See the video of Guoan’s 9:1 victory over Shanghai Shenhua

If we were to draw a straight line in the professional league history of Beijing Guoan, 1997 was definitely a hurdle. Before 1997, Guoan was dominant. Although it was not as good as Dalian in terms of league results, it was definitely a dominant player in terms of popularity among domestic fans. When games were played on a neutral ground, fans could cheer for Guoan enthusiastically. Apart from this, The media in Beijing is concentrated and their voices are loud. The personal charm of these players is also one of them. In 1996, there were seven players on the national team's roster, unlike now.

However, after the Workers' Stadium defeated Shanghai Shenhua to win the FA Cup in 1997, the old Guoan team disintegrated. Jin Zhiyang left, and a group of idol players also left Beijing to find their destination elsewhere. .

As Gao Hongbo led the team into the Chinese Super League and Xie Feng was promoted to the head coach of the Shenzhen Jianlibao team, people can't help but think of the batch of national security heroes before 1997. What are they doing today?

Jiang Bin: No. 6 when he worked in the Guoan youth department (1995)

He was the first to leave the Guoan team in 1996. He was a bridge and helped a lot The people from Lao Guoan went to Qianwei Island, but unlike those leaves that floated out, Jiang Bin floated back to Guoan. Now he is a staff member of the youth department of Beijing Guoan Club, helping Hong Yuanshuo, director of the youth department, to coordinate the work of three youth teams and seven football schools.

Gao Hongbo: The ups and downs of the marshal, who was number 18 (1996)

Gao Hongbo’s experience after leaving Beijing was obviously the most complicated. He first helped his mentor Xu Genbao Successfully promoted to the Chinese Super League, and then replaced Tavares as the head coach of Songri. After leading the team to improvement and victory, he took the initiative to leave because of conflicts with management and felt that he could not control the team.

Then he experienced an unforgettable Waterloo. When leading the national junior team in 1999, they lost to the Japanese team 0:7. This is the worst loss for any national team in the past 25 years.

After Xu Genbao resumed classes, Gao Hongbo continued to go to Shanghai to play for the team. What he needed was to study, and he knew that he needed to study, because after all, he liked football and wanted to eat football.

After competing for the national team in 2003, Gao Hongbo had a hard time getting along with Hahn, so he went to Xiamen. It is better to be a prince on one side than to be an unranked instructor in the Central Forbidden Army.

Gao Hongbo already has enough capital at the age of 40. He was an outstanding forward when he was a player. He studied abroad. Although it was only in Singapore, he still had overseas experience. He has served as the first-level business officer of the national youth team, the assistant coach of the national adult men's football team, and also led the Chinese League One team to the Super League. Among the younger generation of coaches, he has English skills. These advantages make him a bright future.

Gaofeng: He broke into the entertainment industry with the number 11 (1996)

Although Gao Feng has left the football circle, he is still alive in the entertainment industry. His marriage and divorce with China's number one singing queen Na Ying, and even Wang Nawen's illegitimate child disputes have become the talk of the town, which is definitely extraordinary in the Chinese Super League.

Playing golf in his spare time

His usual job is to attend a football gathering with old friends, play a game, and even appear on a show as a guest. Now he is even more Like an apartment that doesn't cause trouble. What hasn't changed is that he still drinks heavily and is still generous with his friends.

Fu Bin: Teaching the number 1 to children in the national youth team (1997)

Fu Bin was idle for a while after retiring from Chongqing. When the national team played in Changsha last year He also came to catch up with the team's coaches and players. In the coaching staff of the National Youth Team announced by the Chinese Football Association not long ago, he was named on the list and served as the goalkeeper coach of the National Youth Team.

Liu Jianjun: The U14 kid in the football school was numbered No. 2 (1997)

In 1999, he was loaned to Yunnan Hongta for a year and returned to Beijing Guoan in 2000. , Liu Jianjun was unable to become the main force due to fierce competition within the team and the turmoil in Jolic. I had no choice but to follow Guo Ruilong to Chengdu in 2001, and finally hung up his boots at Wuniu.

Currently Liu Jianjun is the coach of the Guoan echelon and works with Nanfang in youth work at the Sanfang Football School.

Xie Chaoyang: Number 3 when he was the coach of the National Exhibition Center (1997)

Xie Chaoyang, known as Brother Bao, left the team in 2003. As a player in Beijing A veteran guard and captain, he has always been popular. His current destination is a department manager at the National Exhibition Center, where he usually sits in a suit and shirt in the office. But of course, the company's leader wanted him to still use his old skills, so the football team at the National Exhibition Center was coached by Xie, and the weekly training was decent.

Han Xu: Put on a suit and start buying tickets, number 4 of the year (1997)

Han Xu, who is 1.85 meters tall, puts on a suit and has a half-shaved cheek. The beard actually looks very cool. When the Hyundai team played Shenzhen at home this year, he sat on the sidelines dressed like this and watched Guo Ruilong and Xie Feng with a smile.

After retiring from the Hyundai team last year, Han Xu became the sports project director of New Era Culture Company. His main job is to undertake business work for various sports events. This is not the case with the international badminton and tennis events held in Beijing this year. Ticketing is all about him.

Li Hongjun: He was doing business for the second time and started his own business. His number was No. 5 (1997).

Li Hongjun retired from Chengdu Wuniu. His idea of ??leaving Beijing at that time was very simple, that is, he could not be a businessman. Substitute, want to play football. However, after retiring, Li Hongjun did not return to Yanbian, nor did he stay in Sichuan. Instead, he returned to Beijing and took root here.

He had a less successful business venture. I am now embarking on my second venture, hoping to gain something from it.

Wei Kexing: Beijing Hyundai’s deputy general manager, number 6 (1997)

A veteran who stayed in Beijing. Here, Wei Kexing's job has been relatively stable. He replaced Shen Xiangfu as coach and won the runner-up in the FA Cup. Assisting Peter, he supported Yang Zuwu at the last moment, allowing Guoan to taste the FA Cup championship again. .

He is now the deputy general manager of Beijing Guoan Club and the team leader of Beijing Hyundai Team.

He is Shen Xiangfu’s partner in the first team. He also took charge of the affairs of the second, third and fourth tier youth teams.

Xie Feng: This coach is not good at being No. 7 (in 1997).

Xie Feng was like that when he was a player. Known for his good temper and easy to unite people, when the old Guoan players were about to transfer and leave Beijing, Jin Zhiyang only found Xie Feng to do his job, hoping that he could stay and retire in Beijing, "I also wanted to be a coach. "Beijing", but Xie Feng, who wanted to continue playing, still left.

Now that he has taken over Guo Ruilong's coaching position, it is a bit like Gao Hongbo taking over Songri. The conflict between the players and the management is still there, and it is not him. The coach can easily solve it.

He can only arouse the dissatisfaction of the players by asking for benefits from the management.

So, thank you. Feng's job prospects are not clear.

Cao Xiandong: Director of the Cultural Company, No. 8 (1997)

Although he still plays football from time to time, the former Guoan midfielder Soul Cao Xiandong has gained weight now. After leaving Guoan, he was first intercepted by Qingdao during the transfer and played out of town for a year. Then he returned to Beijing in 1999 and joined the then A-B Kuanli team for two years.

After Kuanli was relegated in 2000, Cao Xiandong took over and became the head coach. In the second division league in 2001, they lost on penalties to the Liaoning Youth Team, which had Xu Liang and Wang Liang at the time. After being sold to Tianjin, Cao Xiandong joined a cultural agency founded by Kuanli General Manager Dong Yugang as a director, and occasionally served as an image ambassador.

Wang Tao (big): A football coach who has experienced ups and downs. No. 9 (1997)

As the first high-priced domestic aid introduced by the Beijing team with 660,000 yuan, Wang Tao (big) joined the Bayi team after leaving the Beijing team in 1999. After retiring, he finally joined the Bayi team in 2004 In 2006, he became the head coach of the Shaanxi National Team.

Unfortunately, the team was inherently deficient, had insufficient investment, and had many conflicts between labor and management, making it impossible for him to continue. He could only leave get out of class and go to Hunan to be the head coach and assistant coach of the second team.

But the Hunan Army is simply the second most powerful team in Shaanxi. After the team's fourth coaching change in June, he was promoted as the head coach. But the solution to the investment problem of this team is still mysterious and legendary.

Yang Chen: The time for the model player to hang up his boots is approaching the number 10 of the year (1997)

Yang Chen left Beijing for Germany in 1998. His four years of overseas football glory in Germany , Chinese fans are all familiar with it. His 12 goals in the Bundesliga are still the highest number of goals scored by overseas players in top foreign leagues.

After returning to China in 2003, Yang Chen joined the Shenzhen Jianlibao team, where he was regarded as a role model for players by Zhu Guanghu and Guo Ruilong. In the conflict between the players and Chi Shangbin at the beginning of this year, Yang Chen's statement was more acceptable to everyone because of his good image.

Judging from his age, Yang Chen’s retirement should not be far away. He has always hoped to continue doing football-related work after retirement, such as becoming a coach.

Hu Jianping: Waiting for new opportunities No. 12 (1997)

Hu Jianping stayed in Beijing after retiring. As a college student at a regular university, he hopes to develop a coaching career Make a difference and lead a team of your own.

However, because Beijing Hyundai first had Wei Kexing compete with him, and then the return of Shen Xiangfu made his chances even slimmer, so Hu Jianping selected two useful foreign aids, Yelic and Alex, for the Hyundai team. He left the coaching staff of the Hyundai team and chose to become a coach of the national team, seeking opportunities in a different way.

However, he only served as the coach of the 08 Stars. After a short period of study with the National Youth Team, he lost the opportunity to continue with the team due to the internal work adjustment of the Football Association.

Currently, he is still a staff member of the Guoan Club, waiting for the call from the Chinese Football Association or Guoan.

Lu Jun: The number 13 of the year when the Guoan Third Team cultivated its reserve force (1997)

Lu Jun is now the head coach of the Beijing Hyundai Third Team and is responsible for cultivating the reserves of the Beijing team. Talent, Zhu Yifan in his team served as the midfield processor of the national junior team in the recent World Youth Championship, and it was even rumored that Real Madrid wanted to buy him and train him.

In the Zhengzhou Domestic Youth U19 Winners Cup that just ended in September this year, he led the modern third team to win the championship, and Li Hongzhe, who was spotted by the national youth team, was also a member of his team.

Zhou Ning: Number 14 when he registered the company and became his own boss (1997)

Zhou Ning left the team in the middle of last year because he got into trouble with Yang Zuwu. At the end of the year Guoan Club did not renew his contract, but he quickly registered a company called Chengxin Shengshi Sports Culture one month later and became the general manager.

The first "Modern Xinfa" Cup futsal match was organized in Beijing right after the company opened. Since we have a good reputation in Beijing, we are familiar with the route, and friends from the press also gave us face, so the match was well organized. Prosperous, it can be considered a small success.

Deng Lejun: Changed his profession and became an amateur golfer. His number was No. 15 (1997).

After leaving Guoan and going to Shandong, Miller did live for one year, scoring and assisting all in Shandong. He is far ahead in the team, and his beard and cool look have fascinated many Shandong girls. After traveling around Germany but failing to realize his dream of studying abroad, Deng Lejun returned to Beijing. What he often does now is participate in various amateur golf invitational tournaments in Beijing. When asked about his level, he will say: I am at least better than Gao Feng.

The two of them are considered close friends.

Li Hongzheng: Number 16 when he switched to five-a-side and became an amateur coach (1997)

It is not easy to find Li Hongzheng now. He is considered the smaller one among the group. , the thin boy back then has now become a fat boy.

After joining Changchun Yatai in 1999, he subsequently became the captain's extra scorer.

In the 22nd round of League B in 2001, Greentown’s 0-6 match against Yatai was deemed by the Chinese Football Association to have serious disciplinary violations. Therefore, all their players on the field became targets of punishment and were suspended for one year. After helping Yatai win the A-B championship in 2003, he retired and returned to Beijing. He first played five-a-side and entered the five-a-side national team, but failed in the Asian qualifiers. After that, he completely left the front line.

Now in Beijing, Li Hongzheng serves as the coach of several amateur teams, that is, giving guidance during temporary games. They are all football people and cannot live without them.

Xu Yang: When he became a reporter for a newspaper, he lost his number 17 (1997)

When he was a player, Xu Yang once wrote as a special reporter for "Beijing Football" Training diary. At that time, this Beijing newspaper asked many Guoan players to write articles. Frankly speaking, many of their articles were really graffiti. The editor had to call and ask and guess before he could edit an article. Only Xu Yang’s The ideas are clear and the writing is smooth, requiring almost no revisions.

From Bayi to Guoan, to Shandong, and then back to Bayi to retire, Xu Yang has come full circle. Being in Guoan was the pinnacle of his football career, because it was in Guoan that he entered the national team, and because it was in Guoan that he could move to Shandong at a sky-high price.

This year, he accepted the appointment of the famous reporter Dong Lu and became a reporter for "Youth Sports·Beijing Football", setting a precedent for a men's national football team to be a reporter (the women's football team already has Sun Wen). Unfortunately, the depression in the football environment and the newspaper industry has prevented this newspaper sponsored by China Youth Daily from surviving. It officially ceased publication two weeks ago, and Xu Yang can only be "unemployed."

Wang Shaolei: The general manager of Guoan’s fourth team had the number 18 (1997)

At Guoan’s Xianghe base, you can always see four different teams training, and Wang Shaolei is alone. It is the entire coaching staff of the fourth team of Hyundai. He is not only the physical coach leading the team to run, but also the referee and head coach to talk about the ball. After that, he also asks the goalkeeper to save an extra set of shots.

Many people say that he is strict with his children, but the reporter seems to have fewer wrinkles on his face than when he was a player.

Yu Guang: When he was still a member of the Tianjin team, his number was No. 19 (1997)

Yu Guang may be the only remaining member of the Guoan team with Yang Chen before 1997 Two of the players are still actively playing football. This year Tianjin TEDA continued to sign up for him, with the number 3, and he also served as the main player at the beginning of the year. Later, due to physical illness, he gradually faded out of the main lineup.

Nangfang: When I was a coach at the football school, my number was No. 20 (1997)

Nangfang, who once opened a bar when he was a player, obviously cannot do without the Hyundai team. Not playing football, he has deep feelings for Guoan.

After retiring from Hyundai last year, he returned to the team from time to time to take a look, and even participated in the team's joint training when there was not enough manpower, and served as a non-staff substitute.

Now Nanfang is assisting Liu Jianjun as coach at the Sanfang Football School affiliated with Guoan Club. This is one of several peripheral football schools for the youth department outside of the second, third and fourth tier teams. The South, which continues to do football work there, is obviously doing it well.

Yao Jian: I want to start a catering business. My number was No. 22 (1997).

After retiring from Beijing Guoan and feeling hurt, Yao Jian followed his wife and left Beijing for Kunming. , I hope to find a business there, such as opening a restaurant or something, and change my life. But can he live without football?

Among the batch of Guoan veterans from 1995 to 1997, 14 people transferred and left, and 13 of them served as captains of other teams in other places. This is enough to illustrate the personal qualities of these Guoan players. Quality and ability.
