Dalian Yiben has added another strong local player, who is considered better than Liao Li Sheng, and with good performance, there's a chance to enter the national team! After Dalian Yiben outperformed Guangzhou FC to be promoted to the Chinese Super League (CSL), they began to actively recruit new players, not only focusing on foreign players but also striving for excellence in domestic signings. In terms of foreign players, Kalanga was already quite impressive, and during the winter transfer window, they successfully signed former Shanghai Shenhua player Malele and former Beijing Guoan player Mamadou. These two additions have significantly enhanced the team's overall strength. Having good foreign players is essential, but so are strong domestic players. As the saying goes, "He who controls the midfield controls the world," and a team that wants to achieve something in the league must first strengthen its midfield dominance. The midfield is the hub of a team's attack and defense, capable of both offense and defense. Dalian Yiben only had one foreign midfielder, Labu Yade, and veteran Wang Xuanhong retired. Therefore, Dalian Yiben has been looking for a good domestic midfielder. They certainly have requirements for this midfielder: they need to be strong in ability and have an advantage in age. The dissolved Guangzhou FC's midfielder, Liao Jintao, has come into Dalian Yiben's view. Liao Jintao is only 24 years old and comes from Evergrande Football School, where he stands out among his peers. Liao Jintao has played in professional leagues representing Guangzhou FC, Wuhan Three Towns, and Kunshan FC, helping Kunshan FC win…

Wuhan Three Towns Win Three Consecutive Games! Trial Players Perform Strongly, Dai Weijun May Stay at Shanghai Shenhua as a Substitute! Yunnan Yulong Officially Announces the Joining of Four Players During the league entry process, several national-level players left Wuhan Three Towns as free agents, causing concerns among fans about the team's prospects for the new season. However, it seems that the team's overall strength has not diminished but rather increased, ensuring at least a safe position in the league for the upcoming season! The club continues to choose Felipe Martins to lead the team, completely rebuilding the tactical system. Wuhan Three Towns hopes that the coaching experience and football philosophy of the foreign coach will help the team further improve its technical and tactical level. Wuhan Three Towns have won three consecutive games! The team, currently undergoing winter training in Jiangmen, has completed three warm-up matches against Guizhou Zhucheng Athletic Team, Foshan Nan Shi Team, and Shenzhen Youth Team. According to Hubei Daily on January 19th, Wuhan Three Towns recently achieved consecutive victories in friendly matches, with trial players such as Zheng Kaimu, Shao Pu Liang, Chen Zhechao, and Wang Jin Xian all getting playing opportunities. The team is on track, and they will announce the joining of new domestic and foreign players one by one. Shanghai Shenhua is currently in Haikou for winter training.

Recently, an important news has emerged in the Chinese Super League (CSL), as Korean central defender and star player Park Ji-soo of Wuhan Three Towns has officially returned to the team for winter training. This news not only delighted the fans of Wuhan Three Towns but also laid a significant foundation for the team's defensive lineup in the new season. Prior to this, there had been much speculation about Park Ji-soo's future. With Wuhan Three Towns facing severe wage arrears, many believed that this capable central defender might choose to leave. Some media even reported that he could potentially join Shanghai Shenhua, which caused concern among many fans. However, according to data from Transfermarkt, Park Ji-soo still has one year left on his contract with Wuhan Three Towns, and his return is essentially fulfilling his existing contractual obligations. Reflecting on Park Ji-soo's joining process with Wuhan Three Towns, it is evident that the club highly values this South Korean international. To attract Park Ji-soo, Wuhan Three Towns offered him a top salary contract of 1.5 million euros after tax, which was quite competitive at the time in the CSL. This investment paid off as Park Ji-soo quickly demonstrated his abilities and value after joining the team. In last season's matches, Park Ji-soo became the undisputed pillar of Wuhan Three Towns' defense. Whenever the team's defense faced danger, he could always rely on his rich experience and excellent defensive awareness to defuse crises. It was under his steadfastness that Wuhan Three Towns' defense appeared particularly solid, ultimately helping the team secure…

It's been a while, but the Chinese Super League (CSL) has once again acquired a top European international player, bringing new hope to the league on the eve of the establishment of the China Football Association Professional League (CFA PL). Dalian Yiben, newly promoted to the CSL, has confirmed the signing of Alemi, the current absolute starting midfielder for North Macedonia. This is another rare European national team star for Chinese football, and he can be considered the next Stanicu for the CSL! In his last four UEFA Nations League matches, Alemi started and played the full game, helping North Macedonia achieve four consecutive victories. In particular, against Armenia, he contributed one assist and one goal, creating two goals alone, with five statistics ranking first in the game, earning him the title of best player for that match. He is indeed a core-level midfielder for this North Macedonian team. Furthermore, among all players in the current UEFA Nations League season, his tackles, successful ground challenges, and number of fouls received rank first among all North Macedonian players, surpassing many top European stars. His form and abilities are truly rare and valuable among current CSL foreign players. The CSL has not often managed to bring in active European national team stars, especially midfield core-level foreigners, which were more common during the golden age of CSL football. Back then, players like Witsel and Carrasco were household names as world-class stars, and their impact was evident. In the post-golden age of football, it is indeed rare and remarkable to be able to attract…

Currently, most teams in the Chinese Super League are actively recruiting new players. Big clubs like Shanghai Port, Shanghai Shenhua, and Beijing Guoan have made significant moves. Even Meizhou Hakka, who successfully replaced a relegated team, have basically secured a Champions League-level defender, Faye. At the same time, there is a team - Wuhan Three Towns that has been urgently lacking a tall foreign center forward since the second half of last season, but they have not strengthened their squad until now. However, there is news that Wuhan Three Towns should have already identified their new foreign aid. According to Portuguese media reports, Gabriel Barbosa, the top scorer in the Portuguese League this season from Penafiel, has received offers from several Chinese Super League teams. The information shows that Barbosa was produced by the Palmeiras youth training system in Brazil and debuted for the Brazilian team Spal U19. This season, Barbosa played 16 times for Penafiel, scoring 7 goals with an average playing time of 66 minutes per game. Considering that the level of the Portuguese League may be close to the Chinese Super League, he should be able to adapt to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League. This Barbosa shares similar characteristics with previous Wuhan Three Towns foreign players such as Marcon and Enrique, all being tall center forwards. The information shows that Gabriel Barbosa is currently 25 years old, 1.95 meters tall, weighs 88 kilograms, has a market value of 400,000 euros, and has scored 17 goals in 49 games for Penafiel. It can be seen that…

On January 11th, Beijing time, the Chinese Super League team Wuhan Three Towns, which is preparing for the new season, played a friendly match against the China League Two team Guizhou Zhucheng Athletic Team. The purpose of this friendly match for Wuhan Three Towns was to evaluate the abilities of young players and trial players. Additionally, since the opponent, Guizhou Zhucheng Athletic Team, had no foreign players, Wuhan Three Towns fielded an all-Chinese lineup consisting entirely of U-21 players and trial players for a full-Chinese contest. The match ended with a 1-0 victory for Wuhan Three Towns. The goal was scored by Tan Jiaye, who was loaned to Haikou Mingcheng Team last season by Wuhan Three Towns. The assist was provided by Wuhan Three Towns' U-21 player Zou Zhenxiang. After Wuhan Three Towns successfully won this friendly match, what the fans were most concerned about was not the result of the game but the well-known player Tang Shi who came to the team for trials. As a native of Hubei, Tang Shi returned to his hometown to participate in trials with the Chinese Super League team Wuhan Three Towns. His performance on the field also attracted the attention of Wuhan Three Towns fans. Although Tang Shi made an appearance in the game, he did not complete any assists or score any goals. Born in 1995, Tang Shi is no stranger to Wuhan fans, nor is he unfamiliar to Shandong fans. As one of the twin stars of Luneng's youth training in the 95 age group, he and Wei Shihao are…

The Chinese Super League teams have already begun preparations for the new season, with Shanghai Port, last season's double champion, also reconvening for winter training. For Shanghai Port, the task of strengthening the team during this offseason is quite arduous, especially as they have lost two key foreign players, Oscar and Balagas, which has had a significant impact on their overall strength. Therefore, reinforcing the foreign player lineup is of utmost importance. In addition to this offseason, Shanghai Port also attaches great importance to the reinforcement of domestic players. Due to the older age of the team's local main players, the team urgently needs to inject fresh blood. Recently, Shanghai Port has received good news in terms of domestic player reinforcements. According to informed sources, Shanghai Port has locked down 23-year-old forward national team player Tao Qianglong, who will become a member of Shanghai Port in the new season. Tao Qianglong's joining can help enhance the team's offensive capabilities and also alleviate some of the pressure on Wu Lei. Tao Qianglong can be considered a young prodigy, having made his debut in the Chinese Super League at the age of 17. He possesses excellent speed and dribbling ability, which was quite impressive when he first appeared. He was once hailed as the future star of Chinese football. However, early fame also brought him immense pressure, causing his growth trajectory to not fully meet external expectations. His development has not yet reached its potential, but despite this, Tao Qianglong remains one of the outstanding players among domestic players of the same…

Hello everyone! I'm Huang Qiang, talking about sports with a twist. Today, let's discuss the topic of Wuhan Three Towns inviting a world-renowned coach to lead their team. "In the world of football, there are no eternal kings, only brave souls who constantly challenge themselves." This saying applies equally to the world of football coaching. Why is this so? The past two years have been tough for Wuhan Three Towns. The previous owner was unwilling to invest, often relying on official support. The same is true this year. Although they managed to secure entry, the team doesn't have much money. They want to improve their performance but find it difficult to retain good players. As a result, they can only invite a renowned coach to take the helm. Who is he? Recently, Wuhan Three Towns Football Club announced an eye-catching piece of news: 46-year-old Portuguese coach Felipe Martins will become the new head coach of the team, marking his first coaching stint abroad. The announcement immediately sparked heated discussions and debates among fans. Why is this the case? Some people expect him to lead the team to glory, while others worry whether he can adapt to the unique style and rhythm of the Chinese Super League. After all, he has no knowledge of the Chinese Super League. Even if he has performed well in other teams, adapting to a new environment requires time. So, can Felipe Martins really stir up a "Portuguese storm" in the Chinese Super League? This coaching change actually hides many stories. Last season, under the leadership…

The Chinese Super League and China League One teams are scrambling to strengthen their squads through transfers, with limited time for team cohesion! On January 10th, data from Transfermarkt showed that Elche midfielder Christian Salvador has joined Tianjin Jinmen Tiger for a transfer fee of 250,000 euros. The player was born on November 20, 1994, is currently 30 years old, stands at 1.84 meters tall, and plays as a midfielder. He previously played for Zamora, Celta Vigo, Sporting Gijon, Huesca, and Elche, making a total of 34 appearances in the Spanish second division. On January 10th, Shenzhen New Pengcheng officially announced the signing of 35-year-old veteran Jiang Zhipeng. Born in Qingdao and standing at 1.78 meters tall, Jiang can play multiple positions including full-back and wing-back, and is a product of the Shanghai Genbao Academy. In the 2024 season, he made 23 appearances for Wuhan Three Towns, contributing 2 goals and 4 assists. On the national team front, Jiang has participated in international events such as the World Cup qualifiers, Asian Cup, and China Cup, demonstrating rich experience in major competitions and stable competitive form with positive contributions on both offense and defense. Jiang Zhipeng has previously played for Nanchang Hengyuan, Shanghai Shenxin, Guangzhou R&F, Hebei China Fortune, Shenzhen Jianye, and Wuhan Three Towns. Some fans jokingly refer to Jiang as the "walking god of death," as all four teams he has played for have disbanded, with Wuhan Three Towns almost following suit. "Wuhan Three Towns managed to break the curse of Jiang Zhipeng's disbandment." Of course, given the current…

Translation of the article content into English: On January 10th, Beijing time, new news came from the Chinese Super League transfer market. Shenzhen New Pengcheng officially announced that the team has signed Jiang Zhipeng from Wuhan Sanzhen. This former international is an excellent left-back and was still a key player for Sanzhen despite his age. It is a pity that Sanzhen lost Jiang Zhipeng. Looking at the player turnover at Sanzhen, quite a few players have left the team during the winter window. With Jiang Zhipeng's transfer, 9 players have left Sanzhen in the winter window! Rongcheng and Zhejiang took advantage: each signing one national team player. Jiang Zhipeng played 23 times for Sanzhen last season, scoring 2 goals and providing 4 assists. Sometimes he could single-handedly support the left flank attack for Sanzhen, and his offensive attributes were important to Sanzhen. At 35 years old, Jiang Zhipeng still has the ability to compete. He returned to Shenzhen and became a New Pengcheng player, helping New Pengcheng complete relegation in the new season. Sanzhen had won four championships in three years during its glorious period, but due to economic problems, the team had to cut back on investment, leading to a decline in overall strength. Last season, they only ranked 11th in the Chinese Super League and faced survival issues, barely passing the FA entry requirements. Before the start of the new season, nine players have already bid farewell to Sanzhen, facing a major reshuffle of the squad. Like Jiang Zhipeng, Zhang Xiaobin, a midfielder from Sanzhen, also went to…
