In the past 6 months, the performance of Chinese teams in the Asian arena has been criticized, and has been extended from the national team level to the club, the blows have followed, the AFC Champions League is currently underway is a clear example, the start of the Chinese Super League is still uncertain, but the club still sends young players to participate, which also led to a sharp decline in competitiveness, the most direct embodiment is at least 5 goals on the field of defeat, from the World Preliminary Tournament to the AFC Champions League, the impression of Chinese teams in the AFC is also deteriorating, for the development of domestic football is more unfavorable, After all, the intercontinental stage selection is more important to the strength of the team.
If the results are not good, at least can still participate, then the withdrawal is to catch the AFC off guard, before the AFC Champions League, China's 2 strong teams Yatai and Haigang have submitted a withdrawal application, although the AFC finally agreed, but the withdrawal practice obviously can not only be understood, after all, the AFC itself organized the game, now said that the withdrawal is withdrawn, it is not conducive to future management, coupled with the low-end performance of the Chinese Super League team, the league's points are bound to decline, the next Chinese Super League may no longer have 3 + 1 quotas, This is also the price that must be borne.
Speaking of withdrawal, the national team will also appear, and due to the inability to fly to Tajikistan as planned, the U23 national team has no choice but to withdraw from the 2022 U23 Asian Cup. In the past six months, the AFC received 3 Chinese teams to withdraw from the competition, not only that, on April 20, the AFC officially announced the news of the withdrawal of the fourth Chinese team, this time it is still the national brand, the 5-a-side national team withdrew from the 2022 Asian Cup East Asian Qualifiers, after the Withdrawal of the Chinese team, there are only 5 teams left in the East Asian region, Japan, South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Mongolia.
Originally two groups, it was changed to one, and the East Asian Qualifiers were scheduled to be completed in mid-May, with the top three finishing in the finals. In recent years, futsal has developed rapidly, and it is also part of the national team, so the development of futsal is also valued, and this time it is also a passive withdrawal.
Although the official did not explain the reason, but referring to the previous withdrawal factors, it is most likely related to the epidemic, which is also a helpless move. It's just that retirements and fiasco alternate, and the AFC's impression score is bound to be affected somewhat.
