Last season has just come to a close, and Beijing Guoan has stood out among many teams in the Chinese Super League (CSL), becoming one of the most efficient and swift in making adjustments. Their strategy is clear and decisive; they wasted no time replacing Suarez with the Spanish coach Quique Setien. Known for his rigorous and tactically innovative style, Setien's arrival undoubtedly injected new tactical concepts and command wisdom into the team. Following this, Beijing Guoan quickly introduced two significant new players, Serginho and Wu Shaocong. Serginho, with his excellent attacking ability and technical characteristics, is expected to create more scoring opportunities for the team on the front line. Wu Shaocong, on the other hand, adds a solid defensive presence and outstanding positional sense to the team's backline. Despite already securing a new coach and these two impressive new players, Beijing Guoan shows no signs of slowing down in their recruitment efforts. Recently, the club made another move by signing Brazilian midfielder Dawan Fran from Osaka Gamba of the Japanese J-League. This transfer is crucial for Guoan as it effectively addresses the long-standing gap in their midfield. Dawan Fran's exceptional intercepting and organizing abilities in midfield significantly enhance the team's strength and control. According to the latest accurate news, Dawan has successfully arrived in Haikou and joined the Guoan team. It is believed that he will soon appear on the training ground in Haikou, engaging in intensive integration and training with his teammates. The 28-year-old Dawan started his football career at Victoria Club's youth training system. Throughout his development,…

According to information released by the Japan Football Association, this referee named "Fu Ming" is affiliated with the Tokyo Metropolitan Football Association. The Japanese football magazine "Gekisaka" directly published an article stating that this referee is indeed the international-level referee Fu Ming. If it is indeed the familiar CSL referee Fu Ming we know, it is expected that Fu Ming will "go abroad" and be permanently stationed in Japan for the new season, and may serve as the main referee in the J-League.

The 2025 season of the Chinese Super League (CSL) promises to be full of excitement, with many highlights to look forward to. For instance, after the departure of Oscar and Bargas, Shanghai Port's strength has significantly diminished, potentially leading to a more chaotic title race in the new season. Additionally, newly-promoted teams like Dalian Yibo and Yunnan Yulong have made significant investments, enhancing their competitiveness and adding suspense to the relegation battle. The foreign player policy for the new season remains unchanged, allowing five foreign players to play simultaneously. However, the total number of foreign player registrations for the entire season has been reduced from seven to six, indicating a very low tolerance for errors with foreign players, as only one foreign player can be replaced during the summer transfer window. After the departure of Oscar and Bargas, Shanghai Port has already fallen from being the top contender for the championship. Their foreign player lineup has significantly weakened, and there has been no news about new foreign signings. The domestic players are also aging and experiencing a decline in form, resulting in a substantial decrease in the team's overall strength. This shift seems to have given Shanghai Shenhua an even greater advantage, especially with Chengdu Rongcheng, who finished third last season, also strengthening their squad. Thus, the championship race for the 2025 season appears relatively clear, with Shanghai Shenhua and Chengdu Rongcheng forming the first tier, while Shanghai Port and Beijing Guoan make up the second tier. Following the significant loss in strength, Shanghai Port has finally taken action, quickly…
