On the evening of December 7th, Beijing time, in the 2020 AFC Champions League 1/8 finals in Doha, Qatar, the Chinese Super League Shanghai SIPG lost 0-2 to the victory of Kobe, Japan led by former Barcelona star Iniesta fleet. So far, among the 4 Chinese Super League teams participating in the current AFC Champions League, Shanghai Shenhua, Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai SIPG have been eliminated one after another. The important task for China's professional football to compete in the AFC is in Beijing. He Guoan team shoulders.
In the last two rounds of Group H in the AFC Champions League group stage, SIPG, which had advanced from the group, lost to Australia’s Sydney FC and South Korea’s Jeonbuk Hyundai. In this game, SIPG coach Pereira played his main role. The controversial player, although the Brazilian foreign aid Hulk posted a photo of himself training in SIPG's training uniform through the social platform before the game, he still did not appear in the SIPG team's match lineup. Since his appearance in the 3rd round of the group stage in the SIPG vs. Japan Yokohama Mariners match, he has failed to represent SIPG in 4 consecutive rounds. As Hulk’s contract with SIPG expires at the end of this year, the third round of the group stage is likely to be the last game that the Brazilian will play for SIPG.
SIPG, which lacks Hulk, still has master players like former Brazil international Oscar, but it is still inferior to its opponents in terms of overall coordination. Under Iniesta's needle thread, the Kobe Victory Fleet's offensive kicked vigorously. In the 31st minute, Kobe Victory Team Yamakawa Tetsushi sent a cross from the right, and Yamaguchi Hotaru made a straight pass into the penalty area. Iniesta took the ball and turned around to get rid of the strong shot and broke the net to help the team take the lead. In the 50th minute, Furuhashi Hengwu made a pass from the left and assisted Nishidawu with a difficult shot. The Kobe Victory ship made another victory. This goal smashed SIPG’s confidence in counterattack to some extent. The 0 to 2 score remained until the end.
With SIPG's 1/8 finals, only one team from Beijing Zhonghe Guoan remains in the AFC Champions League among the 4 Super League teams. From the perspective of the previous stages of the competition, the Sino-Herbal Guoan team wants to go to the next level, and I am afraid it needs to seek breakthroughs in the Japanese and Korean teams.
