The absence of Zhang Yuning, the pillar of the strikers, is undoubtedly a punch in the gut for the Guings' spring preparations. icphoto
As the Chinese New Year festival comes to an end, Beijing Guoan's team and ladder immediately enter the pre-season preparation state at full speed. Reporter Zhou Xiao reported that on January 28, Guoan U21 team has embarked on a training trip to Haikou; while Guoan first team will assemble on February 6 and depart for Haikou the following day.
According to the outline of spring training, Guoan's first team will assemble in the capital on February 6, and the players will undergo medical checkups as usual before arriving in Haikou on February 8 to warm up for the brand new season. Guoan U, who won the U21 League title with a clean sweep last season, are the first to embark on the preparation journey today. Several young players who were loaned out to the Central League last year have also returned to the team and joined the training. After the first team arrives in Haikou, the U21 players will also receive an in-depth inspection by the first team coaching team.
Compared to past seasons, the Nationals will see major changes in this year's spring training camp. It is reported that several senior players, including Yu Yang and Jin Pengxiang, may retire or leave the team. Zhang Yuning, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, will go to Beijing Jishuitan Hospital to receive hip treatment in the near future, and will travel to the Netherlands in early February to seek rehabilitation, and he will not be able to participate in this season's spring training.
