Group J: Guangzhou team VS Thailand and Hong Kong team at 18:00 on June 27
This is a dialogue between the two teams that both met with a score of 0-2 in the first round. A Guangzhou team with a starting age of only 21.1 and a starting player with the smallest back number being No. 40, conceded a goal each in the first and second half due to a set ball defense error, and finally lost to Osaka, the third best player in the Japanese J1 League last season. Sakura team. In the 10th AFC Champions League, he lost for the first time in the opening match of the AFC Champions League group stage.
Due to the obvious difference in strength, the Guangzhou team had only 2 shots in the game, and the opponent completed 22 times. The possession ratio was also 29% to 71%, and the number of corner kicks was 1 to 7. Although the statistics and the scene are at a disadvantage, the tenacious struggle of the Guangzhou team, around 20 years old, in the game is worthy of recognition. Captain Chen Quanjiang said: “The next game team will still focus on learning and strive to play their own things. Every player will use every run and struggle to complete every game.”
In fact, as the winner of the two-time AFC Champions League, the Guangzhou team’s performance in the intercontinental arena has declined significantly in recent years. Since the start of the quarterfinals of the 2019 season, there have been only 1 wins in the last 9 AFC matches and as many as 4 losses. Due to the strategic adjustment of the club, the team, whether in the AFC or the Chinese Super League, is no longer the domineering “Hengda” team. What’s more, the echelon teenagers sent out this time.
The opponents of the Guangzhou team in this round, the Thai and Hong Kong team, also swallowed two eggs in the first round, but the game process was completely different from that of the Guangzhou team. Their match with the Hong Kong Jiezhi team was a team that took the initiative and created scoring opportunities several times. However, poor luck and insufficient ability to make a single kick caused the Thai and Hong Kong team to make their debut in the AFC Champions League to be punished. Lost 0-2.
It is worth mentioning that the Thai-Hong Kong team did not play an official game for nearly 3 months before the match with the Jiezhi team. Although a warm-up match was arranged, it failed to achieve the real training purpose. The match with the Jiezhi team The first half was affected by heavy rain, so the strength of this Thai team was more or less compromised.
In this Thai port team, there are a total of 4 foreign aids, of which the two Spaniards Roccella and Sergio Suarez are the first and third captains respectively, as well as Madagascar forward John Baggio, and Go Seki of South Korea. In the match against the Jiezhi team, all four foreign players made their debut. In addition, although the No. 4 Dole and No. 33 Basil on the defensive line are both Thai players, they were born in Sweden and Germany respectively. In general, the well-positioned Thai-Hong Kong team is also a challenge for the young Guangzhou team. I hope that the young Guangzhou team can continue to play a “spiritual” game.
Group I: Beijing Guoan VS Kawasaki Forwards at 24:00 on June 29
In the first round of the group match, the Beijing Guoan Youth Army unexpectedly drew 1-1 with the Philippine team United City FC, and won the Chinese Super League team’s first points and first goal in the current AFC Champions League. In the game, Liang Shaowen scored a wonderful direct free kick and became the youngest Chinese Super League player to score a goal in the AFC Champions League. In the whole game, although the Guoan team was passive as a whole, players cramped and fell to the ground many times in the second half, but as a youth team, they still played their own style in the top Asian stadiums.
Judging from the first game, some of the young players of the Guoan team still played their own level. The central defender Liang Shaowen, midfielder double-engine Naibi Jiang and Hu Jiaqi are all remarkable in the game against the United City team. , Goalkeeper Guo Quanbo also made several key saves. Head coach Jankovic, who led the team, said: “Of course we have our own goals. Regardless of whether the opponent is strong or weak, the team will be full of fighting spirit.”
The second opponent of the Beijing Guoan team in the group stage is the Kawasaki Forward. The J-League team equalized twice after falling behind twice in the first round, and finally defeated Daegu FC 3-2 to get a good start. It is worth mentioning that the Kawasaki forward has remained unbeaten in 31 games in 214 days since November last year.
It can be seen from the game that the three Brazilian foreign aids Jesse, Schmidt and Damian of the Kawasaki Forward formed a central axis of the team. Compared with the United City team lacking experience in the AFC Champions League, the Kawasaki forward is far better than the Philippine League Champions in both condition and experience, which means that Beijing Guoan will face even more in the second round of the group. seriously test.
