On September 20th, the AFC Champions League will be held in Wuhan for the first time. Defending champion of the Chinese Super League, Wuhan Sanzhen, will take the seat in Wuhan Sports Center to meet Puhe Red Diamond, who is visiting from Japan. This is also the second time that the Super League team has ushered in the AFC Champions League at home after a lapse of 1485 days.
In recent years, China's participation in the international arena is relatively low. After failing to capture the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, he drew with Malaysia in the just-concluded home friendly match, regretting Syria.
For domestic fans, it is a rare opportunity for three super league teams to go to the AFC Champions League, and it is also an opportunity to understand the differences between domestic and foreign leagues more directly, which has attracted the attention and discussion of the fans.
As the defending champions of the Chinese Super League, the three towns in Wuhan participated in the AFC Champions Group draw as a first-class team, and the final draw result can be described as "signing".
Team analysis
Before stepping on the AFC Champions League, the three towns in Wuhan won three consecutive victories in the domestic league. In the face of the recent turnover of team personnel, head coach Gao Gaomian is constantly trying more ways to play. Now, the team has gradually formed a frontcourt attack group composed of Wei Shi Hao, Aziz and Malkin, and is trying to activate the flexibility of frontcourt players, improve the counter-attack speed, and at the same time, the team has strengthened the defensive intensity. In the game against Cangzhou team, Park Jisoo repeatedly robbed the other side of foreign aid, and the three central defenders cooperated more tacitly.
In a recently concluded game, the team chose Xie Pengfei, who had just returned from the national team, as a substitute. The injured Marchand failed to play, and Shi Hao and Davidson, who played well, didn't play the whole game, so the frontcourt players got some rest time.
