Guoan assembles to pull physical fitness first: new recruit He Yupeng arrives in the team, the loan player returns, and he flies to Portugal on the 9th

At 2 p.m. on January 2, some players of the Beijing Guoan team reassembled at the Shunyi training base of the Guoan Club and started the first training session of the new season. About 20 players, including new signing He Yupeng, completed the training session of the coaching staff in about 2 hours. According to the arrangement, in the coming week, the national security team will have been training in Beijing to prepare for the next overseas winter training. Subsequently, the whole team will fly to Portugal on January 9, when the foreign coach team and foreign aid will report one after another, and the whole team will start a more intensive season preparation.

Unlike previous seasons, which mostly ended in mid-December, the first practice of Guoan's preparation for the new season was put after the New Year's holiday, in order to allow the players who have worked hard for a year to get a better rest physically and mentally, and to be fully prepared for the upcoming new season. According to a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily, this stage of training will last from the 2nd to the 8th, and the training plan will be formulated by the Portuguese physical fitness coach Pedro, with the content based on physical reserves, and the Chinese coaches Sui Dongliang and Tao Wei are responsible for the implementation.

Due to the strict completion of the "homework" left by the coaching staff during the holiday, the Guoan players who appeared at the training ground on the afternoon of the 2nd were in good physical condition, and in order to let the players adapt to the colder weather in Beijing, the first training session on the afternoon of the 2nd was mainly based on recovery. After a simple body stretch activation, the players went to the gym for a lap of strength training, followed by an aerobic run.

In terms of players, in addition to several players and foreign aid who are preparing for the national brand, the members of the national security first team in Beijing basically appeared on the training ground, and the veteran Chi Zhongguo did not participate in the training on the afternoon of the 2nd due to a previous knee injury. Another injured player, Wang Gang, had a broken rib that was basically healed, and he completed the training course alone with the help of a physiotherapist. Yang Liyu, who has completed the contract renewal with the team, will officially return to the team on the 3rd to participate in this stage of training.

There are several players on the training ground who are more attention-grabbing, and the defender He Yupeng, who has basically confirmed that he has joined the team, has arrived in the team, and Shi Yucheng and Cao Yongjing, who were previously on loan, have also returned to the team and actively participated in training. Since the National Olympic men's football team only gathered on January 10, the school-age player Ruan Qilong also participated in training in Guoan in order to maintain his condition. Judging by his performances, the rising star at the back who missed all of last season's games due to injury is well prepared. Also in need of proof is Zhang Yuan, who arrived in the team last summer, and the former Shenzhen midfielder will take on greater responsibility in midfield after Gao Tianyi's departure.

The players who returned to the team for training on the 2nd include Hou Sen, Abbas, Han Jiaqi, Zou Dehai, Wang Gang, Jiang Wenhao, Bai Yang, Feng Boxuan, Ruan Qilong, Zhang Chengdong, He Yupeng, Shi Yucheng, Cao Yongjing, Zhang Xizhe, Zhang Yuan, Wang Ziming, Fang Hao, Yu Dabao and Yan Yu.
