On October 19th, a key battle was staged in the 1/8th final of the AFC Cup, in which Shenzhen and Cangzhou met each other on a narrow road. Surprisingly, Gao Lin, the captain of the Shenzhen team, was not included in the list of players for this game. It was reported that Gao Lin was suffering from gastroenteritis and had returned to Shenzhen to prepare for surgery.
Soccer reporter Lin Benjian revealed that the veteran Gao Lin, who suffered from gastroenteritis in Changchun, has returned to Shenzhen and is preparing to undergo gastroenterological surgery. He is expected to return to the field in November. It is worth mentioning that the Shenzhen soccer team wore Gao Lin's jersey in the pre-match group photo of the AFC Cup this afternoon, hoping for his early recovery.
Cangzhou is not an unfamiliar foe for SZF. In the past two years, the two teams have met many times. Last season, they met in the semifinals of the relegation group, the deep football in the first round to 1:0 score shutout opponents, the next round to 2:2 draw, and ultimately successful relegation. This season, the two teams are again in the same points in Guangzhou, each won a game.
