Of course, in the AFC Champions League, the teams are divided into different tiers according to their rank. What is clear is that next season's qualifiers for the intercontinental tournament include the winner, runner-up and third-place finishers of the Chinese Super League, as well as Shanghai Shenhua, the reigning champions of the AFC Cup. The FA has continued to emphasize the need to shape Asia's top league, so the performance of the Chinese Super League teams in the AFC Champions League will have a direct bearing on whether we can be among Asia's top teams.
Imagine a Chinese Super League team can dominate in the domestic league, but in the Asian tournament at once, which undoubtedly exposes the lack of gold content of the Chinese Super League championship. For fans in some areas, if they are only satisfied with the fun of watching the Chinese Super League, then the dream of Asian domination is only a dream in the mirror.
Meanwhile, the elimination of Shandong Taishan has triggered a deep reflection by the Football Association (FA), according to a new report by national soccer team reporter Ma Dexing. After the team's participation in the AFC Champions League, especially when facing knockout matches and key matchups, should the CFA actively intervene to help the team adjust the pace of the game so that they can have more time to prepare for the match?
