Jiang Zhipeng is a formidable left-back in Chinese football, known for his sharp dribbling, precise crosses, and consistently high-level competitive form, which has kept him among the top domestic left-backs. He entered the national team at the age of 24 in May 2013. Under coaches Alain Perrin, Gao Hongbo, and Marcello Lippi, his outstanding performances gradually made him the starting left-back for the national team, participating in the 2015 Asian Cup and the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in the Asian zone. Born in March 1989 and nearing the age of 36, Jiang Zhipeng hails from Xu Genbao's youth training base. Throughout his career, he has played for Shanghai East Asia, Nanchang Hengyuan (Shanghai Shenxin), Guangzhou R&F, Hebei China Fortune, Shenzhen FC, and Wuhan Three Towns. With his stable performance and disciplined training and lifestyle, he has spent most of his career active in China's top league. After the 2024 season, Jiang Zhipeng's contract with Wuhan Three Towns expired, leaving him as a free agent. Despite approaching 36 years old, he remains sought after in the Chinese Super League transfer market. According to football media "Live Bar," including newly promoted Yunnan Yulong, no less than three teams have shown interest in signing him. However, it was eventually the second-year Chinese Super League team, Shenzhen New Pegasus, backed by the British City Football Group, that took the lead and successfully signed Jiang Zhipeng. Recently, Jiang Zhipeng has arrived in Shenzhen to embark on a new journey. Here, we also wish this former national team player all the best for his future!

In this winter, amidst the howling cold winds, Chinese football has given us a warm expectation. A recent set of statistics has greatly uplifted the spirits of fans: the national team has achieved an impressive record of 4 wins and 1 draw in their last five matches! Such achievements not only demonstrate the team's improved strength but also instill a sense of hope. What transformations has this team undergone? How has their playing style been completely renewed? Let's delve into the rise of this Chinese football team together. Firstly, the tactical adjustments made by the team have been quite successful. The new head coach quickly reorganized the team's playing style upon taking office. The old, rigid, and less innovative tactical configurations have now been replaced with more flexible and targeted tactics. This change allows players to not only showcase their individual abilities but also form excellent teamwork on the field. Imagine players on the field no longer fighting alone but working together like a well-oiled machine, passing trust between each other. This change is clearly rooted in the coaching staff's emphasis on the psychological qualities of the players. They have honed the players' adaptability and response to on-field situations through various drills, ensuring that everyone can make the best decision at critical moments. Next, we must mention the players' performances. In the past, many fans were disappointed in Chinese football not only because of the team's overall lack of strength but also due to some players' underwhelming performances in key moments. Now, these young faces are displaying a spirit of…

Recently, the Chinese Football Association released the training list for the Chinese national youth team in preparation for the U20 Asian Cup (Asian Youth Championship) scheduled to start on February 12th. This competition is of vital importance to Chinese football, as the top four teams will secure a spot to represent Asia at the 2025 Chile U20 World Cup. For the national youth team, this match is akin to their "lifeline," especially considering that the Chinese national youth team has not qualified for the World Youth Championship for a full 20 years. However, things are not that simple. Since this competition is not held during the international match days specified by FIFA, several clubs from Europe have expressed their refusal to release players. Specifically, the Hospitalet team from the Spanish Second Division B, the Marbella team from the Spanish First Division A, and the Rochefort United team from the Belgian Third Division have all declined to allow their Chinese players to participate in training and matches. The reason given by these clubs is straightforward - they are currently in a critical stage of the season and rely on these players to fight for promotion, especially since these three Chinese players play key roles as rotational starters in their respective teams. For them, the U20 Asian Cup does not seem worth disrupting the rhythm of the league. In this situation, the Chinese Football Association has not given up and has actively engaged in communication with these European clubs. They stated that this competition is crucial for the future of Chinese football…

The current situation is incredibly complex. In Group C of the top 18 qualifiers, the competition has become as chaotic as a hot pot base, leaving spectators dizzy. Especially the teams originally considered favorites, such as Saudi Arabia and Australia, have been stumbling, causing people to exclaim, "This is just too unreliable!" Saudi Arabia, in particular, was thought by many to be a sure bet for qualification, but a series of mistakes have left them floundering like a lost kitten, making observers shake their heads in disbelief. As for Australia, they were once comfortably positioned in the top four, but their fluctuating form has made the situation increasingly complicated. In contrast, our national football team, although the situation is not entirely clear, at least holds 6 points and ranks third, only one point behind second-placed Australia. This directly indicates that we have a chance to make a comeback! Honestly, seeing this situation, there's a slight excitement, even starting to fantasize that if everything goes smoothly, we might be able to squeeze into the top four and challenge for World Cup qualification. After all, with four rounds of matches remaining, especially the upcoming away match against Saudi Arabia, which could be a decisive turning point. Speaking of Saudi Arabia, we cannot underestimate the strength of this team. Although they are currently ranked fourth in the group and on the brink of qualification, the historical depth of Saudi Arabian football is undeniable. They have previously qualified alongside Japan, proving their capabilities. Their coach, Hervé Renard, is no ordinary figure, having achieved notable…

The national football team is about to usher in a new round of training camp, with only two days left before the official gathering, and everyone is eagerly awaiting it. This training camp will be led by coach Ivankovic, who has rich experience and is sure to bring significant changes to the team. The list of new squad recruits has been announced, with a total of 32 players selected, but some familiar faces have failed to make the cut. In particular, Liu Dianzuo, Jiang Guangtai, and Wu Lei, who were once considered core players, their omission is like pouring salt on the fans' wounds, especially Liu Dianzuo, whose omission seems more like a signal for a lineup reform. To be honest, Jiang Guangtai and Wu Lei were dropped due to injuries, which can be understood. In competitive sports, injuries are always an inevitable enemy for athletes, but as long as they recover and regain their form, returning to the national team is not a big problem. However, Liu Dianzuo's situation is different. He was excluded from the squad due to coach Ivankovic's promotion of a "youth strategy." The core of this strategy is clearly to accelerate the renewal and replacement of the team, allowing more young players to showcase themselves on the international stage. Although this approach has its rationality, it also makes the prospects of some veterans precarious. Taking Liu Dianzuo as an example, he has always been the iron gate in front of the national team's goal, with very high stability, especially his experience is invaluable to the…

Shandong Taishan's holiday has been under close scrutiny by fans due to the conflict between Cuikexing and the club, as well as the departure of a large number of players. During this off-season, about 16 players have left the team, including 4 foreign players. Liao Lisheng has moved to Rongcheng, Tong Lei and Sun Guowen have joined Zhejiang team, and Duan Liuyu has been bought out by Xihai'an. Zhang Chi, Ji Xiang, Song Long, Qi Tianyu, and Liu Shibo will not renew their contracts, while young players such as He Xiaoke, Li Guanxi, and Yi Xianlong are on loan for training. Foreign player Pato has left the team, and it is unlikely that Jadeson and Marcel will stay. After nurturing Leonardo for so many years without much return, the club may consider selling him to recoup some investment. With this, the team's streamlining is basically in place. After streamlining, Shandong Taishan is replenishing fresh blood entirely through internal potential tapping. The Shandong Taishan B team led by Han Peng will see several players promoted to the first team. Young players like Zhang Yutong who went abroad to Serbia, Peng Xiao, Mei Shuaijun, Yimulan, and Yan Hengye who performed outstandingly in the national youth team and China League Two, as well as Shi Songchen and Chen Zeshi, are expected to be added to the team and gradually enter the main lineup to complete the transition of old and new players in Shandong Taishan. Shandong Taishan will gather for winter training on January 6th, and foreign aid introduction will also take place…

When will Chinese football truly rise to greatness? The new season of the Chinese Super League is about to begin, and it's uncertain what surprises await.

The names of the 32 players are filled with stories, some are happy, some are worried, some are hopeful, and some are skeptical. Behind this list lies the hope of the national team and the anxiety of the fans. Today, let's have a good chat about this list and see who among these 32 can carry the flag of the national team. This list of 32 people is like a big pot of mixed dishes, with both new and old players, and each position is fully arranged. There are fresh faces like Wu Shaocong and Maiwulong, as well as veteran internationals like Zhang Linpeng and Wu Xi. Whether these newcomers can show their abilities on the national team stage and carry the banner of the national team forward remains to be seen in their upcoming training and matches. As for the veterans, they are experienced, but how is their current form, and whether they can continue to perform at a high level is also a focus of attention for fans. The coaching staff's selection strategy is worth pondering over, whether it is looking to the future or just a temporary measure.

Chinese football has once again stepped into the spotlight with the potential transfer rumors of 27-year-old Chinese forward Zhang Yuning to La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid sweeping through the sports circle. Is this an opportunity to change history, or just a fleeting moment of excitement? Many people can't help but ask: Can Chinese players truly establish themselves in Europe's top leagues? This seems like a personal battle for Zhang Yuning, but it is also a reflection of the "highlight" and "embarrassment" intertwined within Chinese football as a whole. When talking about Zhang Yuning, many wonder why he has caught the attention of Atletico Madrid. In fact, all the answers lie in his growth story. Born in Zhejiang, Zhang Yuning did not come from a prominent background; his father was an ordinary sports coach who provided him with endless encouragement and support. He showed a passion for football from a young age, moving from small local pitches to the Hangzhou Greentown youth training camp. "Talent plus hard work" is an old saying in the football world, and Zhang Yuning is a perfect example of this. During his time at the Greentown academy, he stood out among his peers with his excellent physical attributes and keen tactical awareness. Later, his performances with China's U19 and U23 teams were remarkable, scoring crucial goals multiple times and helping the team reach higher stages in Asian youth competitions. The process of this unremarkable child growing into the "future hope" in the eyes of domestic fans is touching: personal effort is indeed a key factor in…

Last week, the highly anticipated official announcement of the new training squad for the national football team was made, which includes a total of 32 players actively preparing for the two crucial top 18 qualifiers set to kick off in March, against strong opponents Saudi Arabia and Australia. According to detailed statistical data, the average age of the new national team training squad is 26.7 years old, clearly reflecting the national team's strategy of optimizing its age structure. Among them, it is noteworthy that a total of 11 post-00s players have been selected, with Hou Yongyong, Mai Wulong, Jian Tao, and Wu Mitijiang all donning the national team's jersey for the first time. This move fully demonstrates head coach Ivan Kozlovic's firm determination to continue promoting the rejuvenation of the national team. For example, in past games, young players were often questioned due to their lack of experience, but Ivan Kozlovic dared to break conventions and boldly启用newcomers, a boldness that has won warm acclaim from many fans. With newcomers entering the national team camp, it inevitably means that there will be old ones exiting. For instance, Wu Lei, Jiang Guangtai, and Liu Dianzuo, with Liu Dianzuo, the goalkeeper, already 34 years old, it is reasonable for him to be abandoned by Ivan Kozlovic from the perspective of competitive form and long-term development. The younger Jian Tao, on the other hand, serves as a reserve force for the national team's goalkeeping talent, adding more possibilities for future matches. Furthermore, an in-depth analysis of the distribution of players from various clubs reveals…
