On August 17, Beijing time, when the Shandong Taishan team that defeated Bangkok United in the Asian Elite Qualifying Tournament was released in the Asian Elite Tournament, the Shandong Taishan team, which had to play against 6 Japanese and South Korean teams, has not yet ended the poor situation brought by the Japanese and South Korean teams to the Shandong Taishan team, and has to face these Asian strong teams Shandong Taishan, I feel that the practice of choosing to play in the top Asian events again is really not wise.
For Shandong Taishan team won Bangkok United to advance to the Asian Elite Tournament, Thai media believes that this is the Thai Super League giants Bangkok United deliberately, according to the strength of Bangkok United in the Asian arena and the Japanese and South Korean teams to break their wrists, 6 foreign aid Bangkok United wants to defeat the fish belly team Shandong Taishan is not a problem at all, but when Bangkok United saw that the Japanese and South Korean teams that played in the Asian League last season, including the Chinese Super League teams, were exhausted in their own local leagues, choosing to let the Shandong Taishan team win the move is also a small trick of Bangkok United.
Thai media believes that Yokohama Mariners and Kawasaki Frontale, who had good results in the Asian arena last year, can only rank 11th and 14th in the J-1 League, Kofu Fenglin is also ranked 14th in the J-2 League, Jeonbuk Hyundai is also ranked 2nd from the bottom in the K League, and Shandong Taishan can only rank 5th in the Chinese Super League. After comparing the different fates of the Harbour and the teams focusing on the AFC Champions League, Bangkok United followed the example of the Harbour to send Shandong Taishan to the main match of the Asian Classic, which can be regarded as a small ploy deliberately played by Bangkok United.
