The first news of the day is related to Shanghai Shenhua. Although Shenhua players Wang Haijian, Xu Hoyang and Zhang Wei, who were sent out by the Asian Games training team, were invited back to Shanghai Shenhua. However, Shanghai Shenhua's employment shortage still shows no sign of easing. Shenhua's main goalkeeper Ma Zhen, midfield core Wu Xi and Dai Weijun, and defense core Jiang Shenglong and Zhu Chenjie have been sent to the national team to prepare for the Vietnam-Uzbekistan match. In addition, the Chinese Olympic team also sent five players from Shanghai Shenhua. That is to say, Shenhua team was siphoned off 10 players by the national and Olympic teams on this international match day. According to the compensation policy previously introduced by the CFA, Shanghai Shenhua's five foreign aiders were all eligible to play. With Shenhua's personnel severely incomplete, head coach Wu Jingui is likely to put all five foreign aiders on the pitch at the same time, which makes up for the impact of the lack of squad depth on the team.
The second piece of news has to do with Dalianese head coach Xie Hui. There are still three rounds left in this season's Chinese Super League. Currently, Dalian People and Nantong Zhiyun have a total of 19 points. Dalian People escaped from the relegation zone by beating their opponents on goal difference. However, in the last three rounds of matches, Dalian People will face Qingdao Hainiu, Wuhan Sanzhen and Shanghai Harbor. From the overall strength point of view, Dalian people obviously weaker than Wuhan three towns and Shanghai harbor relegation situation is quite serious. Recently, many media believe that if Dalian people unfortunately relegated this season head coach Xie Hui, is likely to leave. And Dalian people are likely to find a new coach to lead the team into the Central League. Many fans suggest that if Xie Hui is dismissed, Dalian People may want to invite Sun Jihai, a famous soccer player in Dalian, to replace Xie Hui as the new coach of Dalian People. Sun Jihai was a core player during the Dalian Wanda era, and had gone abroad to join English Premier League giants Manchester City. He plays an important role in the hearts of Dalian fans and Chinese fans. After retirement, Sun Jihai participated in soccer youth training. Currently, he has selected a number of promising young players in Xinjiang, contributing to China's youth training endeavors. If the Dalian people invite Sun Jihai, I think Sun Jihai will seriously consider coaching. Once Sun Jihai takes over the team to play in China's first division, Sun Jihai can bring the young youths he found in Xinjiang to Dalian, so that more young players can stand out in China's professional league.
The third piece of news is related to Beijing Guoan. After the National Team Match Day, Beijing Guoan will have a tough match with Shanghai Port, the top team in the league. As long as Shanghai Port beat Beijing Guoan, they can win the Chinese Super League title two rounds ahead of schedule. Beijing Guoan, who has no hope of winning the title, naturally does not want to be the backdrop for Shanghai Port to win the CSL title. Therefore, Beijing Guoan will do their best to block their opponent in the match against Harbor. According to the latest report of Beijing Youth Daily, Zhang Yuning, the striker of Guoan who was injured in Holland, has finally returned to the training base of Guoan and is expected to make an appearance in the match against Shanghai Harbor. Last season, Zhang Yuning was the ace of Guoan's offense, winning the Chinese Super League's domestic Golden Boot Award and the title of Most Valuable Player.
The last piece of news has to do with the naturalized striker of the national football team, Eickson. Ickerson did not appear in the national soccer team's 2-0 win over Vietnam. Head coach Jankovic opted for veteran Tan Long in the center forward position. Late in the second half, he replaced Xie Weijun, a senior center forward who plays for Tianjin Jinmen Tigers. Although he did not appear in the match against Vietnam, according to the latest news from the Beijing Youth Daily, Ekson is likely to start alongside Wei in the warm-up match against Uzbekistan. In the two warm-up matches in September, Ekson, who was the starting center forward of the national football team, did not perform well. If he fails to prove himself against Uzbekistan he is likely to lose his starting position.
