Chinese Super League/AFC Champions League 2013

a problem in chinese football:
breaking the the simple rules.
日前，武汉卓尔队主帅郑雄在率队抵达昆明冬训后就颁布了新队规，要求队员“不吸烟，不喝酒，不泡夜店”，如有违反将重罚。郑雄表示，现在这支武汉队不是中超里的强队，但一定是最有战斗力、最团结的球队，这都需要纪律来做保证。

Recently, Wuhan Zall's coach Zheng Xiong set a new rules for team in the Kunming winter practice. The rules are: "no smoking, no drinking, no nightclubs". Anyone who breaks those rules will be in heavy fraction. Zheng Xiong acknowledges that this Wuhan team isn't the strongest in CSL..but it needs to have the best mentality and team work (which will be proven through discipline).
上赛季初，作为领队的郑雄抵达广东清远和球队会合后，当晚就去查房，结果发现有队员在房间喝酒吃夜宵，有的队员房间抽屉里有香烟。“当时我是领队，第二天我就跟他们说了，我要斗争到底，把你们这些恶习灭掉。”他这样告诉记者。

At the beginning of last season, Zheng Xiong went to Guangdong Qingyuan to visit the team, he was doing routine inspection at night time, and found players drinking and eating late night dinner. Some of the players have cigarettes in their drawers. "I was the lead during that time, after that day, I told them, I will fight till the end to change your bad behaviours", Zheng told the reporters.
接手球队近一年，球队内部在这些方面已经有所改观，不过在近期的队会上，他要求队员在平时不抽烟、不喝酒、不泡夜店，简称“三不政策”。“其实，这些都是对职业运动员最基本的要求。本来这个要求我不应该提，但我们有的队员做不到，所以我不得不再次申明。”
Now Zheng Xiong has been with the team for one year, there was improvement in the team. He mentioned that the "three rules" are the most basic and don't need to be mentioned to the team..but sadly some Wuhan Zall players still break the rules, so Zheng need to work on the discipline again.

 

east asia is really an exception. which chinese coaches would dare to use so many youth players?
too bad there isn't alot of xu genbao in china, and he is 70 year-old now. if we have more xu genbao, who puts an avid interest in developing chinese players, there would be a good twist in chinese football.

i know there is a small team in brazil and a larger team (china dream team) in portugal now.
i am worried about those players not having enough first team football.
i have no information about the brazil team. for those players in portugal, they need more first team experience.

up to now, only li yuanyi has consistent playing time. other players like jing luo/ruan yang are not having enough. as one senior player said, "if those chinese players are not having playing time in portugal, they might as well come back to china since they don't learn anything".

 

ODDITY: TANG MIAO'S EIGHT-YEAR CONTRACT IS ON VERGE TO BE INVALID

we see messi sign long term contract with barcelona, but has anyone seen an eight-year contract before?
tang miao signed an eight-year contract with guangzhou fuli, and he said he is willing to stay at fuli that long to become a legend in the team.

however, it was mentioned that CFA condemned the contract, saying the maximum length for each contract is five years. the verdict on the contract will be announced after the chinese new year holiday.

if the eight-year contract is deemed to be invalid, it is most likely that tang miao will become a free agent. tang miao has been linked with dalian aerbin lately, with tang miao being a dalian native, this is a possible move.

real madrid wish everyone happy chinese new year.

 

because of the above incident, Xu Hong (the Dalian Aerbin coach) was banned for five years.
his position has been terminated by Dalian Aerbin, and a new coach will be coming soon.

 

Gao Hongbo has been hired by Beijing Baxy as Technical Director.
Baxy's Taiwanese player Chen Haowei just extended his contract, with two more Taiwanese players joining the team (name in pinyin: Chen Yuehan, Wen Zhihao)

 

oh gosh it's xfactoreightfiveseven.

!

ok every bigsoccer members, old and new, please line up in single-file and respectfully bow down and worship this guy here.
he is possibly the oldest and "still alive" long term chinese football fan here.
shanghai-biased? yes. witty-type humour? yes.

even your ass-mod ntg. needs to pay him respect.

 

shenhua will have the best defending stats with that legendary 40 year old.

 

liaoning?
beijing?
i think CFA will just void the 2003 title.

in another news, yanbian said the fine is too much and potentially terminate the club's operation. they will appeal next week.

 

shanghai shenhua's another rather-bizarre signing.
the club signed a 21-year old player named wang zhenyu.
he is semi-professional and worked as a sales manager.
the shenhua coach spotted him during a friendly, and he will be playing as DMF.

not sure what the club expects from him..

 

FRIENDLY REMINDER:

this week (few days later)
Asian Champions League will start, and you can see your beloved Chinese teams playing again.
