Reporters Chen Yong and Jin Que reported that Taishan 0-7 Daegu, Guangzhou 0-5 Johor, the Chinese Super League club that played in the AFC Champions League with two or even three teams, were hit again after 2022. However, this is the choice of the Chinese Super League itself, just like Zhou Bingkun said in the hit drama "The World of Man", "Do you feel bitter? Chewed and swallowed myself.".
Because it was disqualified from the AFC Champions League last season, this match against Daegu FC became the debut of Shandong Taishan Club after the epidemic. In the end, the Taishan team, which played as a youth army, suffered a 0-7 defeat.
The seven goals conceded truly reflect the huge gap in strength between the two sides. In the game, Taishan has a lot of problems at the defensive level, the player's personal confrontation ability, defensive ability, game experience and the gap between high-level professional teams in Asia are at a glance, at the same time, the psychological pressure of the players is also relatively large, not only the serious mistakes made by goalkeeper Cao Zheng in the second goal conceded, but also the many defenses in the second half of the second half, Taishan players have lost the ball because of unnecessary mistakes.
The score was dismal, but the Lads of the Taishan team were not all without highlights, despite the big score, the team never gave up the attack, and the attack did a good job of advancing, repeatedly scoring into the Daegu 30m area and creating several corner kick opportunities. In the final moments of the game, they got a great chance to break the goal, but unfortunately they did not take it.
In this game, 4 of Taishan's 11 starters are 2004 age group players, namely Yang Ruiqi, Xiong Linrui, Long Tingwei and Deng Chunze, of which in addition to Yang Ruiqi, the other three players are under 18 years old; in addition, there are 2 03 age group players, 3 01 age group players and 2 00 age group players, all of whom are post-00s, with an average age of only 19.18 years old.
If there are only a few things to be encouraged about, the lads still dare to organise attacks against experienced K-League teams. Even in the last minute of stoppage time, the lads can run to pick up the ball and quickly attack after the ball is out of bounds.
The harsh reality of 0-7 still gives young people a blow, and there are too many places they need to sum up. The first is the organizational problem of the defense, which must be strengthened in the subsequent games; secondly, after the heavy blow, the morale of the team must be affected, and the subsequent psychological adjustment is more important.
After the game, Yu Yuanwei, who led the team to play, also admitted that the gap was very large, he said that the focus of the next game is to do a good job in the psychological construction of players; while young player Lu Yongtao said that every AFC Champions League is a challenge, "This challenge will not defeat us, it will only make us stronger." ”
Compared with Taishan, Guangzhou's AFC Champions League roster is not all post-00s players, and the three lines have "big brothers" to press the team, against Johor, 28-year-old Yang Xin and 26-year-old Guan Haojin started, and 25-year-old Ye Guochen sat on the bench (played in the 77th minute).
Yang Xin entered the Guangzhou team in 2014, played the Super Cup in the first place, and then went on loan to Jiangxi and Inner Mongolia Caoshangfei; Guan Jinhao entered the Guangzhou team in 2013, and then played in Ningxia, Elite and Inner Mongolia Caoshang on loan; Ye Guochen entered the Guangzhou team in 2013 and then loaned to Ningxia, Sanzhen and Inner Mongolia Caoshang.
In addition, guangzhou team also has a number of players playing in the AFC Champions League last year, and Tarzan is compared, which is considered to be "experienced". However, manager Pan Yonghe is leading a professional team for the first time as a manager, the 36-year-old has served as an assistant coach in Guoshao, a U18 echelon manager in Guangzhou, and he served as a physical fitness coach for the first team after the departure of Cannavaro's team last year.
Last season, Guangzhou's record was 6 losses in the group stage, scoring 1 goal. On this expedition, Pan Yonghe hopes to make progress over last year. But in the first game, Guangzhou suffered another blow.
The opponent of the Guangzhou team is the "host" Johor. In the past, even in the face of Guangzhou, which had already passed its heyday, they were also children, so Johor did not dare to take the enemy lightly. Johor coach Mora modestly said before the game: "Guangzhou has the best football academy in Asia, there are many excellent players among them, we must be vigilant against the performance from the youth army, and we must not underestimate their performance. ”
In the game, Johor was full of elites, all four foreign aides started, and in the end, they beat Guangzhou 5-0, and Brazilian foreign aid Bergson scored a hat-trick.
In addition to the five goals conceded, in the game, the 21-year-old goalkeeper He Lipan made a low-level mistake to give gifts, and the not young Guan Haojin fell to the ground and kicked the head of the opposing player and was sent off with a red card, all of which made the Chinese fans who watched the game feel powerless and helpless.
Throughout the game, the Boys of Guangzhou did not let the Johor manager see the performance of the students of the "best football academy in Asia": the possession rate was 18.3%, and there was only one shot on goal, or from the hanging shot near the Heshaolin midfield, there was no threat.
Since last year, chinese Super League clubs have played in the AFC Champions League as a youth team. Shanghai Harbour, which was unable to play this year, was out early in the play-offs, while Guoan and Guangzhou, who played in the group stage, scored 40 goals and scored 40 goals in 12 games, 1 draw, 11 losses, and 1 point, including 0-4, 0-5 and 0-7 defeats. For these young men who are still young players in Chinese football, this is of course the "price of growth" - optimistically, such a failure experience can be exchanged for the experience needed to grow; but pessimistically, it may also make many people depressed and lay psychological shadows.
In this year's AFC Champions League, the Chinese Super League once again started with 0-12, and the tragic defeat in the first round made the outside world more and more worried about whether they could "keep" last year's "bitter fruit". On the 18th, the two teams of the Chinese Super League will face the J-League teams - taishan will play against Urawa, Guangzhou will play against Kawasaki, and what kind of score will be waiting for them?
