Reporter Liu Xiangyu reportsGuoan is currently training in Guangzhou, after the reinforcement of personnel, the team has shown a new look, the club has renewed the contract of coach Suarez, after a full winter training, he will make his mark on Guoan. 
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Guoan officially announced 5 new signings in one go, Gu Jia, Traoré, Lin Liangming, He Yupeng, and Zhang Yixuan joined. For Guoan fans, the rumored selection of the tree is the best "New Year's gift". With the end of the recruitment, Guoan's new season squad has also surfaced. It is reported that the introduction of reinforcements during the winter break was completely led by Suarez, who put forward the demand, circled the list, and the club completed the introduction work as quickly as possible. In terms of domestic aid, Lin Liangming and He Yupeng joined two internationals, both of whom are big fish in the transfer market, and it is not easy for Guoan to include them under his command. They are all plug-and-play types, with the ability to play the main force, and were affirmed by Suarez during the winter training; The teenager Zhang Yixuan is the best central defender in the 04 age group, and he is the main force of the national brand. 
In terms of foreign aid, Guoan introduced Guga and Traoré, the former is a midfielder thigh and the team's metronome; The latter is a central defender, and his arrival means that Guoan will use a combination of foreign aid and double central defenders in the new season. It is reported that this is what Suarez meant, after the end of last season, he proposed to strengthen the central defender, but the top domestic central defender is difficult to leverage, and finally decided to bring in another foreign aid. Suarez has a good eye for foreign players, and Fabio, who was brought in last year, was a big success. At present, the staffing of all positions in Guoan has been improved, and the competition in the midfield is particularly fierce, and even Zhang Yuning has felt the pressure of competition. In defence, two newcomers joined, Traore will be paired with Ngadewu, and if he plays three central defenders, Zhang Chengdong can also occupy a position. In addition, the reinforcement of the central defender means that Yu Dabao will return to the front court in the new season; In the fullback position, Guoan has Li Lei, Wang Gang, He Yupeng, Jiang Wenhao, Feng Boxuan, among which the new recruit He Yupeng performed very well in the winter training, his style type, is what Suarez likes, and in the new season, he may get a main position. Guoan midfielder has always been full of talents, after the arrival of Gujia, he can partner Li Ke, Zhang Yuan, Chi Zhongguo, and after Zhang Xizhe lifts the ban, he can enrich his playing style; Cao Yongjing performed well in winter training after his return and won the opportunity to stay in the team; In addition, Nguyen Chi Long is likely to appear in the No. 6 position in the new season. 
The competition in the front court is the most fierce, after the arrival of Lin Liangming, the 97 national youth trident (plus Zhang Yuning, Yang Liyu) combined; Fabio did well last year; Coupled with Fang Hao and others, everyone has to compete for posts, and Suarez is faced with a choice. At present, there is still a pending candidate for Guoan, that is, the fifth foreign aid. Jiang Xiangyou has been training with the team and has performed well, but Suarez believes that Adebenro is more characteristic in the winger position, and now, several European teams have handed Adebenro a contract, Jiang Xiangyou also has a team, and several parties are in contact, and who can appear in the new season squad of Guoan has not yet been decided. In addition to Gao Tianyi's visit to Shenhua, several young players such as Nabijiang, Duan Dezhi and Yan Yu will also be loaned out to practice and seek more opportunities to play. 
The national security winter training is divided into three phases, the first stage is in Beijing, which is mainly for physical recovery and reserves; The second stage went to Portugal for training, focusing on polishing skills and tactics and teaching competitions, and the first two stages have ended; The third phase of winter training was held in Guangzhou. Suarez is very satisfied with the first two phases that have ended, the team's tactical play is gradually taking shape, the quality of the teaching matches is very high, and the process is good, and the expected results have been achieved. In addition, the Guoan players were not affected by injuries during the winter training, only Cao Yongjing suffered a little muscle strain but recovered quickly, which shows that the whole team is fully prepared for the winter training. Suarez took over midway through last year and gradually instilled his coaching philosophy and branded Guoan as Portuguese. After a complete winter training, Suarez's imprint will be more obvious, and Guoan should speed up as a whole, emphasizing the speed of offensive and defensive conversion, and it must be fast. Guoan played 433 last year, and this year will continue this formation, using the 352, three central defender system in some games, and has also practiced during the winter training. 
At Suarez's request, the defence will be more aggressive, with the centre-back being the first link in the attacking organisation; The biggest difference between the midfield and the past is that Guoan will no longer pursue more individual possession of the ball and reduce the time of holding the ball, which is the trend of world football. Suarez is a typical new European coach, and his technical and tactical concepts and training methods are also in line with the trend. During his time in Portugal, Guoan's teaching match has played what he wants, the pace of the game is fast, the efficiency of defending and attacking is very high, the confrontation is more intense, and even the players have reacted, and this kind of football is "very enjoyable" to play. Defensively emphasizing integrity and conversion, Suarez is very pragmatic in attack, and the goal is to score more goals in the most direct way. It is reported that Guoan will no longer rely on the traditional No. 10 position, and it can be said that no player will be the core of the team, and the team will use the overall pressure to complete the attack. In addition, whether it is three forwards or two center forwards in the frontcourt, Guoan has enough family foundation. Due to the punishment he received last season, Zhang Xizhe's suspension will continue, and he will not be able to play in the first three rounds of the Chinese Super League. At present, Guoan's new tactical system has greatly reduced the impact of Zhang Xizhe's absence, and his comeback will bring changes to Guoan's offensive end, and of course, he will also face fierce competition for positions. 
Guoan is currently undergoing winter training in Guangzhou, with a complete squad and no injuries. According to the plan, Guoan will play a teaching match with several low-level teams such as Yunnan Yukun in Guangzhou, and while further grinding the lineup and building tactics, Suarez hopes to let the whole team find the actual combat feeling of the league as soon as possible. Guoan's winter training at this stage ends at the end of February, and then the team flies to Daxing Airport, but does not stop in Beijing, and goes directly to the first away stadium to start the league journey. According to the schedule, Guoan will play Cangzhou for the first time on March 2. Whether in terms of team strength or new season recruitment, Guoan is far better than Cangzhou, but the first game is usually more accidental, and it is an away game, Guoan needs to be extra careful and strive to get a good start. 
The second and third rounds were also away from home, against Taishan and Three Towns respectively. The strength of the two opponents is in the first group, which is particularly critical to play Mount Tai, if Guoan wins Cangzhou in the first battle, this battle can score points on Mount Tai, and the morale of the next three towns will rise. The league started with three consecutive away games, first weak and then strong, Guoan needs to quickly enter the rhythm of the game, and playing these three games well will set the tone for the entire first half. Guoan's first home game is the fourth round against Harbour, if the first three rounds are played, the pressure to return to the Gongti will not be too great, and strive to overturn the defending champion, in that case, Guoan will enter the fast lane. 
It can be said that Guoan's 2024 is full of highlights. In the new season and new lineup, on the premise that the problems left over from history have been solved, Guoan should come up with a more dazzling report card. From the club's point of view, Guoan has three goals for the new season. At the top of the list is definitely the results, both in the first team and in the academy. It should be said that Guoan is now strong and strong, and in horizontal comparison, it is in the first group with Haigang, Taishan, Shenhua, and Rongcheng, and it can be wrestled with them. Guoan's goal last year was to return to the AFC Champions League, but unfortunately it was not achieved, and this year at least this task must be completed, while pursuing better results. The same is true for youth training, but the standards are different, youth training is mainly based on cultivating talents, Guoan needs to cultivate more seedlings that can be used by the first team, and continue to transfuse blood to the first team and the national brand, and there are good, school-age players who meet the standards can also be sent overseas for training. Youth training is a systematic project, Guoan has built the system through the efforts of the past few years, and now, it is time for results.
Secondly, in the new year, the club should realize social value inside and outside the stadium, more reflect the social responsibility of a professional club, and use the influence of national security to drive more young people to like football; In addition, the club and its players are actively involved in public causes. Thirdly, the club should continue to work hard in the direction of benign operation and improve its own hematopoietic function through commercial development. In the 2023 season, Guoan's business development will be at the forefront of the Chinese Super League, with a box office income of 80 million, which is not only the top of the Chinese Super League, but also among the best in Asia. The new Gongti has become a landmark building in Beijing, and tens of thousands of people pour into the stadium every game day, and the economy has brought huge growth points to Guoan on game days. Guoan is still using its brains to implement more IP to generate revenue. If the surrounding businesses of the new Gongti can start operating this year as expected, it will greatly ease the pressure on the parent group. In addition, the Chinese Super League is fully open to naming, and Guoan is also actively looking for a suitable title sponsor. The cold winter has passed, and the 2024 season is waiting for the flowers to bloom.
