Cao Yongjing says Beijing Guoan went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Han Jiaqi keeps Beijing Guoan in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Serginho 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.

Lin Liangming beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Beijing Guoan lose Han Zilong

25 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Yao Boqing wants to come home

“I did not go to Dalian Yingbo to sit and watch. I want to come back to Beijing Guoan and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Zhang Weijie on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Zhang Weijie after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Beijing Guoan pick somebody else ahead of Wang Gang

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Hou Sen

“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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad3 Aug 2026

A career in one shirt: Hou Sen

21 seasons and 143 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Jiang Wenhao hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Beijing Guoan can pretend not to have heard.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Guilherme Ramos signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Guilherme Ramos commits to Beijing Guoan for another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Fábio Abreu 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Home is on Dawhan'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; Beijing Guoan are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Nurali attracts admirers

The name of Nurali has come up in conversations Beijing Guoan were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

The manager makes an example of Serginho

“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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Beijing Guoan and Gustavo

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Fábio Abreu 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.
