The drums of the Chinese Super League are about to beat at the beginning of May, just as the dawn is dawning. Of the 18 Chinese Super League teams, 17 are ready for the new season. However, the Hebei team is still in a state of scattered troops, and the progress of preparation is difficult. It is reported that despite the worrying outlook, the Hebei team is still expected to emerge in the new season of the Chinese Super League, but the team will focus on rejuvenation strategy.
The Hebei team originally planned to start the preparation for the new season on the eighth day of the first month, but due to many changes, the assembly moment has been postponed again and again. On the eve of the start of the second stage of the league last season, the Hebei team also rushed to Foshan, Guangzhou, at the last minute to start a short training, and then directly to participate in the game, the performance is not satisfactory, but ultimately succeeded in breaking into the group of the championship, the relegation task is successfully completed.
In the new season, the Hebei team may follow the previous preparation strategy. In view of the recent epidemic in Langfang, Hebei, the whole region sealed control, not conducive to training, the team is likely to be in the Super League region and the schedule is determined in advance of the region to find venues, carry out 1-2 weeks of training, and then open the new season.
The good news is that head coach Kim Jong-woo has returned to Guangzhou from South Korea and started to undergo quarantine against epidemics. This is seen as an important signal that the team will continue to play in the Chinese Super League. However, several of Kim's Korean assistants have not been able to return home for the time being due to various reasons.
In terms of players, according to Hebei, the team will focus on young players in the new season. Most of the high-paid players may return to the team or terminate their contracts, Wang Qiuming has trained with the Tianjin team, Yin Hongbo and Hu Rentian may move to Meizhou and Wuhan teams. Returning to the team are Zhang Chengdong, Renhang, Zhao Yuhao, free agents Geng Xiaofeng and Feng Gang, while veterans such as Ding Haifeng and Pan Ximing will still hold their ground.
In terms of foreign aid, Memisevic, who has a contract in place, has been loaned to Beijing Guoan, which only needs to bear Memi's salary and does not need to pay the loan fee. This shows that Hebei's financial situation is not optimistic. Unless they can bring in quality foreign aid at a low price before the start of the season, Hebei is likely to meet the challenge of the new season with a full Chinese squad.
