Seiteng has just taken office, and Guoan has finalized two young domestic talents, with the best successor to Chi Zhongguo in place.

The first rays of sunlight in 2025 illuminate the Haikou training base, where Beijing Guoan's preparations for the new season have fully commenced. At this hopeful start of the year, the team not only welcomes new faces but also undergoes a significant squad reshuffle! The most eye-catching addition is the 24-year-old national team central defender, Wu Shaocong. This talent from Beijing Baxy's youth training system has experienced the training of the J-League's Shimizu Pulse U19 team in Japan and subsequently played for Guangzhou Evergrande, where he was frequently selected for the national team, demonstrating remarkable abilities. Although his development in the Turkish Super League was not smooth, his decision to return to the CSL and join Beijing Guoan undoubtedly injects new vitality into the team. New head coach Setien shows great enthusiasm for Wu Shaocong's arrival. The Spanish coach values Wu Shaocong's excellent physical condition, technical characteristics, and tactical understanding, believing he perfectly fits the team's tactical system requirements. Although Wu Shaocong was scheduled to report to the national team on January 9th, he arrived early in Haikou to participate in team training, earning the admiration of the coaching staff with his professional attitude. However, signing Wu Shaocong requires a substantial transfer fee, leading the team to make some tough decisions. According to reports from the Beijing Youth Daily journalist, Guoan will transfer young players Ruan Qilong, Ma Yujun, and He Xiaoqiang to Chongqing Tongliang Long in the China League One, while retaining buy-back clauses. Meanwhile, former AFC Champions League captain Liang Shaowen and Yan Yu will join Shaanxi Chang'an…

Beijing Guoan fans have finally received some long-awaited good news! During the winter training period, the team's lineup has been strengthened with the return of some key players, which has greatly boosted morale. Key players such as Zhang Yuning, Lin Liangming, and Li Lei have returned to the team one after another, and foreign players have also arrived in succession. Serginho, the newly naturalized player, is particularly anticipated. Especially after the arrival of Setien, who once coached Barcelona, the team's tactical style has gradually changed, seemingly injecting new vitality into Guoan. During the winter training, what fans are most concerned about is undoubtedly the condition of these players and the integration of the team. Looking back at Guoan's winter training, the lineup has evolved from being stretched thin at the beginning to gradually taking shape, bringing a glimmer of hope. Many fans feel that the confusion at the beginning of the season seems to have dissipated. The return of key players like Zhang Yuning and Li Lei has significantly enhanced the team's overall strength. "This is the Guoan I've been looking forward to!" Some fans commented, expressing growing confidence in the team's lineup. Especially seeing the tacit cooperation between Serginho and Zhang Yuning, it makes people look forward to their better performance in the new season. This season, Guoan not only has stable midfield coordination but also more creativity and attacking threats in the offensive end, and the overall cohesion of the entire team has been enhanced. Although the lineup is gradually complete, an important issue that has not been…

According to Spanish media "canarias7", former Beijing Guoan's meritorious foreign aid Jonathan Viera hopes to return to Beijing Guoan, and now they have had contact. It is understood that Viera has received offers from La Liga, Segunda División teams, and also received an invitation from Beijing Guoan, he prefers to return to Beijing Guoan. According to the latest news from the Spanish media, Viera played a role in promoting Setien's coaching of Beijing Guoan this time, and he also hopes to fight side by side with Setien again. The data shows that from October 2015 to June 2017, Setien was coaching the La Liga team Las Palmas, and Viera also served during this period, and both Setien and Viera are very familiar with each other. If he returns to Guoan this time, the two can fight side by side again. Viera is currently 35 years old, valued at 700,000 euros, and is in the late stage of his career. Previously, Viera played 88 times for Beijing Guoan, scoring 30 goals directly and assisting 30 times, and has always been a very important attacking player for the team. Since leaving Hurfeikan, Viera has always been a free agent. That is to say, Beijing Guoan can sign Viera for free this time. A few days ago, Beijing Guoan player Yu Dabao also took a cordial photo with Viera, which may confirm the news that Guoan has contacted him. To be honest, Beijing Guoan really lacks good midfielders right now. Zhang Xizhe's form is obviously not as good as before, and the performance…

Beijing Guoan Club has arranged a series of winter training plans early in order to achieve good results next season. However, the original cancellation of the winter training plan by the Football Association and the national team coach Ivankovic has changed, with an additional 10-day winter training plan scheduled for January 9th, which conflicts with Beijing Guoan Club's second phase of winter training starting on January 5th. With the arrival of new coach Setien's team and key signing Serginho in Beijing, the club has already gathered a complete squad at the Hainan Guoan Winter Training Base on the 5th, which is also the key stage of the entire winter training plan. Setien's tactical approach and personnel configuration will initially take shape during this period. However, due to the fact that seven Beijing Guoan players are included in the national team training list, the club and Setien have encountered a pleasant dilemma. On one hand, it shows that Beijing Guoan players' abilities are recognized; on the other hand, the absence of seven main players has caused Setien to be unable to train normally. This unexpected situation has indeed caught the Guoan Club off guard. Beijing Guoan faces a four-front battle this season, including the league, AFC Champions League, FA Cup, and the national team. If Serginho's naturalization is successful and Wu Shaocong and Wei Zhen can join smoothly, the number of players selected for the national team could increase to ten. Beijing Guoan Club has always prioritized the interests of the national team, selflessly contributing many main players to bring glory…

This time, Beijing Guo'an has really brought a big surprise to the fans. We all know that coaches of this level are not easy to sign, especially in the current economic environment. It is surprising that Guo'an managed to bring in Setien. Everyone knows that the golden football era of the Chinese Super League (CSL) is no longer there, and clubs are facing financial difficulties. Especially for big-name foreign coaches like Setien, their salaries are not cheap. Moreover, top European league clubs still have a strong attraction to these coaches. Who would be willing to easily give up a higher-level stage? Beijing Guo'an has managed to put this deal on track through careful operations. In fact, as early as the plan to change coaches, Guo'an had already started to think about it. The previous coach, Suarez, failed to lead the team to achieve satisfactory results, and his tactics were not particularly outstanding. The idea of changing coaches had been there for a long time. During the summer transfer window, Guo'an almost reached an agreement with Weiss, but he was delayed because his team performed very well in the Champions League. There was no choice but to readjust the strategy and continue to look for suitable coaches. And at this time, Setien unexpectedly appeared in their field of vision. Talking about Setien, fans must be familiar with him. His coaching style always emphasizes passing and control, focusing on ball possession and rhythm control. This tactical concept is exactly what Guo'an fans have been longing for. You know, Setien once led Barcelona…

On January 5th, Beijing time, Beijing Guoan has officially assembled in Haikou to start the second phase of winter training preparations for the new season. Since the end of the first phase of physical fitness reserve stage of winter training on December 28 last year, the main task of this Haikou winter training will shift to team lineup integration and tactical drills. At the same time, the foreign coaching team led by the newly appointed Spanish head coach Quique Setién will join the team, and Setién will officially begin his coaching career at Guoan Club. Setién completed his signing with Guoan in December last year before returning to Spain to deal with personal affairs. He arranged for his chief assistant coach Ramio to stay behind to lead Guoan through the first phase of winter training. As a coach who has coached La Liga giants Barcelona, Setién is undoubtedly the most prominent coach in the current Chinese Super League (CSL). In recent seasons, Beijing Guoan has experienced frequent changes in foreign coaches, but the team's performance has not improved. After finishing only fourth in the CSL last season, this forced the Guoan management to make another coaching change decision. The controversial former Portuguese head coach, Suárez, left, and was replaced by the more famous former Barcelona coach Quique Setién. The opinions on Guoan's new coach selection are mixed. The 66-year-old Setién is a professional coach trained by the Spanish football system, with a rich coaching resume. His coaching style is typical of the possession and control technical flow route favored by…

The winter transfer window for the Chinese Super League (CSL) is about to open, and Beijing Guoan has made a "big move" in anticipation. Last season, under the leadership of Portuguese coach Suarez, Guoan finished fourth in the league, missing out on the AFC Champions League, and was left behind by the top two teams, Shanghai Port and Shanghai Shenhua, causing concern among the club's management. At this critical juncture, changing coaches became inevitable. Setien, who once coached Barcelona, quickly took office. Upon his arrival, he demonstrated a bold style, putting five players, including Yu Dabao and Li Ke, on the list for transfer, which sparked heated discussions among fans. Among those being transferred, captain Yu Dabao is a meritorious veteran with a glorious record. In the 2024 season, he played 16 times, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist. Versatile enough to play as both a forward and center-back, he is known as the team's "jack-of-all-trades," ready to fill any position needed. Everyone had hoped he would retire peacefully at Guoan, but after his contract expired, he was let go by the new coach, and there are even rumors that he might retire. Fans are reluctant to see him go, and the topic "Saving Yu Dabao's Career" has gained significant online attention. They reminisce about his past highlights, such as his passionate celebrations after scoring decisive goals, which remain unforgettable to this day. Zhang Chengdong, on the other hand, played 12 games last season with less impressive statistics, but his fighting spirit on the field was evident to all.…

With former Barcelona coach Setien officially taking over the reins of Beijing Guoan, the new season of this veteran powerhouse in the Chinese Super League has become highly anticipated. However, although Beijing Guoan has started the first phase of winter training, coach Setien has not yet officially taken office. He will only officially take up his post when the second phase of Beijing Guoan's winter training begins. Although Setien has not yet officially taken office, Beijing Guoan's winter transfer work is also in full swing. According to famous football journalist Yang Tianying, in order to further upgrade the squad, Beijing Guoan will inevitably introduce some plug-and-play tough players. And according to reports from many domestic media outlets, as of now, Beijing Guoan has already secured three national team-level new signings. These three national team-level new signings who are about to join Beijing Guoan are Wu Shaocong, Serginho, and Wei Zhen. These three national team-level players have become the top targets for Beijing Guoan to strengthen their squad during the winter window. Their joining will undoubtedly greatly enhance Beijing Guoan's competitiveness in the new season. Wu Shaocong, a young defender in the prime of his career, has been struggling on European fields in recent years. From being a mainstay in the Turkish Super League to gaining experience in the Polish league, Wu Shaocong's football career has been filled with ups and downs and challenges. Although his performance in the Polish league has not yet reached its peak, Wu Shaocong's potential and strength have long been widely recognized within the industry. Now,…

Setien is currently the most prominent head coach in the Chinese Super League. He has coached teams such as Barcelona, Villarreal, Real Betis, and Las Palmas in La Liga. Beijing Guoan hopes to make progress under this renowned coach. Last season, Guoan finished fourth in the Chinese Super League, a decent result, but the head coach, Suarez, was let go. It is clear that Guoan has bigger ambitions for next season, aiming to compete for the championship. Setien has taken office with three major initiatives! The latest adjustments at Guoan include renewing contracts with six players and releasing five, while Yu Dabao retires. On December 31st, Beijing time, Guoan officially announced that they have completed contract renewals with Zhang Xizhe, Wang Gang, Chi Zhongguo, and Cao Yongjing. By renewing their contracts, Guoan has sent a signal that these players will continue to play for the team in the new season, and they are still counted on by the club. Zhang Xizhe is currently 33 years old and played 21 games last season, scoring 2 goals and providing 6 assists. Despite his age, Zhang's awareness and footwork remain strong, making him the midfield engine of Guoan. His passing ability is a key weapon for Guoan to break through the opponent's defense. Wang Gang plays as a right-back and, at 35, still possesses vitality, running back and forth on the right flank to provide impetus for Guoan. Chi Zhongguo, who is the same age as Wang Gang, is a defensive midfielder known as the "Chinese Kante" in the CSL. Cao Yongjing is…
