At the start of the season, Beijing Guoan absorbed local talents such as Fang Hao and Li Lei, and also brought in European stars such as Ademi and De Souza. Despite having only three games left in the league, Guoan is in third place behind Shanghai Shenhua, and is only in fifth place in the Chinese Super League standings, making the race for a place in the AFC Champions League a worrying one.
The team's poor performance is related to the absence of domestic players Nai Bijiang, Gao Tianyi and Fang Hao due to the national team training, and their departure has had a significant impact on Guoan's lineup rotation strategy. At the foreigner level, Ademi has left the team, and De Souza has returned to his home country to heal his injury and is almost certain to bid farewell to Guoan. Albenro and Dabbro, two foreigners who joined the team last season, have also been loaned to European teams. Guoan's predicament is closely linked to the play of foreign aid, and only three foreign aiders are left to fight in the Chinese Super League.
Looking ahead, Ademi and De Souza are expected to bid farewell to Guoan next season, and the team will also start the introduction of new foreign aid. The end of the Chinese Super League's golden dollar era has made the introduction of top foreign aid more and more difficult. Last year, Guoan general manager Li Ming personally went to Europe to select foreign aid, but the results were not satisfactory. Therefore, Guoan may adjust the foreign aid introduction strategy for the next season, no longer sticking to the European high-level foreign aid, but focusing on those foreign aid who have outstanding performance in the Chinese Super League.
Recently, the media revealed that Guoan has started to prepare for next year's transfer market. Brazilian midfielder Moises, who plays for Shandong Taishan, is expected to be a new target for Guoan. 36-year-old Moises, who won the Chinese Super League assist title last year, is the centerpiece of Taishan's midfield. Given his age, Taishan may not renew Moises' contract, and Guoan is expected to take advantage of the situation and bring the soul of the midfielder into their camp.
Moises is excellent in organizing and scheduling and in the big picture on the field, and his joining will inject vitality into Guoan's offense. At the same time, he has a deep understanding of the tactics of Chinese Super League teams, which will help him quickly integrate into Guoan's tactical system and realize a seamless connection. In recent years, Guoan has been repeatedly criticized by fans for its problems in bringing in foreign aid, and some even believe that if the club's top management does not fire Li Ming, it will be difficult to reverse Guoan's decline.
