The team completed an intense training session at the Fengtai Sports Center, and as night fell, they were ready to leave the next day for Suzhou to prepare for the upcoming 2021 season.
China Super League (soccer league)
The league blew the charge.
After 10 days of preparation in the capital, head coach Bilic has been organizing daily training sessions for his players according to the established plan, with a view to reaching their best competitive condition before the league opens on the 20th of this month. The team will usher in the first round of the 23rd of this month, against Shanghai Shenhua, for this reason, Guoan coaching team in the 13th and 15th arranged two closed teaching matches, aimed at improving the players' feeling of the game.
In the two warm-up matches, Guoan team easily beat the Chinese League One team BeiTechnology and the Chinese Super League team Tianjin Jinmen Tiger with a record of 3-0 and 2-0 respectively. It is worth mentioning in particular that Bakambu, the recently returned foreign striker, scored twice in both games, showing the "Happy Boy's" excellent sense of smell in front of the goal, which reminds people of his efficient goal-scoring ability last season.
Currently, Guoan registered 5 foreigners for the Chinese Super League, but since Brazilian foreigner Augusto is stranded in the region and South Korean center back Kim Min Ja is temporarily unavailable due to an ankle injury, it is likely that Guoan will be relying on the 3 foreigners, Bakambu, Bieira, and Lucas Sousa, to support the team in the first 5 rounds of the league. Bakambu's form will undoubtedly be a key factor in the team's performance.
It is reported that Guoan team will depart from Beijing to Suzhou on the 19th. Three days later, the team will usher in the first round of the "Beijing-Shanghai war", facing the off-season introduced Wu Xi, Bassogo and other strong Shenhua team, Guoan manager Bilic will use the last few days, the characteristics of the opponent tactical rehearsals, and strive to win in this old rivalry between the competition.
