In a focus battle in the third round of the AFC Champions League that ended on the evening of April 21, Beijing time, Shandong Taishan drew 0-0 with Singapore champion Lion City Mariners and won the first point of the Chinese Super League team in the AFC Champions League this season.
As the winner of the Singapore League, the Lion City Mariners were originally considered to be the weakest team in the group after Tarzan, but in the last round, they unexpectedly beat South Korean powerhouse Daegu FC 3-0, which was really amazing. And in this game, the Lion City sailors are also pressing the Tarzan team to play. According to the statistics of the whole game, the shooting ratio of the two sides is 3-19, the shooting ratio is 0-2, the possession rate is 25.8%-74.2%, and Tarzan is in an absolute disadvantage.
But in the end, the Taishan team of the Youth Army still scored 1 point with tenacious will. What is even more rare is that in the case of a significant decline in physical fitness in the final stage, the boys of the Tarzan team did not delay the time, but gritted their teeth and insisted.
It is worth noting that this is not only the first point of the Chinese Super League team in the AFC Champions League this season, but also the second time that the Chinese Super League team has gained points in the AFC Champions League after 299 days. The last time the Chinese Super League team scored in the AFC Champions League was back to June 26 last year, when Beijing Guoan drew 1-1 with the Philippine team United City FC in the first round of the AFC Champions League group stage, after which the Chinese Super League team began a long 15-game losing streak, and Taishan finally ended the humiliating history of the Chinese Super League team tonight.
The performance of the Taishan team has also aroused the praise of many domestic media people, and the famous Mouth Dong Lu said: "Although the opponents are different, the progress is obvious. Positioning the 541 defensive counterattack, this is a scientific attitude! "The Tarzans will then play back-to-back matches with the Lion City Mariners and we expect the lads to continue to work miracles, to score a goal and even to have a valuable victory.
