In the second round of the AFC Champions League, the Korean team suffered Waterloo, and all 3 Korean teams lost, and all of them lost to Southeast Asian teams. Among them, South Korea's Jeonnam Tenryu 0-2 Thailand's Baton United, South Korea's Daegu FC0-3 Singapore Lion City Mariners, South Korea's Ulsan Hyundai 1-2 against Malaysia's Johor Bahru. At the time of the "Wolong Phoenix" competition in the Chinese Super League, three new Matai teams scored 7 goals in three games, and the South Korean team scored only 1 goal. This surprised us to see the rise of Southeast Asian football, not only at the national team level, but even the league began to challenge the traditional Asian strong teams, really giving Chinese fans a bad breath... Because just the day before, the Korean media also publicly mocked the national football AFC Champions League trip, threatening to "let the national football players learn from table tennis!" ”
The retribution came too timely, and the South Korean media "osen" publicly reflected, "Or don't mock Chinese football, first look at what happened to the Korean team's collective brakes!" "This media is really self-aware. Of course, this tone is not our own fight, but the Southeast Asian team blocked the mouth of the Korean media for us!
At the same time, the three victories of Southeast Asian teams have also sounded a wake-up call for us! Is there a feeling that all Asian teams are improving and we are regressing? When did we put Southeast Asian teams in our eyes, but look at now, everyone can put The South Korean team under their feet, the Japan-South Korea World Cup regulars, the West Asian team we can't physically resist, the only weak Southeast Asian team has also bottomed out, where is the future of Chinese football?
Lost 25 goals and 0 goals in 4 games and we endured because there were external reasons! Because of the epidemic, the problem of the connection between the AFC Champions League and the Chinese Super League, the club has no choice but to obey the strict epidemic prevention policy, not only to follow the provisions of the isolation of 14 + 7, but also to involve the green code issued by the Chinese Embassy, and the green code may not be so easy, after all, in the face of the epidemic, no one can be sloppy, in order to ensure that the Chinese Super League is not affected, can only lose the pawn to protect the car, or not abstain or send young players to participate!
Of course, netizens' criticism is also reasonable: everyone can be the main force, how can we be so special. Give way to this for a while, give way to that one for a while, make small calculations all day, and reap the rewards of a field of chicken feathers... But at present, the most embarrassing thing is that the Chinese men's football team has two more powerful opponents, Malaysia and Singapore, just imagine, even if the main team comes, the South Korean team has lost, can we guarantee to win the game?
It should be said that these three games of Southeast Asian teams, while playing face in the Chinese Super League, will make us think more!
That is, if the development is at this level, the next World Cup to give Asia 20 places for men's football will not be a play. Perhaps many fans will question that the AFC Champions League matches are all foreign aid, which has little to do with the Chinese team!
Is this true?
Look at the World Cup Asian qualifiers, Vietnam, Oman, once played soy sauce team, Asian fish belly, now the Chinese team still dare to treat people as "fish belly"!
As mentioned above, Southeast Asian football is on the rise, not only at the national team level, but even the league has begun to challenge the traditional Asian powerhouses!
I believe that after this season, there will be no more teams that dare to despise Southeast Asian football, they are already slowly rising, and the future will become a force that cannot be ignored in Asian football!
