Last season, Chengdu Rongcheng's performance was both delightful and regrettable. They often caused trouble for strong teams, defeating Shanghai Port and engaging in a tough battle with Shandong Taishan, even making people believe that they might challenge for the championship at one point. However, when it came to the crucial moments, they almost capsized, losing to Shandong Taishan in the semi-finals of the FA Cup and failing to reach the final, which was truly disappointing for the fans. It's not that Rongcheng didn't make progress; over the past year, their tactical system has gradually matured, and the team's overall strength has improved significantly. However, stability in critical moments still needs to be strengthened. Speaking of stability, let's talk about the prospects for the new season. Indeed, Chengdu Rongcheng's goal is not simple: they aim not only to compete for a place in the Chinese Super League but also to perform well in major competitions like the AFC Champions League and the FA Cup, facing the challenge of competing on three fronts. This requires the team to have a deeper lineup and not rely on the performance of just one or two individuals. At this point, the addition of three new players becomes particularly crucial. First is Liao Lisheng, a name that may be unfamiliar to many fans, but he once played for Evergrande and was an important player in Lippi's eyes. In Chengdu Rongcheng's midfield, he can help alleviate the burden on Luomulo, bringing organizational and defensive capabilities. Previously, while playing for Shandong Taishan, he remained robust and performed well.…

In the fiercely competitive stage of the Chinese Super League (CSL), the rise of Yunnan Yukun Football Club has been astonishing. It's like an unexpected dark horse that has leapt into the spotlight, capturing the attention of fans. Indeed, this team that has just ascended to the CSL has become a potential stock for the future through a series of jaw-dropping transfer operations, especially after acquiring four powerful foreign players, significantly enhancing the team's overall strength. Like an invisible battle among the elite clubs, Yunnan Yukun is set to play a significant role in this competition. However, the team's rise was not achieved overnight. On the CSL stage, the once-glorious Guangzhou Evergrande shone like a superstar, while Yunnan Yukun, though relatively unknown, has made huge waves in the CSL competition through years of accumulation and substantial investment in the transfer market. Some say Yunnan Yukun is akin to the current Guangzhou Evergrande? This comparison is not without merit, as the team's lineup is now on par with any established giant. Let's discuss how this team has made a triple jump from lower leagues to the CSL in just a few years, breaking the monopoly of traditional strong teams through precise transfer operations. Yunnan Yukun's recent spending spree has indeed caught everyone's attention. They didn't just select players at random; they meticulously chose four powerhouse foreign players like Oscar, Zui, Mushegu, and Joni, names that immediately catch the eye. The addition of these new players has significantly increased Yunnan Yukun's competitiveness in the CSL, even making some traditional giants feel the…

Let's talk about the current situation in the CBA this season, it's really exciting. The 20 teams are divided into four categories, each with their own stories and suspense. First, let's talk about the elimination category. Fujian men's basketball team is in a terrible state, winning only one game in 15 rounds and suffering from a seven-game losing streak. Coach Zhu Shilong insists on not adjusting tactics and is not interested in building a local lineup. Jiangsu team is not much better, with the lowest average points and assists, and a win rate of less than 13% in the first half of the season. Shenzhen team lost its core players Shen Zijie and Salinge, new coach Zhou Peng's tactics are immature, and they are also limited by funds. Guangzhou team's local lineup is poor, young players are not up to the task, even with foreign coaches it is difficult to make progress. Tianjin team's coaching level is average, it is difficult to make a breakthrough. Sichuan team under the leadership of Han Shuo only focuses on foreign aid, the local lineup is weak. Ningbo team's local lineup is poor, young players can't carry the weight. Jilin team's strength was halved due to the injury of大腿Jones. How should these teams change the current situation? Looking at the top eight category, Tongxi, Beikong, Guangdong, and Qingdao are competing fiercely. After the first half of the season, Qingdao team has a total win rate of 62.5% and is temporarily ranked eighth, Guangdong team has a win rate of 54.2%, Beikong team has a…

Sports industry can be turned upside down by the whimsical decisions of a single individual. Take a look at the "amazing moves" of Gou Zhongwen, the former director of the General Administration of Sport, which are truly astonishing. From suppressing meritorious coaches to absurd policies, he has made a series of ridiculous decisions that have caused chaos in China's sports world, and ultimately stumbled himself. To begin with, one of Gou Zhongwen's first major actions was to drive away Cai Zhenhua, the "godfather" of the sports world. Cai Zhenhua is a legendary figure in Chinese table tennis, having produced countless world champions. However, upon taking office, Gou Zhongwen began various moves to sideline and suppress Cai Zhenhua, gradually stripping him of his power until he had no choice but to leave. This "rather destroy a forest than let another tree grow taller" approach fully exposes his ambition for absolute power. The "June 23 strike incident" in 2017 further escalated matters. Liu Guoliang, as the head coach of the national table tennis team, led the team to win numerous gold medals, with his achievements clearly visible. Yet Gou Zhongwen insisted on abolishing the position of head coach, making Liu Guoliang a vice-chairman ranked 22nd, effectively turning him into a mere decoration. This angered the athletes, with national players such as Ma Long and Xu Xin staging a collective strike in protest. Eventually, under public pressure, Gou Zhongwen had to back down, but his unreasonable and arbitrary style had already aroused widespread resentment across society. In the football circle, Gou Zhongwen's "amazing…

Evergrande has caused harm to many people, and many families have been destroyed because of it. Are you one of them? As the old saying goes, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west." Back then, Evergrande was truly in its heyday within the real estate industry, like a rising star with great momentum. At that time, housing prices were skyrocketing, and everyone seemed bewitched, believing that buying a house was a surefire investment, a direct route to a happy life. Evergrande took advantage of this fervor, expanding aggressively by building properties and engaging in financial management, creating a bustling scene that made it the industry's benchmark and a trusted brand for people to rely on. Who could have predicted that in the blink of an eye, the situation would take a drastic turn for the worse? Evergrande suddenly found itself mired in difficulties, teetering on the brink. This caught everyone off guard, especially those who had high hopes for the company, now finding themselves caught off-guard. What exactly happened? How are the ordinary people caught up in this storm supposed to carry on with their lives? Has all the previous prosperity really dissipated like passing clouds? Evergrande's problems have truly had a domino effect, with the most unfortunate being the innocent civilians. Let's start with the homebuyers, most of whom are ordinary workers, working tirelessly day and night, hoping to own a home in the city. To buy an Evergrande property, some people spent every penny they had saved over the years, shamelessly borrowing from relatives and friends,…

At the beginning of 2025, one of the most anticipated events in Chinese football is undoubtedly the entry of various teams. Currently, Guangzhou Team, which ranked third in last season's China League One, is still not optimistic about their situation. Previously, several former Guangzhou Team players, including Wei Shihao, Yang Liyu, and Yan Dinghao, raised doubts after the Football Association issued a proposed entry list. So far, these players still have contract disputes with Guangzhou Team, simply put, Guangzhou Team currently owes them money. In fact, this part of the athletes at that time misunderstood the intention of the Football Association. The Football Association only drafted an entry list at that time, which did not mean that these teams could definitely participate in next year's Chinese professional football league. It was just to give the athletes and teams a buffer period. Objections can be raised after the announcement of this list. As expected, including Guangzhou Team, many teams were reported to have received appeals from players, who had not paid off their debts. Subsequently, Guangzhou Team even conducted live streaming sales online, hoping to raise more funds for the club to complete the entry and clear the salaries owed to these players. At the same time, Guangzhou fans are also very concerned about the current substitute qualifications in the Chinese Super League because it is still unclear how many teams in the Chinese Super League and China League One cannot complete the entry and will be forced to disband, giving up how many places. These are also very important for…

On January 3rd, Beijing time, Guangzhou men's basketball team lost at the bottom of the standings, but the fans were boiling! Despite having the worst record and cheering the loudest, they suffered an overtime defeat against a weak opponent, yet managed to sell out all their tickets, with spectators focusing on the sidelines rather than the players. The CBA witnessed a match between two underperforming teams, with Guangzhou ultimately losing to Jiangsu, who had already suffered nine consecutive defeats. The game was a display of poor skills, with both teams making numerous mistakes and tactical levels being very low. Despite this, Guangzhou still managed to win in terms of attendance, as even when playing against Jiangsu, their stadium was packed. Fans came to support them, even though they were facing the second-worst team in the CBA. However, it seems that the fans were not there just for the players on the court, but for the excitement on the sidelines. This is because Guangzhou boasts the league's top-tier spectator seats. During this particular game, two special guests arrived at the Guangzhou sideline: Guo Ailun and Ding Yanyuhang, who were watching together for the first time. This was a significant reason for the fans' enthusiasm. Although their performance on the court may be lacking, their sideline seats are luxurious, and their cheering squad is impressive. The two were seen chatting happily, with Ding whispering something to Guo, causing him to laugh heartily. It doesn't matter if they can't win on the court or if their home games are average; fans are willing…

The CBA league this season is truly dazzling, with each team playing out their own stories, some rejoicing and others in despair. The Guangsha team has been leading the standings all the way, the Shanghai team has been on a crazy winning streak, and the Fujian team has finally ended their losing streak, making this season particularly interesting. Sun Minghui played a nearly perfect game against Guangzhou, with his 10 steals, 12 assists, and 15 points leaving people in awe. Such a performance also allowed Guangsha to maintain their leading position in the standings. Guangsha's record of 21 wins and 4 losses was not accidental. They showed strong competitiveness at the beginning of the season, with excellent overall teamwork and tactical execution. The team's defensive performance is particularly commendable, with an average score that has consistently remained at the forefront of the league, which is also an important reason for their stable record. The coaching staff's training and tactical arrangements are also indispensable. They formulate different game strategies based on the characteristics of the opponents, allowing the team to find ways to win when facing opponents of different styles. Speaking of the most surprising team this season, Shandong must be among the top. From last season's 21 wins and 31 losses to now 18 wins and 7 losses, such progress is indeed shocking. The team made wise choices in terms of recruitment. The addition of new foreign players injected new vitality into the team, and the growth of local players was also a key factor in the team's progress. The…

On January 1, 2025, Salvador, the current head coach of Chongqing Tongliang Long and former head coach of Guangzhou Team, posted a bilingual message on social media to thank and bid farewell to Guangzhou Team: "I will always be proud to have been part of the team, thank you for your support!" In his farewell message, he said, "First of all, I would like to apologize to every player, staff member, and fan! I had hoped to say goodbye earlier and express my gratitude in person, but it was only today that I had the opportunity to do so. I hope everyone can understand that this is due to reasons beyond my control, but my gratitude has always been with you and never changed." It can be seen that Coach Salvador left Guangzhou Team reluctantly and with deep attachment and reluctance. The departure of Salvador officially opened the curtain on the grand opening of the Guangzhou Team's "supermarket." According to reports from Football News, after Salvador took over as the head coach of Chongqing Tongliang Long, he will have more say in the transfer market. Sure enough, on the last day of 2024, Chongqing Tongliang Long officially announced the departure of 13 players, including three foreign players Wu Jiqi, Tabek, and Andrejevic, Hong Kong-Macao-Taiwan player Yin Yaji, and nine local players. Prior to this, the team also announced the retirement of veteran Wu Qing. With the change of leadership comes a change in personnel! After Salvador took office at Tongliang Long, he began a major overhaul of 13 people, completely…

For Guangzhou FC, a team that has won the AFC Champions League three times and lifted the Chinese Super League trophy eight times, recent days have brought an unprecedented challenge. It is reported that the club's entry qualifications are in question, with concerns from the Chinese Football Association that the team may not be able to resolve its financial issues in the short term, potentially leading to its disqualification from the upcoming 2025 season. Under the management framework of the Chinese Football Association, clubs must meet certain financial and administrative standards to obtain entry qualifications. Apparently, Guangzhou FC's failure to meet these financial criteria has become the decisive factor in its potential loss of entry qualifications. This is a deeply saddening message for the team's fans, who have cheered and celebrated the team's glory and triumphs. However, reality can often be cruel, leaving fans with only memories of the green fields and those shining moments. Guangzhou FC has a rich history and glorious record in China's professional football scene. Especially over the past decade, the team has won numerous honors on the Asian stage, including two AFC Champions League titles. The plight of Guangzhou FC is not just a crisis for one club; it is also a reflection of the overall environment of Chinese football. In recent years, many teams in the Chinese football league have faced similar financial problems, with incidents such as unpaid wages and club dissolutions becoming commonplace. These problems reflect both the immaturity and instability of the Chinese football market and expose many deficiencies in the…
