Beijing time on April 21st news, today the two Chinese Super League teams will usher in the third group stage of the AFC Champions League, in which the Guangzhou team will face South Korea’s Ulsan Hyundai team, while the Shandong team will face Singapore’s Lion City Mariners.
Regarding the previous disastrous performance of the two teams, the Korean media Sports Trend wrote an article to comment:
After a series of devastating defeats, the Chinese Super League teams are struggling in the group stage of the 2022 AFC Champions League, and their goal is not to win a game, but to quickly end the game and go home.
Only two teams from the Chinese Super League will play in the AFC Champions League this season, Guangzhou team and Shandong Taishan team, Changchun Yatai announced their withdrawal from the competition, and Shanghai Haigang gave up the competition due to the Shanghai epidemic. Due to the unstable business situation and the delay in determining the start time of the Chinese Super League, many Chinese Super League teams have encountered difficulties in team management on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have been unable to determine the personnel structure. The lineup of players was disastrous.
Guangzhou lost 0-5 to Johor Bahru, 0-8 to Kawasaki Forward, Shandong 0-7 to Daegu FC and 0-5 Urawa Red Diamonds. Both teams suffered catastrophic blows. Moreover, even the players themselves felt despair – Shanghai media “Oriental Sports Daily” reported that “the Guangzhou team players’ spirits have collapsed, they just want to go home.” This series of losses has brought the players to the brink of mental collapse , the young players created an atmosphere of finishing the game as soon as possible and going home quickly. “
Due to the consideration of the domestic league, the Chinese Super League team kept the main players in the country for preparation. This choice eventually caused a devastating defeat. In the end, only those young players who must learn how to win are left. (Editor Liu Shuitu)Return to Sohu, see more
