February 27, 2023 - Fang Hao and Yang Liyu have made it clear that they will be joining Beijing Guoan, as they recently traveled to Beijing to meet with the team, according to the latest news from Soccer Daily. Fang Hao is a young player who used to play for Wuhan Zall before making a name for himself with Jankovic's U23 national soccer team through his "Senior Happy" performances in the First World War. Fang Hao is a striker who is very fast and has a good impact, with a bit of Wu Lei's temperament. Yang Liyu proved himself with Guangzhou and is better at feeding the cake. These two are also local players at the international level.
Aside from Fang and Yang, Miao Yuan also said that Yan Dinghao and Lin Liangming are also waiting for their chance and they are also expected to join Guoan. Lin Liangming played for Real Madrid's U19 ladder and then worked his way up to some lower level tournaments in Europe before returning to the midfield in 2020.In 2020, Lin joined Dalian Ren and then played for 3 seasons, scoring 20 goals and assisting 2 times in 56 matches in the Chinese Super League. Yan Dinghao played well for Guangzhou and was also a player selected for the national team. He is a good midfielder. Lin and Yan are also international players.
Meanwhile, Li Lei has returned to the Chinese Super League from the Swiss Super League.The local international went to Swiss Super League side Grasshoppers as a free agent in January 2022, and went on to make a number of appearances and perform well. After all, Li Lei has experience studying abroad, so his return will make Guoan's defense more stable. On the other hand, Guoan has also picked two high-level foreigners who are very close to being officially signed. Together with De Souza, Guoan's three foreigners are almost complete. In other words, Guoan's signings went relatively smoothly.
In last season's Chinese Super League, Beijing Guoan, who were planning to win the title, played a lonely game and ended up in seventh place with 58 points, not only the title was hopeless, but they didn't qualify for the AFC Champions League play-offs.In the 2023 season, a new battle is about to start and Guoan is signing players according to the plan, and they aren't short of money, so they are expected to have a good result in the new season. Now four international players will join, Li Lei is back and De Souza is here, it depends on how well Guoan will perform in the new season.
