According to the original plan, today is the day when the Harbor Youth Army will go to the AFC Champions League, however, due to the impact of the epidemic in Shanghai, there have been new problems in the participation of Chinese Super League teams, and Wang Xiaorui, a reporter from Sports Weekly, revealed that the Harbor team may become the second AFC Champions League team to withdraw from the Chinese Super League this season. And one of the important reasons that is quite surprising is that the budget for charter flights is not enough!
As we all know, this season, the AFC has always hoped that the Chinese Super League can send a first-team team to play, and has also tried to avoid the main schedule of the Chinese Super League in the schedule, but Changchun Yatai took the lead in announcing its withdrawal, resulting in only 3 Chinese Super League teams participating, and these teams invariably adopted the strategy of youth army participation, which once made AFC officials feel very dissatisfied and angry. However, what makes the AFC even more difficult now is the situation that The Harbor may be on the verge of withdrawal!
According to the news revealed by the reporter, the AFC once again made a limit concession after learning of the current difficulties of the harbor, which is to allow the harbor to arrive in Thailand 1 day before the first match of the AFC Champions League, and the original arrival time was introduced for 5 days. The reporter said bluntly that the feasible plan now is that the youth army of more than 20 people in the club will directly transfer to Jiangsu and charter a plane from Jiangsu to Thailand. However, Wang Xiaorui bluntly said that since the harbor season budget does not have the money to charter flights in the AFC Champions League, this plan is likely to fail!
The reporter said that in addition to the problem of funds, the charter flight application route is also facing a time problem, unless waiting for the miracle to appear, otherwise the harbor can only announce its withdrawal in the middle of next week. Obviously, the national football team has also encountered the Shanghai epidemic during the return of the top 12 and was forced to reapply for charter flights, but this process has not been delayed for too long, and now the harbor team's application for routes is probably only 1 factor, and another important factor is that there is no money to achieve charter flights!
Once upon a time, the AFC Champions League was the most valued honor for Chinese Super League teams, and Chinese Super League teams were chartered to travel, and even clubs gave the highest treatment support, however, now the Chinese Super League not only pays more attention to the Chinese Super League that has been repeatedly postponed and compressed, but also even the charter budget of the AFC Champions League has not been arranged, which has become one of the important factors that cannot play in the AFC Champions League. I have to say that Chinese football has indeed seen the most bizarre and lowest trough situation! (Lao Qiu Chinese Super League Ball Review)
