It's that time of year again for the access exercise, and many Super League teams are actively working to resolve issues. The access deadline, originally set for Dec. 5, was gracefully set for Dec. 15 to give teams enough time to resolve wage and debt arrears. If they can save one, they are one. If they have strict card access now, I'm afraid half the teams will have to plant. Beijing Guoan is one of the teams experiencing difficulties, but access is not an issue. There are no big problems. The players are more cooperative and the Guoan club is actively solving the problem.
In the past two seasons, Guoan didn't have enough money, but the foreigners never broke. Regardless of the level, from Adebenelo and Daburo to De Souza and Ademi, Beijing Guoan paid a lot of money. The main reason why Guoan encountered a transfer ban is that Fernando was introduced in the 2019 season, four years ago this year. That season, Guoan joined Fernando on loan due to an injury to Vieira, and in the 2020 winter window, spent €9.6 million on a buyout.
Fernando left Beijing Guoan in the middle of the 2021 season. Although he played well in the team, he left the team to get rid of the burden of high salary. As a result, a sudden dispute occurred this year for a not-so-low amount of money, causing Beijing Guoan to encounter a transfer ban once again. However, Beijing Guoan is about to settle the dispute. Four years ago, foreign aid has been affecting the season. In fact, this is a microcosm of Beijing Guoan. Last season, if the foreign aid is normal, Guoan can enter the top four.
After the ban is lifted, the next step is a series of enhancements such as signings and contract renewals. Two of the most popular players with expiring contracts in the Chinese Super League this year are Jiang Shenglong of Shanghai Shenhua and Zhang Yuning. It's a sign of strength that even though he hasn't played in half a season, he's still the main striking option for the national soccer team. After the league ended, Zhang Yuning was not idle. But chose to practice, after all, he did not come back long enough to be fit and healthy, and his physical condition was not at its best.
Zhang Yuning will start at the Asian Cup in January. As the strongest homegrown center forward, he is leading the way in every aspect of the game. His contract has expired, but he is still set to extend his contract with Beijing Guoan. Next year, the striker combination of Abreu and Zhang Yuning will produce different sparks. Players such as Yang Liyu and Gao Tianyi will also complete their contract extensions. Beijing Guoan did a double-take while accessing, contacting a number of possible in-form players who could join them. I'm afraid that this year's Chinese Super League signings are going to depend on "snatching". Lin Liangming has at least five teams wanting to bring him in.
Beijing Guoan new season plan is clear, head coach Suarez to stay in the team, foreign aid Ngadu, Jiang Xiangyou and Fabio Abreu three will stay in the team, Adebenelo, Dablo will be sold or terminated contract, domestic assistance can choose a wider range. Many Chinese Super League teams have no problems, but the team will reduce investment, as in previous seasons of the Chinese Super League, players to give up salary arrears in exchange for freedom, Beijing Guoan signing focuses on these players, general manager Li Ming, the ability to reverse the reputation depends on the ability of the winter window.
