With just over two months remaining until the resumption of the 18-strong competition, the national football team will organize a new training session on January 8 to enter the preparatory state in advance. Additionally, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, who are in the same group, have already completed the Arabian Gulf Cup, while Indonesia has concluded the Southeast Asian Championship, with coach Ivankovic closely monitoring these opponents. As one of the main opponents for the national football team's bid for fourth place, Indonesia is set to make significant moves. First, several Dutch players have expressed their willingness to obtain Indonesian citizenship and join the Indonesian national team. Second, South Korean coach Shin Tae-yong faces the possibility of being sacked. According to the latest news from Indonesian media okezone, an insider from the Indonesian Football Association revealed a major scoop: they plan to invite the 73-year-old European coaching legend Louis van Gaal to coach the Indonesian national team. The chairman of the Indonesian Football Association, Erick Thohir, plans to visit the Netherlands personally next month to meet with Van Gaal. It is reported that Indonesia's intention to replace the coach stems from two reasons. Firstly, under Shin Tae-yong's leadership, Indonesia finished the first six games of the 18-strong competition with only six points, ranking third in the group. However, the overall performance was not entirely satisfactory. After drawing 2-2 away with Bahrain, losing 1-2 to the national football team, and suffering a 0-4 defeat at home to Japan, the coaching staff led by Shin Tae-yong faced criticism. Secondly, Indonesia is massively naturalizing…

In the European football transfer market, Bakayoko from the Eredivisie powerhouse PSV Eindhoven has become a sought-after target for many Premier League giants. Bakayoko is only 21 years old and is in the prime of his career. With remarkable talent, impressive performance, and impeccable speed and explosiveness, he has already become a popular national team player for Belgium. Despite a slight dip in form this season compared to last, this has not diminished his appeal in the transfer market. His outstanding performance last season may still be fresh in people's minds, and even with a slight decline in form, the talent and potential he has shown continue to captivate Europe's top clubs. Recently, according to the latest news from "De Limburger," three Premier League giants—Newcastle, Arsenal, and Liverpool—are closely monitoring Bakayoko's situation. Notably, last summer, Bakayoko stated that he would only consider leaving PSV if a top club made an offer. This undoubtedly adds more drama and anticipation to the transfer rumors. For a player aiming to showcase himself on a higher stage, joining a top club is undoubtedly an important step in their career, and he is waiting for the right opportunity. From PSV's perspective, they are well aware of Bakayoko's value, so they have set a high asking price of around 50 million euros for his transfer fee. This price is undoubtedly a factor that buyers need to consider carefully, but considering Bakayoko's age, potential, and abilities already demonstrated on the field, it is not unacceptable for top clubs eager to inject fresh blood into their attacking lines.…

It's not easy! The former head coach of the national football team has been re-employed in Europe! His debut will be against a Premier League giant! If we simply compare achievements, Guangzhou Evergrande is undoubtedly the most successful club in the domestic league. Besides investing heavily to introduce excellent domestic and foreign players, the coaches are also very distinguished. "Silver Fox" Marcello Lippi and "Big Phil" Luiz Felipe Scolari are both World Cup-winning coaches. Even Fabio Cannavaro, who was a young coach, had numerous honors during his playing career, including World Cup winner, FIFA World Player of the Year, and UEFA Footballer of the Year. Compared to the aforementioned predecessors, Cannavaro's coaching resume seems quite "thin." During his tenure in the Chinese Super League, he led Guangzhou Evergrande to win the 2018 Super Cup and the 2019 Chinese Super League championship, making him a meritorious coach in the history of the club. Additionally, he also served as the interim head coach of the national team. However, upon returning to Europe, he seemed to have been playing the role of a firefighter. First, in September 2022, he became the head coach of Benevento in Serie B, but unfortunately, due to poor results (3 wins, 7 draws, 7 losses), he was sacked by the club. Then in April 2024, he took over Udinese in Serie A in a precarious situation, helping them secure relegation with a record of 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss, finishing 15th. However, he did not receive a contract renewal. It is reported that Cannavaro signed a…

For the Red Devils Manchester United under the command of Portuguese young coach Amorim, what fans are discussing most at present seems to be no longer the team's performance. After all, no matter how they discuss it, there is only worse and not better! The most discussed issue is whether Manchester United will be relegated! If Manchester United really gets relegated, the commercial empire of the Red Devils will collapse, and the reconstruction of Old Trafford will become a luxury. According to the evaluation of the 2024 performance of the top teams by DZ, Manchester United is at the lowest level, along with Tottenham Hotspur and AS Roma, which seem to be the former teams of the madman Mourinho! In short, it's not that Coach Mourinho didn't give you the opportunity to revive, it's just that you are not capable enough! The teams at the first level include Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Liverpool, and Bayer Leverkusen, two of which are also teams that Mourinho has been with, it's really a comparison of goods should be thrown away! Although Amorim has always insisted on his successful 3-defender system in the Portuguese Super League, he has not given people any hope. Look at Inter Milan's little Inzaghi, who also uses a 3-defender system, how can he be so skillful and strategic? The players of Manchester United really do not suit the 3-defender system, their abilities are here! According to the opinion of Manchester United legend Neville, Manchester United should introduce a center forward, such as Newcastle's Isaac, but this is not realistic.…

Argentina's men's football team has been one of the most successful national teams in recent years, winning the World Cup, two Copa Americas, and the South American-European Super Cup. With their outstanding achievements, Argentine players have become highly sought after. Even though Messi has retired from European leagues, his Argentine successors, such as Alvarez, Enzo, McAllister, and De Paul, have shone brightly in European leagues. With the winter transfer window open, more Argentine players are making their way to European leagues. Congratulations to the Argentina team! Two frontline stars have landed in Europe: a 19-year-old genius reinforcing Manchester City, and Lyon adding strong support. Manchester City had already secured the signing of Argentine player Echeverri from River Plate last year, with the player joining City in January this year for a transfer fee of 18.5 million euros. According to reports from Romano, Echeverri's arrival at City has been delayed, and the club has agreed to let him participate in the upcoming U20 Copa America. He is expected to start playing for City in February. Echeverri, standing at 1.7 meters tall, is known for his free-roaming forward play and core playstyle. He is capable of dribbling, passing, and shooting, earning him the nickname "New Messi." In the U17 World Cup held in 2023, Echeverri scored five goals, helping the Argentine team reach the semi-finals. His current market value is 18 million euros. City's performance this season has been poor, and they need Echeverri to provide additional firepower. On January 3rd, according to reports from French newspaper L'Équipe, Argentine player Almada, who…

In the CBA regular season, Zhejiang Guangsha defeated Qingdao with a score of 103-89, firmly occupying the top spot on the leaderboard! Guangsha, ranked first, did not stop there; they introduced new foreign aid Boban, a message confirmed by Guangsha's head coach Wang Bo after the game, emphasizing that Boban's joining is a significant enhancement to their strength. Boban stands at an impressive height of 2.24 meters and is Serbian, with several years of NBA experience, having played for teams such as the Spurs, Pistons, and Mavericks. This season, Boban has been playing in the European league, representing Fenerbahce of Turkey, averaging 12.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, and in Euroleague games, he averages 4 rebounds and 3.6 points. It is clear that Boban can play a role in guarding the paint and grabbing rebounds. For Guangsha, Hu Jinqiu has always needed a qualified substitute, and this season, the CBA's foreign aid policy has changed to 4 quarters with 7 foreign aid slots, allowing Guangsha the opportunity to sign multiple big foreign players as reserves, easing the pressure on Hu Jinqiu. As a blue-collar power forward, Boban, standing at 2.24 meters, can contribute in the CBA. Guangsha has built a team capable of contending for the championship title, having reached the finals twice in past seasons and even leading Liaoning with a big score of 2-1 in the semifinals. However, during crucial moments, key players often get injured, especially Hu Jinqiu, who frequently suffers serious injuries in the playoffs, leading to his season being cut short, causing Guangsha's annual…

On January 3rd, Fabio Cannavaro officially became the head coach of Croatian powerhouse Dinamo Zagreb, bringing this news back into the public eye. This decision is undoubtedly a significant turning point in his career, transitioning from the Chinese Super League to the mainstream European football scene. For Cannavaro, this is no small matter. Everyone knows that Cannavaro's name is well-known in Chinese football. He has led Guangzhou FC to numerous honors, especially his coaching style and deep bond with the team, which has won widespread recognition from fans. However, now, Cannavaro's goals are clearly not limited to this; he has chosen a more challenging stage - Europe. Dinamo Zagreb is not only a powerhouse in Croatia but also a club with a glorious history. The club has won 22 Croatian First League titles, 16 domestic cup championships, and even lifted the UEFA Cup trophy, making it a representative of Croatian football. For Cannavaro, being able to coach such a team with a rich heritage and ambitious aspirations is undoubtedly a rare opportunity. Many people may ask: Can he really make a name for himself in Europe? Although Cannavaro's resume is commendable in the Chinese football world, his coaching experience in Europe is relatively limited, which makes many question whether he can adapt to top-level European football. Honestly, the short-term contract offered by Dinamo Zagreb to Cannavaro has a bit of a trial run flavor. This club obviously has some trust in Cannavaro, but they are not entirely sure if he can immediately deliver satisfactory results. Although Cannavaro achieved success with…

Who is the most special coach in the world? Once known as "the Special One," Mourinho remains a central figure in discussions even after moving to the Turkish Super League. In a recent interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, he openly discussed many interesting topics, giving everyone a glimpse of the real Mourinho. Mourinho is like a bird without roots, traveling through various European leagues and leaving championship trophies at each stop, along with more controversies. From the Portuguese league to the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and now the Turkish Super League, Mourinho's presence can be seen everywhere. Traditional giants such as Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan have all won various championships under his guidance, making him truly unique. Looking back on Mourinho's coaching career, it started with consecutive European titles with Porto, which caught everyone's attention. He then reached his peak at Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and Manchester United. After experiencing disappointment at Old Trafford, Mourinho began to decline, coaching Tottenham, Roma, and Fenerbahce, teams that are no longer traditional powerhouses but still managed to bring home championships. The only exceptions were his time at Tottenham and his recent stint at Fenerbahce, where he did not win any championships. Despite Roma not being a top team, they reached the finals of European competitions for two consecutive years and won their first European title, which is enough to prove Mourinho's appeal. Therefore, many people are curious about what the real Mourinho looks like. After successfully undergoing a minor gallbladder surgery, Mourinho revealed many interesting stories…

In the NBA league, most players will experience a noticeable decline after the age of 30, and they may be replaced by younger players at any time, ultimately being eliminated by the league. In recent years, several powerful stars have suddenly bid farewell to the NBA stage. If it weren't mentioned, many fans might not even know that these six stars have faded away from the NBA stage. For example, Austin Rivers, the pride of the Rivers family, was once the top high school player in the United States. With his outstanding skills and sharp breakthroughs, he became a good choice for a substitute shooting guard. At his peak, he was also a bench bandit, averaging over 10 points per game for multiple seasons. However, at the age of 30, which is considered the prime of a player's career, he unexpectedly announced his retirement, surprising many fans. Serge Ibaka was also a tough player in the NBA, especially on the defensive end, where he was an undoubted tough guy. During his time with the Thunder, he was the shot-blocking champion, and his combination of height and agility made him extremely intimidating under the basket. After a major injury, he underwent a splendid transformation and successfully won the championship. Now, with his achievements, Ibaka has chosen to transfer to Europe, which can be described as having more money, less work, and being closer to home. Similarly, Derrick Rose's retirement was also unexpected. Last season, as a backup point guard for the Grizzlies, he still managed to contribute an average of 8…

Cristiano Ronaldo, the superstar with extremely high attention in the world football arena, is always the focus wherever he goes, and every word of his is eagerly discussed by people. After arriving in the Saudi league, Ronaldo has not been able to fulfill his wish to lift the championship trophy. Some believe that he is taking a high salary to retire in Saudi Arabia, working without exerting himself; others think that he is too old, with a significant decline in competitive level, making it difficult for him to contribute to the team. However, anyone who has watched Ronaldo's matches will not have such thoughts. Compared to many players who are gold-digging in Saudi Arabia, the 40-year-old Ronaldo is undoubtedly the most hardworking and efficient one. His goal-scoring efficiency on the field is quite high, and such performance is rare throughout the world football arena. The Saudi league is not only about Al-Nassr, as Al-Hilal, the arch-rival of Al-Nassr, also has many stars like Neymar, Misha, and Kanté, who were once prominent figures in European football. It is precisely because of the existence of Al-Hilal that Ronaldo's dream of winning the championship has been repeatedly hindered. In the blink of an eye, Ronaldo's contract with Al-Nassr has only half a year left. Although the media reported that both sides are about to complete the renewal, Al-Nassr's inability to win the league championship has become the biggest hidden danger. Recently, Portuguese media reported that Ronaldo is eager to join a team capable of winning the championship next season. Among the many potential…
