The Chinese Super League, once known as the "sixth league in the world", is not as good as the Hong Kong Super League in Hong Kong, China, and it is estimated that it will soon be surpassed by Vietnam!
Recently, the AFC announced the venue of the AFC Champions League East Asia group stage. Shandong Taishan's match venue is arranged in Buriram, Thailand; the Shanghai Harbour is arranged in Bangkok, Thailand; Guangzhou's matching venue is arranged in Johor Bahru, Malaysia; and Changchun Yatai can enter the group stage through the play-offs, and the venue is arranged in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
According to domestic media reports, in view of the conflict between the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League group stage schedule, the 4 teams of the Chinese Super League will most likely send youth teams to play in the AFC Champions League in the new season.
Beginning in 2023, the AFC decided to adjust the rules for the allocation of seats in the AFC Champions League of various football associations, in which technical points are no longer converted based on the results of the past four years, but only based on the AFC Champions League results of the previous year.
In last year's AFC Champions League, the Chinese Super League team collapsed completely, Beijing Guoan and Guangzhou team only achieved 1 draw and 11 losses in 12 group matches, Shanghai Harbor was directly eliminated early in the play-offs, and the Chinese Super League only won 0.8 technical points, and the comprehensive points have plummeted from the 1st in Asia in 2020 to the 10th.
If the Chinese Super League team continues to choose to strategically abandon the AFC Champions League, then the comprehensive points of the Chinese Super League are very likely to fall out of the top 24 in Asia, thus completely missing the AFC Champions League and can only participate in the AFC Second Stage event - the AFC Cup.
The development level of a national football league can objectively reflect the level of football in a country, and today's football league is a chicken feather, where does the national team's performance come from? The league is the foundation of everything! Old Chen, what do you think?
