Setien, before he took over the coaching whip of Guoan, was well aware of the club's plan to attract Sergio, which is precisely one of the motivations for him to choose to join Guoan. It is reported that Setien plans to build Sergio as the soul of Guoan's offensive line and build a new tactical system around him.
Looking back at Sergio's performance over the past five seasons, he has won recognition for his outstanding strength. So far, he has played 100 matches for Changchun Yatai in the Chinese Super League, contributing 30 goals and 23 assists, making him the backbone of Yatai's offense. Sergio's joining will not only improve Guoan's offensive organization ability, but also has a strategic value for the national football team's performance in the 18th round of the tournament.
Serginho is speeding up the naturalization process and is expected to become a player in our country by March, when he will represent the national team in the Saudi Arabia 18 group stage. It is worth mentioning that as early as Serginho started the naturalization process, national team head coach Ivan Ivanovic had already met with him in Beijing. Ivan was full of praise for Serginho's creativity on the attacking end, which the national team desperately needs. It is speculated that Serginho is expected to become the centerpiece of the national team's midfield, significantly improving the attacking power of our national team in front of the field.
With new coaches Setien and Sergio on board, Beijing Guoan's performance in the new season is highly anticipated by fans. Currently, the club has completed contract extensions with Zhang Xizhe, Wang Gang, Ji Zhongguo and Cao Yongjing. Next, the team will continue to introduce internal and external reinforcements. If they can sign a back with outstanding defensive ability, Guoan's strength will be higher, and the chances of winning the Chinese Super League title in the new season will be greatly increased!
