In the Chinese Super League (CSL), Hebei stands alone as one of the 18 teams that have yet to open their assembly. According to the latest report from Sohu Sports, Huaxia Happiness Group will maintain the operation of the soccer club, and the Hebei team is basically confirmed to continue to form a team to meet the challenge of the new season of the Chinese Super League.
The staff of Hebei Football Club is working on the training program. As the Langfang area, where the training base is located, has been affected by the Xin Guan epidemic, the club has prepared two programs. If Langfang is unsealed in the near future, the team will move into the Niutuo base to start preparations for the new season. At present, Niutuo base has begun to clean up the room, trimming turf, Langfang epidemic is close to the end, is expected to be unsealed in the near future. If the epidemic is repeated, the club will start the second program, in the CFF designated tournament area around the site to continue the preparation for the new season.
Hebei's head coach Kim Jong-bu has returned home from South Korea and is under quarantine, and is expected to end his quarantine and take over the team in mid- to late-April. However, because some of the assistant coaches contracted the virus, they did not return to China with Kim. Before Kim's arrival, the team's training will be handled by assistant coaches Wang Jun and Lang Zheng.
This season, the Hebei team plans to compress expenses and fight for the Chinese Super League with a team of young players. A number of veterans will leave the team, possibly leaving only Ding Haifeng and Pan Ximing. Fortunately, Jin Jongfu started to promote the rejuvenation of the team last year, and many 24 and 5 year old players have already made their mark in the league. For the current Hebei team, relegation may be the most practical need for survival.
