Recently, Ma Dexing wrote an article suggesting that the Chinese Super League Big4 collectively withdraw from the 2022 AFC Champions League, and he believes that withdrawing is the wisest choice for the current Chinese Super League team. In the past few years, no matter what difficulties have been encountered, the Chinese Super League teams do not seem to have collectively withdrawn from the AFC Champions League, and this move is really amazing!
In order to support his own point of view, Mingji put forward four major reasons:
First, when arranging the schedule, the Football Association and the Professional League Preparatory Group have no time to take care of the AFC Champions League and have no consideration of making way for the AFC Champions League.
Second, according to the "14+7" day isolation standard, making way for the AFC Champions League will lead to a tighter Schedule in the Chinese Super League. On the contrary, the isolation time of opponents in the AFC Champions League is much less than ours, for example, Japanese and Korean teams are only about 7 days.
Third, instead of sending the youth team to be beaten to be scolded, it is better to retire.
Don't give Southeast Asian teams a chance to win: don't give them the chance to beat us to get technical points and surpass the Chinese Super League in the "AFC Technology Points Ranking".
The first three points are easy for everyone to understand, about the fourth point, Mingji analyzed the AFC Champions League grouping of the new season, saying that the Chinese Super League Big4 is in the same group as Southeast Asian teams, and the location of the game is in Southeast Asia, at that time, if the Chinese Super League team sends out a youth army, I am afraid it will become a good opportunity for the "home team" to grab points.
Mingji said that according to the "AFC Technical Points Ranking", if the Chinese Super League team withdraws, it will be calculated by 0 points, and if the youth army is rushed to play and defeated by Southeast Asian teams, it is equivalent to sending points to the opponent and letting the opponent's "AFC Technical Points Ranking" surpass the Chinese Super League.
I have to say that the statement of the name is not completely unreasonable. If the Chinese Super League team sends the main force to play, even if the group qualifies, it will be difficult to go further, not only that, but this move will also affect the performance of domestic leagues, especially Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Harbor, which are aiming to win the championship.
Sending out the youth army is afraid of tragedy, this dilemma of the situation mingji feels that it is better to simply withdraw from the game like last year's Australian team, and the AFC will not punish anyway.
Ming Ji said that withdrawal was only a stopgap measure and a strategic choice. He believes that by 2023-24, the Chinese Super League team may be able to achieve good results with all the main forces and get more seats in one fell swoop.
In case the epidemic prevention policy in the next year is still "14+7", will the Chinese Super League continue to withdraw from the competition? The name is not explicit. Besides, even if the epidemic disappears, with the current strength of the Chinese Super League team, will it be able to beat Southeast Asian teams in the AFC Champions League? It's hard to say.
In 2020, Ma Dexing once called on Chinese Super League teams not to withdraw from the AFC Champions League, because they were afraid of being punished by the AFC. Now seeing that the AFC will not punish, the name has also changed its tone.
Mingji's move is really well-intentioned, and for the sake of the face of Chinese football, he will not hesitate to suggest that the Chinese Super League Big4 use this "bitter meat plan" of withdrawal.
Yes, the national football team has lost to the Vietnamese team, if the ranking of the Chinese Super League is overtaken by the Vietnamese League, then the face of Chinese football will really not be hung up, and it will be made a big fuss by the neighbors.
Withdrawing from the competition can only solve a temporary problem, afraid of the epidemic and not listening to the famous words, do we have to continue to withdraw? In the long run, when withdrawal becomes a routine, causing our team to no longer communicate with the outside world, and to practice blindly behind closed doors, not only will the technical ranking be surpassed, but even the real level of playing will be surpassed by others.
