Recently, a lot of "insider information" has revealed that Zhang Yuning, the local scorer who has just recovered from injury and returned to Beijing Guoan, may be embarking on another journey to join a French club. The former pillar player of Beijing Guoan not only won the domestic Golden Boot of the Chinese Super League last season, but also won the honor of the best domestic player of the Chinese Super League, marking the highlight of his career. However, this season, Zhang Yuning is in Holland to recover from an injury and did not play for Guoan. As a rising star of Chinese soccer, Zhang joined the ranks of famous teams such as Bremen of the Bundesliga and West Bromwich Albion of the English Premier League while studying in the Netherlands. After returning to the Chinese Super League, he faithfully played for Beijing Guoan.
Zhang Yuning is unique among domestic strikers with his exceptional physical quality and scoring ability. Unlike many domestic players, he mastered fluent English during his studies in Europe, which helped him communicate with his coaching team and laid a solid foundation for him to go abroad again. Beijing Guoan also seems ready to give Zhang Yuning the green light to go abroad again. If the news is true, Zhang Yuning will become the first Chinese soccer striker to play in a European league on his own. And Guoan may also be looking for Zhang Yuning's successor when the Chinese Super League transfer window opens this year, making a new round of adjustments to the team's lineup. My personal guess is that if Zhang Yuning leaves Guoan, general manager Li Ming may look for Dalian striker Lin Liangming as a replacement. Lin Liangming came from the Guangzhou R&F youth team and was favored by La Liga giants Real Madrid's youth team and played for Real Madrid's B team for many years, but never made it to the first team. After returning to the Chinese Super League, he became the centerpiece of the attack in Dalian and showed excellent form in the national team selection. If Dalian fails to accomplish its relegation goal, Lin Liangming and his coaching team, including Xie Hui, may leave the team, which will provide an opportunity for Chinese Super League giants such as Guoan. Although Dalian has sent Sun Guowen and Tong Lei to Shandong Taishan before this season, the loss of key players is serious and the team's strength has dropped significantly. If the financial difficulties are not alleviated, Dalian may continue to sell core players. It is worth mentioning that Yan Xiangguan, Shan Huanhuan and other players have also played for Guoan, Dalian and Guoan maintain a friendly relationship.
