This season, due to the increased investment of many teams in the Super League, Guangzhou Evergrande ushered in the most difficult season to dominate the Super League. Coupled with the team's lack of reinforcement and lineup, Scolari's team's dominance and control have declined seriously. As a result, it is more and more difficult to win, and the number of times you lose to your opponent is increasing. Although this season's Super League champion is still a shoo-in, losing the FA Cup and AFC Champions League in succession has been unable to cover up a series of crises of Guangzhou Evergrande, among which six humiliating records have made this year's defending the title the worst season.
First, the biggest losing score in team history
In the first leg of AFC Champions League 1/4 final, Guangzhou Evergrande was completely bombed by Shanghai in the absence of two main midfielders, paulinho and Huang Bowen, and finally lost by 0-4. This score is also the biggest losing score in the history of Guangzhou Evergrande. The previous record was 20 1 1 the final round of the Super League. Jiangsu Shuntian was a substitute team and eventually lost to this game 2-5. Even if 20 13 and 20 15 lost to Bayern and Barcelona respectively in the World Club Cup, they all lost 0-3.
Second, the team's biggest home defeat record
Guangzhou Evergrande lost to Shanghai with 1-4 in the second leg of the FA Cup semi-final, which not only set the record of losing at home in team history, but also ended the unbeaten record of 56 home games in various events. The last biggest loss score at home can be traced back to the last round of the AFC Champions League in 20 12 season, which was defeated by Jeonbuk Hyundai 1-3.
Third, the Super League suffered a two-game losing streak.
Since 20 1 1 dominated the Super League, Guangzhou Evergrande has never suffered a two-game losing streak. Although it has lost twice every season, even more than two or three games, it actually appeared twice in the 20 17 season. The first time lost to Tianjin Quanjian and Beijing Guoan in 15 and 16 rounds respectively, the second time lost to Huaxia Happiness in the 29th round and Tianjin Quanjian in the 30th round. The two-game losing streak in the league shows that Guangzhou Evergrande's dominance in the Super League is getting weaker and weaker.
Fourth, stop the unbeaten record of Shanghai, Luneng and Huaxia.
Before the 20 17 season, Guangzhou Evergrande remained unbeaten in the matches against Shanghai Shanghai, Shandong Luneng and Huaxia Happiness. 5 wins and 5 draws against Shanghai 10, 6 wins and 6 draws against Shandong Luneng, and 4 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses against Huaxia Happiness. However, this season, Guangzhou Evergrande broke this record in three aspects. The second round away game of the Super League was reversed by Shandong Luneng 1-2, the first leg away game of the FA Cup semi-final was defeated by Shanghai Shanggang 1-2, and the 29th round away game of the Super League lost to Huaxia Happiness 0-3.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) The unbeaten record of the team's historical league and various events at home has a long history.
Guangzhou Evergrande maintained an unbeaten record of 44 home games before losing to Tianjin Quanjian at home with 1-2. The last loss can be traced back to the 29th round of the 20 14 season, and the home game was 0- 1 lost to Beijing Guoan. This time, after losing to Quanjian in Tianjin at home, this record is really gone. At the same time, in addition to the home record of the league this season, the unbeaten home record of various events in the team's history has also been broken. After the FA Cup semi-final round 1-4 lost to Shanghai, Guangzhou Evergrande maintained its unbeaten record of 56 home games, ending. The last home defeat was a 2-0 loss to West Sydney Wanderers in the AFC Champions League group match of 20 15.
6. The number of goals conceded in the league reached a record high.
After losing to Tianjin Quanjian at home 1-2 this round, Guangzhou Evergrande conceded 42 goals in the league this season, which also created a new high since the team rose to the Super League in history. The previous record was 30 goals conceded in 30 rounds in the 20 12 season. In the other five seasons, the league goals conceded were 20 1 1, 20 13, 18, 20 14, 20 15, 28, 20 16.
The winner is king. Although there are various shortcomings, winning the championship is still worth celebrating.
