China’s Shandong Taishan club received a humiliating 0-7 defeat against the Korean representative Daegu FC
Sheet 163 It was reported that the loss of Shandong Taishan against Daegu FC equaled the record of the heaviest loss of a Chinese team in the AFC Champions League. In the previous season, the Chinese representative Beijing Guoan also lost 0-7 to Kawasaki Frontale (Japan) in the group stage.
In addition, the above loss is also Shandong Taishan’s heaviest defeat in the AFC Champions League. In the past, Shandong Taishan also received heavy defeats in the continental arena. In the first season to attend the AFC Champions League (2000/01), Shandong Taishan lost 2-6 to Jubilo Iwata and 0-6 to Suwon Samsung. In the 2005 season, Shandong Taishan received a 2-7 defeat against Al Ittihad (Saudi Arabia) in the quarterfinals.
At this time, the Chinese fans are extremely frustrated with the loss of Shandong Taishan. The use of a squad with many young players shows that Shandong Taishan has abandoned the AFC Champions League arena.
Meanwhile, Chinese media predicts that this team will receive a stronger defeat in the match against Urawa Reds (Japan) on April 18. Currently, Urawa Reds are ranked 2nd in Group F in the AFC Champions League. To compete for the top of the table, the Japanese club needs to score many goals in the next match.
