Market15 Jan 2029

Lu Junwei asks to leave Beijing Guoan

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad15 Jan 2029

Uroš Spajić 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 Beijing Guoan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Shanghai Port tell Beijing Guoan: Yue Xin is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad15 Jan 2029

A row about effort at Beijing Guoan

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Wei Shihao was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets15 Jan 2029

Beijing Guoan ask about Valentín Catalán

A loan enquiry to Comunicaciones: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout15 Jan 2029

Wei Shihao gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Wei Shihao is on it.

Nurali gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market15 Jan 2029

The Maidana talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Beijing Guoan know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad15 Jan 2029

A season on the outside for Maidana

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Beijing Guoan has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Squad27 Nov 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Li Lei

14 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Beijing Guoan lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match27 Nov 2028

Beijing Guoan are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 59 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad27 Nov 2028

A falling-out at Beijing Guoan

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

Squad27 Nov 2028

Uroš Spajić falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad27 Nov 2028

Fu Yixiang signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Fu Yixiang commits to Beijing Guoan for another 3 years.

The dugout27 Nov 2028

When it matters, Béni N'Kololo plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market27 Nov 2028

The Zhang Yuning talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Beijing Guoan know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout27 Nov 2028

The manager makes an example of Lu Junwei

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout27 Nov 2028

Nurali knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Beijing Guoan, and both men came out saying it was fine.
