On April 25, Beijing time, after experiencing the World Preliminary Tournament some time ago, domestic fans once again experienced a disappointing journey towards the national football team, but the topic of Chinese football has never stopped, and the group stage of the AFC Champions League has been held as scheduled. This time the AFC Champions League is different from the previous one, although domestic clubs will still send teams to play, but due to various factors, domestic clubs have chosen to send youth troops to play. This has also created a big score failure of Taishan and Guangzhou, such as Taishan and Guangzhou, which has a big score of 0-5 or even 0-8, which has also created another joke in Chinese football.
Although people familiar with the matter know that behind these big score failures is the lack of strength of the youth army, it also shows the fatigue of Chinese football. However, in today's matchday, Shandong Taishan lost 2-3 to the Lion City Mariners, and the two goals he scored became very precious goals. After all, in the previous group stage, the domestic young players basically did not have the opportunity to score goals, on the other hand, Taishan's side was simply defeated, don't look at the result of the game or lost, but these two goals are still enough for the experience of young Chinese players.
Han Qiaosheng, a well-known football media personality, also expressed his views on this after watching this game, he felt that although Shandong Taishan lost the game, at least the Chinese team has achieved a breakthrough of zero. The last time Shandong Taishan started a good start for the Chinese team to get points for the first time, and this time it made a good start to the first goal, which shows that the younger generation of players in Shandong Taishan do have merit. They did make corresponding tactical arrangements for these games, and they did show their strength and spirit on the field.
In the four games, Shandong Taishan's performance has gone from losing 7-0 to 5-0 to losing 0-0 in the back, and now losing the game 3-2, all of which has been significantly improved after the players who performed Shandong Taishan have experienced the trials of this period of play. Although their points are still the last place in the group, Han Qiaosheng believes that as long as they are given enough time, they can still prove themselves. This is a good start to the Chinese football youth training system, which allows the younger generation of players to experience these games as early as possible, and can also allow them to grow up faster.
And Han Qiaosheng also took stock of the youth training of these players in Shandong Taishan in recent years, from the official data survey in 2000, the number of shandong players registered reached 2,000, which already occupied half of the Chinese players that year. Now, 20 years later, Shandong's players have once again proved themselves on the stage of the AFC Champions League. Therefore, the youth training system of Chinese football still has some merits, at least in Shandong, the youth training system is doing well, if other teams and provinces can learn from Shandong Taishan, then why worry about Chinese football without excellent young players?
I have to say that this game also gives some football fans who really understand the ball to see a little hope, after experiencing many failures in the Chinese men's football world preliminary round, losing to a team like Vietnam has made Chinese football deeply nailed to the column of shame. However, there are still players who have not given up, and in this urgent need for young players to grow up, at least the players in Shandong Taishan have not given up. The significance of this game is very significant, but I hope that they can continue this momentum and not let this game be short-lived.
