Guoan's preparations for the new season have entered the second stage of training. The team is preparing for the new season under the leadership of the new coaching staff headed by Xie Feng. It is understood that except for Guoan’s official signing and Zhang Chengdong , the other signings have not yet arrived, but they have basically made their itinerary.
Judging from reports from authoritative media, Guoan has confirmed that foreign players such as Ade Benluo, Jiang Xiangyou, and Memisevic will join the team. There is a high probability that Shuixi will leave the team. Guoan may also introduce an all-round midfielder. In addition to Zhang Chengdong, Guoan is also in contact with other domestic players. Yang Fan will be loaned to Tianjin. Players in other positions have not changed much. Due to the situation of Chinese Super League in the past two years, and the current situation of Guoan, fans do not have many expectations for the signings in the new season, and they do not have high requirements for performance. Everyone hopes to see the stability of Guoan. Development and growth of young players. But what is the internal goal of the Guoan team? The club management has not made a clear statement so far, and there is no trace from the team's preparations. Last season, Li Ming was interviewed by the media and said that Guoan has entered a period of adjustment rather than reconstruction. It doesn’t really matter what the name is. What is important is that from the perspective of the club’s senior management, the team does need to “adjust”. , that is, the replacement of the old with the new. But as for the replacement of the old and the new, there is currently no obvious signal. In the end, the Mesozoic Barton was not retained, and young Yang Fan also followed Barton. Guoan seems to have set its sights directly on the post-00 generation. But in the positions that Li Lei and Jiang Tao left, Jiang Xiangyou and Zhang Chengdong were added. Although Yang Fan left the central defender position, there are also Yu Yang, Yu Dabao, Jin Pengxiang and Bai. Yang has many local central defenders ahead of Liang Shaowen and Ruan Qilong, and Guoan has also introduced Memisevic. Although he can also play as a defensive midfielder, obviously if he only likes the attribute of guest midfielder, why not How about just buying a defensive midfielder who can serve as a central defender? Among the frontcourt players born in the 2000s, Leng Jixuan, Duan Dezhi, Li Boxi, and Xie Longfei are all young players with high hopes. But with Zhang Yuning and Wang Ziming still around, they may not have many opportunities, let alone There is also foreign aid Ade Benluo. It is true that young players should compete for positions instead of deliberately supporting them. But from the perspective of personnel reserves, there will definitely not be too many opportunities for young players. In terms of the introduction of foreign players, although the few foreign players currently finalized have a certain degree of strength, it is still unknown how strong they will be in driving young players. In the past, veteran foreign players such as Kanoute, Dejan, Batala, and Mazic were of great help to local players, but current foreign players really can't see this in this regard. These foreign players have good resumes. Ade Benro is the golden boot of the Nordic League, Jiang Xiangyou is the South Korean international, and Memisevic has also proven himself in the Super League. However, what is the purpose of Guoan’s introduction of these foreign aids? Fighting for the championship? Obviously it feels unreachable. Competing for the AFC Champions League? It really doesn’t make sense, because entering the AFC Champions League means giving up. To put it bluntly, Guoan’s goal may still be to replace the old with the new, but this goal does not seem to be very clear compared to signings. In the past few years, since Zhonghe took over, every year Guoan’s pre-season meeting has been attended by a row of new players. Nowadays, national security funds are tight, but it still looks like this will be the case. It cannot be said that Jay Chou does not care about Guoan, but it seems that some signings are not very purposeful. This so-called purposefulness, in addition to technical and tactical aspects, also includes the judgment and understanding of the entire team's goals. Chinese football generally likes to set goals for the team, such as defending and competing. What is Guoan's goal? In the past, during the CITIC era, Li Shilin said: National security cannot be guaranteed, so if you want to fight for it, fight for the first place.Hence the slogan " Guoan will always strive to be the first ". Now the slogan has been watered down, which is both a good and a bad thing. The good thing is that we set the goal more clearly. The bad thing is, what is our goal?
