In this season's game, Beijing Guoan with its strong strength to win a lot of attention, people have been optimistic that they are expected to return to the top three, once again shouting "always the first" lofty words. But contrary to expectations, Guoan's performance did not meet the expectations of the outside world. For a long time, fans of the captain, coach Li Ming, and even some fans called for Guoan to introduce a top coach.
The fans' anger seemed to be quelled only by a change of captain and coach. During the national team's break, Guoan announced the sacking of Stanley and Portuguese Luis Suarez took over the coaching reins. Although Soares took over, Guoan achieved 3 wins and 1 loss in the Chinese Super League and FA Cup, the overall outlook of the team did not change significantly. Injuries to key players have also left Suarez slightly helpless. Nevertheless, the team's performance has satisfied the fans. However, with 15 rounds left in the league, if Guoan wants to continue to pursue good results, it must strengthen its lineup, especially the front line.
After a long wait, Angola have finally made their first signing in the summer window. The German transfer administrator revealed that Angolan international Fabio Abreu has officially joined the club. The 30-year-old 182 cm tall center forward has played in the Portuguese, Saudi and UAE leagues, and last season played for Hauer Fecan. It is reported that Abreu's contract with Hulfekan expired at the end of the season, and now joining Guoan can be said to be "zero cost".
The highlight of Abreu's career came in the 2019/2020 season, when he played for Mirela People in the Portuguese Superliga, making 36 appearances and scoring 14 goals, earning the first transfer fee of his career for his outstanding performances.In 2020, he moved to Saudi League side Baten for €2.5 million, making 30 appearances and scoring 18 goals in his first season. In his second season he made 30 appearances and scored 10 goals, and in July 2022 he joined Julficam in the United Arab Emirates League, where he made 15 appearances and scored 6 goals.
According to sources, Abreu and current Guiao manager Luis Suarez worked together during their time in the Portuguese Super League and both are represented by the same agent. This seems to indicate that Suarez will be bringing in his own cronies. So which foreigner will Abreu replace? What changes can he bring to Guiao? Let's wait and see.
