Guoan locked in the main new reinforcements, and the big fish snatched from Luneng performed well, not wrong!
Beijing Guoan, led by head coach Luis Suarez, played two friendlies against Europa League powerhouse Slavia Prague to test the results of their recent training. Guoan lined up in the first game against Slavia Prague and won 1-0 thanks to a goal from striker Abreu. Suarez made several substitutions in the second half and gave playing time to the two new signings, Li Lei and Zhang Yuning.
Guoan did not play well in the first half and were beaten 3-1 by Slavia Prague. Next, Guoan made some small changes, sending out players who did not play in the first game and played a game against Slavia Prague. Guoan played well in this game, forcing the team to 0-0 in a fierce 90-minute battle. Guoan's performance in the first two rounds was not bad, giving fans some expectations.
Slavia Prague, rivals of Nationals, are a team that regularly plays in the Europa League, and their overall level is still very high. Guoan's newly signed He Yupeng quickly occupied the main force after joining, which fully shows that he has won Suarez's trust. As the backbone of the national team, He Yupeng is also the expectation of the fans. It is worth mentioning that before joining Guoan, He Yupeng was also rumored to transfer to Taishan.
Several newspapers in Shandong even swore that He Yupeng was exercising with Mount Tai. It turned out that He Yupeng was not going to Mount Tai, he was coming to Guoan. Guoan is always hoping to find a replacement for Wang Gang's right midfielder. As a result, He Yupeng has become the number one target of this team.
Since Guoan poached He Yupeng from Taishan, Suarez has been very optimistic about the strength of this player. Suarez is expecting He Yupeng to carry the team's banner, and at the same time, he made an excellent contribution to the national security in the game against Slavia Prague. I hope He Yupeng can maintain his good performance and lead the team to a higher position in the new season.
