This year's Chinese Super League has ended. Although the Chinese Football Association Cup is not over yet, many fans have already flown to the West Asian arena, because the four teams representing the highest level of the Chinese Super League will begin their AFC Champions League journey. At present, the two Shanghai teams Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai SIPG have arrived in Qatar and are patiently quarantining in the hotel, waiting for the nucleic acid test results. Guangzhou Evergrande and Beijing Guoan will also travel to West Asia in the next few days to report.
Shanghai Shenhua is the first Chinese Super League team to play. They will face Perth Glorious from Australia at 18:00 on November 18. Shanghai Shenhua is currently in a very bad situation. It is still normal for the wounded to be full, but according to the Shanghai media "Thoughtful Shanghai", the four main players of Moreno, Mbia, Feng Xiaoting and Bi Jinhao will all be in the glorious match with Perth. Comeback. However, the main scorer Jin Xinyu, wing assaulter Cao Yunding and main goalkeeper Zeng Cheng still need to continue to recover from their injuries. When they come back, it depends on the situation.
Shanghai SIPG’s situation is relatively better. The four major foreign aids Hulk, Oscar, Mui and Lopez were all selected. Only Anautović was selected by Shanghai because he wanted to return to Europe to participate in the national team competition. Hong Kong gave up. The main goalkeeper Yan Junling, who has missed several Super League games due to injuries before, is also on the list. The first few games may not play, but the next few games can still catch up. Shanghai SIPG’s opponent in the first game is also the Australian team Sydney FC. The match time is at 18:00 on November 19th.
According to the original plan, Guangzhou Evergrande should have arrived in Qatar like the two Shanghai teams at this time. However, due to the retirement of the Malaysian team Johor Bahru (the opponent in the first match), Guangzhou Evergrande deliberately postponed it. For 3 days. It is precisely because of this change that they have enough time to recall Goulart to replace the injured Paulinho and avoid further damage to combat power. Despite this, Guangzhou Evergrande still lost a number of main players, namely Paulinho, Zheng Zhi, Li Xuepeng and Gao Zhunyi, their prospects are not optimistic.
Compared with the other three Chinese Super League teams, Beijing Guoan's situation should be considered the best. Their main lineup is currently free of injuries (Park Sung is still not recovering), only Bacambu has returned to China to participate in the national team competition. Lost in the AFC Champions League list. Although Bakambu is missing, the Chinese nationality of the naturalized player Alan still gives Beijing Guoan the greatest comfort. In addition, the four major foreign aid capabilities of Augusto, Vieira, Jin Minya and Fernando cannot be underestimated. Beijing Guoan has It is very likely to break their best result in the AFC Champions League (top 16).
This season is not easy for the Chinese Super League teams, and it is even more difficult for the four teams participating in the AFC Champions League. I originally thought that the Super League’s schedule was already very dense and the physical strength was close to overdraft, but I did not expect the AFC schedule to be even more" "Fate", has reached the point of 3 days. The good news for is that these four teams have been baptized by the Chinese Super League and know how to deal with too dense schedules. I hope such experience can help them achieve good results in the AFC Champions League.
