Yesterday, the draw for the AFC Champions League's last eight was released, with Shanghai Hong Kong and Evergrande, as well as Urawa and Kawasaki, set to play the national derby in the two semifinal rounds of the East Asian zone, respectively. How did the Japanese netizens next door comment under the news about this result?
Major Japanese media reported the news first after the draw results came out. Most netizens in the comment section said it was acceptable:
--I'm sure you'll be able to play without any problems.
[Looks like Poho fans are still reeling from the fear of their team being hounded by Jeju United ......]
--Was it a measure to avoid a derby in the final four (or final for East Asia, I guess)?
--It's an 8-4 match, right? If you think about it in a good way, the Japanese team will make it to the quarterfinals no matter what.
--Traveling is reduced, which is also nice.
--(Good news) The winning side can throw up their arms and cheer!
--Both sides raise the flag of the Rising Sun and fight squarely.
[Rising Sun Flag? If your team wants an empty stadium for the semifinals, come on down.
--- Look closely at the picture, wasn't the other game a matchup of two Chinese teams.
--That's complicated...but it can't be helped. Let's hope both teams go for it.
--How's the punishment for the Korean team going?
Japan's 2ch** is actually calm this time. Looks like our friends next door are pretty happy with the results of the lottery.
-Congratulations to the Japanese team for making it to the quarterfinals
--One of them is going to the quarterfinals anyway, so I don't think it's too bad.
--Duel (East Asia) must be a Japan-China showdown, so the atmosphere will be great, right?
-Semi-final should be Evergrande vs. Urawa, since Kawasaki seems to be very weak in the internal battle.
Finally... Everyone can read it, right?
