At the beginning of the season, Beijing Guoan invited domestic stars such as Fang Hao and Li Lei to join the team, while the foreign aid lineup also ushered in European powerhouses such as Ademi and De Souza. However, as the league is coming to an end, Guoan only ranked third by three points with Shanghai Shenhua, and only ranked fifth in the Chinese Super League standings, the situation is worrying in the fight for the AFC Champions League seat.
The team's recent poor performance, domestic players Nai Bijiang, Gao Tianyi and Fang Hao temporarily left the team due to the national team call-ups, which had an impact on Guoan's lineup rotation. At the foreign aid level, Ademi has left the team, and De Sousa returned to Brazil due to injury, so Guoan's foreign aid lineup has been significantly reduced. Albeno and Daburo two new recruits have also been loaned to European teams, the performance of foreign aid is closely linked to the performance of Guoan. At present, Guoan only three foreign aid left to fight in the Chinese Super League.
Looking ahead, with the whereabouts of Ademi and De Sousa for next season yet to be clarified, Guoan may bring in new recruits to bolster their squad. With the end of the Chinese Super League's golden dollar era, it has become increasingly difficult to bring in high-level foreign aid. Last year, the general manager of Guoan, Li Ming, personally handled the attraction, but the effect is not satisfactory. Guoan may adjust its attraction strategy, no longer focusing on European foreign aid, but locking the strength of players in the Chinese Super League.
Recently, there are news that Guoan has quietly started the transfer plan for next year. Brazilian foreign aid player Moises, currently playing for Shandong Taishan, is expected to be the newest addition to the team. 36-year-old Moises, who was honored as the assist leader in the Chinese Super League last season, is the centerpiece of Taishan's midfield. Due to his age, Taishan may not renew his contract. If Guoan can successfully bring in Moises, it will greatly enhance the team's midfield strength. The arrival of Moises will help Guoan's offense and defense transition more smoothly, and at the same time, he knows the tactics of the Chinese Super League team, which will help to quickly integrate into the team.
In recent years, Guoan general manager Li Ming has been repeatedly questioned in terms of reinforcements, fans have called on the club's senior management to fire Li Ming, re-hire the general manager to enhance the competitiveness of the team. Some fans even believe that if the senior personnel adjustment, the performance of Guoan will continue to decline.
