How to treat the first match of Shandong Luneng AFC Champions League?
Judging from the course of the competition, this is an atypical confrontation between Chinese and Japanese clubs. Luneng rebelled against the conservatism of Super League teams in past away games. After the opening, he attacked his opponent, fought fiercely, resolutely inserted, and broke through with confidence, making it difficult for opponents with delicate skills to give full play to their strengths. It can be said that the Super League team has played a rare domineering role in the AFC Champions League in recent years, which is gratifying. This hard-won victory is reminiscent of the just-concluded East Asian semi-finals. On February 6th, China not only stubbornly drew the host Japanese team in a slightly inferior confrontation, but also almost took advantage of the penalty opportunity to beat this formidable enemy for many years before the end, which made people see the hope of China's football bottoming out. Perhaps because of the east wind and morale of the national team, Luneng dared to attack his opponent away from home when facing the Japanese team on the evening of the 24th. From this point of view, it is worth learning from the other three super league teams. Of course, objectively speaking, Hiroshima Sanjian was only the fourth player in the J League last season, and also the new army in the AFC Champions League. Luneng team also revealed that there are hidden dangers in the running-in cooperation between the central defender and the left defender, and the rhythm of attack and defense and passing the ball are too slow, which obviously did not enter the best state. However, Luneng's victory is commendable. Looking back on the achievements of Chinese Super League teams in AFC Champions League in recent years, even top teams often lose at the feet of three or four teams in J League, and it is even more difficult to win opponents away. From this point of view, Luneng's victory, like the rise of the national football team in the top four in East Asia, is timely and crucial. It is a great encouragement to the Super League, which has suffered from fraud, gambling and blackness, and to the Chinese Super League team that is languishing in the AFC Champions League. With the deepening of the recent anti-counterfeiting and anti-gambling storm in China football, the Disciplinary Committee of China Football Association issued a fine to three anti-counterfeiting clubs on 23rd, which not only deterred a handful of black sheep with ulterior motives, but also played an escort role for those serious players and clubs. With a healthy league environment, the Super League team can have no worries in the fierce AFC Champions League and put all their minds on the court, which may also bring more surprises to the Chinese people in the real competition with Japan and South Korea.
