football career from scratch

Chapter 349 Formal Challenge

Time, walked into May.

For the fans of Qianshan, there is no doubt that they are extremely happy this season.

The Chinese League One has played nine rounds so far. They have seven wins and two draws, ranking first. Except for the draw in the first round, they only played in the away game in the sixth round because they retained most of their main players to play in the AFC Champions League. They were tied by the whirlwind, which allowed them to rank first with 23 points, and behind them was another team in Ningshui City, Ningshui Haifeng Siyuan, who also performed well. After recruiting this year, their strength has become quite good.

Ningshui Haifeng Siyuan already possessed quite good strength. After the initial run-in, they quickly achieved good enough results, with six wins, two draws and one loss. The [-] points are only three points less than Qianshan , but for them internally, they didn't have much confidence in shaking Qianshan's position. The bloody [-]-[-] in the pre-season warm-up match made everyone among them have a certain fear of Qianshan. The good thing is that there are three places for rushing armor, and what they have to do is to fight for the middle one of the remaining two places.

The Cyclone has performed very well this year. Although they are only ranked fifth, the points from the fourth to the sixth teams are all 3 points, and No.[-] has only [-] points. They have worked hard After a while, it is not without hope of competing for the top three.

Compared with the normal performance and solid advantage in the first division league, Qianshan invested more in the AFC Champions League and the FA Cup, and their results in the AFC Champions League also made all Qianshan fans feel incomparable Excitement!
After winning two consecutive victories in the first two rounds, in the third and fourth rounds, Qianshan faced the J-League champion Urawa Red Diamonds consecutively. The physical fitness of the players was brought into full play. The midfielder composed of Bu Qingyun, Zhong Bo and Mao Tou, and the forward line composed of Xiaoma, Sun Chuci and Dong Lin, through continuous impact, caused problems in the opponent's defense line. At home, they lost first. One goal, and then tore through the opponent's defense line through continuous impact. Dong Lin scored twice in the game and was the best player. win.

And the disappointment of the other two teams has also made Qianshan's advantage more and more large-the Brisbane Roar suffered another draw at home. Afterwards, Qianshan topped the list with nine points, and the other three teams had only two points. They all lost to Qianshan, and then they were all tied...

This is the worst case, but the best case for Qianshan.

This also made it quite easy for them to challenge the Urawa Reds in the away game, but the Urawa Reds were already cornered and had to attack at their home court!

Under such circumstances, Gao Yuan comfortably commanded the team to play a defensive counterattack. Several fast and impact forwards in the frontcourt were able to thrive under such circumstances, and their defense was also quite good. The less capable Urawa Rubies tried their best and failed to score a goal, which made them lose even more at home. Colt scored a goal through a counterattack, Zhong Bo scored a goal through a set kick, and moved the mountain. Defeated Urawa Red Diamonds [-]-[-] in the away game and achieved a [-]-game winning streak!
The funniest thing is that another game was tied again - the Brisbane Roar used strength and confrontation to achieve a one-to-one draw in the away game. So far, this group has played four rounds, and only Qianshan has won Four wins, no other team has even four wins...

So when the other three teams had only three points at most, Qianshan not only got the right to qualify two rounds in advance, but also secured the first place in the group two rounds in advance...

As a new team, in a group of death, they were able to easily appear two rounds ahead of schedule and secure the first place in the group. This is enough to make the strong teams in other leagues of the AFC feel ashamed and humiliated!
But the Chinese fans are rejoicing at this. They did not play particularly well in the four games in Qianshan, but they won the victory very steadily. The home game was [-]-[-], and the away game was [-]-[-]. He did a great job on both ends of the offense and defense, which made the last two rounds almost a formality.

"Next we can relax a bit, and we can use it to train the team in the group stage."

This is what Gao Yuan said after qualifying ahead of schedule.

This statement was also agreed by everyone, so in the next two group matches, Qianshan began to use a large number of substitute players and practice new tactics, training how to play the game without Bu Qingyun, and then they were clean He lost two games in a row, and no one had any objections to these two losses.

However, once they lost these two games, Jeonbuk Hyundai suffered - they had the same points as the Brisbane Roar, but they were [-]-[-] in the away game, and tied Brisbane [-]-[-] or two at home Ban roared, the relationship between each other was at a disadvantage, and both sides had won two consecutive victories in the last two rounds, so Jeonbuk Hyundai had the same points and two more goal difference, because of the difference in the outcome. Backward and aggrieved, he failed to get the right to qualify for the group stage...

In other competitions, the Chinese Super League clubs also performed very well. Jiangsu Anning and Suwon Samsung qualified together, Yangcheng Yuanda qualified with Sydney FC, and Ganlan qualified with Pohang Iron and Steel. In this way, the top eight in East Asia, China The clubs accounted for half of the places, two in Australia, two in South Korea - the Japanese clubs were very aggrieved and all died in the group stage. Originally, they only entered the group stage. Not playing well, which makes Japanese football look very embarrassing.

But now the problems of Japanese football have also begun to be exposed. They also do not have a good youth training system. They often select potential seedlings from them through national school competitions. They went to play in Europe a long time ago, which led to the fact that although the strength of their national team has been growing, the club does not have too many good players to use. In addition, their economy has not been very good, and they can't buy much. Good foreign aid, so although the results are good most of the time, it has been many years since I won the AFC Champions League.

Four of the Chinese clubs have entered the top eight in the Eastern District, but what is more regrettable is that, in addition to Qianshan and Yilan who both won the first place in the group, Yuanda and An Ning also had some problems in the group stage. Qualifying as the second place in the group, according to the rules of the lottery, it is almost predictable for the Chinese Super League clubs to fight against each other.

After qualifying for the AFC Champions League group, they will immediately usher in the top [-] of the entire region and the group draw of the top [-] of the Eastern District. Regarding this point, Qianshan Shangxia does not seem to care - no matter what team is drawn, it is the same as them Yes, in short, they will run into an opponent who is not weak, and they have a high chance of drawing An Ning or Yuan Da. After all, two of the three teams in the second place are Chinese clubs.

However, the final lottery result made Qianshan feel happy.

They did not draw Jiangsu Anning, nor Yangcheng Yuanda, but met No.2 in the same group as Yilan, the Korean K-League champion Pohang Steelers last year!
"I'm very happy to draw Pohang Steelers... It's not that we think they are weak, but for us, we are eager to meet more foreign teams, so that we can gain more experience "Moanshan also has a big dream, which is to represent Chinese football in the Asian arena and compete for honors in the international arena, so we need more experience in playing against foreign teams. We have one win and one loss against the K-League runner-up, Jeonbuk Hyundai? We are still at a disadvantage in terms of negative relations? As long as anyone with eyes can see, we are not afraid of our opponents. We also won the first round, but we lost to our opponents away to train new talents. The performance is also remarkable. Against Pohang Steelers, we must strive to win, and we must try our best to beat the teams that have double-killed."

The interviews Gao Yuan received after the lottery results came out made the fans of Yilan dissatisfied—they were already a little dissatisfied with the media who always compared Qianshan with Yilan. But Gao Yuan's words obviously started to challenge Yilan!
How can you bear this!

Ever since, vigorous debates have risen again on the Internet.

The fans in the list all put on a very cold attitude, saying that we have nothing to say with a first-tier team, while the fans in Qianshan sneered, saying that we will come to the Super League next year, and let you know how good we are!
Of course, such a mouthpiece will not have any final victory or defeat. It can only be expressed in the confrontation. If you meet in the AFC Champions League or the FA Cup, you will know how powerful it is!
While the fans of the two sides were arguing on the Internet, the clubs of both sides kept quiet. Both sides had to prepare for the knockout round of the AFC Champions League. This is the most important game before the end of the league halfway. Their luck was not much better. As the defending champions, they met last year's Chinese Super League champions, their old rival Yangcheng Yuanda. They had to concentrate on such a confrontation.

You must know that in the first half of the league, Yilan had already met Yuanda once. That match was a match full of sparks. In the end, Yilan only narrowly drew with his opponent. Obviously, Yuanda has done a lot better this year. Even if they lose to Qianshan in the Super Cup, it is enough to prove that they are in the process of running-in this year, and they will become even better after the run-in.

Now Yuanda has almost run in, and they will be the first stumbling block in the knockout round of the AFC Champions League.

Under such circumstances, Yi Lan has no time to be jealous with Qian Shan, and Qian Shan also has no time to fight with them.

So after the arrival of May, although there was a lot of noise on the Internet, both clubs were preparing for the next game in a relatively quiet environment!
