As a top team in the world of football, the French national team has always been a focus of attention. However, a rather unexpected event has recently occurred: the head coach of the French team, Didier Deschamps, has announced his resignation. This sudden announcement by Deschamps came as a surprise to many, especially after he was not able to lead the French team to victory in the World Cup and European Championship. Despite this, the French Football Federation chose to renew his contract and give him another chance. It now appears that Deschamps, under pressure, has made the decision to step down. Fans who have followed the internal drama within the French team will know that Deschamps had a fierce conflict with Kylian Mbappé. In previous training rosters for the French team, Deschamps did not include Mbappé in two consecutive lists. This led to Mbappé expressing his dissatisfaction publicly and openly falling out with Deschamps. He stated that if Deschamps were to continue coaching, he would not return to play for the French national team. The French Football Federation found themselves at a loss, unable to find a good solution to resolve the conflict between the two. With Deschamps' departure, it seems that Mbappé's strategy has succeeded, and the French team will now be looking for a new coach. Zinedine Zidane is naturally the frontrunner for the position, as he has been resting at home and waiting for the opportunity to take over the French team. This time, Mbappé also supports him taking over the French team. Together, they will…

The latest training roster for the national football team has surprised fans as two key players, Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai, have been left out due to injuries. However, the emergence of eight young newcomers has caught everyone's attention, suggesting that coach Ivan is keen on testing these fresh faces ahead of two tough matches in March. The changes in the training roster are significant, with Liu Dianzuo, Jiang Guangtai, and Wu Lei all missing from the list. Wu Lei's injury appears to be quite serious, as it is reported that he will need a long period of rest before he can return to training and competition. The competition for the goalkeeper position has always been fierce, so Liu Dianzuo's omission was somewhat expected. Wang Dalei has consistently shown good form, and other young goalkeepers have also performed well. Jiang Guangtai's absence is indeed concerning, as he plays a crucial role in the defense, especially against physically strong opponents. We hope he recovers quickly. The eight newly selected players are all young, with Jian Tao and Han Pengfei performing well in the league. Young talents like Wu Mitijiang and Mai Ulang, both only 20 years old, have also been included, indicating that the coaching staff is seriously considering the future. The average age of this squad is just over 26, with Wang Dalei being the exception among a group of post-90s and post-00s players, making it one of the youngest national teams in recent years. With more young players, there is undoubtedly an advantage in terms of physical fitness and…

On January 8th, according to the latest news from L'Équipe, a French authoritative media outlet, 56-year-old Didier Deschamps will officially announce today that he will no longer serve as the head coach of the French national team after the 2026 World Cup, ending his 13-year tenure with the French team. In the 2024 European Championship, France performed poorly, losing to Spain in the semi-finals and failing to reach the final. At that time, many French fans questioned Deschamps. However, the French Football Federation stood firm in their support for Deschamps and allowed him to continue coaching until the end of the 2026 World Cup. Deschamps' contract with the French Football Federation is set to expire in 2026. L'Équipe reported that Deschamps has made his decision and will leave after leading the team through the 2026 World Cup, without renewing his contract with the federation. He had already decided months ago and will formally announce this message today. In 2012, Deschamps was appointed as the head coach of the French national team. Since then, he has led the team to win the 2018 World Cup and the 2021 UEFA Nations League titles. Additionally, Deschamps guided the team to the finals of the 2016 European Championship and the 2022 World Cup. Years of coaching have taken a toll on Deschamps, both physically and mentally, and he longs for more time to spend with his family. Regardless of how France performs in next year's World Cup, Deschamps will step down. As a player, Deschamps was a hero for the French team, helping them…

China's Ice and Snow Projects: "Cold but Not Forgotten" What force has turned bobsleigh, a project that many have never even heard of, into a source of national pride for China? At the 2024-2025 International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation World Cup in Winterberg, Germany, the Chinese team not only won the gold medal but also stood on both podiums, stunning the world! This is a project that was previously unknown to many sports fans, yet two Chinese teams have used their historic achievements to "wake it up." The story behind this is a combination of personal struggle by the athletes, miraculous operations in the country's sports strategy, and the hidden "trump card" of cross-border talent selection. Next, let's uncover the true face of this "ridiculous victory" together. Bobsleigh World Cup sounds a bit aloof and isn't a hot event, but in this year's Winterberg match, every second was a moment of excitement. At the competition site, the Chinese pair of Zhao Dan and Lin Qianwei performed like a textbook. The two partners staged a god-level performance, cleanly taking the gold medal with a time of 2 minutes and 0.87 seconds, directly putting the Five-star Red Flag at the center of the podium. This gold medal is not only the first time the Chinese team has won the championship in this event, but it is also the best reward for the hard training of the past few years. During the competition, Zhao Dan took the field with a momentum like breaking bamboo, completing the first leg with an excellent result of…

Shuffling Continues! The first departure in 2025 is officially announced, sidelining Choi Kang-hee, and the World Cup captain lands at Mount Tai. Why did Pato leave? How was Choi Kang-hee "sidelined"? With the addition of the World Cup captain, can this Shandong Taishan team return to its former glory? At the beginning of 2025, Shandong Taishan has been exposed to big news one after another. First, Pato announced his departure, then the power of head coach Choi Kang-hee was weakened, and the addition of World Cup star Aboubakar reignited fans' hopes. On one side is the team's reorganization drama, and on the other side is the management game behind it. Taishan's winter looks more exciting than the matches. At the beginning of 2025, Pato released a retirement statement through his personal Weibo, thanking the club and fans in the article, but it can be seen from the lines that this journey was not smooth. This superstar who once dominated the European arena has been lukewarm since joining Taishan, far from meeting external expectations. Pato's departure is actually not surprising. Data doesn't lie: throughout the 2024 season, his goal count was meager, and he often disappeared in key moments. Even though his personal ability is still there, he never integrated into Taishan's tactical system. He is a technical player who needs the whole team to revolve around him, but Taishan's past tactical core was obviously not like this. Some say this is a problem of "incompatibility"; others think that Taishan relies too much on foreign aid without considering the players' personalities…

On the evening of January 6th, Beijing time, according to reports from well-known transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, 48-year-old Dutch football legend Patrick Kluivert will replace the recently dismissed South Korean coach Shin Tae-yong as the new head coach of the Indonesian men's national football team. The two parties will sign a contract with a term of 2 years, plus an option to extend for another 2 years. Kluivet's primary goal upon taking office is to lead the team to surpass the Chinese men's national team in order to secure one of the top four spots in the group and qualify for the World Cup. The unveiling ceremony for Kluivert will be held in Indonesia on January 12th. The 48-year-old Kluivert was one of the best strikers in the football world during his playing career, having played for clubs such as Ajax, AC Milan, Barcelona, and Newcastle. After retiring, his coaching career has not been particularly remarkable. He has served as an assistant coach for Cameroon, an interim head coach for Curacao, and his only formal head coaching experience was with Turkish club Demir Grup Sivasspor starting in July 2023, where he managed 20 games with 8 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses before being dismissed after 5 months. The reason why the Indonesian Football Association chose Kluivert may have a lot to do with the many naturalized players of Dutch origin within the team. Being Dutch himself, he undoubtedly understands how to leverage the characteristics of these players who play in the Eredivisie. After six rounds of the 18-team Group…

Football is a game that evokes both love and hatred. A few days ago, I saw that the Football Association announced the new training list for the U20 national team. These young players are about to play in the Asian Cup at home, and honestly, this lineup looks quite interesting, unlike before when it was hard to get excited. This U20 national youth team gives people the first impression of being different. Shandong Taishan contributed seven players. These children grew up in a professional youth training system and climbed step by step with the team. Now some of them have already made their mark in the Chinese Super League. Zhu Pengyu and Mao Weijie from Dalian are also two interesting kids. They worked hard in the China League One last year, helping the team advance to the Super League. This practical experience is definitely a good thing for the national team. Wang Yudong's performance at Zhejiang team is also quite surprising. At a young age, he has played in the Chinese Super League and AFC Champions League. Such big-stage experiences are really important for a young player. Du Yuezheng is also doing well abroad. He can get substitute playing opportunities in top teams like Atletico Madrid, which shows that he indeed has some skills. Speaking of the U20 Asian Cup, the biggest advantage is playing at home. The players don't need to adjust to time differences or worry about acclimatization issues. However, to be honest, there is also pressure in playing at home. Fans' expectations will definitely be high, after…

Here it is! Serginho arrives in Beijing with his family, reveals the progress of naturalization, and boasts about taking the national team to the World Cup Serginho has recently become quite popular. As soon as he arrived in Beijing, he was surrounded by reporters asking questions. Everyone wants to know what changes this player, who is about to be naturalized, can bring to Chinese football, especially since the national team is currently in great need of help. The first thing Serginho did upon returning to Beijing was to handle the naturalization procedures. He told reporters that he particularly wants to get a Chinese passport as soon as possible so that he can participate in important national team matches. He thinks that the current national team's tactics are too conservative, always playing with five defenders, which is boring to watch. Last September, he watched the national team's match against Saudi Arabia in Dalian. That match really made him shake his head. Despite having more players and scoring a goal, they ended up conceding two goals, which was frustrating to watch. He believes that the national team should change its tactics and not always retreat to defend. They should dare to push forward and play more offensively. However, whether these ideas can be realized depends on what the head coach, Ivan, thinks. Nowadays, the cost of naturalization is much lower than before. Unlike the past when it could cost several hundred million yuan, this time the amount spent may not even be as much as his annual salary, which significantly reduces the…

Here it is! Serginho arrives in Beijing with his family, reveals the progress of naturalization, and boasts of leading the national football team to the World Cup Time has come to the year 2025, and the training camps for various clubs and the national team are about to begin. Foreign players from each team are gradually returning to China. Beijing Guo'an is set to head to Hainan for training, and the highly anticipated new recruit Serginho, who is currently undergoing the process of naturalization, has finally returned to China and arrived in Beijing. Serginho will also make an appearance at Guo'an's first phase of training in Hainan, and his addition has turned Guo'an into a strong contender for the new season's CSL championship title, potentially becoming the savior of the national team. After arriving in Beijing, Serginho accepted an interview with domestic media, discussing the details of joining Guo'an and his situation regarding playing for the national team. Upon joining Guo'an, Serginho's favorite number is 10, but he may have to wear the number 7 jersey since number 10 is already taken by Zhang Xizhe, who recently renewed his contract. Serginho doesn't have a deep understanding of Guo'an's current state; he only knows that Guo'an is a traditional team with a very good fan base. However, head coach Setien has just joined the team, and Serginho is not yet clear about the team's future tactical approach or training conditions. When talking about the naturalization process, Serginho eagerly wants to obtain his passport as soon as possible to officially represent the…

The latest training roster for the national football team has caught people's attention not only because the average age has dropped to just over 26 years old, but also because there are more new faces. Looking at these young players with their energetic demeanor, one can't help but recall the fighting spirit of the national team when they qualified for the World Cup in the past. The injuries to Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai came as a surprise, and the absence of these two key players has had a significant impact on the team. However, from another perspective, this also provides younger players with more opportunities to prove themselves. Among the eight new additions to the training roster, each player has their own unique characteristics and highlights. For example, Jian Tao's speed and breakthrough ability, Han Pengfei's defensive awareness, and the technical skills of the two post-00s players, Wu Mitijiang and Maiwulong. As the only player born in the 80s, Wang Dalei's status and role within the team have become even more important. He not only needs to command the defense on the field but also lead these young players to grow rapidly off the field. The competition for the goalkeeper position is exceptionally fierce. Besides Wang Dalei, the other young goalkeepers have performed well in the league, and this healthy competition is very helpful in improving the overall strength. Ivan's tactical approach is quite in line with the current characteristics of the national team, as the team is in a stage of transition between old and new players, requiring…
