Beijing Guoan Wins Two Consecutive Warm-up Matches, Can You See That Setien Is More Advanced Than Suarez? Hey, fellow Beijing fans, today we're going to talk about our Beijing Guoan! The 2025 season hasn't officially started yet, but Guoan has already given us a great start with two consecutive victories in the warm-up matches. It's so exciting! They won the first match 2-0 against Changchun Yatai and the second match 4-2 against Chongqing from the China League One. In total, they scored six goals, which made me feel so passionate and happy! Now, many fans are starting to wonder: Is Setien better than the previous coach, Suarez? Let's discuss this. Honestly, Setien, this coach, has a deep understanding of controlling football. His philosophy of pressing and surrounding after mistakes is very fast, whether it's one-on-one or multiple players working together. This is just like the high-pressure tactics of Barcelona back then! He values ball control and pressing more than anything else. And considering his background as an international chess master, how could his IQ be low? This coach is not simple! Guoan has invested heavily in bringing in Setien. Once the national team players return, his concept of controlling football will surely take root in Guoan. Last season, Guoan lost too many points against weaker teams, losing twice to Shenzhen Xinpengcheng and even falling to Changchun Yatai away from home. At that time, Suarez was jokingly called "Song Jiang, the Timely Rain of the Chinese Super League," and now it seems there's some truth to that. Suarez's regional defense was…

A former high-ranking member of Al-Nassr FC has criticized Cristiano Ronaldo, stating that "he does not compete for space with opponents nor participate in defense, making Al-Nassr play as if they are one man down." This individual also believes that Al-Nassr's chances of winning the championship were slim from the beginning of the season. Coincidentally, Al-Nassr currently ranks fourth in the Saudi Professional League, trailing the top teams, Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad Jeddah, by 11 points, making their title hopes bleak. The reason given by this high-ranking official is straightforward: when Ronaldo is on the field, Al-Nassr effectively plays with one less player. This observation is clear to all fans, yet some prefer to ignore the obvious and blame the coach for the team's poor performance. Recently, there have been rumors that Pioli is at risk of being sacked, a situation that feels familiar. In the first season after joining the Saudi league, without a championship, Rudi Garcia was dismissed. In the second season, Castro led Al-Ahli to win the AFC Champions League, but was also fired due to the lack of a regular-season title. Now, in the third season, the problem of not being able to compete for the championship still exists. Do you think this is related to the coach? Firstly, before Ronaldo arrived, Al-Nassr had one fewer match played and led by five points in second place under Rudi Garcia. Castro, an experienced coach who had never been fired before, was let go by Al-Nassr because of his tenure with Mr. A. Now, it's Pioli's turn. Do you…

The current situation of Manchester United is really a bit of a struggle. Especially for a club with countless fan support and a resounding reputation, such results are simply unbearable. It seems like as soon as one game ends, the next is already showing signs of being unable to hold up. This is not only the anxiety of the fans but also a major headache for the Manchester United management. And in this chaos, there is a name that is increasingly being mentioned - Amorim. This name may sound unfamiliar to many, but don't underestimate him! After Amorim took office, there was a noticeable change in the team atmosphere and attitude of Manchester United. Yes, the team's morale gradually improved, and the players' fighting spirit and desire on the field also returned step by step. Although the fluctuations in performance still cause headaches, looking at it from another angle, this is much better than the previous lifeless situation. Amorim, like a magician of fighting spirit, has slightly restored some vitality to the mentality of this team. Without a strong lineup, relying solely on mentality and fighting spirit cannot defeat all opponents. Therefore, Amorim began to plan a big move - recruitment. When it comes to recruitment, the eyes of Manchester United fans light up! Especially one name that has been on everyone's lips recently, that is Pogba. To be honest, this guy has a bit of a stormy king feel. After leaving Manchester United, he went to Juventus, but as everyone knows, his time in Italy was not very smooth,…

On January 21st, Beijing time, La Liga powerhouse Valencia Club officially issued a statement condemning the behavior of some of their fans who insulted Real Sociedad players. Valencia officials stated that this behavior is unacceptable and should not exist on the football field or in society. Valencia Club also expressed in the statement that they are willing to cooperate with any requirements from relevant departments. If the identity of the individuals involved can be confirmed, the club will take corresponding measures, implementing strict disciplinary penalties, including expelling them from the Mestalla Stadium. During the last round of La Liga where Valencia defeated Real Sociedad 1-0 at home, some Valencia fans insulted and shouted offensive words at the Real Sociedad players warming up on the sidelines. It is reported that Japanese talent Takefusa Kubo of Real Sociedad became the main target of Valencia fans. Valencia fans shouted at Kubo, "Chinese! Open your eyes!" However, the introverted Kubo chose not to retaliate but continued his warm-up exercises, even showing a helpless smile. In response to the actions of Valencia fans, many netizens condemned, saying, "They deserve to be relegated, see you in the second division." "The arrogance of Europeans is in their bones, relegation is Valencia's only way out!" Currently, after 20 rounds of La Liga, Valencia has only accumulated 16 points and ranks second to last, facing a severe relegation situation. This La Liga veteran powerhouse is very likely to fall into the second division next season.

On January 20th, Real Madrid completed a comeback victory against Las Palmas in the La Liga match. Real Madrid started the game off poorly, conceding a goal within the first 30 seconds as Fabio Silva breached their defense. However, under the leadership of Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid scored multiple goals to secure the win and claim the top spot in the La Liga standings. The headline reads: "Real Madrid 4-1: Who's Absent, Who's Embarrassed! Ancelotti Activates Mbappe, 6 Goals in 3 Games, 200 Million Forward May Be Cashed Out." This was Mbappe's best performance since joining Real Madrid, as he was directly or indirectly involved in all four of the team's goals. In the 18th minute, Mbappe successfully deceived Las Palmas' goalkeeper Cillessen with a penalty kick to equalize the score for Real Madrid. In the 33rd minute, after his long-range shot was saved, Mbappe maintained possession, allowing Vasquez to assist Diaz in scoring. In the 36th minute, Rodrigo broke through from the left flank and crossed the ball, enabling Mbappe to score his second goal of the match. In the 57th minute, Mbappe passed the ball to Garcia on the left flank, who then assisted Rodrigo in scoring another goal for Real Madrid. Mbappe also had two shots hit the frame of the goal, completed two dribbles, provided five passes that led to shots, created two goal-scoring opportunities, and made two interceptions. His outstanding performance earned him a perfect score of 10 out of 10 post-match. Mbappe has been gradually finding his form at Real Madrid, contributing to six…

This season's Premier League has been exceptionally exciting, with many mid-table teams performing outstandingly and causing significant trouble for traditional powerhouse clubs. Nicknamed the "Little Bees," Brentford currently ranks 11th with a record of 8 wins, 4 draws, and 10 losses. Although their ranking is not particularly high, the team has unleashed its firepower, scoring 40 goals in 22 Premier League matches. Among them, the frontline duo of Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney have scored 13 and 11 goals respectively, ranking high on the goal-scoring charts. In particular, Bryan Mbeumo has attracted attention from several top clubs, with Liverpool even considering him as a replacement for Mohamed Salah. Bryan Mbeumo was born on August 7, 1999, in France. His father is Cameroonian, and his mother is French, giving him dual nationality of both countries. Mbeumo began his professional career with French club Troyes, joining the first team during the 2017-18 season. Due to his impressive performances in the youth team, Mbeumo was also selected multiple times for the French youth national teams. However, due to the abundance of talent in the French national team, Mbeumo chose to represent Cameroon after reaching the senior level. In the summer of 2019, Mbeumo transferred to Brentford, then still in the Championship, for a fee of 6.5 million euros. After two seasons of honing his skills in the Championship, Brentford successfully gained promotion to the Premier League in the 2021-22 season. On the fast-paced and physically demanding stage of the Premier League, Mbeumo's personal abilities have significantly improved, gradually transforming him into a top-class…

The new round of La Liga is quite lively, with upsets and stable matches. As a La Liga powerhouse, everyone saw how Real Madrid played against Las Palmas. It was quite exciting, leaving no chance for the opponent to win 4-1. So what Real Madrid dynamics are worth paying attention to after this game? After Real Madrid's 4-1 victory, Ancelotti officially confirmed that Mbappe made demands, and Ceballos did not conceal anything. Let's first talk about this game. To say that there is a big gap in strength between the two teams, it has been Real Madrid that has the advantage in recent years. Looking at the course of the game, although Las Palmas also scored goals, Real Madrid still had superior skills. In terms of shooting times, Real Madrid had 26 shots while Las Palmas had 6. Additionally, Real Madrid's possession rate reached 61%, while Las Palmas had 39%. Overall, this was a typical Real Madrid-style victory. As the team's head coach, Ancelotti also talked about many things after the game. When discussing the order of penalty kicks, Ancelotti also officially confirmed that the order is Vinicius, Mbappe, and Bellingham. This order is quite in line with the current situation within the team. Additionally, when talking about Mbappe, he also officially confirmed it. Ancelotti frankly stated that Mbappe is the best center forward in the world and performs better as a center forward than as a winger. Everyone knows that Mbappe was the hero of Real Madrid's victory in this game, scoring 2 goals. After the game, Mbappe also…

Neymar, as a top superstar, has indeed been in an unfavorable situation in recent years. However, he is now set to embark on a new chapter in his career by joining the Premier League, which will turn around his professional trajectory. It's not surprising that Neymar wants to return to playing in Europe, as he also knows that his time at New Moon is limited. During his stint at New Moon, Neymar hardly played well, making only five appearances in the first season. This season, he made just three appearances before completely giving up, starting to slack off and waste time. It's highly unlikely that Neymar will renew his contract with New Moon, so his departure is inevitable. Finding a suitable team to play for during the winter transfer window is also something Neymar needs to consider. Joining Chelsea appears to be a good choice, as they have shown strong form this season, maintaining a top-four position in the league. Chelsea is generally a young team with a stable lineup. However, they have also exposed some problems, namely their over-reliance on Palmer. The lack of a second core player has led to injuries and a decline in performance due to the long season. At this point, Neymar's arrival at the club would be a significant reinforcement. His passing and organizational skills, coupled with his flamboyant attacking abilities, could help Chelsea significantly enhance their overall strength. They can then fully focus on challenging for the Premier League title. Neymar will also aim to win his first Ballon d'Or in his career.…

Juventus, please don't sacrifice Mbanguela. After avenging AC Milan with a victory, the feeling of satisfaction finally returned. It seemed to have become a luxury as the season progressed, but in fact, it was as early as the start of the league when the Belgian youngster from the second team brought joy and surprises to the fans. In his first appearance and start for the Juventus first team, he helped the team achieve one goal and one assist. Judging by the dramatic nature, he was simply the chosen one of Motta's Juventus. Mbanguela is undoubtedly Motta's most outstanding masterpiece at Juventus so far (perhaps alongside placing McKennie at right-back), and his promotion from the second team is also his most successful "creative invention," demonstrating considerable courage. Many people may have forgotten that before the first round of the league, the background was that Juventus' pre-season warm-up matches were in poor form, and Motta had not yet officially taken office. He joined forces with Giuntoli to exclude Chiesa from the team plan under immense pressure, despite widespread confusion. Motta sent on Mbanguela, a name that the majority of fans had never heard of. Today, however, Mbanguela has become an unforgettable player for the fans. Before the game, Motta praised him, saying, "He deserves to play because he has performed exceptionally well, and today he can help everyone." Consistently, Mbanguela has shown more stability than many experienced players, and it is evident that he is a selfless team player. After the game, Motta further commented, "He provided tremendous assistance in every aspect.…
