On the afternoon of January 19th, Shandong Taishan's satellite team, Brazil Sports (a team from the A3 league of Sao Paulo state, Brazil), faced off against Guangdong Guangzhou Leopard, coached by former national player Li Bing, in a friendly match at Huadu Stadium. The result was a 2-0 victory for Guangdong Guangzhou Leopard, breaking their opponent's previous streak of five undefeated games. This was the sixth friendly match for Brazil Sports recently. Prior to this, they had won 6-0 and 3-2 against Shandong Taishan B team, located in the second-tier Chinese league, followed by victories of 3-1 and 4-0 against another newly promoted team in the second-tier league, Shenzhen Youth. They then drew 1-1 with the Super League team Qingdao Hainiu. It is worth noting that the match between Brazil Sports and Qingdao Hainiu took place on the afternoon of January 18th, meaning that Brazil Sports played two high-intensity friendly matches in two consecutive days. After completing a two-week training camp in Meizhou, the Guangzhou team returned to Guangzhou on January 17th. During the training camp, the players maintained good competitive form, with Liang Xueming, Tu Dongxu, and Xia Dalong being selected for the Guangdong team's roster for the first round of the Shenggang Cup football tournament. It is reported that in order to test the recent training results and further evaluate the players, as well as to fine-tune the lineup, Guangdong Guangzhou Leopard plans to play three friendly matches before the Spring Festival. This match against Brazil Sports was the first one. The pace of the game was fast,…

During the off-season of the Chinese Super League, teams are busy preparing for the upcoming season, with personnel adjustments being a top priority. For teams aiming to win the championship or avoid relegation, the off-season reinforcements are crucial for achieving their goals in the new season. Qingdao Hainiu, a team that struggled to avoid relegation last season, has shown a positive attitude during the off-season, making significant changes to both their coaching staff and player lineup. The experience of avoiding relegation last season made Qingdao Hainiu realize the necessity of change. They first adjusted their coaching lineup, with the arrival of Li Xiaopeng, the former head coach of the national team, injecting new vitality into the team. Li Xiaopeng has rich coaching experience, and his joining has given fans hope for the team's survival in the new season. After taking office, Li Xiaopeng actively recruited players according to his team-building ideas. Recently, Qingdao Hainiu officially announced the addition of several new players, significantly enhancing the team's overall strength, and fans have high expectations for this team. After a series of adjustments, Qingdao Hainiu has been jokingly called "Taishan's Second Team" by fans. This is because there are many elements from the Taishan team within the squad. The coaching staff includes Li Xiaopeng, Hao Junmin, and Liu Zhenli, while the players include veterans such as Song Wenjie, Song Long, and Han Rongze, as well as young players like Luo Senwen, Li Hailong, Hu Jinghang, Liu Junshuai, and Cao Zheng, as well as promising newcomers like Jia Feifan and Yi Xianlong. With…

Cangzhou Lions, after failing to meet the entry requirements announced by the Chinese Football Association, quickly declared that they would not be able to continue participating in professional league matches. As a result, all their players have become free agents. So where have the coaching staff and players who helped the team avoid relegation last season gone? Let's take a look. Firstly, head coach Li Xiaopeng and assistant coach Hao Junmin have joined Qingdao Hainiu. Li Xiaopeng, a native of Qingdao, made a well-considered decision to return to his hometown team after much thought. He said, "My hometown team needs me, and I should not refuse under any circumstances. Since I've agreed to take over the team, I must keep my word and give it my all to achieve the best results within my capabilities." Goalkeepers: Shao Puliang, Han Rongze Shao Puliang, as the team captain on the field, played 21 games for Cangzhou Lions last season, making 79 saves. Currently, Shao Puliang is undergoing trials with Wuhan Three Towns and is expected to join the team. Although he is already 35 years old, he has rich experience and can mentor the young goalkeepers at Wuhan Three Towns. With the departure of national goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo, the goalkeepers Huang Zhouxin, Chen Xing, and Guo Jiayu at Wuhan Three Towns are all only 20 years old. Han Rongze's target is Qingdao Hainiu. In the "summer window" of 2024, Han Rongze was loaned to Cangzhou Lions. Last season in the Chinese Super League, Han Rongze played 7 games for Cangzhou Lions, contributing…

On January 9th, Beijing time, as the Shandong Taishan team gathered and set off for Shanghai, several players who were likely to become part of Taishan's slimming plan did not follow the team to Shanghai. The future whereabouts of these players have also become a focus for Taishan fans. According to the report by "Niu Yan Kan Qiu", a well-known media person from Shandong, Old Niu revealed that currently, three Taishan players are on trial with Qingdao Hainiu, coached by Li Xiaopeng. Another Taishan player, who was already on loan to Qingdao Hainiu last season, should not need to undergo another trial with Li Xiaopeng. These three players recognized by Li Xiaopeng for trial with Qingdao Hainiu are goalkeeper Han Rongze, midfielder Jia Feifan, and Yi Xianlong. The Taishan player not on the trial list is Song Long. For the prospects of these four Taishan players staying with Qingdao Hainiu, considering Han Rongze's situation following Li Xiaopeng through Cangzhou Mighty Lions and Qingdao Hainiu, his chances of passing the trial are quite high. Young players Jia Feifan and Yi Xianlong should also have no major issues. As for Song Long, he was a player Li Xiaopeng highly valued during his tenure at Taishan, and it seems there won't be any significant problems with him continuing to stay with Qingdao Hainiu. After multiple Taishan players joined Qingdao Hainiu under Li Xiaopeng's coaching, it also reflects Li Xiaopeng's coaching charm. As one of the coaches with the highest emotional intelligence among domestic coaches, it is believed that with him at Qingdao Hainiu,…

Translation: The Qingdao Seacow team performed mediocrely in both the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup last season, leading to doubts about the coaching abilities of their head coach, Yassen. After comprehensive consideration, the Seacows have decided to appoint the young coach Li Xiaopeng as their new head coach. Li Xiaopeng's appointment as the new head coach of the Seacows is a widely anticipated move. Last season, when he served as the head coach of the Cangzhou Lions, he had commendable performances. The Cangzhou Lions were able to complete their relegation battle in the Chinese Super League despite being on the brink of relegation, thanks to Li Xiaopeng's on-site command and tactical arrangements. Unfortunately, after completing the relegation task in the Chinese Super League, the club's wage arrears issue remained unresolved. Therefore, Li Xiaopeng chose to leave the Cangzhou Lions and take over his hometown team, the Seacows. With the assistance of this young coach, the Seacows are sure to undergo a qualitative change. At the same time, Li Xiaopeng is preparing to give newcomer Cao Zheng an opportunity at the goalkeeper position. This is because the Seacows' main goalkeeper, Mu Pengfei, is already an aging veteran. Mu Pengfei performed mediocrely for the Seacows last season, making some unexpected mistakes in key matches. Therefore, it is a correct decision for Li Xiaopeng to prepare for the future by cultivating Cao Zheng to take over. Cao Zheng is a very promising goalkeeper who has previously played as a starter for Luneng. At that time, Luneng was affected by special reasons…

Translation of the content: During the off-season of the Chinese Super League (CSL), five clubs have completed coaching changes, including Beijing Guoan, Zhejiang Team, Wuhan Three Towns, Qingdao Hainiu, and Shenzhen New Pegasus City. At the end of the CSL 24 season, Beijing Guoan parted ways with Suarez in a peaceful manner. Replacing him is former Barcelona coach Quique Setien. Setien is a typical Spanish-style coach who advocates attacking football and prefers possession play, insisting on keeping the ball on the ground. His tactical system should be quite suitable for Beijing Guoan, which currently has many young players with ideas. Zhejiang Team has parted ways with Jodi, and the new coach is likely to be Raul Caneda, a close associate of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. The progress so far indicates that both the Zhejiang Team's coaching selection group and Caneda are satisfied with each other, and only need the final approval from the management. Coach Cado-Rodriguez, who led Wuhan Three Towns in the CSL 24 season, has joined the Japanese J-League team, Kashiwa Reysol. It is reported that replacing him will be Portuguese coach Felipe Martins. This coach has been active in the Portuguese league and achieved his best result by leading his team to promotion to the Primeira Liga. The new coach of Qingdao Hainiu is Li Xiaopeng, the former national team coach, who coached Cangzhou Mighty Lions last season. Li, a native of Qingdao, has also coached Qingdao before, making his return a triumphant homecoming. Joining Li Xiaopeng at Qingdao Hainiu is also former international player Hao…

Recently, former national football team coach Li Xiaopeng will officially appear in the Shandong football circle, coaching his hometown team Qingdao Seacow. Li Xiaopeng's abilities and prestige in Chinese football are no worse than Gao Hongbo's, the only thing he can't compare with is that Gao Hongbo once led Yatai to win the 07 season Super League championship. Li Xiaopeng has never won a championship with his team, and the closest he has ever been to a championship was when he led Luneng to the FA Cup final twice. If it had been a one-game winner-takes-all FA Cup final format at the time, Li Xiaopeng would have created the feat of leading Luneng to win the FA Cup championship twice in a row. However, Li Xiaopeng's luck was very bad, as he encountered a two-leg FA Cup final. Li Xiaopeng won the first leg both times, but was overturned by his opponents in the second leg. Therefore, Li Xiaopeng failed to lead the Shandong Taishan team to win the FA Cup championship and join the ranks of domestic championship-winning coaches. The highlight of Li Xiaopeng's coaching career later on was serving as the head coach of the national football team. Objectively speaking, Li Xiaopeng's appointment as the head coach of the national football team this time was purely a case of being forced into action. At that time, Li Tie, who was coaching the national football team late in his tenure, was heavily criticized by fans, making many fans feel that he should step down. The Chinese Football Association, under…

Recently, there has been a lot of news about the Tai Shan Club, from coaches to players. However, most of the news is about departures, which cannot help but make people worry about whether the club's performance next season will be guaranteed. After all, the overall age of the team is getting older, and more time is needed from the outside world. It can be affirmed that there will always be new arrivals when there are departures, and the club will also have long-term plans, especially in terms of talent introduction, based on the support of the first team. Just as 2025 approaches, informed media sources revealed that Tai Shan has made new moves, and the first new signing for 2025 is about to appear. A familiar veteran will return to the club. It is reported that Su Maozhen, once a powerful striker in the domestic league, will sign with Tai Shan Club. This old minister of Tai Shan has been wandering outside for many years. Now his return also marks the club's attention to the growth of meritorious service. Although it is not yet known what Su Maozhen's specific position will be, he will at least enter the management level and may take on multiple roles, receiving important use. This is also a recognition of Su Maozhen's achievements upon his return. Speaking of Su Maozhen, Tai Shan fans are very familiar with him. As early as 1994, Su Maozhen was the spearhead of Tai Shan's front line and repeatedly captured cities and castles for the club. As time progressed,…

Currently, the Chinese Super League is still in the off-season, and the entry issue of the Super League has attracted the special attention of fans. At present, Cangzhou Lions are still very dangerous. Not only are the players demanding wages, but also the head coach Li Xiaopeng has fled. Li Xiaopeng has already been confirmed to coach Qingdao Hainiu, which is undoubtedly good news for Qingdao Hainiu. In the new season, Li Xiaopeng will lead Qingdao Hainiu to continue to complete the relegation mission. Last season, Qingdao Hainiu's relegation road was very thrilling, and the team finally completed the relegation task with a slight advantage. Therefore, if you want to be able to successfully complete the relegation in the new season, you must strengthen during this off-season. The team first changed the head coach, and it has been proved that in the relegation task, local coaches are even more suitable than foreign coaches. After confirming the head coach, the lineup needs to be strengthened. Li Xiaopeng locked his attention on his old club Shandong Taishan. According to Shandong media, there are currently three players in Taishan team who are most likely to follow Li Xiaopeng to join Qingdao Hainiu. First of all, Song Long, who joined Qingdao Hainiu on loan this season, returned to Taishan team after the end of the lease period, but his contract expired at the end of the year, and there was no news about being renewed by Taishan team. Therefore, it is very likely that Song Long will follow Li Xiaopeng back to Qingdao Hainiu…
