Since all five of the team's foreign aides were released from the team last season, Beijing Guoan Club began recruiting immediately after the end of last season.
After the return of meritorious coach Xie Feng, a player transfer was quickly finalized - veteran Zhang Chengdong joined the Guoan team for the second time at 0 value.
With the return of Zhang Chengdong, the position of Guoan right-back has more immediate combat power, but the age of 33 years and years of old injuries make it unlikely that Zhang Chengdong will become the main force of the team today. Therefore, the national security team's defender line also needs to continue to be further strengthened by reinforcements.
At present, another young right-back player has entered the Guoan team's reinforcement list, he is the right-back Tong Lei, who is currently playing for Dalian.
Although Dalian has been relegated to the Middle Division at the end of last season, the club has announced that the team will regroup in the near future to start full-team training.
However, this dalian team training will have a number of players absent, three foreign aides Larson, Danielson and Boateng will not return to the team this month, Dalian can make up for the Chinese Super League next season, will largely determine the three foreign aides to stay.
In addition, Tong Lei will not return to the team in the near future, because he is currently training with the national team in Shanghai. As one of the few internationals in the Dalian team, Tong Lei's strength is beyond doubt, whether Dalian stays in the Chinese Super League or plays in the Chinese First Division next season, the club needs players like Tong Lei to help the team achieve good results.
But now Tong Lei has become a "big fish" in the Transfer Market of the Chinese Super League, and many teams hope to introduce the international player who is in the current year, and Beijing Guoan is undoubtedly the Chinese Super League club that is most likely to get Tong Lei.
As we all know, the relationship between Tong Lei and Li Ming, the general manager of the Guoan Club, is extraordinary, and when coaching the national youth team, Tong Lei is one of Li Ming's most proud disciples.
In the 2019 season, the Guoan team was once very close to bringing in Tong Lei, but they were taken by Dalian Yifang. To this end, the club also gave the team's top scorer Mushekwi to Zhejiang Greentown for free, and the Zimbabwean striker also became the key figure who helped Zhejiang team to succeed last season.
Now that Dalian has been relegated to the Chinese First Division, it is difficult to say whether they can return to the Chinese Super League next season. But even if we can return to the Chinese Super League, with the current strength of Dalian, it is difficult to succeed in relegation next season.
Therefore, for Tong Lei, who is in the year of playing, instead of mixing in the Dalian team, it is better to play his own piece of the sky in other more pursuing teams.
Although, some time ago, the club's general manager Li Ming said in the live broadcast that Guoan did not intend to introduce Tong Lei for the time being. But everyone knows that after the return of a group of guoan old people such as Xie Feng, Zhai Biao and Cao Zhidong, Li Ming's real power in the club has been greatly reduced, and coach Xie Feng will dominate the reinforcement problem of guoan.
Some people may say that now Guoan has Wang Gang and Zhang Chengdong, and there is no shortage of right-back players. But both of them are now 33 years old, and they are both players who rely on their bodies to eat, and the accumulation of years of old injuries has reduced their physical function, making it difficult for them to play the whole season. Moreover, Zhang Chengdong can also kick the position of the back, and there will be no great conflict with the position of Tong Lei.
Therefore, now Guoan's way to introduce Tong Lei is not completely blocked, as long as it can provide a reasonable transfer offer to Dalian Renren Club and negotiate salary conditions with Tong Lei, the introduction of the 25-year-old active international is not as difficult as imagined, right?
