The current International Match Day is coming to an end, and the national football team will have their second match against Palestine soon. After the match, the national team players will return to their respective clubs to prepare for the 13th round of the Chinese Super League. During this period of time, each club has made adjustments and improvements based on their performances in the first 12 rounds, mainly focusing on two aspects: changing the head coach and updating the team lineup. Defending champion Wuhan Sanzhen replaced champion head coach Pedro, officially announced Japanese coach Gao Biaojiao as the team's head coach, and explicitly made the AFC Champions League results his key assessment item, which indicates whether Wuhan Sanzhen has already given up on the league title.
Compared to last season, the rest of the Meizhou teams are not doing well for the Hakka. Lobzanidze, the 1.94 meter tall center forward introduced this year, was highly anticipated, but the performance of 0 goals in 12 games was really unacceptable. A few days ago, the Georgian international sent a message to say goodbye to the team and seemed to be cleaned out by the club. Lobzhanidze has played 12 league games this season, starting in six, with only two assists and no goals. Meizhou Hakka's poor performance has a lot to do with the ugly stats of the Arrows. The league couldn't open his scoring account in 12 rounds of matches, and Meizhou Hakka doesn't have to give him another chance.
Also, Qingdao Hainiu will make big moves when the second transfer window opens. Qingdao Hainiu finally promoted to the Chinese Super League this season with the goal of getting a foothold in the league, but now the relegation situation seems to be even more serious, so it plans to strengthen its relegation in this transfer window. Qingdao is also paying more attention to the relegation of Sea Cow and has promised to support the club's relegation to the maximum extent possible, so Qingdao will also have a high degree of freedom in terms of recruitment.
The first candidate identified by the Qingdao Manatees was former Guangzhou midfielder Zhang Xiuwei. As Zhang Xiuwei is a free agent, he was contacted very early on. The players are still in Qingdao discussing contract details with the team. The club's general manager also confirmed that Zhang Xiuwei has decided to join the team, and only some small details are still being discussed, which will not affect the whole contract. Zhang Xiuwei hasn't participated in a game for a long time and hasn't even trained systematically. This time Qingdao is only willing to offer him a short-term contract.
It's worth mentioning that Qingdao Hainiu also want to bring a naturalized striker back to the Chinese Super League, Eckerson returned to the Chinese Super League with great success, Qingdao also want to follow Chengdu's example to bring back another naturalized striker, currently there are Lok Kwok Foo and Alain in Brazil, the former is planning to retire this year, so Qingdao Hainiu intend to bring in Alain. However, due to budgetary issues, it's a bit difficult to rejoin Alan, but Qingdao Hainiu are doing their best to make the effort. Song Long and Duan Liuyu are also planning to add some domestic players to their reinforcement list, which will effectively improve the strength of the team and won't affect too much even if Alan doesn't come.
