AFC is angry, wants to punish Chinese football in the Asian tournament
The teams in the Chinese Super League every year have 4 places to participate in the AFC Champions League. In which, 3 teams directly entered the group stage, and 1 team competed in the play-off.
However, in the last 2 seasons, Chinese teams have not shown any interest in this arena. They went from dropping out of the tournament to sending a young team to participate, thereby having to receive very heavy defeats. This affects the prestige and quality of the AFC Champions League.
As revealed by the Sohu newspaper, the leaders of the AFC were very angry when they saw the behavior of the Chinese teams. Therefore, the AFC is considering cutting the AFC Champions League spots of the teams in the Chinese Super League.
Specifically, AFC intends to reduce the number of Chinese teams from 4 to exactly 1. This number is only equal to the current V.League.
Teams in China continuously receive sad results at the 2022 AFC Champions League.
Sheet Sohu Comments on the current status of Chinese teams participating in the AFC Champions League: “Chinese teams seem to consider participating in the AFC Champions League like a burden. They are leaving a stain on the history of this tournament.
With 4 teams participating in the AFC Champions League this season, up to 2 teams withdrew. The other two teams sent the U21 team to attend and of course had to receive very strong defeats.
According to the latest information, the players of Guangzhou FC are showing a depressed attitude. Their spirits were almost broken and they just wanted to go home early. The heavy defeats put the players under great psychological pressure, in addition, they were constantly cursed by the assistant coach.”
The “nightmare” of Chinese teams in the AFC Champions League certainly hasn’t stopped. They still have 4 more matches in front of them, while the players’ morale has bottomed out.
