There have been no games recently and we are still focusing on those players who have left the National.
The reason why they are not called the old National League players is also because many of them are actually rented out, i.e. those reserve team juniors.
To be honest, the four young players from the reserve team who were rented to the Central League this summer:Xie Longfei, Li Boshi, Leng Jixuan and Jiang Wenhao, have not yet fully established themselves.
After joining Guangxi Pingguo, Jiang Wenhao quickly starred under the foreign coach and won praise from the fans. Li Boshi also scored a goal. But soon, the foreign teachers of the Guangxi team were fired. With Jiang Chen as interim coach, both Li Boshi and Jiang Wenhao returned to the bench, and Leng Jixuan did not receive much recognition.
Now that the head coach of the Guangxi team has been identified as Zhao Changhong, the three young Guoan players under him have little chance. Most of them will play as substitutes in the game. One of them, Jiang Wenhao, is also appearing more often in the backline.
It should be said that the high start of the three young players of Guoan in Guangxi has a lot to do with the change of the team's coach. The local coach still doesn't trust the young players. However, even so, the three of them have the opportunity to play about 20 minutes per game as substitutes in the Chinese First Division and gain experience for them.
Xie Longfei, another young player on loan to China's First Division, is playing for Qingdao Youth Island, a team that is stronger than Guangxi's and currently ranked eighth in China. Xie Longfei has made five appearances for the team, starting only once.
It should be noted that these young post-00s players, who were expected by Guoan, have not had an overall upward trend this year. The four players on loan have not established themselves in the Chinese First Division, and many of the young players on Guoan's team have not had a chance. Both Liang Shaowen and Bijiang made multiple starts when Xie Feng was coach. Li Boshi and Ruan Qilong also played, and Xie Feng activated Liu Guobo. After Xie Feng left the team, Liang Shaowen and Nai Bijiang were completely suppressed by Bai Yang and Liu Huan and have not played in many consecutive games.
Overall, it's been another barren year for Guoan, who are aiming for renewal. Guoan gave players like Bai Yang and Zou Dehai more experience in the game.
Xie Longfei's teammates in Qingdao include former Guoan players Xue Mengtao and Zhang Yu. Xue Mengtao is the main defender of the 97th Tier team. He has made 18 appearances in Qingdao this year, including 7 starts, and can be considered a rotation player. The 25-year-old defender was favored by foreign coaches when he was in the reserve team, but he still doesn't have enough strength to stand firm at Guoan.
Zhang Yu is a player that Beijing fans care about. After all, he played a year at Guoan. Zhang Yu left Changchun Yatai earlier this year and might have gone to Chongqing, but the Chongqing team suddenly disbanded. Zhang Yu missed out on registration and had to keep his form with the Chinese champions. In the summer window, he went to Dalian for a trial, but he didn't stay because he didn't meet Xie Hui's tactical requirements. Finally, he joined Qingdao Youth Island.
Currently, Zhang Yu has made two substitute appearances for the team and scored a goal. For Zhang Yu, who hasn't trained systematically for a game for six months and has since joined the team, he needs to work harder to recover.
In addition to these players, we will turn our attention to Europe. With Wu Lei back in China, Li Lei is almost certainly the only one of China's international players. Li Lei's season with the Swiss Grasshoppers has been similar to last year. In 12 games this year, he has made 5 appearances and 4 starts, and can only be considered a rotational player.
This season, Li Lei appeared more in the Grasshoppers' three center back system, the left center back position, because of the strong offense and weak defense, but also need to adapt. In the just-concluded game, Li Lei defended in the penalty area, tried to head the ball to the front and back waist position of the teammates, by the opponent grabbed and scored, from the goal, Li Lei also has some responsibility, in the game, Li Lei also injured in the 82nd minute.
Finally, let's talk about the current status of Guiao's former foreigners. Under Vieira's leadership, Las Palmas is now in first place in La Liga. Currently, the team is undefeated in 11 matches, with 6 wins and 5 draws, and has good momentum. As the core of the team, Vieira is expected to return to La Liga next season.
Fernando continues his fantastic run with Sporting Antalya. He has now made seven starts and scored two goals for his team. Bakambu has made four appearances since joining Olympiacos. In his last three consecutive starts in the Greek Super League, he has been effective for his team, contributing three goals and an assist.
As you can see, in second-tier European leagues like Greece and Turkey, Bakambu and Fernando level foreigners are basically killers in the same way. This is similar to what happened to Vieira when he was playing in Segunda B. They are both starters for mid to lower tier teams in the top European leagues. Unfortunately, these foreigners did not form a synergy at Guoan to help them achieve better results.
