Despite Beijing Guoan's loss to Shanghai Shenhua, Shao Jiayi is still confident on Beijing Guoan's prospect of winning the 2025 CSL championship: "Guoan’s new head coach has instilled a more advanced style of football, and the team has embraced it seamlessly. In my view, losing the last match was actually a good thing for them — on the path to competing for the title, they need to encounter some challenges. I still believe they’ll continue to improve, and I’m confident they have a strong chance this year. "
