On August 16, Beijing time, when the opponents of Shandong Taishan team that defeated Bangkok United in the 8 games of the Asian Elite were all determined, not to mention that among the 6 Japanese and Korean teams, Yokohama Mariners who defeated Taishan 4 times last season, is the first non-Japanese and Korean league opponent of Taishan Johor, which has made Shandong Taishan team the fish belly team in the group stage of the Asian Elite League, and the Johor team, which is stronger than the Malaysia national team, should be the weakest team except Shandong Taishan, but even the second weakest Johor, Judging from the revelations of Mr. Kang Bing, the president of the Beijing Fan Club, the Taishan team wants to use the home advantage to defeat him, and it is estimated that they can only think about it.
Kang Bing said that the first opponent of the Taishan team, Johor, is a team with 13 foreign helpers, the position of these 13 foreign helpers is also very balanced, the combination of 5 forwards, 4 midfielders and 4 defenders, so that Johor has surpassed the Malaysia national team in terms of overall strength, if you count the team's naturalized players, the Johor team is worth a total of 13.25 million euros on the value list, and also exceeds the total value of Shandong Taishan's 12.9 million euros, and it makes Shandong Taishan team sit on the fish belly team in the group stage. In addition, Kang Bing also brought more unfavorable news to Taishan fans, saying that Johor scored 100 goals and conceded only seven goals in 26 games in one season in the Malaysia League last year.
Since the AFC changed the rules this year, there is no limit to the number of foreign aid in the Asian club game, so that Johor can send a starting lineup that is all foreign aid, when the first opponent of the Taishan team started 11 people are all foreign aid, and the bench is also sitting on the foreign aid and naturalized players, such a game Taishan team is estimated to be disarmed in advance, you must know that last season's Johor relied on such a foreign aid lineup, defeated the Asian powerhouse Ulsan Hyundai, so that Johor this year with this lineup to play the fish belly Taishan, it is estimated that the problem should not be big.
