On January 17, Beijing time, the AFC Champions League group was released. As a result, the only G group without a Chinese Super League team was full of fish, including Jeonnam Tenryu in South Korea's second division and four teams including Philippine United City, Baton United and Melbourne. It is not surprising who qualifies. Because the strength is not strong, this group is likely to give birth to a 2-line team, which also increases the difficulty for the Chinese Super League team to qualify.
The Chinese Super League teams have mixed luck. Shandong Taishan is lucky and relatively relaxed. There are no Korean teams in the Harbor group, but it is likely that there will be Japanese teams. And guangzhou team will meet Kawasaki striker perhaps Ulsan Hyundai. This means that the team is likely to meet veteran Kim Young-kwon.
Yatai, on the other hand, had bad luck, even through the qualifiers, the group stage was a strong opponent, and it was the most difficult to qualify.
Although Yatai has not played in the AFC Champions League for a long time, Neigan and Serginho are both AFC Champions League masters. However, the team needs to pass the Australian half-time league championship and the winner of Kaya first. In the group stage, they will meet strong opponents such as Jeonbuk Hyundai and Yokohama Mariners.
In terms of historical records, Jeonbuk Hyundai has defeated Changchun Yatai twice in the AFC Champions League. Uchoka, on the other hand, has been underperforming jeonbuk hyundai. In addition, in the AFC Champions League, Yatai has no history of beating Japanese teams.
The Vietnamese team was unlucky, and Yatai had a big victory over Binh Duong. As long as the main force is out of the battle, defeating Huang Yingjialai is not a big problem.
Shandong Taishan had good luck, and the only strong teams in the same group were Urawa Red Diamonds and the winners between Daegu FC and Buriram United.
Compared to other Japanese teams, Urawa Red Diamonds have left the most. Last year's J-League they also only won the cup and sixth in the league. The two main forces, Shinzo Koji and Tomoaki Shinno, have already left.
Daegu FC is dominated by the combination of Sesinho and Silva, and there are many young players in the team. In addition, they are not a firm victory over Buriram. Shandong Taishan, on the other hand, had lost to Buriram, and they preferred to avenge the latter.
Guangzhou's group opponents will be Kawasaki Striker and Johor DT, as well as a qualifying team.
The qualifying team will be the winner between Ulsan Hyundai and Thai port, the former significantly stronger than the latter. If they can win, Guangzhou will definitely encounter Kim Young-kwon. The latter is the defensive player that Ulsan Hyundai coach Hong Mingfu has focused on introducing this season.
Kawasaki striker has been playing badly in the AFC Champions League, which is good news for Guangzhou. However, Ulsan Hyundai is the AFC Champions League champion for the 2020 season. There may be 2 strong teams in the group, and even if the Guangzhou team is full of main forces, it is not difficult to qualify.
The Harbor Team looked lucky, but it wasn't. Their group opponents are Chiang Rai United, Jai Chi and the qualifying team. And the qualifying team will most likely be the Kobe Victory Ship.
Kobe, which owns Iniesta, has been supplemented this year by Tomoaki Shinno, and Kobe has consistently performed better in the AFC Champions League than in the league. Harbor has always performed poorly against Japanese teams.
In addition, since last year, only the first place in the group has been able to secure the right to qualify. Once they can't beat Kobe, they need to get at least 12 points from the Thai Super League team and the Hong Kong Super League team, that is, a total victory. In the last AFC Champions League, the Team set a record of 11 points and failed to qualify. Hope the Harbor Team, don't follow in their footsteps.
