The new season of the Chinese Super League is about to start, and the changes in Beijing Guoan have undoubtedly become the focus of my attention. I heard that Guoan is going to play three central defenders this year, and as an old fan, this makes me both excited and a little apprehensive. After all, change always comes with unknowns and risks.
The team's new tactical set-up does sound exciting. Coach Suarez has been making changes since he took over, from possession to aggressive attack, and it is clear that he wants to forge his own style of football at Guoan. The winter training in Portugal is said to have achieved remarkable results, and the team's playing style has changed greatly.
In terms of new reinforcements, Guoan has also made a bloody investment. The additions of Guga and Traore show the improvement of the team's strength and tactical diversity. Traore, in particular, has a crucial role in the three-centre-back system and I am personally looking forward to seeing what he does in the new season.
On the offensive line, coach Suarez seems to have more options, and the competition between Adebenro and Jiang Xiangyou will be a highlight of the new season. Fabio's injury is worrying, but fortunately, we still have Zhang Yuning, Yang Liyu and Lin Liangming, and the attack power is still very guaranteed.
The first game of the new season against the Cangzhou Lions, this game is of great significance to Guoan. After three tutorial matches, the team's lineup and style of play should have taken shape, and I expect Guoan to show the power of the new tactics in this game and get off to a good start.
Change always takes time to adapt and adjust, but as a fan, I'm more looking forward to the new season. I hope that Guoan can play a wonderful game under the new tactical system and bring us more surprises. After all, no matter what the outcome, the heart to support national security will never change. Let's work together in the new season!
