As the start date of the Inter-League draws closer and closer, the top sixteen teams in the Chinese Super League have been revealed, with many clubs reserving space for young players in their lists, with Guangzhou standing out in particular. The team's head coach, Carnavaro, promoted 11 youngsters from football schools when determining the Chinese Super League entry list, and with the addition of Wu Shao Cong, who was originally selected, the Guangzhou team now has a total of 12 post-00s players, which is the most in the Chinese Super League. It is worth mentioning that striker Li Xingxian, who was born in 2005, has become the youngest player in this year's Chinese Super League.
Under the guidance of manager Bilic, Beijing Guoan's enrollment list features seven youngsters in their 00s. The first match of the new season for Guoan will kick off at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 23, against old rival Shanghai Shenhua.

"Guoan's first two matches are against two teams from Shanghai, and judging from the registration list, Guoan has quite a lot of newcomers, most of whom have experience in the National Youth and National Junior League. As far as I know, the strength of this group of newcomers is above average. However, considering that Bilic's contract is signed until the end of 2022, two seasons, the prospect of next season still depends on the results of this season. Therefore, I think there may not be too many opportunities for the young players this season. On the one hand, it is for the sake of results, and on the other hand, Guoan's current squad has a reasonable age structure, and has not yet reached the moment when it must be renewed and youngsters must be activated.
Looking at the lineup, the foreigners will definitely be on the field, and the midfielders Li Ke, Ji Zhongguo, Zhang Xunzhe, and Hou Yongyu are all in a relatively mature state, and there are plans to bring in reinforcements this year. So I think it's good to see the post-00 newcomers who have been mentioned in the first team this season training with the team. Once you have a chance to play, you must make a good impression on the head coach, otherwise the chances may become very slim."
