanish second division. On January 10th, Shenzhen New Pengcheng officially announced the signing of 35-year-old veteran Jiang Zhipeng. Born in Qingdao and standing at 1.78 meters tall, Jiang can play multiple positions including full-back and wing-back, and is a product of the Shanghai Genbao Academy. In the 2024 season, he made 23 appearances for Wuhan Three Towns, contributing 2 goals and 4 assists. On the national team front, Jiang has participated in international events such as the World Cup qualifiers, Asian Cup, and China Cup, demonstrating rich experience in major competitions and stable competitive form with positive contributions on both offense and defense. Jiang Zhipeng has previously played for Nanchang Hengyuan, Shanghai Shenxin, Guangzhou R&F, Hebei China Fortune, Shenzhen Jianye, and Wuhan Three Towns. Some fans jokingly refer to Jiang as the "walking god of death," as all four teams he has played for have disbanded, with Wuhan Three Towns almost following suit. "Wuhan Three Towns managed to break the curse of Jiang Zhipeng's disbandment." Of course, given the current…

The successful promotion of Dalian Yingbo not only brought Dalian football back to the stage of the Chinese Super League but also allowed many people to see the emergence of young players. Among them, Zhu Pengyu and Mao Weijie's outstanding performances have become a highlight on the road to promotion, especially Zhu Pengyu, whose growth and progress have filled people with hope for the future of Dalian football. As a new player, Zhu Pengyu's eye-catching performance in the season, especially his several key goals, demonstrated his strength and made everyone look forward to his entry into the Chinese Super League or even higher platforms. When it comes to Zhu Pengyu, many fans' first reaction may be his several key goals, especially the decisive goal in the last round of the game. At that moment, it seemed like all Dalian fans were crazy. For him, it was not just a goal but a reward for Dalian football and a symbol of his desire to contribute to his hometown's football. Looking back at this goal, Zhu Pengyu's calmness and decisiveness are enough to prove that he has transformed from a promising young man into a player who can stand out in critical moments. Reviewing Zhu Pengyu's growth process, he was not able to easily cope with the fierce competition of the China League One at first. In an exclusive interview with Football News, Zhu Pengyu mentioned the full preparations he had made to meet the challenges of the Chinese Super League. He frankly stated that if he failed to enter the Chinese…

Recently, the veteran Chinese Super League team Beijing Guoan has started its latest winter training in Haikou. Currently, new coach Quique Setién and his coaching staff have officially arrived and are leading the team through comprehensive training. It is reported that to test the results of the winter training, the club will arrange four friendly matches in the near future, including opponents such as Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, a strong team in the Chinese Super League. In this phase of winter training, one player's performance stands out, he is the local defender He Yupeng. The 26-year-old He Yupeng comes from the Dalian Shide youth training system. After the dissolution of Shide Club, He Yupeng joined Dalian Aerbin. After Aerbin dissolved, He Yupeng entered Dalian Yifang (later renamed Dalian Pro), starting to compete in the China League One, and returned to the Chinese Super League with the team in the 2018 season. He Yupeng's performance at Dalian Pro was commendable. Although he is a full-back, he possesses strong attacking power. In the 2019 season, he scored a decisive goal in the Chinese Super League, helping Dalian Pro win away against Shenzhen FC. In the 2022 season, he scored in the match between Dalian Pro and Guangzhou City, contributing to Dalian Pro's 3-0 victory over their opponents. In the 2023 season, He Yupeng provided an assist in the match between Dalian Pro and Beijing Guoan, helping the team draw 2-2, and these remarkable performances earned him the favor of the national team. In the 2023 season, after Dalian Pro was relegated and announced…

The new season of the Chinese Super League (CSL) is set to kick off at the end of March, with the Football Association officially announcing the list of teams that have passed the entry requirements. Among them, Cangzhou from the CSL, Guangzhou and Hunan from the China League One (CL1) did not meet the criteria and have been disbanded. It's a stark contrast to just ten years ago when Guangzhou was celebrating their AFC Champions League victory; now, the team no longer exists, marking the end of an era and the beginning of another. Currently, all CSL teams have started their recruitment process, with two newly promoted teams, Yunnan Yukuang and Dalian Yingbo, making the most aggressive moves. Yunnan has undergone a major overhaul during the offseason, with 21 players leaving due to expired contracts. This includes 17 domestic players from last season such as Du Jinlong, Liu Yuhao, Zang Yifeng, Li Guangwen, Cui Ming'an, Liu Yi, and Zhong Haoran, who did not receive contract renewals and have all left the team. Last season's starting goalkeeper, Yao Haoyang, left after his loan contract expired, while the team captain, Liu Yi, retired at the end of last season and will join the coaching staff for the new season. In terms of foreign players, Yunnan only retained Romanian midfielder Ionita. Notably, the two newly promoted teams seem to have a good relationship, as Liu Yi, Cao Haqing, Zhao Jianan, who played for Yunnan last season, along with foreign player Labiadi, have all transferred to Dalian for the new season. Among them, Cao…

The transfer of Wuhan Sanzhen's goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo has been quite a spectacle, as he chose to join Chengdu Rongcheng despite being offered a top-tier contract by his hometown team, Dalian Yingbo. This decision left many fans puzzled, as Dalian is where he hails from. Liu Dianzuo's transfer has caused quite a stir, with Dalian Yingbo, Chengdu Rongcheng, Shenzhen Xinpengcheng, and Yunnan Yulong all vying for his services. Representatives from these four teams engaged in negotiations, leaving Liu Dianzuo with a difficult decision to make. It is somewhat perplexing that Wuhan Sanzhen would let him go, considering he was their starting goalkeeper. It seems there must be some undisclosed reasons behind this move. Dalian Yingbo was the first to approach Liu Dianzuo, offering him a top-tier contract, which is quite rare in the current climate of the Chinese Super League (CSL), where teams are trying to control their spending. Shenzhen Xinpengcheng and Yunnan Yulong were not idle either, both sending invitations to Liu Dianzuo almost simultaneously, indicating that these teams are in need of goalkeepers. Chengdu Rongcheng arrived late in the game but showed the most sincerity, not only possessing AFC Champions League qualification but also bringing in Han Pengfei, a national-level central defender. Liu Dianzuo ultimately chose Chengdu Rongcheng, primarily because the team can compete in the AFC Champions League, which is crucial for a goalkeeper aiming to return to the national team. Liu Dianzuo is already training in Chengdu and has even filmed a New Year's greeting video, appearing to have integrated quickly. He is now waiting for…

Translation of the article content into English: The Chinese Football Association has announced the final list of teams that have passed the entry requirements. Among them, three teams—Cangzhou Mighty Lions from the Chinese Super League (CSL), Guangzhou FC from the China League One, and Hunan Billows from the China League Two—have failed to meet the criteria and are facing disbandment. Meizhou Hakka will replace one of these teams in the CSL, which is closely related to Dalian Yiben. The relegation battle for Dalian Yiben has shifted from Cangzhou to Meizhou Hakka. These two teams have a special connection; last season, Meizhou loaned Kotnik to Dalian, helping the team secure promotion. With the entry process completed, transfer activities for CSL teams will gradually increase. Dalian Yiben has been training in Haikou for several days, where many CSL teams are also conducting their winter training. Several friendly matches have been scheduled, including games against Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Shenhua, and Chongqing Long. Players such as Huang Zihao, Cao Haiqing, and Wang Chengkai have joined the training sessions. Dalian Yiben is currently most in need of central defenders and right backs. According to Liu Xiangyu, a reporter from Football News, Dalian Yiben has targeted a national-level central defender and an attacking player for domestic transfers. In the current transfer market, the most suitable national-level central defender who is available is He Guan from Shanghai Port. Over the past two seasons, he has been on loan elsewhere. If he were to join Dalian Yiben, it would significantly strengthen the defensive line, allowing Jin Pengfei to…

The transfer window for the third-tier league opens on January 6th, and teams are actively seeking reinforcements. The two football teams from the city of Dalian are no exception. Dalian Kun Cheng has already announced the signing of eleven new players, while Dalian Yibo is also actively pursuing new signings, with initial success in their search for a center back. After missing out on Italian Serie A center back Barba, Dalian Yibo's top target for a foreign center back became Mamadou, a former Beijing Guoan player. Mamadou is known for his good aerial ability, solid performance in tracking back and one-on-one defense, but he is average in physical confrontations and lacks the ability to play the ball out from the back. Therefore, the team has been looking for a capable domestic center back who can distribute the ball. Two domestic players have caught the attention of Dalian Yibo. The first is He Guan from Shanghai Port. At 31 years old, He Guan plays as a center back and comes from the Shandong Luneng Football School and Chongming Island youth training system. Throughout his career, he has played for Shanghai Port, Changchun Yatai, Wuhan Three Towns, and Henan Team. He was the main center back for his team from the 2017 to 2021 seasons, and during his loan spells at other clubs, he remained a key player. He made his national team debut in 2017 and has since played four times for the national team. He Guan is known for his excellent awareness, tough playing style, and stable defense, which will…

As a newly promoted team in the Chinese Super League (CSL), whether Dalian Yibo can avoid the "one-year tour" of the CSL mainly depends on whether it can introduce high-level and capable foreign players. Yibo has renewed contracts with six players: Lv Peng, Yan Peng, Sui Weijie, Fei Yu, Jin Pengxiang, and Sun Bo. Yan Xiangchuang, who still has one year left on his contract, has also stayed with the team, leaving only Zhao Mingjian not playing. The domestic players are still old and young, so if you want to stay in the league, you must buy five good foreign players; otherwise, saving money will lead to failure in staying up, wasting money and effort. To significantly enhance strength and upgrade equipment, investors need to spend the 150 million yuan wisely! Currently, the team has basically confirmed three foreign players, and negotiations for the other two are ongoing. The three confirmed foreign players are Kalanga, Malele, and Lapuad. After the New Year's Day holiday, Dalian Yibo will go to Hainan for the second phase of winter training, focusing on tactical drills. Lapuad arrived in Dalian on the evening of January 1 and completed his physical examination. He will join the entire Yibo team in going to Hainan. Previously, Yunnan Yuku was renting Lapuad, but since both parties have a contract, with this year's foreign aid policy adjusted to "6655", to avoid occupying foreign aid spots, Lapuad is most likely to be bought out by Yibo. In the 2024 season, Lapuad went through an adaptation period, performed well in the second…

Recently, Dalian Kuncheng, a new team in the China League One, announced the loan of full-back Wang Hao from Shanghai Shenhua. This means that Wang Hao has become the first player to be officially loaned out by Shenhua in 2025, which has aroused much discussion among fans. Born in 2002, Wang Hao has been relatively unknown in Chinese football, so much so that when he was suddenly announced to join Shenhua, most fans did not know who Wang Hao was. Later, after checking related information, they learned about him. Originally, before joining Shenhua, Wang Hao had spent a long time playing abroad in the Japanese league. His stint in Japan was more for the purpose of enhancing his profile, akin to playing in an amateur league within Japan. Therefore, many Shenhua fans were puzzled as to why Wang Hao would suddenly be favored by the club. After joining Shenhua in the 2023 season, Wang Hao has been playing for the youth team and scored a wonderful goal in the U21 league. In order to make his debut in the Chinese Super League (CSL) as soon as possible, Wang Hao proactively sought a loan move to CSL newcomer Shenzhen Xinpengcheng last season. However, his performance at Shenzhen Xinpengcheng was mediocre, with only 9 appearances in total. Judging from this data, it seems that Wang Hao is temporarily unable to establish himself in the CSL. Consequently, Wang Hao's latest loan move has taken him directly to Dalian Kuncheng, another newly promoted team in the China League One. Dalian Kuncheng performed well in…

After completing its shareholding reform, Chongqing Tongliang Long has become financially strong and is preparing to introduce heavyweight new signings. It is clear that Chongqing Tongliang Long is aiming for promotion next season, and for this reason, the team is looking at several strong players with notable abilities. Among them, the news of He Xiaqiang joining Chongqing Tongliang Long during the winter transfer window has sparked a lot of discussion among fans. In particular, Dalian Yingbo fans were surprised, feeling that he should have joined their team. As we all know, after He Xiaqiang was loaned from Guoan to Dalian Yingbo last season, he had an impressive performance. Whenever Dalian Yingbo encountered a stalemate in the game, He Xiaqiang always stood out first to perform heroic feats. Dalian Yingbo's successful promotion was directly related to He Xiaqiang's outstanding performance at the wingback position. Therefore, after Dalian Yingbo's promotion, they wanted to continue renting He Xiaqiang. After his loan period ended, He Xiaqiang returned to play for Guoan. Perhaps He Xiaqiang also felt that it would be difficult for him to secure a starting position at Guoan, which made him consider leaving again to improve his skills. However, Chongqing Tongliang Long signed a new contract with He Xiaqiang before Dalian Yingbo could do so. As a result, the big fish that Dalian Yingbo was hoping to acquire will now be taken by Chongqing Tongliang Long. Many Dalian Yingbo fans believe that the club's recruitment efficiency is too low; they should have discussed the relevant matters of joining with Guoan's He Xiaqiang…
