The Chinese Super League has not yet determined the start time, and the participation in the AFC Champions League has gradually surfaced, according to the previous media reports, clubs will continue to arrange youth teams to participate in the AFC Champions League. The Beijing Youth Daily also said in the latest report that the 4 Chinese Super League clubs have determined to maintain the competitiveness of the Chinese Super League, and the domestic football community has reached a consensus, hoping to do a good job in the domestic league, even if it gives up the AFC Champions League, it will have to endure its results and pain!
As we all know, the AFC Champions League was a very important event for Chinese Super League clubs, many teams sent their strongest squads to compete for the glory of Chinese football, and once they won the AFC Champions League, they could participate in the Club World Cup, face off with other championship teams, and win valuable club intercontinental competition opportunities. Last year, the Chinese Super League has tried to give up the AFC Champions League because of the epidemic, and the youth team's participation has made the AFC Champions League results of the Chinese Super League dismal, and if the Chinese Super League continues to do so this year, the number of places in the Chinese Super League in 2024 will be lost!
However, Beijing Youth Daily revealed that the 4 participating teams in the Chinese Super League have reached a consensus, except for Shandong Taishan's decision to send some first-team members and young players to mix the team, other teams tend to maintain the competitiveness of the Chinese Super League, thereby giving up their strength in the AFC Champions League, that is to say, the teams will send youth teams to continue to participate, and last year's AFC Champions League is enough to prove that the current youth team level of the Chinese Super League is not enough to compete with the first-team teams of other leagues, and the completely suppressed matches are not competitive!
According to the news, the reason why the Chinese Super League teams made such a decision is mainly because everyone believes that the results of the AFC Champions League will not affect the opportunity of the national team to participate in intercontinental competitions, and the domestic football community has also reached a consensus that they hope to do a good job in the existing football environment, even if giving up the AFC Champions League will bring pain, but they must endure it. It is also enough to see that the domestic football community still regards the national team game as the only standard, and the club's game is once again squeezed aside!
Nowadays, the results of the Chinese Super League are quite dismal, and if the opportunity to play intercontinental matches is also lost, the ornamentation and value of the Chinese Super League have dropped significantly, causing huge losses to the youth training of Chinese football and the cultivation of future international footballers. I have to say that this year, the Football Association and the club should discuss and coordinate with each other to find the best way to protect the interests of all parties, rather than ignoring it and letting the club make a choice, once the AFC Champions League is lost, the Chinese Super League has little meaning in addition to other championships!
