Beijing Guoan has been one step at a time this season, whether it be signings, coaching changes or foreign aid. After Stanley Menzo's dismissal, Portuguese Luis Suarez came in with mediocre results and discarded Zhang Xizhe, leading to Guoan's poor record. In the last few games, Guoan has performed well. Although the F.A.C.A. Cup was eliminated, but the league ranked fourth, which is related to Suarez woke up in time, restarted Zhang Xizhe, Abreu 9 games, 6 goals and 3 assists.
Beijing Guoan has problems as the Chinese Super League enters the offseason. The availability of foreigners De Souza + Ademi for the rest of the campaign is in question. They have been average and effective this season, but can be replaced by local players. Gao Tianyi and Zhang Yuan can take their roles. De Souza is injured and there is news that he is retiring. He posted a message on social media saying that he will soon announce his real situation at Guiao. He can say that, and the result is not favorable for Guoan.
Even if De Souza wants to retire, he has to discuss it with Beijing Guoan, otherwise he would be irresponsible. There is another scenario, De Souza has a serious knee injury and can't play in the remaining six Super League games of the season. In fact, it has the same effect as retiring and can no longer play for Beijing Guoan. Fortunately, De Souza joined freely and Beijing Guoan lost little. When Li Ming signed his contract, he left one hand open and gave him a 1+1 contract. With his form this season, this +1 contract will not be enforced.
Another foreigner, Ademi, is in an even worse situation at Guiao. It's no secret that he wants to move. Three teams were willing to bring him in for a systematic transfer fee. Old employers Dinamo Zagreb were willing to pay 1 million euros to sign him, but Guoan was not satisfied. Ademi is now worth 2.5 million euros and is still a Macedonian international. He was bought for 1 million and sold for 1 million. It may seem like no loss, but Guoan also wants to maximize the benefits. Before that, some teams offered 2 million euros, but Guoan refused.
Now it can be sold for 2 million euros, equivalent to 15 million yuan. At that time, Beijing Guoan's record was unstable, and both the head coach and general manager Li Ming dared not let Ademi go easily. Now, they have missed the chance to stop the loss in time. The transfer windows of some European leagues are about to close, and Ademi's stay will be announced in the near future. In addition, the contracts of several Beijing Guoan players are expiring, including two international players, Yang Liyu and Gao Tianyi. Based on Guoan's current results, they prefer to renew their contracts.
Yang Liyu joined at the beginning of the season, when he only signed a one-year contract. He has made 21 appearances this season, scoring five goals, and has been a key player in Guoan's side. Gao Tianyi was squeezed into the bench. However, considering the age of Ji Zhongguo and Park Sung, two veteran midfielders, the future Beijing Guoan midfield will be Li Ke, Zhang Yuan and Gao Tianyi. As an international player, Gao Tianyi also needs a chance to start. Beijing Guoan is currently ranked fourth in the Chinese Super League and wants to impact the top three. The most important thing for Guoan now is to solve the problem of De Souza and Ademi's stay and departure, in which Ademi left the Macedonian national team and dealt with the transfer.
