Completed yesterday in the second round of the AFC Champions League group stage competition, by the team and second-string players composed of the Guangzhou team to 0-8 defeat in Japan Kawasaki Striker, not only created a Chinese team to fight in the AFC Champions League since the most disparate loss score, and the first half lost 5 goals also rewrite the AFC Champions League in the last 16 years, a new record.
It was Guangzhou's second crushing defeat in this season's AFC Champions League, losing 0-5 to hosts Johor Malaysia in the first round of the competition. The other team

Team Shandong Taishan also suffered a heavy defeat in the first round, as the young team with an average age of less than 20 was beaten 7-0 by Daegu of South Korea. In the second round, they lost 0-5 to Urawa Red Diamonds of Japan.

One embarrassing fiasco after another, one can't help but wonder if there is any value in continuing to compete in this way.
The value of practicing? Let a group of almost even the domestic top league have not played young players, directly in the Asian salon of the top field football, this is not called let them "experience the big scene", but the equivalent of letting elementary school students to do college entrance examination questions. The value of technical and tactical exercises is very doubtful, because they are on the field by the opponent scheduling exhausted, to say drill running, can go home directly to practice, why the need to come all the way here?
Moreover, since the competition is revealed, such a fiasco, and successive fiascoes at that, is likely to have a greater negative impact on their minds, thus affecting their future careers. Ex

Goalkeeper Au Chuliang has flagged his opposition to allowing young players to participate in high-level competitions like the AFC Champions League too early.
Falling down a well is, originally young players at least have the vigor, impetus to be able to compensate for the lack of technical and tactical to a certain extent; but this time, the last game Guan Haojin in the ground can not see the ball in the case of kicking the face of the opposing player, the red card itself is not controversial, I did not expect the Guangzhou team after the game announced that the Guan Haojin was dismissed on the spot.
The penalty, which lacked a satisfying basis, set off more controversy than the foul itself, and what happened to the not-so-young Guan Haojin was a terrible revelation to his younger teammates.
Sure enough, in the second game, Guangzhou players in the scramble completely dare not let go of limbs, only afraid to step Guan Haojin's dust, the first half of the conceded 5 goals, but only 4 fouls, the number of fouls is not as much as conceding the ball. Such a share in the soccer competition is very rare, when the weak side even scramble to self-fettered limbs, a crushing defeat has been nailed on.

The team's sorry, but will the AFC take it on the chin? I'm afraid not. Sending a team in reduces the competitiveness and spectacle of the competition, and even affects the fairness of the competition - as the intensity of the six rounds of the group stage can be far different between a group with a team in it and a group with a first-team squad.
There is no denying that now

The team's survival environment is very difficult, facing a lot of uncertainty, go abroad to participate in the obstacles, but now thousands of miles abroad to play the AFC Champions League, but it has become all aspects of the "loss" of things.
Fiascoes are not to be feared, what is to be feared is meaningless fiascoes.
Is the "value of race training" really that significant?
China Super League (soccer league)
Is it really necessary to "assist" the AFC to keep the AFC Champions League in good standing? And what lessons can the young players learn from this fiasco? All of this remains to be considered by the decision makers at the salon.
