Beijing Guoan Wins Two Consecutive Warm-up Matches, Can You See That Setien Is More Advanced Than Suarez? Hey, fellow Beijing fans, today we're going to talk about our Beijing Guoan! The 2025 season hasn't officially started yet, but Guoan has already given us a great start with two consecutive victories in the warm-up matches. It's so exciting! They won the first match 2-0 against Changchun Yatai and the second match 4-2 against Chongqing from the China League One. In total, they scored six goals, which made me feel so passionate and happy! Now, many fans are starting to wonder: Is Setien better than the previous coach, Suarez? Let's discuss this. Honestly, Setien, this coach, has a deep understanding of controlling football. His philosophy of pressing and surrounding after mistakes is very fast, whether it's one-on-one or multiple players working together. This is just like the high-pressure tactics of Barcelona back then! He values ball control and pressing more than anything else. And considering his background as an international chess master, how could his IQ be low? This coach is not simple! Guoan has invested heavily in bringing in Setien. Once the national team players return, his concept of controlling football will surely take root in Guoan. Last season, Guoan lost too many points against weaker teams, losing twice to Shenzhen Xinpengcheng and even falling to Changchun Yatai away from home. At that time, Suarez was jokingly called "Song Jiang, the Timely Rain of the Chinese Super League," and now it seems there's some truth to that. Suarez's regional defense was…

Recently, Beijing Guoan is under the leadership of new coach Quique Setien, striving to win the Chinese Super League and FA Cup titles in 2025. To achieve this goal, the team has not only brought in a big-name coach like Setien but also introduced several new players. Among them, Serginho has shown remarkable performance since joining Guoan. He demonstrated his superior skills during the friendly matches. Serginho's arrival has significantly improved Guoan's attacking and defensive capabilities. Notably, Serginho is the second naturalized player for Guoan, following another promising naturalized player introduced last season. This player is 25-year-old Zheng Tuoluo, who was once a key training target for a South American giant. Unfortunately, Zheng Tuoluo faced injury issues at a critical moment. As a result, Zheng Tuoluo chose to go abroad to play in the Spanish league. It turned out to be the right decision as Zheng Tuoluo secured a starting position in the lower divisions of Spain, which delighted many fans. After comprehensive evaluation, Guoan brought in Zheng Tuoluo. However, after joining Guoan in the summer transfer window of last season's Chinese Super League, he did not get any playing time. This is because Guoan already had an equally capable goalkeeper, Han Jiaqi. With Han Jiaqi as the main goalkeeper, Zheng Tuoluo had to wait on the bench. Fortunately, Zheng Tuoluo recently got consecutive opportunities to play in the warm-up matches and performed well. Whenever Guoan encountered defensive crises in the game, Zheng Tuoluo always stood out promptly, making many fans look forward to his future. In the future, Zheng…

In the winter of the 2025 season, Beijing Guoan immediately won two consecutive matches in the warm-up games, defeating Changchun Yatai 2-0 in the first game and Chongqing team from the China League One 4-2 in the second game. The team scored a total of six goals in these two matches, leading many fans to say that Quique Setién is more advanced than Gerardo Pelusso. The main point is that Setién's interpretation of possession football is considered more sophisticated than Pelusso's. For instance, his approach to pressing after mistakes involves one-on-one challenges and group efforts, which is the theoretical foundation for him to coach a top club like Barcelona. He emphasizes high pressing and ball control. With the return of national team players to Beijing Guoan, his philosophy of controlling the game will become even more profound. There was a report stating that Setién is a master at chess, with an official chess ranking, indicating that this coach has a very high IQ. Currently, Beijing Guoan aims to maintain a high win rate against weaker teams and avoid being outplayed by strong opponents in high-scoring matches. Last year, Beijing Guoan lost too many points against weaker teams; the author remembers losing twice to Shenzhen Xinpengcheng and once away to Changchun Yatai. At that time, Pelusso was called "Song Jiang," the "timely rain" of the Chinese Super League by fans. Pelusso's regional defense was not ideal, and he used valuable foreign players in central defensive positions. Numbers don't lie; last season, Shanghai Shenhua conceded 20 goals, Shanghai Port 30, Chengdu Rongcheng…

Recently, in order to test the results of this period, the new coach of Guoan, Setien, specially arranged a friendly match against Yatai. The biggest highlight of this game was Serginho's first appearance in the team's jersey against his former club Yatai. Serginho performed outstandingly in the game, playing an indispensable role in both attack and defense. In the end, Serginho's debut for Guoan exploded, leading the team to defeat Yatai away. Serginho's explosion in his debut for Guoan has made many Chinese football fans very pleased. Because Serginho's naturalization is already in countdown. If there are no unexpected events, Serginho will play for the national team as a new naturalized player when the national team plays Saudi Arabia away in March. This is a great help for the national team coach Ivankovic. As we all know, in the tactical system formulated by Ivankovic for the national team, there has always been a lack of a single defensive midfielder who can attack and defend well. For this reason, Ivankovic once examined many national team candidates at this position. Among them, Gao Tianyi from Shenhua lost the trust of old coach Ivan after making a low-level mistake in the national team's home game against Thailand, and he has never been selected for the national team again. The single defensive midfielder position of the national team mainly relies on Wang Shangyuan. Wang Shangyuan's overall performance as the main single defensive midfielder of the national team is quite good, with impeccable defense and slightly lacking offense. Therefore, Ivankovic is particularly eager for Serginho…

Recently, according to domestic football media reports, Enjardu, the foreign center forward of Guoan, has returned to the club for winter training. After Enjardu's appearance, rumors about his departure were dispelled. Enjardu's delay in returning to Guoan for winter training made him a hot candidate for departure. At the same time, Serginho, the new aid of Guoan, appeared in the friendly match wearing the No. 5 jersey, which seemed to confirm the rumors of his departure. It should be noted that Enjardu has always been the owner of the No. 5 jersey of Guoan, so when Serginho wore the No. 5 jersey of Guoan in the friendly match, it was really difficult for fans and media not to misunderstand. Some self-media have even begun to say that the new coach of Guoan, Setien, has introduced a new central defender, Juan Pei, from La Liga. Juan Pei is a very capable central defender who has played as a starter in La Liga for many years. Guoan fans believe that if Juan Pei can come, the effect may not be worse than Enjardu. However, Enjardu's appearance at Guoan's winter training directly dispelled the rumors of Juan Pei joining Guoan. In the new season, Guoan still needs to rely on Enjardu to carry the weight in the central defender position. Enjardu is a very capable central defender who has always performed well in the game and was once the core of the European league championship team. At the same time, Enjardu is also a main international player for Cameroon. Every time Guoan's defense…

Recently, Beijing Team has made a significant announcement in the transfer market, successfully signing a player who can be considered to have reached the standards of a European powerhouse, and the entire signing process was completed at "lightning speed," taking only 3 days. This transfer move has caused quite a stir in the Chinese Super League (CSL) and has also generated great anticipation among fans for Beijing Team's new season. Let us delve into the details of this remarkable signing process together. Previously, due to the team's unsatisfactory coaching performance, Beijing Team made the decision to change coaches early on. As early as the summer transfer window, the club had basically reached a cooperation agreement with Weiss, but because his team advanced to the Champions League knockout stage and he couldn't spare the time, he ultimately couldn't come to coach, which could be considered a missed opportunity for both sides. By the time of this winter transfer window, the selection of a new coach continued to progress, and former foreign aid, Biella, played a key role in connecting the two parties. He introduced Beijing Team to the renowned coach, Setien. Initially, neither side held high expectations for substantive negotiations, considering Setien's resume of coaching top teams in Europe's five major leagues, the likelihood of such a high-level coach coming to coach in the CSL seemed minimal. However, Beijing Team still showed great sincerity, inviting Setien to Beijing for exchanges despite the uncertain outcome. Setien arrived in Beijing on December 8th, and after arriving, he first visited Beijing Team's home stadium,…

Beijing Guoan displayed remarkable competitive levels in the 2024 season, achieving commendable results in both the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup, ultimately securing qualification for the new season's AFC Champions League. Such achievements should have solidified head coach Suarez's position, as his tactical acumen and leadership abilities were widely recognized and praised by fans. However, the club clearly had higher aspirations for the new season. In pursuit of the championship in the Chinese Super League, the management made a controversial decision to dismiss the meritorious coach Suarez and appoint Setien, who has richer coaching experience. This decision sparked some doubts but also reflected the club's determination and courage to strive for excellence. Upon taking over Guoan, Setien immediately demonstrated a distinctly different coaching style and philosophy from his predecessor. As a renowned coach with extensive experience in European football, he has unique insights into team building. Most notably, his approach to youth training players became the first major reform after his appointment. Under Setien's decision, five youth training players, including Liang Shaowen and Ruan Qilong, were sent away from the team. These players are excellent talents nurtured by Guoan's youth training system for years, representing the club's future hopes and showcasing impressive competitive levels, especially in the AFC Champions League. Among them, Liang Shaowen scored an impressive free-kick in the AFC Champions League, earning crucial points for the team and leaving a deep impression on fans. However, the development trajectory of these youth training players seemed to have fallen into an awkward dilemma. Despite serving under four head…

Beijing Guoan's New Developments: Serginho Arrives, Seven Players Shine in the National Team, Transfer Drama in Full Swing? Hey there, fellow Beijing fans! Today, we're going to talk about our very own team - Beijing Guoan! Look at this excitement, it's like a pot boiling over, let's sort through this matter together. Did you know? The legendary Serginho has arrived in our Beijing territory with real gold and silver! He went straight to the Beijing Youth Daily after getting off the plane, blurting out "Number 10 jersey is my favorite." Hey, that shout almost overshadowed our captain Zhang Xizhe. But who is our Xizhe brother? He's seen big scenes and traveled through the world, and Serginho also knows how to be tactful, saying "Zhang Xizhe, awesome! I hope to cooperate well with him," showing great humility. Well, if these two can really spark on the field, our Guoan midfield will be as beautiful as a painting! After talking about the new signings, let's discuss the national team. As soon as the national team training roster was announced, oh boy, Guoan shone brightly, with seven major players listed: Li Lei, Wang Ziming, Zhang Yuning, Cao Yongjing, Lin Liangming, Yang Liyu, Han Jiaqi. This lineup is almost half of the national team! Look, except for Han Jiaqi and Li Lei who are stable in defense, the rest are sharp knives on the offensive line. Coach Ivan is turning the national team's frontcourt into Guoan's backyard? We have to give credit for this move! But then again, once these seven go to the…

As the new season of Chinese professional football league is about to kick off, Beijing Guoan Club is actively preparing under the leadership of their new head coach, Setien. As a traditional powerhouse in the Chinese Super League (CSL), Guoan aims not only to perform well in the league but also to make a strong push for the FA Cup. During this critical period of preparation, one of the most notable focuses is the development prospects of He Yupeng, a key signing for the 2025 season. After taking office, Setien immediately set out to adjust the team's technical and tactical system, planning to test the training results through four high-level friendly matches. Among them, the most eye-catching is the match against Shanghai Shenhua, which can not only test the overall strength of the team but also provide an important stage for some fringe main players to showcase themselves. For players like He Yupeng who are eager to prove themselves, this is undoubtedly a rare opportunity. He Yupeng's career development trajectory is quite dramatic. Before joining Guoan, he was already a highly regarded player. With his outstanding personal abilities, he won the favor of then national team coach Yang Keqi, successfully entering the national team. This experience with the national team not only proved his strength but also greatly increased his value in the transfer market. As a newly promoted international player, He Yupeng naturally became a sought-after target by various clubs. During the transfer process, He Yupeng had the opportunity to join Shandong Taishan. This choice was quite attractive because…

Beijing Guoan had commendable performances in last season's Chinese Super League (CSL) and the FA Cup, securing qualification for next season's AFC Champions League. Suárez, the head coach of Guoan, initially thought his reappointment was a foregone conclusion. However, with the team aiming to push harder for the championship next season, they opted to part ways with Suárez and bring in Setién to take the reins. Setién is a highly capable head coach with a proven track record. His decision to join Guoan has generated significant anticipation among fans. He has already begun leading the team through winter training to familiarize himself with the players' characteristics. During this period, apart from the two new signings, Wu Shaocong and Serginho, who have already joined the squad, there will be additional foreign players joining as well. Currently, Guoan's foreign players include Gouga, Fabio, and Engadu, and the team is looking to reinforce with two new foreign players. The prerequisite for Guoan to reinforce with two new foreign players is that Serginho must be eligible to play as a domestic player before the start of the new CSL season. Currently, Guoan is working diligently to complete the naturalization procedures for Serginho. If all goes smoothly, Guoan may be able to secure Serginho's domestic player status before the commencement of the new CSL season. Guoan's two new foreign player positions will focus on the forward and central midfield roles. The team has parted ways with Adenoro at the forward position, as he failed to deliver the expected level of performance after joining the team.…
