April 18, the second round of the AFC Champions League group stage, by Guangzhou against Kawasaki Forward, today's first press conference, Kawasaki Striker head coach Oni Muda expressed his concerns, although not explicitly stated, but between words, for the Guangzhou Evergrande players in the "kung fu football" style of the game expressed concern.
Onimuda said: "From the first round of matches, we can know that they (Guangzhou) can be very aggressive and physically confrontational. As a young team, they can pose a threat. It seems that in the first round of competition, guangzhou team's original proud pass control playing method has been transformed into today's "kung fu football", and the deterrent effect on Kawasaki strikers is still there, after all, the young players of the Guangzhou team have basically not played in the top league, and even basically are mixed in the middle B or reserve team players, and the feet and actions of these players may not even be heavy. The Guan Haojin incident is still fermenting, as the championship team of the Japanese Professional League, if the main player in the team is injured in this game, it will have a huge impact on Kawasaki's championship in the Japanese Professional League.
However, although the Kawasaki coach is worried about the unnecessary injury of his own players, he does not pay attention to the current Guangzhou team, and even for the first team of the Guangzhou team, he is also dismissive, Oni Muda said: To be honest, it does not matter how old they are.
Today's Guangzhou team is no longer the Asian hegemon that made all of Asia fearful in 2013-2015. At that time, Urawa Red Diamonds, Kashiwa Sun God, and Osaka Cherry Blossoms were all rubbed on the floor by Guangzhou Evergrande. Since 2015, Guangzhou Evergrande has begun to go all the way downhill, this downhill road is very similar to the trajectory of Chinese football, the Chinese men's football team in 2014 won the Asian Cup runner-up, but also began to fall all the way, falling and falling, until now, it seems that there is nothing to lose.
And the preparation of Kawasaki forwards for this game has no need to consider how guangzhou should play cards. Their plan is simple. It is to rely on their own advantages to dominate the game, only consider their own style of play, the ability of their players is enough to bring three points to Kawasaki, and what countermeasures guangzhou Evergrande should take, there is no need to consider at all. Today's Guangzhou team has lost any point worthy of the respect of its opponents in the eyes of Japanese clubs. This is the sadness of Evergrande, but also the sadness of Chinese football.
At the beginning, Evergrande itself used its great achievements of winning the AFC Champions League in 3 years and 2 years to push itself to the top of Asia, but now, it has continuously used a group of amateur players to cope with the highest level of the Asian Champions League, and it is also known as training new people. It is ridiculous to be directly ignored by the opponent. How arrogant it was then, how messed up it is now.
