0-0！ In the case of passive scenes, The Taishan team stubbornly forced the Singapore champion Lion City Sailors to draw, which is the first point of the Taishan team in the AFC Champions League this season, and the first point of the Chinese Super League team, which is gratifying. In three games, the lads of the Taishan team have improved in each game, punching the useless training of many media people before. After the game, the AFC official also praised the performance of the Taishan team.
Affected by the epidemic, Taishan can only send U21 teams to play in the group stage of the AFC Champions League, the average age of the team is less than 20 years old, many players are participating in official competitions for the first time, and there is still a significant gap between the strength of opponents in the same group.
In the first match against south Korean team Daegu FC, the Lads of the Taishan team paid tuition and lost to the opponent 0-7, setting a record for the largest score loss of The Taishan team in the AFC Champions League, which is somewhat expensive. After this game, some media people sneered, saying that sending a youth team to participate in the AFC Champions League has no exercise value, but will bring psychological blows to young players, and the gains are not worth the losses.
For young players, play is the best way to improve their ability, not to mention the high-level AFC Champions League, which is more valuable to young people' training. In the second game against the stronger Urawa Red Diamonds, the Taishan lads were a little less nervous, and there were some good counter-attacks while doing a good job of defense, although they lost 0-5, but the team's progress was visible to the naked eye.
It wasn't a soft persimmon against the Singapore Lion City Mariners in the third game, as they had just beaten Daegu FC 3-0 in the last game and the team had four high-level foreign players. After the first two games, the Lads of the Taishan team played more calmly, and in the first half, Yi Xianlong's shot passed by the goal, almost scoring the first goal of the AFC Champions League.
Throughout the game, although the Lion City Sailors were far ahead of the 14-3 in the number of shots, but they only had two feet to shoot the goal, the overall defense of the Tarzan team was very good, basically did not give the opponent too good a chance, and finally stubbornly held the draw, got a valuable 1 point, such a draw also let the lads gain more confidence.
After the game, the official website of the AFC praised the performance of the Taishan team, praising the team's steely defense line to prevent the Lion City Mariners from winning two consecutive victories, and goalkeeper Cao Zheng was invincible, which was the biggest affirmation of the boys' performance. Players such as BaiheLamu, Zhang Yingkai, Lu Yongtao, Yi Xianlong and so on are all eye-catching, and they are expected to compete for a place in the Taishan first team in the future.
After losing 0-7 to Daegu in the first match, many domestic media people sneered, believing that sending young people to such a game would only destroy their confidence, not only had no exercise value, but was not good for their future development.
The lads of the Taishan team have proved that the stage of the AFC Champions League can exercise people, through such games, the boys have made obvious progress, three games, one is better than the other, step by step, the field has improved, so that the fans have seen their potential, but also punched the face of the previous sneering, advocating the worthless remarks of military training.
Next, the Taishan team will play 3 group games, 3 group opponents will play again, I hope the lads can continue to work hard, let the fans see their progress.
