In this season, Beijing Guoan's performance in both the Chinese Super League and the Football Association Cup appeared to be uneventful, as if it was a hint of coolness in an autumn day. This made the team's manager Suarez controversial for a while, and rumors of his resignation continued. However, with a twist of fate, Guoan was unable to pay the high liquidated damages due to financial difficulties and after much deliberation, finally decided to move on with Suarez.
This decision seems to have injected new vigor into Suarez, who, like a phoenix reborn from nirvana, has opened a brilliant chapter in his coaching career at Guoan. Under his leadership, Guoan's last two matches have been as unstoppable as a tiger. The first was a thrilling 2-2 draw away to Chengdu Rongcheng, followed by a double win in the Chinese Super League with a 3-1 victory over Meizhou Hakka. This not only sparked the fire of hope in the hearts of the fans, but also rekindled Guoan's pursuit of the AFC Champions League next season. Therefore, in every game in the future, Guoan will definitely go all out and vow to fight to the best of their ability.
Suarez has a special focus on one veteran in this revival march - Yu Dabao. He had a brilliant career at Benfica, with four goals in the reserves still to be admired. However, twists of fate stalled his development at Benfica, so he turned to the domestic league, joining the Jinmen Tigers and becoming an indispensable centerpiece of the team. When the team was in trouble, he was always able to step up and lead the team out of the darkness like the dawn, thus winning the honor of "Golden Boot of Jinmen Tigers" and reaching the peak of his career.
Subsequently, in the midst of the Chinese Super League's gold-dollar soccer boom, Yu Dabao joined Guoan and once again showed his worth. At Guoan, he was not only a precise passer, creating attacking opportunities for his teammates; he was also a calm finisher, often putting on a goal-scoring show. Due to his outstanding performance, he was promoted to be the team's meritorious captain, becoming an indispensable and stable support on the field.
Although Yu Dabao seemed to be fading out of Guoan's first-team at the beginning of the season, Suarez had the foresight to give him a precious opportunity to come on as a substitute. Yu Dabao then scored two important goals, like bright stars, lighting up the night sky of Guoan, once again showing his strength and elegance.
Therefore, for Guoan, and Yu Dabao to extend a new contract seems to have become a foregone conclusion, without much suspense. This is not only a story about the perseverance and rebirth of a veteran, but also a vivid embodiment of the unity and solidarity within the Guoan team.
