Today marks the 32nd anniversary of Beijing Guoan, and as we enter a new year, the team is actively reinforcing its ranks in preparation for a higher ranking and aiming to achieve new breakthroughs in the AFC Champions League. To this end, Beijing Guoan has undergone a coaching change during this winter transfer window, with Setien taking over to build a team focused on attacking football, abandoning the defensive counter-attack strategy with two foreign center-backs that was employed under Suarez this year. As a result, the focus has shifted to player acquisitions and departures. In terms of departures, it is likely that 【Engadu】, who was previously rumored to be heading to West Asia, will remain with the team. However, another foreign center-back, 【Mamadou】, is highly likely to leave and become a backup target for Dalian Yingbo. Additionally, 【Duan Dezhi】, who was loaned to Suzhou Dongwu, may continue to be loaned out, while veteran 【Zhang Chengdong】 is expected to leave and join Qingdao West Coast. Midfielder 【Li Ke】 is not expected to leave, with rumors suggesting he might move to Chengdu Rongcheng. The average age of Beijing Guoan's squad in the new season will continue to decrease, with the scale of mid-career players expanding and continuing to play a leading role. The departure of old players and the arrival of new signings are all just rumors at this point. Currently, there are ongoing efforts to naturalize 【Serginho】, who is set to become the team's first new signing and will temporarily join as a foreign player. Whether he can register as a…

Recently, according to the well-known Turkish media kurtulusgazetesi, in order to strengthen their forward line, the veteran powerhouse of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Shandong Taishan, has developed a strong interest in the 32-year-old forward Aboubakar, who is currently playing for Hatayspor in the Turkish Super League. This news quickly fermented in both the CSL and the Turkish Super League, sparking heated discussions among fans and the media. Aboubakar, this Cameroonian international, has long been famous in the football world. His illustrious career includes not only the glory of representing the Cameroon national team in multiple World Cups but also experiences playing for several top European clubs. From the 2010 South Africa World Cup to the 2014 Brazil World Cup, and then the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Aboubakar has always been an important member of the Cameroon team, showcasing the unique speed and strength of African players, as well as his excellent goal-scoring instincts. However, despite his commendable performances on the international stage, Aboubakar's form has shown a noticeable decline in this season's Turkish Super League. As a forward for Hatayspor, Aboubakar had an outstanding performance last season when he was still playing for Besiktas. But this season, he has only scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist in the league, which clearly does not match his value and past performances. As a result, he has received much criticism from Chinese fans and the media, who believe that he has not fully adapted to the team and cannot provide enough help to the team. Despite this, Shandong Taishan still shows…

The winter transfer window is about to open, and many Chinese Super League teams will officially begin their new season's personnel recruitment. On the evening of December 28th, Beijing time, according to a report from the Turkish media kurtulusgazetesi, the veteran Chinese Super League powerhouse Shandong Taishan is interested in signing the 32-year-old forward Vincent Aboubakar. This Cameroonian captain may become Taishan's first signing in the winter window. Turkish media reported that due to his performance not meeting expectations this season, with only 3 goals and 1 assist in 12 league appearances for Hatayspor, the team is very willing to let him go during the winter window. The Chinese Super League club Shandong Taishan has shown interest in the player, and the two teams will soon discuss the transfer. Since Aboubakar's contract is set to expire next summer, Hatayspor is not expected to demand an excessive transfer fee. Born on January 22, 1992, Aboubakar plays as a forward and has previously played for several European powerhouses such as Porto, Besiktas, and Lorient. As the captain of Cameroon, Aboubakar has represented the national team in three World Cups: 2010, 2014, and 2022. In the final round of the group stage at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, it was Aboubakar who scored the winning goal against Brazil in stoppage time, although he was subsequently sent off for celebrating by taking off his shirt. Aboubakar's peak market value reached 18 million euros, and even now his value remains at 2 million euros. As a physically outstanding striker with great impact, he might be…

Currently, in the Chinese Super League (CSL), apart from Shanghai Port's Oscar and Bargos, Shandong Taishan's Crescendo and Leonardo are also quite impressive. However, due to the salary cap policy imposed by the Football Association, both Oscar and Bargos of Shanghai Port have not renewed their contracts and there is a possibility that they may leave the CSL. It will be a challenge for Shanghai Port to find suitable replacements for them next season. Will they still be contenders for the championship trophy? Leonardo was loaned out to Zhejiang team last season by Shandong Taishan. Just how strong is he? After 30 rounds of the CSL, he played in 29 matches, starting every game, scoring 21 goals and providing 5 assists. His statistics speak for themselves! Crescendo, after 30 rounds of the CSL, played in 24 matches for Shandong Taishan (starting 19 times), scoring 11 goals and providing 4 assists. Despite having such a formidable foreign player combination, head coach Choi Kang-hee seems to overlook them, with Leonardo being loaned out to Zhejiang team. At the end of the year, when his contract expires, Leonardo openly expressed his desire to continue playing in a CSL team. Given the current situation at Shandong Taishan, it is estimated that the possibility of Leonardo renewing his contract is small. Where will Leonardo go next? No matter where he goes, we wish him all the best! During the off-season, Shandong Taishan has only seen players leaving without any new signings. It has been reported that defenders Tong Lei and Sun Guowen have joined Zhejiang…

In a recent match of the first stage of the Women's Table Tennis Super League, Shandong Luneng faced off against Shenzhen University. Wang Manyu had previously withdrawn from the first stage of the competition, and on the Shenzhen University side, Sun Yingsha did not participate. Ultimately, Shandong Luneng defeated Shenzhen University with a score of 3-1, with Chen Xingtong scoring two points and Qian Tianyi contributing one point. Shenzhen University managed to secure one point in the doubles match. In the first doubles match, Tan Yuxuan/Kuai Man took control of the key points in the first game with an 11-9 victory, widened the gap in the second game with an 11-5 win, and engaged in a fierce battle in the third game before securing a 15-13 victory. This resulted in a 3-0 win over Fan Siqi/Qian Tianyi, giving Shenzhen University a 1-0 lead. In the second singles match, Chen Xingtong faced Wu Yonglin and swept her opponent with a 3-0 victory, helping Shandong Luneng level the score at 1-1. In the third match, Qian Tianyi faced Kuai Man in an intense battle. Qian Tianyi won the first game 11-8, Kuai Man narrowly took the second game 12-10, but Qian Tianyi responded with a 12-10 victory in the third game and seized the opportunity to win the fourth game 11-7. This allowed Shandong Luneng to take the lead at 2-1. Drawing the home team position, Shandong Luneng had Chen Xingtong play in the fourth match against Tan Yuxuan, the second singles player from Shenzhen University. Chen Xingtong dominated the first game…

Recently, 31-year-old Shandong Luneng captain Liao Lisheng has become a focal point in Chinese football due to rumors linking him with Chengdu Rongcheng. At the time, many pundits believed that Liao's move to Chengdu Rongcheng was a foregone conclusion, making him a hot candidate to leave Luneng. However, in an interview with the media, Liao addressed the question of whether he would transfer to Chengdu Rongcheng. Liao stated that he still has a contract with Shandong Taishan and will make a decision after fulfilling it. According to Transfermarkt, Liao's contract with Taishan is set to expire in 2026, so he is likely to remain with the club. Unless Chengdu Rongcheng is willing to pay a transfer fee in advance, they will not be able to secure Liao's services. Initially, Liao's performance with Taishan was mediocre, drawing criticism from fans. At that time, Shandong fans considered Liao to be a weak link, unable to step up in crucial moments. As a result, he was labeled as a flop. However, when Choi Kang-hee took over as Taishan's head coach, he tailored a tactical system specifically for Liao. The saying "opportunity favors the prepared mind" applies well to Liao's situation. Under Choi's guidance, Liao reached new heights, winning back the trust of many fans. During his Asian Champions League appearances for Taishan, Liao performed exceptionally well, contributing multiple assists. He became Taishan's assist king in the competition, reaching a new peak in his career. Additionally, Liao has the potential to be selected for the national team. Theoretically, if Liao truly has a contract…

Li Xiaopeng's tenure with Cangzhou Mighty Lions is coming to an end, and this contract termination is not related to Li Xiaopeng's own abilities but rather due to financial difficulties faced by Cangzhou Mighty Lions. It is reported that despite being on the debt-clearing list for entry, the team has found players to file complaints, making Li Xiaopeng's departure almost inevitable. After leaving Cangzhou Mighty Lions, where will Li Xiaopeng go next? Many fans hope that Li Xiaopeng can return to Shandong Luneng, where he once delivered impressive results. Additionally, there is currently a dispute between Shandong Luneng and Cuikexing, and if Shandong Luneng were to forcibly terminate Cuikexing's contract, they would need to pay a substantial amount in compensation. After paying Cuikexing, they might not have enough funds to cover the salary of a new coach. At this point, choosing a domestic coach seems like a good option, and if selecting a domestic coach, Li Xiaopeng is undoubtedly a great choice. He is familiar with the situation in Shandong football, has sufficient coaching experience, and most importantly, his salary is not high. Can Li Xiaopeng return to Shandong Luneng? Perhaps many Shandong Luneng fans scoff at Li Xiaopeng, but he is actually quite sought after during the off-season. For example, Taishan Team News announced Li Xiaopeng's destination. While fans are still focused on whether Li Xiaopeng will return to Shandong Luneng, another team from Shandong has already made a move, which is Shandong Qingdao West Coast Men's Football Team. According to the report from Taishan Team News, Li Xiaopeng…

This winter break is not only an opportunity for Shandong Taishan to adjust their tactical system and enhance team cohesion, but also a crucial period for in-depth optimization of the squad and laying a solid foundation for future seasons. The team management has reached a consensus that in this transfer window filled with uncertainties, Shandong Taishan needs to reshuffle its current lineup. Up to now, Shandong Taishan has basically confirmed that six tough players will leave the team, such a big change undoubtedly brings new challenges and opportunities to the team. Firstly, midfielder Liao LiSheng is basically determined to leave the team. His departure undoubtedly had a significant impact on Shandong Taishan's midfield setup. As a former Guangzhou Evergrande midfield powerhouse, Liao LiSheng, after joining Taishan, although he did not fully play out his level at Evergrande, his rich match experience and excellent passing ability still contributed many highlights to the team. However, due to the failure to reach an agreement on renewal matters, Liao LiSheng finally chose to join Chengdu Rongcheng, which would undoubtedly weaken the control of Taishan's midfield. The second player to leave is right-back Tong Lei. Tong Lei's departure also made Taishan fans feel sorry. As a national-level full-back cultivated by the Chinese Super League in recent years, Tong Lei is known for his outstanding running ability and precise passing on the field, and is an important part of the team's defensive counterattack. However, with his old club Zhejiang FC throwing him an olive branch and successfully persuading him to return, Tong Lei's departure became an…

On December 27th, Beijing time, before the final battle of the Ping Pong Super League, Sun Yingsha made an extremely brilliant decision, which can be said to be a three-fold win, giving her more confidence in defeating Wang Manyu and Luneng to win the championship. The finals of the Ping Pong Super League are about to officially arrive. Unexpectedly, after the semi-finals, Shenzhen University and Shandong Luneng should be able to meet at the top in the finals. However, in terms of hard strength, Shandong Luneng is indeed much stronger than Shenzhen University, which can be seen from the year-end world ranking of the national table tennis team. In this year's 2024 annual year-end world ranking, except for Chen Meng who did not participate in the Ping Pong Super League, a total of 5 people from the Chinese national table tennis team entered the top 12. Wang Yidi has been eliminated, Sun Yingsha belongs to Shenzhen University, and the remaining three people are all huddled together in Shandong Luneng, which has already shown a clear gap in strength. Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi are the ace women's doubles combination of the national team, plus Wang Manyu playing singles, which is definitely much stronger than Shenzhen University with Sun Yingsha in charge. Shenzhen University is almost all young people, so it is called the Shenzhen University kindergarten. In this case, Sun Yingsha made a major decision that could increase the chances of winning the championship, which can be said to be a three-fold win. She brought two younger teammates and little…

Recently, in order to test the results of their winter training, Beijing Guoan arranged an internal teaching match. They played against Shandong Luneng's youth team, with a notable condition that Guoan would play with one less player to ensure the quality of the friendly match. In other words, Guoan played the entire game with ten men against eleven, yet they still managed to showcase a multi-flourishing offensive trend and ultimately triumphed with a 4-0 victory. The result of Guoan's 4-0 victory over Luneng's youth team did not come as a surprise to fans. After all, Guoan's overall strength is more than just a level above Luneng's youth team. What delighted Guoan fans the most was the breakout performance of Yan Yu, who scored twice in the match, demonstrating his remarkable form. Yan Yu is a standout from Guoan's post-02 youth training program, alongside Liang Shaowen and Ruan Qilong. However, when Yan Yu first joined Guoan's youth ranks, his overall performance was quite average. As a result, he did not get the chance to participate in the AFC Champions League with Guoan's youth team. Fortunately, Yan Yu did not give up on his professional career. Instead, he continued to strive to prove himself in training. Later, when representing Guoan's youth team in the U21 league, he had a significant breakthrough. Yan Yu performed exceptionally well in the matches, earning him the title of top scorer in the event. This led to Yan Yu being promoted to Guoan's first team and gaining the opportunity to play in the Chinese Super League. However,…
