Reporter Lu Mi reports On February 22, in the first round of the Chinese Super League, Yukun will play at home against Beijing Guoan, which is the first time that a Yunnan team plays the Chinese Super League and will be a historic scene. So, are they ready?

Last season, Yukun won the championship of the Chinese League, and Yunnan football returned to the top league after 20 years. In the new season, they competed in the Chinese Super League for the first time, and the club attached great importance to it, and they also became the first Chinese Super League club to prepare for the game.

At the beginning of last year, many players with experience in the Chinese Super League joined, which is the biggest guarantee for Yukun to win the championship of the Chinese Super League.

In terms of foreign aid, last season's Mushekui joined Dalian Kuncheng in the Chinese League, and Rabuyard went to InBev, which was also a promoted horse, leaving only midfielder Yonica alone; There are as many as 15 domestic players leaving the team, Zhong Haoran, Zang Yifeng, Li Peng, Shi Zhe, Liu Yuhao, Li Guangwen, Cui Ming'an, Bi Haoyang, Du Jinlong, Chen Chenzhenyang, Zhang Jianzhi, Yao Haoyang (loan) are all leaving the team when their contracts expire, Jiang Jihong and Zhao Jianbo are terminated, and the old captain Liu Yi joined the first-team coaching staff after retiring.

In terms of the introduction of foreign aid, Yukun has a clear salary red line and pays attention to cost performance. With so many people coming in and out for the first time, the club was a little inexperienced. Fortunately, before the end of winter training in Thailand, the foreign aid framework was built.

In the centre-back position, they have a number of options, with Serbian Crnomakovic having already arrived in Yuxi but leaving the next day citing family reasons. After that, after a long screening, the Spaniard Martinez was finalized.

In the midfield position, the Portuguese Nene was the first to arrive in the team, and the introduction was relatively smooth.

Up front, Musekwe left, Yukun had to strengthen the centre, in addition, there had to be a foreign winger, the agent provided a lot of options, former Jinmen Tiger foreign player Kompagno was also on the list, and in the end, they brought in former Three Towns striker Enrique and Angolan international Costa.

The introduction of domestic aid is relatively smooth, and it has been completed, Yukun has introduced a total of 10 domestic aids, mainly concentrated in the middle and backfield, namely Zhang Yufeng, Yang He, Duan Dezhi, Sun Xuelong, Yin Congyao, Zhang Xiangshuo, Ma Zhen, Ye Chugui, Li Songyi, Zhang Chenliang.

This year, Yukun's biggest move in the transfer market is naturalized players. They first brought in former Cangzhou striker Oscar Jr., and then proceeded to go through the naturalization procedures, last week, he has completed all the formalities in the domestic part, and will wait for the final reply of the DRC judicial department on his withdrawal this week; As the first active international player in the history of the Yukun team, he is fully integrated into the team in the third phase of training.

Before the Spring Festival, Yukun went to Thailand for training and played 3 warm-up games locally, 8-0 Thailand North Bangkok team, 1-2 Nara, 2-1 Jeonbuk Hyundai, which and Jeonbuk game, the opponent only sent foreign aid in the second half, Ma Zhen played bravely, saved the opponent many must score. After the Spring Festival, Yukun took a holiday in Yuxi and played 3 warm-up games, 1-1 Meizhou Hakka, 5-0 Henan U21 team, and 2-0 Shaanxi United.

In the two stages, Yukun played 6 warm-up games, all of which were mainly aimed at running in (including tactics and personnel), but when he was in Thailand, the foreign aid was not yet in order, and the physical condition of the players who arrived in the team was also different. In Yuxi, there are also some injuries and illnesses, however, the injured are actively recovering.

Judging from the warm-up match, the content of Yukun's drill is relatively close to that of the Zhongjia period, and he tends to take the initiative to attack and put pressure on the opponent. As the Chinese Super League gets closer and closer, Yukun can be said to be ready and eager to try.
