On May 11, in the Beijing time zone, the Peninsula Morning Post published an in-depth report analyzing the situation of Hebei Football Club in the new season.
According to the report, based on information from Germany's leading transfer data website, Hebei's overall market value is the lowest in the Chinese Super League, only slightly higher than the second-ranked Cangzhou Lions, whose market value is even less than a fraction of that of top-ranked Shanghai Seaport. Despite retaining core players such as Jiang Guangtai, the Guangzhou team has grown considerably in strength, making Hebei a popular candidate for relegation. In addition, among all the Chinese Super League teams, Hebei started their training last.
The team has high hopes for South Korean coach Kim Jong-woo, who last season, when the club was in deep trouble, remained at his post and showed excellent coaching ability, and his perseverance is admirable. Kim has previously revealed that he is fully prepared for the upcoming difficulties, and despite the youthfulness of the team, he has promised to do his best to meet the challenges with the team.
