Only 4 points were scored in 5 wins, 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats, which is the league result achieved by Beijing Guoan after the restart of the Chinese Super League. I believe that no Beijing fan will be satisfied with such a result, but this is the real level of the current Guoan team.
After the departure of the top 5 foreign aides, Guoan only brought in an unknown Brazilian high school striker Anderson Silva from the Portuguese Premier League. Although the transfer fee of 2 million euros is not low, the brazilian striker's level is really hard to compliment. After 5 league rounds, Silva scored only 1 goal, and there was a lot of luck in this goal.
Even with a foreign aid, Guoan still can't play the Guangzhou team with the all-Chinese class (with 1 naturalized player), and in the last round of the league, Guoan lost 0-1 to Guangzhou team in the storm.
Due to well-known reasons, the situation of the clubs in the Chinese Super League in the past two seasons has been more difficult, but Beijing Guoan has fallen so fast, or it has surprised many fans. This veteran Chinese Super League giants is currently in a turbulent period of transformation, and there have been many scandals from the club recently.
Recently, it has been rumored that The guoan team's local midfield core Zhang Xizhe and veteran captain Yu Dabao will transfer and leave the team next season. However, the National Security Club quickly debunked the rumors of these two transfers.
For the current Guoan team, in this turbulent season, stability is the most important. So, no matter what changes the team will have next season, at least for now the club must promise that the main players in the team will stay.
In addition, there are still many players in the Guoan team who are about to expire their contracts with the club, and 2 of them are very important for Guoan. They are former international centre-back Yu Yang and current international Barton, who was loaned by Guoan to Tianjin Jinmen Tigers this season.
As the Chinese Super League appeared for the first time in the New Year's Eve schedule this season, although Yu Yang and Barton's contract with Guoan will expire in 4 days, they have not yet completed the renewal of their contract with the club.
According to the relevant staff of Guoan, the club is actively communicating with Yu Yang and Barton, hoping to complete the contract renewal with these 2 players as soon as possible. As Guoan's main centre-back, Yu Yang's importance to the team's backline is self-evident. The 32-year-old veteran is the most stable local player in the Guoan backline in the last two seasons, so the club will definitely do its best to keep him.
The situation is different for Barton, with the 26-year-old current international arguing first and then rising this season. Losing his place in the Guoan team, Barton, who joined Jinmenhu on loan this season, soon became the absolute main force of tianjin and was selected for the national team coached by Li Tie for his outstanding performance in the league.
Due to his outstanding performance in the World Preliminary Round between China and Australia, Barton has become more and more hot today. Therefore, if Guoan wants to keep Barton, he needs to issue a maximum salary contract for him, and must also promise him his main position in the team.
If these 2 points can appear in the contract extension provided by Guoan, then it is believed that Barton will continue to stay in Guoan next season, otherwise the high-quality player from Guoan's youth training may have to say goodbye to Beijing.
Of course, whether Yu Yang and Barton can successfully complete the renewal of their contracts with Guoan depends to a large extent on the attitude of the club's general manager Li Ming. However, it is rumored that Li Ming is not currently in Beijing, but in the Netherlands to accompany his son Li Sirong.
Therefore, the renewal negotiations between Guoan and Yu Yangbadun may be delayed until next year. Here, we also hope that the Guoan Club can retain Yu Yang and Barton and let them help the Guoan team successfully complete this difficult stage of the replacement of the old and the new.
