Off to China!

I get my wish of heading to Asia next, as I join Chinese League One outfit Beijing Sport University.
Further information shortly, but they're a decent mid-table team with secure finances.

Transfer/wage budget looks tasty, though will need to research the financial league limits first as I think you can only spend, something like, as much as you receive in income behind the scenes; though that could just be for Super League sides.

Unfortunate times, but that's the way it goes sometimes. I believe this is the most I've been relegated in a single save, bound to happen eventually I guess!
Looking forward to getting started in Beijing.

Sometimes you get that where no matter what you do the game has it in for you. No doubt China will prove a safe haven for you to rebuild your rep, but those Super League teams have some mad budgets.

I am officially the new manager of Beijing Sport University!

After failing in England and Europe I've moved to Asia. Beijing Sport University of the Chinese League One (tier two) are my new team. I don't expect anything major to begin with, but the plan is to build them into a team that can at some point challenge for promotion and perhaps even become a Super League outfit one day. That's the idea, whether we'll get anywhere near that is another question entirely.

Now, let me introduce club number nine of the save.

Real Life
Beijing Sport University were founded in 2004, thirty years ago in-game. They play at the lovely 36,000+ Olympic Sports Centre in Beijing, China - a stadium that hosted football matches during the 2008 Summer Olympics. Previous homes include the Chaoyang Sports Centre and the Shijingshan Stadium. Their current name isn't the club's only name, as they've previously been known as Beijing Baxy and Beijing Enterprises Group.

Notable former players include ex-Everton forward Victor Anichebe and former Serbian international Danko Lazović, while this was the last club of the late Cheick Tioté; his #24 is retired, though not in-game but I'll be honouring it anyway. Wang Tao, a two-time Chinese international, helped create the club.

In terms of their on-field stuff, they haven't achieved any real success. They began, having only been a youth team prior, in the 2009 League Two where they finished 3rd, narrowly missing promotion. However, due to the demise of Beijing Hongdeng in the league above, Beijing SU took the aforementioned team's place in League One for the 2010 campaign. That's where they have stayed in real life, finishing no higher than 4th in any of the ten seasons since.

They have had no cup triumphs, as you'd expect, though did impressively reach the FA Cup semi-finals under Aleksandar Stanojević in 2015, where they'd get eliminated by top-flight side Shanghai Greenland Shenhua.


In-Game
Things began incredibly for Beijing SU in this save, as they gained promotion in 2019 to the Super League having finished 2nd. They were unsurprisingly relegated back down at the first attempt, though didn't finish bottom. That is as great as it has got for them, but they've consistently been a solid top half outfit in League One since 2020. Last season, in 2033, they placed straight bang in the middle in 9th.

Enjoyed pre-season, as we showed some promise.

We failed to win two matches, but they were both against Super League sides Beijing Renhe and Shandong Luneng Taishan; Shandong scored four of their goals in quick salvos, while we held Renhe to a goalless draw. We secured big scorelines over a few lower league outfits, before rounding off with a 3-1 win over city rivals Beijing IT.

You'll notice Hong Da scored six goals in two matches, which included a brace over top-flight Shandong. He's a 17-year-old I promoted from the academy due to the (ridiculous) amount of first-team injuries. However, sadly he wont be featuring in our upcoming league campaign due to a blunder on my part. I misread the squad registration rules, it turns out U23 players need to be registered. I thought that, due to the game showing an 'U23' icon in the registration, that meant the usual youth players don't need adding - turns out they do. My fault entirely, though would be nice if the game was clearer.

I made four signings in the market, spending actual money for practically the first time in the save.

Ma Yun (LW, Shanghai Shenxin) signed on a free transfer, while Liu Zhiyuan (FW), Tan Zhenyu (CM) and Gui Weiwei (CM) were all paid for. Zhiyuan joins from Shanxi Longjin, Zhenyu from Guangdong South China Tiger and Weiwei from Sichuan United.

We actually received more than we spent, as clubs gave us £205k across three players. Mexican defender Yair Montaño (£7.25k) headed to Zhejiang Yiteng before my arrival, though I did accept offers for Guo Shuo (£90k from Guizhou Hengfeng) and Yu Xiaoyu (£110k from Chongqing Dangdai Lifan) - those two are promising youngsters who forced moves.

Perhaps not.

Hong Da is for some reason still ineligible to play, but I've added three random academy products and two of them are allowed to play but the other isn't - despite no noticeable differences between these four players. None of our youth teams are playing, or anything like that. Probably some obscure reason somewhere.

Hong Da scores on his FA Cup debut, obviously.

The CFA can stop him winning us the league, but he'll just have to win us the cup instead!

An excellent start, far better than what was expected of us as a mid-table team.

Things have headed south slightly towards the end of April, but we started that and the preceding month brilliantly. We won our first four competitive fixtures over Guangdong South China Tiger, Zhejiang Yiteng, Zhaoqing Hengtai (FA Cup - my 500th game in management) and Liaoning; the latter is a team who I actually once manged back on FM17. Those victories were followed with draws against Guizhou Hengfeng and Meizhou Hakka, both disappointing but at least we fought for a point on each occasion.

Next time out saw us progress to the board's expectation of round four in the FA Cup, as we beat Yiteng for the second time this campaign; despite fielding an entire outfield reserve line-up, an XI we again played in R4 as we were eliminated by top tier Shanghai Greenland Shenhua. Sandwiched between those cup ties was a 1-0 win over Shanghai Shenxin and a poor 1-1 tie with strugglers Baoding Rongda. April concluded with a loss to early promotion rivals Tianjin Tianhai. I'm very pleased with that overall form, especially as we scored in all but one of the eleven matches.

Heading into May, we sit 4th - 7pts off the runaway leaders Shijiazhuang Ever Bright. We've begun very nicely, I just hope our form doesn't drastically drop due to that loss to Tianhai. The game has a habit, at least in this save, to allow every opponent to figure out your tactics at exactly the same time - hopefully I'm wrong here!

Our form, after April's dodgy conclusion, didn't completely disintegrate like I thought it would. So that's positive.

We won 2, drew 1 and lost 1 - though both wins were against poor sides and just narrowly by a single goal. May ended in an annoying yet entirely predictable defeat to Nantong Zhiyun - a team that, hilariously, had lost 5-0 and 8-1 (!) in two of their previous three fixtures, but coincidentally found their form against us. We did get a red card very early on, and boy did they punish us with three first half goals... two of which were literally Paul Scholes vs. Barcelona-esque. If I had just 1p for every time the division's excrement team has defeated me, I'd beat Jeff Bezos to becoming a trillionaire!

We've dropped to 4th, with the gap to 2nd (and 1st) now 6pts. We're going nicely, tbh.

Same as last month. W2 D1 L1, dropped one place.

We can find ourselves extremely hard done by to lose a place, as June actually went very well. We beat Sichuan United and Hunan Billows, before taking a point off of league leaders Shijiazhuang Ever Bright away from home. However, we did taste defeat versus Qingdao Huanghai which was critical as they are obviously the team that has forced us down to 5th - rotten luck!

July sees us play (based on the current table) 16th, 7th, 6th and 15th. A big month!
The transfer market also reopens, as does the registration window. I've now registered the previously mentioned Hong Da, let's hope he can have an impact as he did in the FA Cup earlier in the campaign.

An average month.

Just the one defeat, vs. Henan Jianye, but we've also only won just one fixture - vs. Qingdao Jonoon. Our other two matches ended in draws against Lhasa Urban Construction Investment and Zhejiang Yiteng. Our form is iffy. We've won only once in six, though have had just three defeats in twelve. We go into August sitting 7th, six points off the secondary promotion spot. Fourteen matches to play!

The transfer window saw two fresh faces in.

Xie Huajiang (32yo, CM) arrived to add experience from Hunan Billows for £10k, while Guo Shuo (17yo, LB) returns to the club on loan from Guizhou Hengfeng; five months after they paid £90k to sign him. We also made some money in terms of departures. Flaubert Abimola (23yo, RB), a Benin international, was unregistered all season and finally left, joining third tier outfit Hebei Elite for £59k. Yue Xiangyu (31yo, CM), meanwhile, headed to lower league Xinjiang Tianshan Leopard for £27.5k.

A great August, not that you'd realise given we've only gained one place and one point on 2nd. Just unlucky that our rivals are also in good form...

We secured wins over Guangdong South China Tiger, Nantong Zhiyun and Hunan Billows - all lower down the table opponents. The month concluded with a crunch meeting with fellow promotion-chasing Qingdao Huanghai, which ended 2-2; we done well as we were actually two goals down. As September looms we sit 6th, five points behind Guizhou Hengfeng in 2nd. Shijiazhuang Ever Bright, despite a few blips recently, are back on track to take the title.

Ten to go!

Our pleasing form continues.

Baoding Rongda, Jiangsu Yancheng Dingli and Liaoning were all defeated, though we did suffer a loss to positional rivals Tianjin Tianhai; though have since gone above them in the table. The other fixture of September ended drawn 1-1 with Shanghai Shenxin. We sit 5th with five matches left, a sizeable eight points off promotion. I don't think this is our year, but we do play three of the four clubs above us in the run-in so I guess you never know.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/SLzKlNzkFxoKWq03hmAFWlvYWfwzNjGKIf4Nctz2.png

I'm happy with our season as long as we secure a deserved top six finish - which we should given we're 11pts inside at the moment.

No promotion... I know, hold back your shock!

It wasn't likely nor expected, though I had hoped we'd finish a bit better than we did as we experienced five winless fixtures. In fairness, as mentioned earlier, we did play three of the top four in the run-in so I can't say I'm shocked. That dumb draw with Sichuan United was certainly a sign of things to come.

Shijiazhuang Ever Bright are promoted as deserved champions, with Guizhou Hengfeng taking the second place in the Super League. We finish a merited 6th, though only just ahead of Liaoning in the end. Jiangsu Yancheng Dingli and Sichuan are relegated, but Hunan Billows survive via the relegation play-offs. Tianjin TEDA and Changchun Yatai are coming down from the top-flight.

A very impressive pre-season.

Goals galore alongside six wins from six. Four did come against weak local opponents, but we also stunningly beat K League 1 giants Seoul 4-1 on home soil and, recently relegated from the Super League, Tianjin TEDA 3-0.

So, it looks like we are fit and firing ahead of the league opener with Lhasa Urban Construction Investment...

Right?
...Right?

I, of course, made some new signings in the off-season as six players arrived, with nine departing.

Yair Montaño (CB, MEX, Zhejiang Yiteng), Wang Yingming (LB, CHN, Guangdong South China Tiger), Xu Peng (CM, CHN, Changchun Yatai), Li Xiang (RB, CHN, Guizhou Hengfeng), Zhang Xiushuo (GK, CHN, Shanghai Shenxin) and Zhang Min (RM, CHN, -) are those who have joined, as we spent £73k.

We received £325k for outgoing players - money really does fly about in China. Huang Jingtao headed to Tianjin Tianhai for £130k, way over-paying for the youngster who was valued under £20k. Wang Jing went to Kunshan, as did Zheng Long for a total of £132k. Yang Chenyu joined South China Tiger for £15k, while left winger Francis Asante left for Qingdao Jonoon for £40k. Four players were also released, the most notable being Thomas Aldersdörfer (CM, GER) and Jorge Luiz (LB, BRA) - two foreign players who don't fit due to the strict registration rules, same situation as Asante.

Simply put: Too many draws.

We've lost just one league fixture, versus leaders Tianjin Tianhai, from eight matches which is very pleasing. Unfortunately, we've won just twice against Liaoning and Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic. We've experienced five draws, which has been incredibly frustrating - the ones with goals have literally been goal highlights and that's it, admittedly I play on "key" highlights but you'd still expect action.

I strengthened the defence in the off-season, seemingly well given we've conceded just five [third best in division], but perhaps I needed to add more goals; despite having four strikers I define as good enough... I'll revisit when the mid-season window opens. Elsewhere, our reserve line-up were eliminated from the FA Cup by Chang'an, who blitzed us in extra time by notching three further goals for a 2-5 win; we had advanced from the previous round by virtue of defeating lower league outfit Xinjiang Tianshan Leopard.

That form leaves us 8th, six points adrift of second place Qingdao Huanghai and ten points off Tianhai.

That's more like it!

We dried up our bad habit of drawing matches and have also avoided losing, as we went through May 2035 with a 100% record across four league fixtures. Baoding Rongda, Zhejiang Yiteng, Hunan Billows and Shanghai Shenxin were all dispatched, with us scoring nine goals and conceding just two.

We've, thanks to that form, moved from 8th to 5th. The gap to 2nd has been shortened to 3pts, while 1st is back in the sights as Tianjin Tianhai have blown their 10pt lead on us to be only 4pts ahead. You'd expect Tianhai to regain form and us to lose our form in the coming month(s), but it's at least nice to show what we can be capable of.

For May, I also won Manager of the Month which was lovely. That's my first award in this save since 2029 with Bradford City - six year wait over.
