This week's characters we pay attention to Jeonbuk Frontcourt Killer Wen Xuanmin! In the AFC Champions League group stage match in the week, Jeonbuk faced Huang Yingjialai, although there was a gap in the strength of the two teams, but after all, the game was played in Vietnam, sitting on the time and place, Huang Yingjialai played very tenaciously, but also made Jeonbuk attack helpless, but at the last moment the key Mr. Wen Xuanmin stood up again, with his wonderful world wave to help the team win the key 3 points! In the league this season, due to the restrictions of the U22 player appearance policy, Moon Xuanmin often plays the role of a substitute, but has repeatedly played a very good role, this season's Jeonbuk Hyundai front in Gustavo and Ilyukchenko are in a relatively sluggish state, and Han Jiaoyuan, Song Minyun has been injured, Moon Xuanmin has become a rare offensive highlight in the frontcourt, his speed and impact can bring a relatively large threat to the opponent! Look forward to his continued form from the beginning of the season, conquering Paul Bento and trying to get a place in Qatar's World Cup squad at the end of the year!
The AFC Champions League continues to compete: the K-League's semi-final four are mixed
This week, the 2022 AFC Champions League group stage continues to be contested. The four teams representing South Korea were mixed, with Ulsan Hyundai losing to Johor, Malaysia, and the fate of qualifying was already in the hands of the other side; The Jeonnam Tenryu suffered a losing streak after winning the opening game, although they were tied to Melbourne City in the just-concluded match, but they only had theoretical hope of qualifying in four rounds of 4 points; and Daegu FC, although it defeated Singapore Lion City in the second round, scored 4 points against Urawa Red Diamonds in a key game and also mastered the initiative to qualify. As for Jeonbuk Hyundai Motor, which was not optimistic before the race, with a wave of two consecutive wins, it has jumped to the top of the standings and has also gained the initiative to qualify. It is worth mentioning that this year's AFC Champions League was first concentrated in April, and each team will play a game in 2 days, which is indeed a test of the physical fitness of the players. For those teams with more veterans, they can only take the form of rotation to preserve their strength. Next week, the group stage will all be over, and whoever can survive in the end will be fought with all their might.

In another must-win, the bottom-ranked Busan ushered in the challenge of rival Anyang, who was in the lead for most of the time, and was not safe in the late quarter of injury time, and was equalized by the opponent's foreign assistant Acosti. The 1-1 result, although Busan overtook Ansan and the standings were no longer at the bottom, but it was still unable to explain to the fans.
