With the Beijing time on April 12, a report about Beijing Guoan's preparation moves for the 2021 Chinese Super League season made waves in the media circle. According to Beijing Youth Daily, Guoan's foreign aid Bakambu reproduced an embarrassing scene of missed shots in training, which is undoubtedly a blessing for Shenhua.
The Beijing Youth Daily's report reads roughly like this: With the Chinese Super League about to kick off, Guoan held an open training event during their preparations. During this event, Bakambu made several shooting errors during the training, and the fans at the scene expressed their dissatisfaction with his performance and booed him.
Bakambu, 30, made 20 appearances last year, contributing 14 goals and 6 assists. He tested positive for the new coronavirus when he entered China last year, went through a quarantine period and has just returned to training with the team. As a result, the media generally believes that Bakambu is still a long way from his best.
Judging from Beijing Youth Daily's report, Bakambu's shots in training were indeed disappointing, otherwise fans wouldn't have booed his performance. Although the media did not reveal more details, Bakambu's poor form is certainly good news for Shenhua.
For fans familiar with the Chinese Super League, Guoan and Shenhua will meet in the first round of the Chinese Super League. Bakambu will undoubtedly be a key player for the team, considering that Guoan's Augusto and Fernando have yet to return. Although Bakambu has been labeled as the "Happy Prince" over the years, he has scored a handful of goals, contributing 23, 16, and 14 in the past three years. Now that Bakambu is not in good shape, the pressure on Shenhua will naturally be reduced.
Finally, let's see what the fans say about Bakambu: "Catch up on your recovery, without Pride you'll have a lot fewer chances this year than you did last year, improve your goal scoring rate", "Remember that time there was a video of a fan at the home ground spraying Bakambu in English and telling him to get out! ".
