When the Chinese Super League will start has not yet been determined, but the AFC Champions League is on schedule. On April 7, Beijing time, the AFC Champions League, Asia's top football tournament, will officially start in the West Asian Division. The ensuing East Asia Division will also begin on April 15. At that time, the top 3 of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan, Shanghai Harbor and Guangzhou will fly to their respective competition venues to officially open the new season.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, in order to ensure that the team can participate in the Chinese Super League normally and make a difference. The Chinese Super League team has been sending young players to compete in the AFC Champions League since last season, and Changchun Yatai this season has directly abstained. Originally, after Changchun Yatai abstained, fans and the media also speculated that the other 3 teams would also choose to abstain. However, Shandong Taishan, Shanghai Harbor and Guangzhou are clearly reluctant to give up this opportunity to train players.
Today, the German transfer administrator announced the list of players from Shandong Taishan, Shanghai Haigang and Guangzhou to participate in the AFC Champions League. All the players in these 3 big lists add up, and there are only a few players who are well known to fans. Moreover, more than half of these players are not evaluated by the german turn price, which shows that these players are really "new". According to statistics, the total value of these three teams is only 1.385 million euros, of which Guangzhou team 210,000 euros, Shanghai seaport 500,000 euros, Shandong Taishan 675,000 euros. Compared with previous years, the value of Chinese Super League teams is often tens of millions of euros, which is simply heaven and earth.
In the above paragraph, we said that these players are really "new", so how "new" are these players? Guangzhou's AFC Champions League roster is dominated by 19-year-old players, with the youngest player just turning 17. Of course, it is not that the top 3 of the Chinese Super League sent a youth army, which is not worthy of the attention of fans. In fact, each team still has points worth paying attention to.
In the big list of Shandong Taishan, there is a player whose name is particularly conspicuous, he is Fang Hao, who has just staged the senior celebration at the Dubai Cup. As the brightest rising star in the recent Chinese men's football team, fans are still very concerned about his performance in the AFC Champions League. In terms of Shanghai Harbor, the head coach leading the team deserves the attention of fans. Let's take a look at the changes that Japanese coach Kaneko Takayuki, who is good at youth training, has brought to Chinese football.
Although guangzhou team does not have a shining new star, nor does it have a good manager. However, many of the players in his team are from Evergrande's youth training. To exaggerate, Guangzhou's performance in the AFC Champions League allows fans to witness Chinese football a few years later. So, this season's AFC Champions League Super League teams, although the ironclad has nothing to do. However, there is still value to the points we pay attention to. Come on, Chinese football!
