Yesterday, Guoan Football Club celebrated its 31st anniversary. I extend my best wishes to this historic Chinese Super League powerhouse, which has steadily gone through 31 years of spring and fall. Guoan is not only a veteran club in the Chinese Super League, but also one of the highlights of the winter transfer window every year, attracting the attention of countless fans.
Recently, there has been a lot of talk among fans about the Nationals' visit. Please be assured that any change will take time, we just need to be patient and wait for the final results. In the meantime, rumors about assistance from the National Security Team continue to swirl, with numerous players' names being mentioned. And none has received more attention than the whereabouts of our favorite international player, Lin Liangming.
With Dalian's relegation, Lin Liangming, a 26-year-old striker, has become a target of competition from various powerhouses. He has made 71 appearances and 57 starts in the last three seasons, scoring 23 goals and contributing 5 assists as Dalian's absolute mainstay. In the last two seasons, Lin Liangming has become the key attacker of Dalian Ren, and in 2023, he made five appearances for the national team, starting three times, contributing two goals and scoring two goals in the warm-up match in West Asia.
Lin Liangming holds the only record for an active player at Real Madrid so far, and even though he hasn't stayed with the team, he has shown enough potential to be impressive. If he can make the leap from a relegated team to the national team in one step, then his resume will undoubtedly be fully justified. Lin Liangming is an excellent match for Guoan in the transfer market. Once he joins, he will reap at least the following three benefits:
Personality Fit, Professional Focus
Lin Liangming is known for his calm, low-key and down-to-earth character in soccer, which coincides with the culture of Guoan FC. At Guoan, players just need to focus on playing soccer and use their skills to win the trust of the coach, which will naturally lead to more playing opportunities.
Deep heritage, mutual fulfillment
Guoan, as one of the big clubs in China, has an illustrious history of 31 years. This stability and pursuit of achievement matches the players' goals. As we can see from the success stories of Gao Tianyi and Fang Hao, Guoan not only provides a stage for players, but also helps them grow and realize a win-win situation.
Gathering of friends, building brilliance together
The former members of the "97 National Youth League" have now become the backbone of the league. Guoan has Zhang Yuning and Yang Liyu. Lin Liangming's choice for Guoan means that the "Three Musketeers" of the National Youth Football League will be reunited at the golden age of 26. This sense of belonging and participation will be deeper, and Lin Liangming will also integrate into the atmosphere of Guoan more quickly.
Imagine Lin Liangming joining the team, Guoan's side will be like a double-winged spread, which is exactly the tactics that Coach Suarez is looking forward to. Even if Kang Xiangyou leaves the team, Lin Liangming's arrival will inject new energy into Guoan. This younger player has more impact. With three strong players from three national brands coming together, two being mainstays of the national team, and Fabio, such an attacking force will undoubtedly take its place in the Chinese Super League. The question is how to maintain the competitiveness of the frontcourt lineup with the addition of new foreign and domestic players. Guoan's frontcourt strength is something to look forward to.
All in all, the addition of Lin Liangming is expected to be a new favorite of National Security fans. Rumors about the National Security team are endless. Although some fans are keen to catch all kinds of wind, we still need to remain rational. The National Safety Team is something to look forward to next year. Despite the financial problems, it is these challenges that will best test the club's ability to bring in reinforcements. We should still have faith in the club. The wisest thing to do is to wait for the official announcement and look forward to the players' performances.
