After Chinese football entered the New Year, the feeling of fans was like riding a roller coaster, first of all, the men's football team lost to Vietnam on the first day of the New Year, confirming the prediction of the famous fan Zhiyi; Then in the case of the national fans' mood into a trough, the women's football girl fiercely out of a bad breath, reversed the Vietnam penalty shootout Japan and then defeated South Korea with 3 goals in the final half, the fans' mood once again ushered in a recovery, no matter how Chinese football ushered in a new year.
And today the AFC once again announced that the venue of the 2022 Asian Football Champions League has been released, and the five groups of teams in east Asia will compete in the group stage from April 15 to May 1, of which the F group match will be held in Buriram, Thailand, the G group match will be held in Bangkok, Thailand, the H group match will be held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, the group I game is Malaysia's Johor B, and the last group J group game is not yet released, but it has been determined that it will be held in Thailand.
The previous AFC Champions League grouping has long been released, the four teams in the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan, are divided into Group F and Urawa Red Diamonds, Lion City Mariners, Daegu/Buriram United, Guangzhou is in Group I and Kawasaki Strikers, Johor Bahru, Ulsan Hyundai/Taigang are in Group J and Chiangrai United, Jiezhi, Kobe Victory Ship/Shan Bang United, and the last Chinese Super League team Changchun Yatai is in Group H and needs to pass the play-offs to enter this group.
Among them, Shanghai Haigang will take a charter flight to Thailand with Shandong Taishan team, Guangzhou team will go to Malaysia, and Changchun Yatai will go to Vietnam after playing in the play-offs. The champions and runners-up of the Chinese Super League are also the two participating teams in last year's FA Cup final will fly to Thailand together, which can be regarded as PTSD for Shanghai Harbor, which has lost to the opponent on both lines, and fans are also ridiculing that they do not know whether the two teams will fight on the plane.
However, just when fans imagined that the 4 Tigers of the Chinese Super League could kill all four parties in the new year's AFC Champions League, a message from the Chinese Super League champion Shandong Taishan came, and the fans were not calm! It turned out that according to the news of the "Sports Weekly" media, Shandong Taishan has added a new U21 echelon, and they are preparing for the next AFC Champions League by making such a move at this time. The number of this echelon team has reached as many as 30 people, most of whom are players who were loaned out by the team last year, and well-known players include Liu Chaoyang and Fang Hao, who have been selected for the U23 national team many times, and the head of this team is The famous Yu Yuanwei of Taishan.
