Guangzhou team defeated Kawasaki Forward 0:8, and Shandong Taishan lost 0:5 to Urawa Red Diamonds!
The AFC Champions League entered its second matchday, and the two clubs representing the Chinese Football Association once again lost a big score to their opponents. 13 goals were lost in both matches and 1 goal was not scored! Following the 12-goal defeat in the first round, it once again refreshed everyone's bottom line.
The Guangzhou team, which took the lead in the expedition, faced the K League giant Kawasaki forward, and there was almost no effective organization in the whole game, which was completely a posture of college students playing elementary school students. By the end of the first half, he had already fallen behind by 5 goals, and finally lost by 8 goals. In terms of technical statistics, the Guangzhou team is simply unbearable, the possession rate is only more than 20%, and the shot is only one foot, which is directly beaten into a sieve by the opponent.
Conceding eight goals directly set a new record for many embarrassing records since Chinese clubs participated in the AFC Champions League, such as this game being the biggest point difference since the Chinese Super League team participated in the AFC Champions League. Letting the opponent score 5 goals at half-time is also the team that has conceded the most goals at half-time in the 16 years of the AFC Champions League. In addition, Guangzhou has experienced eight consecutive defeats in the AFC Champions League, which is the longest losing streak in the history of the AFC Champions League and so on.
The famous journalist Lionel Piguet directly vented his dissatisfaction on the social platform, frankly saying: I thought that last year, Beijing Guoan and Guangzhou lost big scores in succession, which was already the worst performance of the club's trough. Who knew that this year's Chinese team was even worse than last year. Such a performance is not worthy of entering the AFC, which is a kind of blasphemy against the AFC Champions League, and the AFC should not hesitate to expel the Chinese Football Association from the AFC Champions League and let other associations join in to maintain healthy competition.
Another well-known journalist, Antonio Portillo, forwarded and commented on this dynamic, frankly: This is a naked insult, and the Chinese team still wants to host the World Cup within 10 years.
Shandong Taishan, who then went out, finally lost to J-League giants Urawa Red Diamonds 0:5 after a full game of competition. If you simply compare it with the previous game, combined with the content of the game, such a loss score is still acceptable, and it can be seen that there is an improved performance. But it is only a psychological comfort, in which Urawa Red Diamonds' key data such as shooting efficiency, number of times, possession rate, and threat number are far more than those of Shandong Taishan.
Shandong Taishan was able to play more calmly than the last game, mainly due to the full psychological counseling of the coaching staff and the in-depth study of Urawa Red Diamonds. The players learned the lessons of the last game, adjusted psychologically more quickly, and were able to quickly enter the game state. Five goals conceded, except for the third is a lack of experience and awareness, the other goals conceded are also forced to be helpless.
The reason why Guangzhou lost a big score has two special reasons, the first is that the head coach has made a substantial rotation of the lineup, except for the goalkeeper. This is actually a big taboo, although the first game players lost, but these players have found some game rhythm, have some game experience, can deal with some unexpected situations. At this time, they were all replaced, and a group of new people were replaced, who still had no competition experience and were in a state of small white, so it was not surprising that they had failed miserably again.
In addition, the Guangzhou club expelled Guan Haojin, and this punishment is indeed too serious. It was because of a red card that he was directly expelled from the team, which really created a precedent in the history of football. You know, these young players have just started their careers, and the club's severe punishment can affect his life, have a huge blow in body and mind, and even directly bid farewell to his football career and never recover.
Because of this punishment, the performance of the players in this game is even more fearful, dare not make tough defensive moves, because they are afraid, afraid that their actions are inappropriate, and they have also been expelled from the club, and the entire first half, the whole team has only 4 fouls is the best proof. For the Guangzhou team, it is certainly worth advocating the iron fist to govern the army, but is this kind of expulsion means and standards overcorrected?
