National security dilemma: The naturalized goalkeeper failed to join, Nabijiang stayed in the team as a substitute, and the coach asked for pressure
In the minds of Beijing Guoan fans, the ambitions for the new season seem to have suffered a series of setbacks. From the failure of the naturalized goalkeeper to the retention of Nabijiang as a substitute, to the coach's own pressure, all kinds of predicaments seem to have unexpectedly enveloped this team. Guoan always cherishes the dream of striving for the first, but the reality is always in stark contrast with the dream.
As the transfer deadline approaches, the failure of naturalized goalkeeper Zheng Turo has become the focus of fans' attention. Although he has arrived, he has not signed a contract with Guoan, which means that the original plan cannot be implemented smoothly. It is a shame that a number of goalkeepers were sent away, and the planned new signings were not brought in as scheduled.
However, from another point of view, Guoan still has goalkeepers such as Hou Sen and Han Jiaqi to choose from. Although Zheng Turo's arrival did not materialize, the team's goalkeeper configuration has not fallen into a real crisis.
Nabijiang's decision to stay in the team was also a surprise. Originally, he was planned to go on loan for training, but negotiations with several teams were unsuccessful, and he ended up staying in Beijing Guoan. As a leader in the academy, Nabijiang's position may no longer be the main force, but he still has a certain value in the team. Whether playing at left-back or wing-back, Nabijan is up to the task and can compete with other players for a place on the bench.
However, it also highlights the double-edged sword of playing in a big team. At Guoan, competition is fierce, and even the best players can be reduced to substitutes. This is undoubtedly a challenge for Nabijan.
Giving up Jiang Xiangyou became a decision for Suarez. In his interview, he made it clear that this was due to an assessment of the player's ability and a tactical need. Although such a decision could put more pressure on him, Suarez chose to stick to his judgment rather than be swayed by outside voices.
The 35-year-old has signed a four-year contract extension with Guoan, which means he may be past his old age after the end of his contract. But his contribution to Guoan is undeniable, not only did he give his best on the pitch, but he also showed his responsibility as an iconic player in the team.
General Manager Li Ming's statement also shows the current predicament of Guoan. Although the team still has ambitions, the decision to abandon the title and adjust the title goal shows an objective understanding of the current situation.
Guoan's predicament did not happen overnight, and the adjustment of foreign players, the retention of players and the decisions of the coaching staff all directly affected the team's results. In the new season, Guoan is facing many challenges, and how to adjust tactics and make reasonable use of existing resources will be the top priority for the team.
Despite the difficulties, as a top team, Guoan still has enough strength and potential. Only with unity and concerted efforts can we overcome the difficulties in front of us and move towards the goal.
On March 2, Guoan will play Cangzhou away, and this game will undoubtedly be an important game for them in the new season. Against a strong opposition, the team will need to go all out and fight for a win to lay a solid foundation for the new season.
In the future competition, Guoan needs to unite more closely, carry forward the team spirit, meet every challenge with tenacious will and courage, turn the predicament into the motivation for victory, and continue to write its own glorious chapter.
