On the afternoon of January 3rd, Serginho finally arrived in Beijing! This Brazilian midfielder, who once played for the Japanese J-League powerhouse Kashima Antlers and then spent five years with Changchun Yatai, is not far from officially being naturalized into China. Look at this guy, despite the long journey, he arrived at the airport with a smile on his face, interacting passionately with the fans on-site, which made everyone so happy! Not only did he hold up a Beijing Guoan scarf, but he also took the initiative to sign autographs and take photos with fans, he is simply a big sweetheart, really the future star of Guoan! The arrival of Serginho will undoubtedly have a profound impact on Chinese football. Regardless of whether he has the opportunity to play for the national team immediately, just looking at his professional experience over the years is enough to make people's eyes light up. From Kashima Antlers to Changchun Yatai, this guy is no ordinary person. In Japan, he helped the team win the AFC Champions League title, proving himself on the Asian stage. After joining Changchun Yatai, he became the attacking core of the team, making 100 appearances, contributing 30 goals and 23 assists. Such performance, just looking at the data, is enough to make people full of expectations for him. Serginho's market value is also impressive! According to Transfermarkt, his current value is 1.8 million euros, which is quite high in the Chinese football world. You know, many Chinese national team players' values are not as high as his. This also…

With the appointment of new coach Setien and the addition of Serginho through naturalization, it seems that the Chinese Super League championship in 2025 is beckoning to Beijing Guo'an. However, football is unpredictable, can Beijing Guo'an really win the championship steadily? Let's start with the opening situation and delve into Beijing Guo'an's prospects for winning the championship. First, let's look at some data: In the past five seasons, Beijing Guo'an has consistently ranked high in offensive performance, averaging 12 shots per game and maintaining a high position in league goal-scoring. This attacking firepower undoubtedly adds considerable weight to Beijing Guo'an's chances of winning the championship. However, football matches are never one-sided competitions, and Beijing Guo'an's midfield and defense also face significant challenges. The midfield issue is a major pain point for Beijing Guo'an. Despite the injection of new vitality from the new coach and newcomers, there are still concerns about the organization and creativity of the midfield. Data shows that in past games, Beijing Guo'an's midfield passing success rate was only 60%, far below the league average. This not only affects the team's offensive fluidity but may also become a stumbling block on the road to the championship. Although the newly arrived foreign aid is technically outstanding, whether they can quickly integrate into the team and generate chemistry with other players remains to be proven over time. Looking at the defensive line, while overall performance has been stable, adjustments to individual positions might bring better results. For example, some fans have suggested considering starting Feng Boxuan and using Wang Gang…

Loyalty on Display! 29-Year-Old Brazilian Midfielder Joins Guoan: In the Process of Obtaining Chinese Citizenship, Aiming to Help National Team Reach World Cup The 29-year-old Serginho is set to join Beijing Guoan. In an interview, the Brazilian midfielder emphasized that he will quickly obtain a Chinese passport and do his utmost to help the national team qualify for the World Cup finals. Serginho played for Changchun Yatai last season, making 25 appearances, scoring 8 goals, providing 8 assists, and contributing to 16 goals in total, showcasing an impressive performance. However, his five-year tenure in Changchun is coming to an end. According to multiple domestic media reports, Serginho is about to transfer to Beijing Guoan. This week, Serginho concluded his vacation in Brazil and returned to China. Beijing Guoan sent people to greet him at the scene. At the airport, Serginho took photos with a Guoan scarf. Subsequently, Serginho underwent a physical examination arranged by Guoan. It is expected that Guoan will soon officially announce Serginho's signing. Chinese fans are more concerned about Serginho's naturalization progress. Currently, Serginho has met the conditions for naturalization, and he is very eager to play for the national team. In an interview, Serginho stressed, "I am eager to quickly obtain a Chinese passport and help the Chinese team make a bid for the World Cup." Once Serginho completes the naturalization process, Ivan is likely to include him in the subsequent national team training camp. In March, the national team will face two crucial matches in the top 18 qualifiers, against Saudi Arabia and Australia. If…

The national team has undergone a significant overhaul this time, kicking out a group of veterans, even discarding players like Wu Lei who have experience in La Liga. It seems they are genuinely willing to provide opportunities for the younger generation, but whether these young players can withstand the pressure remains uncertain. The average age of the national team has dropped dramatically from over 35 to 26.7 years old, a sudden change that suggests Ivanković is aiming to completely refresh the national team. Despite Shanghai Port winning the double championship, only Yan Junling and Wei Zhen were selected, while Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai, who previously made excuses not to participate, did not even make it onto the list this time. Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Shenhua have become major contributors, each contributing seven players, with Shandong Taishan also having six players selected. Guoan has basically monopolized the midfield positions, with Hou Yongyong performing well in Norway and successfully making the cut this time, appearing quite proud in his WeChat moments. It's no surprise that Cao Yongjing, a young player with solid skills, has been continuously selected. However, Yang Liyu's return is somewhat unexpected, as he hasn't been part of the national team for three years, suggesting he must have something special. Serginho's situation has progressed smoothly, arriving in Beijing on January 3rd. Although Guoan has yet to officially announce it, he was already photographed at the airport wearing a Guoan scarf, which basically confirms the deal. It's rumored that the naturalization process is going well, and if completed by the…

In this winter, Chinese football has welcomed a warm spring breeze! On the afternoon of January 3rd, Beijing time, the 29-year-old Brazilian midfielder Serginho, with his infinite love and aspirations for football, officially set foot on the land of Beijing. His arrival not only injected fresh blood into the Beijing Guoan club but also gave countless national football fans new hope for the impact of the 2026 USA-Mexico-Canada World Cup. Today, let us unveil the mysterious veil of this potential new core of the national team together! I. Smiling and holding a scarf, Serginho's affability is full marks Despite the fatigue from the long journey, Serginho arrived at Beijing Airport with an uncontainable joy and anticipation on his face. In front of the camera, he not only generously raised the scarf of his new club, Beijing Guoan, but also used his signature warm smile to instantly ignite the enthusiasm of the fans on the scene. He fulfilled the fans' requests for autographs and photos one by one, without any airs, and this approachability made people feel very cordial. Serginho's arrival undoubtedly brought a positive energy to Beijing Guoan and even the entire Chinese football circle. Speaking of Serginho's football career, it is a journey filled with glory and brilliance. Born in the Santos youth training of Brazil, he once shone brightly in the Kashima Antlers team, won the 2018 AFC Champions League as the core of the team, showing excellent midfield organization ability and outstanding goal efficiency. In 2020, he moved to the CSL to join Changchun Yatai, contributing 30…

The Chinese Football Association has announced the list for the January training camp in Haikou, which features several points of interest. The naturalized player Hou Yongyong has been selected for the first time, representing his strength as he plays in the Norwegian First Division. Also included is Wu Shaocong, who plays in the Polish league. However, due to injuries, Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai from the Port team were unable to make the cut. The Chinese men's football team plans to hold a training camp in Haikou, Hainan Province from January 9th to 18th, 2025. The coaching staff will be led by Ivan Kraljevic, who has been actively communicating with his assistants and team management regarding winter training matters. He has called up 32 players for this winter training session. Most of these players have participated in the current World Cup qualifiers or were called up by Ivan's team last year, making them familiar faces. Hou Yongyong had an outstanding performance in the 2024 season of the Norwegian First Division. As the attacking core of Lanhjem, he played 29 times, scoring 19 goals and providing 8 assists, earning him both the Golden Boot and Best Player titles for the season. His excellent performance also raised his value to a personal record high of 400,000 euros. Looking at Beijing Guoan's situation, new coach Setien arrived in Beijing with his coaching staff in the early hours of January 4th and immediately underwent a physical examination. The team's key player Serginho also arrived in Beijing later that day. Members of the coaching staff…

The battle drums for the new season of the Chinese Super League have yet to sound, but various teams have already made key moves on their squad lineup, making the situation increasingly unpredictable. Over at Shanghai Shenhua, foreign aid Mynoro is likely in place, and after bidding farewell to five players, the lineup for the 2025 season has basically taken shape. It's like a refurbished battleship quietly docked in the harbor, waiting to set sail and plunge into the waves of the league. Beijing Guoan is aggressive, with seven national team players stationed, Serginho leading the charge, and rumors swirling about Wu Shaocong's loan move. Such a lineup seems like a meticulously crafted sword, its cold light gleaming, with growing calls for championship victory, filling fans with hope as if they can see the trophy beckoning to the team. Chengdu Rongcheng is not to be outdone, with four new signings gradually appearing at the base, Liu Dianzuo's joining being the finishing touch, as if fortifying the team's defense with a solid fortress, instantly elevating the lineup's strength by a level. They also harbor ambitions to challenge for higher rankings, eager to try. The lineup for the 2025 season is shrouded in mystery, hard to fathom. With Oscar and Bargas leaving, Citadini's loan period ending, and Wei Zhen's contract expiring, there are vacancies both domestically and abroad. At this point, Shanghai Port is like a castle in urgent need of repair, lacking bricks and tiles. With only a little over a month left before the match, three foreign aid spots remain…

As the calendar turns to a new year in 2025, it seems as though the sky of Chinese football has been illuminated overnight. A photo of an air ticket quietly went viral on social media, featuring Brazilian player Serginho, who formally announced his return from the distant Sao Paulo to once again set foot on this land full of hope. This news is like a spring breeze sweeping over the calm lake, stirring the hearts of fans. Serginho's journey was not without its challenges. He had to transit through Doha, Qatar, and after a long flight, he arrived in Beijing at dusk on January 3rd. Despite the fatigue of the journey, his heart was filled with excitement and longing. He knew that this return not only meant that he would once again don the Beijing Guoan jersey but also that he might have the precious opportunity to represent the Chinese national team in the World Cup qualifiers. Such an honor is something that any player who has left their homeland and sweated in foreign lands dreams of. Mentioning Serginho brings fans' memories back to his glorious years with Changchun Yatai. As the team's midfield commander, he injected powerful momentum into Changchun Yatai's offense with precise passing, sharp breakthroughs, and calm shooting. Last season, he made 25 appearances, contributing 8 assists and 8 goals, which is enough to prove his extraordinary strength. When the news of Serginho's return spread, fans were overjoyed and eagerly anticipated his return to bring victory to the team. The Chinese football world is undergoing a profound…

On the afternoon of January 3rd, Beijing time, 29-year-old Brazilian midfielder Serginho officially arrived in Beijing. The blogger "Elefse" from the Guoan team also released a video of Serginho's arrival in Beijing. Despite the long journey, Serginho appeared to be in good spirits. He even raised the scarf of his new club, Beijing Guoan, at the airport upon invitation. Throughout the event, he maintained a smile and fulfilled the fans' requests for autographs and photos. Born on March 15, 1995, Serginho plays as an attacking midfielder. He has played for many years with the Japanese J-League powerhouse Kashima Antlers, winning the 2018 AFC Champions League title as a core player. On January 24, 2020, Serginho joined Changchun Yatai in the Chinese Super League. In the following five seasons, he played a total of 100 games for Yatai, contributing 30 goals and 23 assists. On the German "Transfermarkt," Serginho's market value remains as high as 1.8 million euros, surpassing that of most national team players. As he is about to meet the naturalization conditions of living in China for 5 years, coupled with both Serginho and the Chinese Football Association's intention to complete the naturalization process, his nationality conversion is currently underway and may be completed by the beginning of this year. If all goes well, Serginho could participate in the two matches of the national team's 18-strong qualifiers in March. Serginho's skills and characteristics undoubtedly perfectly match the attacking midfielder position in Ivan's "4-4-2" diamond formation. If he can join the national team, it will be a significant help for…

In the 2024 season, Beijing Guoan finished 3 points behind Chengdu Rongcheng to secure fourth place in the league and earned a spot in the AFC Champions League second-tier competition! Facing the challenges of a three-front campaign in the new season, Beijing Guoan must not only change coaches but also strengthen their squad. Changing coaches has become a staple for Beijing Guoan at the end of each season in recent years. Suarez's tenure in the first half of the 2024 season was unsuccessful, but he gradually gave fans hope later on. However, after the season ended, Beijing Guoan did not choose to renew his contract. After Suarez's departure, none of the rumored coaches reported by the media arrived; instead, they chose Spanish coach Quique Setien. Setien's previous coaching record is nothing special, even somewhat lacking. Since the Guoan club chose him, there must be a reason for their choice. Setien is a coach who emphasizes midfield play and advocates ground-based attacking football, which may be why Beijing Guoan chose him, or perhaps Setien can prove himself at Beijing Guoan! Setien will arrive in Beijing on January 3rd, and new signing Serginho is already on a plane to Beijing. Changchun Yatai probably didn't expect that after playing for the club for 5 years, Serginho would end up wearing the Beijing Guoan jersey. On January 24th, Serginho will officially meet the conditions for naturalization. Since joining Changchun Yatai from Kashima Antlers on a free transfer on January 24, 2020, Serginho has been playing for Changchun Yatai. Serginho is an all-round player capable…
