Translation of the content: Honestly, I think our players shouldn't hold any retirement ceremonies. To be frank, they should keep a low profile; what qualifications do they have for such an event? Don't imitate foreign players who have far more honors than us. Besides Chinese fans, who even knows who you are? It's embarrassing. These are the players who make the most money in their clubs but have the poorest technical and tactical skills. They are the worst performers in the national team and the most domineering in domestic low-level leagues. They are also the least ambitious group that should have been replaced long ago. These old-timers of the national team drove Lippi away. How dare they cry? Are they just pawns of Chen from the docks? After driving Lippi away, it allowed domestic coach Li to take over, working with Chen to wreak havoc on Chinese football. We were so close to qualifying for the World Cup, but to put it bluntly, we were not just a little short. The previous generation of national team players at least tried their best. There was no scheming or cheating; they worked together on the field. Although their skills might not have been the best, they had a clear conscience, and the eyes of the national fans are bright. Here, I want to say to them, "You've worked hard." As for you, holding a retirement ceremony, I doubt anyone would bother to attend. Watching it would be embarrassing. We don't lack good players. We can play attacking football against Japan, but we…

The West Asian Gulf Cup football tournament is in full swing! The past night was arguably the craziest night in Asian football. In the last round of Group B matches, a do-or-die battle for qualification, Saudi Arabia defeated Iraq 3-1, while Bahrain suffered a surprising 1-2 defeat at the hands of Yemen. The results shocked many fans. The match between Saudi Arabia and Iraq saw both teams with one win and one loss, accumulating 3 points each, ranking second and third respectively before the game. The winner of this match would secure a spot in the knockout stage. Both teams had previously lost to Bahrain, and their form was not particularly impressive. However, Iraq ranked higher than Saudi Arabia, leading many fans to believe that Iraq would emerge victorious. After all, Saudi Arabia's recent performance has indeed been lackluster. From the start of the game, Saudi Arabia displayed an all-out attacking mentality, while Iraq seemed slightly unprepared psychologically. Although Iraq was on the back foot, their defense held up well. The first half ended in a 0-0 draw. In the second half, Saudi Arabia took the initiative to strengthen their attack. They first scored from a penalty kick opportunity. However, they were quickly equalized by Iraq. It became clear that Saudi Arabia was well-prepared, as Hamdan scored twice within seven minutes. Ultimately, Saudi Arabia triumphed over Iraq 3-1, securing their qualification. In the other match, group leaders Bahrain faced off against bottom-placed Yemen. For Bahrain, they had already secured their place in the next round and were even guaranteed top…

In order to better prepare for the World Cup qualifiers in March next year, the Chinese national football team has decided to start a new training session in mid-January 2025. At that time, which players will be selected for the training list and which players will be left out? This work provides a detailed interpretation, with a predicted training list attached at the end. Firstly, "King Wu" Wu Lei is likely to miss out. Why? Reason one: He has a knee injury that has not yet healed, and he cannot catch up with the imminent training. Reason two: Tactical and state factors. The national team has no technical advantage and can only rely on stacking strong and sturdy players to engage in physical battles. Players like Wu Lei, who have good awareness, are not very useful. Moreover, Wu Lei will be 34 years old next year, and his physical fitness, speed, strength, and ability to compete will decline, making it more difficult for him to execute Ivan's all-out defensive strategy. Secondly, the European iron gate will return The player is Wu Shaocong, a central defender playing for Radomiak in the Polish Super League. Wu Shaocong is a post-00s player, a rare left-footed central defender with excellent football intelligence and some ability to play the ball. Looking at his characteristics, he has great potential for development. Since the Polish Super League does not start until February and Wu Shaocong currently has no matches or training tasks, he has already arrived in China and is qualified to participate in the team training.…

On the morning of December 29th, the concluding round of Group B in the 26th Arabian Gulf Cup football tournament ended with thrilling matches that kept spectators on the edge of their seats. Bahrain suffered an unexpected defeat at the hands of Yemen, while Saudi Arabia managed to turn the tables against Iraq, with both teams advancing to the semi-finals. Bahrain secured the top spot in the group based on their head-to-head record. Following these results, the road ahead for China's national football team in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers has become increasingly challenging due to the strong performances by Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Bahrain's shock loss dealt a significant blow, as they were defeated by Yemen in a match filled with upsets. Early in the game, a fatal defensive error led to an own goal, giving Yemen a surprising 1-0 lead. Despite Bahrain's efforts to equalize in the second half, a red card changed the course of the game. In the dying minutes, Yemen capitalized on another defensive lapse by Bahrain, scoring in the 88th minute to secure a 2-1 victory. This defeat carries heavy implications for Bahrain, as it marks their first loss to Yemen since 2009. As the 2019 Gulf Cup champions, Bahrain had higher aspirations, but this setback has introduced uncertainty into their path to advancement. Saudi Arabia's comeback victory against Iraq was equally suspenseful. Both Asian powerhouses had one win and one loss each, with the winner of this match securing a place in the semi-finals. The first half saw intense attacks from both sides,…

Under the support of both provincial and municipal departments, Wuhan Three Towns has made up for the two months of wages owed to the players this year, and has successively resolved 11 international lawsuits before the 20th. As a result, Wuhan Three Towns has successfully passed the entry review of the Football Association. Next, what lies ahead for Wuhan Three Towns is to strengthen the team's strength and start the winter window transfer work. Unlike in the past, this time Wuhan Three Towns' transfer strategy focuses on tapping local talent from Wuhan, especially those players with a deep football heritage in Hubei, who will become the main targets for the team's recruitment. Under this guiding principle, two Hubei-born national team veterans have come into the sights of Wuhan Three Towns. They are former national team captain Hao Junmin and former national goalkeeper Zeng Cheng. Despite the fact that these two former national team veterans have been away from the field for some time, their return rumors still aroused widespread attention and expectations. For Wuhan Three Towns, bringing in Hao Junmin and Zeng Cheng is not just a simple consideration to enhance the team's strength, but also a strong push for the inheritance of local football culture. Hao Junmin, once a star in the Bundesliga and a champion of the German Cup wearing the Schalke 04 jersey, his brilliant achievements in his career have long been recorded in history. On the Bundesliga stage, he won the wide acclaim of fans with his exquisite ball skills and outstanding vision. After returning to…

As the year 2025 approaches, preparations for the new season have begun in full swing for various clubs in the Chinese Super League (CSL). The veteran powerhouse Beijing Guoan has already completed the first phase of their winter training. After the New Year's Day holiday, the team will head to Haikou for the second phase of winter training. Earlier this month, Beijing Guoan officially signed with Spanish coach Quique Setien. In the second phase of winter training, Setien will lead the team in person to practice new formations and tactics. This Spanish coach, who once managed the La Liga giant Barcelona, is very fond of using a passing and possession style of play, which can help Guoan rediscover their most adept tactical approach. In terms of new signings, according to the latest news, Serginho will make his official debut with the team during the second phase of Guoan's winter training. Currently, the procedures for Serginho's naturalization are being expedited, and if all goes well, he can become an official Chinese player before March. At that time, Serginho will not only be able to represent Guoan in the CSL as a domestic player but also participate in the 18-team tournament with the national team. Regarding domestic players, due to participating in the 18-team tournament with the national team, Guoan's Zhang Yuning, Lin Liangming, and Li Lei all suffered varying degrees of injuries, so they did not participate in the first phase of Guoan's winter training. Currently, the injuries of these three national team members have basically healed. However, they still cannot…

Beijing Guoan has had a mediocre performance in the Chinese Super League and FA Cup this season, failing to win any titles. As a result, Guoan decided to part ways with Suarez and invited Setien to become the new head coach. Setien is a very capable head coach who has previously managed Barcelona. If Setien can have an immediate impact upon taking over Guoan, he could lead the team to victory in matches and potentially win championships. Guoan is also expected to bring in several new signings in the transfer market to strengthen the squad for Setien's leadership. Notably, Guoan organized a friendly match to test the results of their winter training. They played against the Luneng Youth Team and won 4-0, with a multi-flowered offensive display. Among them, Guoan forward Yan Yu performed well, scoring twice. Although Yan Yu scored twice for Guoan, it is uncertain whether he will remain with the team for the new season. Playing as a winger, Guoan is not short of players in that position, with even substitutes being strong players who have been selected for the national team. In such circumstances, if Yan Yu stays at Guoan, he may only be able to sit on the bench. Therefore, it is recommended that Yan Yu be loaned out from Guoan to find a club where he can secure stable playing time. Following this line of thinking, Jinmen Tiger head coach Yu Genwei could consider signing Yan Yu to reinforce the team's wing position. Yan Yu is a very talented forward who has had remarkable…

China's national football team is currently in full preparation for the Asian qualifiers of the World Cup. In this round of qualifiers, although China's team ranks at the bottom of the group in terms of points, there is still a chance for a comeback as the gap with the leading teams is not significant. Everyone hopes that the Chinese team will continue to work hard and strive to create miracles on the field in the upcoming matches. To achieve good results in future major tournaments, the Chinese team must rely on their own performance.

Vietnam played against Singapore away, and it was not until the 101st minute that they took the lead with a penalty kick. In the 104th minute, naturalized forward Nguyen Xuan Truong scored to secure the victory. This 27-year-old player has scored 3 goals in just 2 appearances for Vietnam. With a 2-0 victory, a formidable opponent of the national team has emerged! A 1.86m tall naturalized center forward has scored, posing a challenge to the Chinese team. It is unexpected that the naturalized center forward Nguyen Xuan Truong, who stands at 1.86 meters tall, managed to score for Vietnam, securing a 2-0 victory. Vietnam is also a strong opponent of…

The match between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain was simply unbelievable! Bahrain's 3-2 comeback victory against Saudi Arabia was an explosive battle. Just looking at the post-match celebration scene of the Bahraini players, one could feel their unparalleled joy. You might think they only won a regular group stage match, but this victory was like winning the World Cup, with celebrations that shook the sky, and you could almost hear the cheers of all Bahraini fans. The Saudi team lost this match, and their mood hit rock bottom, which can be described as utterly devastated. Look at their post-match performance; some players were sitting on the field in a daze, with expressions so heavy that they seemed ready to burst into tears. The head coach looked dejected, and the atmosphere made even the spectators feel uneasy. Before this match, the Saudi team had already gone six games without a win, and the last victory against China seemed to be their final glory. Unexpectedly, in the first round of the Gulf Cup, they were brutally defeated by Bahrain, and their mood plummeted. At the beginning of the match, Saudi Arabia seemed to have the upper hand, controlling the rhythm quite well. However, surprisingly, Bahrain's counterattack was like a shot of adrenaline, quickly taking control of the game. In the 19th minute, Bahrain's Mahdi Jabbar mercilessly opened the scoring with a clean and decisive goal, leaving Saudi Arabia unresponsive as the score became 0-1. This was not the end; in the 38th minute, Mahdi Humaidan of Bahrain pushed the ball into the net…
