Because the two teams in the Chinese Super League sent young players to participate in the AFC Champions League have repeatedly suffered "tragedies", so the Chinese football world is divided into two factions, one faction believes that participating in such a high-level game will only add unnecessary "slaughter", which is a great blow to the confidence of players and is not conducive to growth; the other faction believes that although the score is unbearable, it has a very high training value for young players, and the performance is visible to the naked eye.
Someone asked me, what is my point of view? I disagree, but it's too early to draw conclusions, at least ten years from now.
The ancients once said that we should not be happy with things and not be sad with ourselves, and we should not be too happy and sad because of something. In the first two rounds of the game, Guangzhou and Shandong Taishan lost an aggregate score of 0-25 and were scolded; in the 3rd round, Guangzhou team 0-3, Shandong Taishan 0-0, the score improved slightly, and immediately received unanimous blind praise. Yes, the youngsters are doing better than the naked eye, but I'll be honest, it's limited to goalkeepers.
According to statistics, Guangzhou goalkeeper He Lipan saved a total of 9 threatening shots from the other side, if it were not for his heroic play, then the score of Guangzhou team would certainly not be 0-3. Similarly, Shandong Taishan goalkeeper Cao Zheng, he also played well (but also take into account the level of different opponents).
Presumably, there are fans who can't forget the two mistakes of He Lipan and Cao Zheng for a long time, which is definitely not their real level, and this round of competition is the quality they should have as a qualified goalkeeper. We can't praise a goalkeeper because he has no low-level mistakes, just plays normally, it is not appropriate.
Weak team outfielders have always been the truth of football, and the goalkeepers of the giants are generally from weak teams. If the weak team can't even get the goalkeeper, is there any reason for this team to deserve the support of the fans?
Let's talk about a player who performed very well in my opinion, Yi Xianlong, who should be the most able "potential new star" in the two teams of Guangzhou and Shandong Taishan, there is no one. But we also need to know a truth, Yi Xianlong "can", not because he participated in the AFC Champions League "can", but he originally "can".
Yi Xianlong, who is only 21 years old, although he can't play in the first team in Taishan, Shandong, but he already has a record in the Middle League, and has played well in Jiangxi and Zhejiang for two consecutive seasons, and has scored goals. Therefore, Yi Xianlong's performance in the AFC Champions League seems to be very "good", but that is also a normal performance, and it is also not worth writing a big book.
Seriously, expecting a player to be reborn in a tournament system like the AFC Champions League, in just a few games, can only be in the novel. The AFC Champions League is a high-level stage, and our league is the foundation of developing players, and youth training needs to be gradual, not overnight.
Now ask, the Chinese Super League sent young players to participate in the AFC Champions League, in the end, whether there is any exercise value, the answer is definitely there, but is the "value" big? Another example is Yi Xianlong, if he passes this AFC Champions League, he will be able to perform well in the Chinese Super League next year, then it will definitely be worth it. But for those players who originally only have the middle crown, or even the level of the middle crown, they "exercise" no matter how good, it will not be much better, at most, play in the middle B, which is a bit too much to lose.
World superstars like C Ronaldo and Messi, which one is not kicked out under the escort of the big brothers. Far from saying that it is close, the reason why Liao Lisheng can gain a foothold in Guangzhou Evergrande and quickly complete the AFC Champions League goal is also backed by Axon, Zheng Zhi and Gao Lin.
So my point is that if Guangzhou and Shandong Taishan can send a "old and new" squad to participate in the AFC Champions League, or most of them are real "potential new stars" like Yi Xianlong, such a AFC Champions League is still very valuable for exercise.
Like the Guangzhou team, basically the players with a little potential have stayed in the Chinese Super League, and the ones sent to participate in the AFC Champions League can be said to be a "second team" of the second team, is this really good? Of course, there is a saying that goes well, don't bully the young people poor, young is the biggest capital of the players, maybe ten years later they will really play better than these "potential players" now, Chein is because of participating in this AFC Champions League. Therefore, I can only say my point of view, but the conclusion cannot be easily concluded, and I will talk about it in ten years.
