Let’s kick Chinese clubs out of the AFC Champions League!

Due to various reasons such as the overlapping match schedule with the national championship, the strict Zero COVID policy in the country, but Chinese clubs, teams, and teams can only send young people to compete. At this moment, Shandong Taisan and Guangzhou are becoming the “balloon basket” for the opponents in the table.

After the first 2 rounds AFC Champions League 2022, Guangzhou lost to Johor 0-5, lost to Kawasaki Frontale 0-8, Shandong Taishan lost 0-7 to Daegu FC and 0-5 to Urawa Red. A total of the past 2 seasons, Chinese clubs drew 1, lost 16 matches and received a total of 66 goals (average more than 4 goals/match.

All make them receive the humiliation. “This can no longer be called a failure, rather it should be called a shame, a humiliation.” Sports Trend emphasize. “Chinese football is on the verge of collapse. Their national league teams are mainly owned by real estate companies that are struggling in business.

Therefore, they did not have an abundant “gourd” to function as before. The disbandment of champion Jiangsu Suning last year has worried fans. At this moment, most of the remaining teams are struggling to support themselves and they can’t even pay the players’ salaries.

Chinese clubs are like “kick to the end” in the continental arena

It seems that the situation will not be improved in the next match. Currently, the financial crisis of Chinese Super League clubs makes people fear that the situation will become more and more serious. Therefore, they should solve their internal problems before considering participating in the AFC Champions League.”

Sharing this view is Uri Levy, a sports writer who has worked with BBC, Daily Mail… Levy is a long-time follower of Asian football and he just said: “AFC should separate all Chinese clubs from the AFC Champions League. Many big defeats against opponents have left a gap. between Chinese football and the rest.

It was a disaster for Asian football. It’s not good to help elevate the continent’s football. Big losses by Chinese clubs can have unpredictable consequences.”
