Today, guoan officials announced the joining of three new foreign aides, namely Adebenro, Jiang Xiangyou and Dabro. Later, the German transfer also announced that Memikovic would join Guoan on loan. In one breath, the four foreign aides listened.
Prior to this, Guoan also officially announced the renewal of the contracts of 17 young players in the reserve team and the return of internal support Zhang Chengdong. Obviously, the new season of Guoan has many new elements that are different from last year. This also makes fans look forward to the performance of Guoan in the new season. As a result, many fans are looking forward to what kind of lineup and playing style Guoan will appear in the Chinese Super League in the new season. In terms of the positions of several new signings, Adebenro and Dabro are frontcourt players, Jiang Xiangyou and Memikovic are backcourt players, and Zhang Chengdong is also a backcourt player, so Guoan's front and backcourt have been strengthened. In the front line, Guoan already has Zhang Yuning and Wang Ziming, two national name playing center, although Barton did not retain, but there is also cao Yongjing, a winger who performed well in the last few games of last season. With the addition of Adebenro and Dabro, two foreign forwards with different characteristics, Guoan already has enough candidates to use two or three forwards in the front line.
In terms of staffing, Guoan is less likely to use a single forward formation. Zhang Yuning or Wang Ziming in the center, Dabro and Adebenro looking for opportunities on both wings, coupled with Cao Yongjing's breakthrough and impact, the three forwards may be the best choice to maximize the combination of Guoan's current forward personnel. The addition of Memikovic and Zhang Chengdong is an increase in guoan's ability to fight in the midfield. In offseason training, Zhang Chengdong appeared more in the position of the back, but Memikovic may occupy this position after joining. Either of them, it's their responsibility to play defensive hand-to-hand combat in midfield to make up for Guoan's lack of defensive back-up capabilities over the past few years. Due to the failure of the introduction of the Portuguese midfield, Jang Seung-chul and Park Sung are still the most critical figures in the smooth transmission of the Guoan midfield. But because of Park Sung's injury and age, it is unlikely that he will continue to be the main player. Zhang Xizhe is also China's best player in the organizational midfield position, he is also the representative of Guoan's current technical football, Guoan's midfield organization and combing is none other than him.
Gao Providence was considered Guoan's biggest discovery last season, and he later entered the national team to participate in the round of 12. But in the new season, Gao Tianyi lost the protection of the U23 policy, which means that he has to compete with Park Sung, Ji Zhongguo, Hou Yongyong and Li Ke. If Hou Yongyong and Li Ke's injuries can be recovered, Gao Tianyi's competitive advantage is not great. However, it is still impossible to predict the injury of the two pedigree players, if only compared with Park Sung and Ji Zhongguo, Gao Tianyi at least has the advantage of physical confrontation, and he also has the opportunity to enter the main lineup. If Memikovic plays as a back, Zhang Chengdong may also rotate with Wang Gang to play right-back, both of whom are wingers and play full-backs, both of whom have good physical fitness and impact. Although they are no longer at the peak of their state, they still have their own advantages over the past substitute Jiang Tao. After Li Lei left, the left side player introduced by Guoan was South Korean player Kang Sang-woo. However, Jiang Xiangyou's assist ability is significantly stronger than that of defense, and the outside world has commented that he is more suitable for playing wing-backs under the three-centre-back system. But in any case, after Li Lei left, whether it was the left-back of the four-back or the left wing-back of the three center-backs, Kim Tae-yeon and Liu Huan could not compete with the South Korean international. In fact, the biggest suspense of Guoan's new season is in the center-back position. Originally, Yu Yang, as the captain of the team, deserved to have a main position. But Yu Yang recovered less than ideally after surgery on his knee injury at the end of last season. The entire preparation period is also practice stop-and-go, which may affect his state. Yu Dabao's playing center back has always been controversial, and after the national team, he was transformed back into a striker, and as a result, he was hit by the "football hooligans" in the internet, and the state and mentality were also problematic. After Yang Fan left the team, Guoan still had Liu Huan, Jin Pengxiang and Bai Yang three available center-backs, but to be honest, even Guoan fans themselves are difficult to choose from the three to let who to go on. Relatively speaking, Liu Huan's opportunities may be more. After that, there are two national youth center-backs, Liang Shaowen and Ruan Qilong. Judging from the last few games of last season, Ruan Qilong, who dared to fight, performed better than Liang Shaowen, and as long as "China Puyol" pays attention to injuries, it is indeed worth looking forward to.
Since Memikovic, Wang Gang, Zhang Chengdong and Jiang Xiangyou are all all all-rounders, this provides convenience and possibility for Guoan to switch from a three-centre-back to a four-back formation when attacking and defending. Another thing to note is the U23 candidate, Gao Tianyi and Bai Yang are not age-appropriate players. The U23 players that Guoan can choose are all post-99s, the oldest of which is Liu Guobo, who can play as a winger or full-back, and then Xie Longfei and Li Boxi, two young players born in 2000, who are similar to Liu Guobo's position and have different characteristics. Then there are Liang Shaowen and Ruan Qilong of the 01 echelon. According to Xie Feng's feedback during the winter training and spring training, Liu Guobo may get a chance at the beginning of the season, after all, Dabro has not yet left from Europe, and it is still unknown when he will arrive in China, and it just so happens that Liu Guobo and three other young players can take his place. But after Dabro arrived, whether U23 players such as Liu Guobo could continue to serve as the starter depended on their early performance and final growth. After all, the competitiveness of several post-00s players in the Guoan midfield is not bad at all. Now Guoan has given the manager more options through reinforcements, but the unstable position of the center-back and the poor state of the personnel may bury some hidden dangers. But conversely, the more this happens, the more likely it is that young players will pop up to take over. The new foreign aid and the familiar young players have made Guoan more interesting in the new season.
