From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Feng Jin breaks a bone — 105 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 105 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

Changchun Yatai out of the cup

Tianjin Jinmen Tiger ended it 2‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Player ratings

Ma Boqing scores twice — 8.41

Two goals and a mark of 8.41 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Yan Zhiyu puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Changchun Yatai, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A falling-out at Changchun Yatai

Bi Jinhao and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

A move Yang Zhanpeng would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Yang Zhanpeng is living that version at Changchun Yatai, and it tends to show in the first month.

Boardroom

The numbers do not look good at Changchun Yatai

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Match

Martín Yapura’s goal not enough for Changchun Yatai

Martín Yapura scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Shandong Taishan, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The terraces

Changchun Yatai supporters have found a favourite in Ma Boqing

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 14-year-old it feels ownership of. Ma Boqing has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Transfer targets

Andrés Ponce turns down Changchun Yatai

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Academia Puerto Cabello keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Market

Juan Camilo Salazar’s move to Shandong Taishan falls through

The deal that would have taken Juan Camilo Salazar to Shandong Taishan has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Changchun Yatai with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Boardroom

Changchun Yatai close the window on a squad of their own making

24 in and 25 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets

Gustavo Talles due for a Changchun Yatai medical

Everything agreed with Chapecoense, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom

Juan Camilo Salazar has agreed to leave Changchun Yatai for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad

A falling-out at Changchun Yatai

Bi Jinhao and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom

Changchun Yatai beat the market to Mao Weijie from Dalian Yingbo

Dalian Yingbo will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Mao Weijie has pre-agreed a move to Changchun Yatai, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Transfer targets

Changchun Yatai rebuffed over Jeremías Castro

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. San Martín SJ have kept their man, and Changchun Yatai go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

Shanghai Port take the points off Changchun Yatai

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match

Changchun Yatai bow out of the cup

Henan FC go through and Changchun Yatai go home, 1‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Player ratings

Ma Boqing could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.64

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.64, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Transfer targets

Changchun Yatai bid $5.0M for Andrés Ponce

The offer went to Academia Puerto Cabello this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad

Words exchanged at Changchun Yatai

Bi Jinhao and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Bruno Nazário

Changchun Yatai asked and Henan FC said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The terraces

One of their own: Ma Boqing

He is 14 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Changchun Yatai find a way past Wuhan Three Towns

Wuhan Three Towns made Changchun Yatai work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market

Still no ink between Changchun Yatai and Deng Hanwen

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Changchun Yatai, another week without a signature from Deng Hanwen.

Player ratings

Ohi Omoijuanfo stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.85 on the card, and the Changchun Yatai support went home talking about one name.

In brief

  • Squad Changchun Yatai are still strangers to each other
  • Transfer targets A loan move for Gustavo Talles is in the works
  • The dugout The view from the dugout

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Beijing Guoan come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Changchun Yatai did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

Changchun Yatai baulk at the price for Óscar Melendo

Shanghai Port wanted more than $2.6M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad

Bi Jinhao in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Changchun Yatai this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A move Huang Zihao would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Huang Zihao is living that version at Changchun Yatai, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Home is on Juan Camilo Salazar's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Changchun Yatai are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Fu Huan signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Fu Huan commits to Changchun Yatai for another 2 years.

Boardroom

Feng Jin will join Changchun Yatai for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Feng Jin has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Changchun Yatai have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Transfer targets

Changchun Yatai rebuffed over Douglas Nogueira

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Goiânia have kept their man, and Changchun Yatai go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

Changchun Yatai promote He Lei from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. He Lei has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief
