On October 25, following the three towns of Wuhan in last night's historic battle for the first time in the AFC Champions League victory, Zhejiang and Shandong Taishan also in this round of the AFC Champions League flagged victory, the Chinese Super League army in the AFC Champions League regained a long time to win the scene.
On October 24th, Wuhan Three Town sat at home and achieved their first AFC Champions League win with a 2-1 victory over Hanoi of Vietnam, relying on goals from Wei Shihao and Malcolm. On October 25, Zhejiang beat Kofu Fenglin 2-0 with goals from foreigners Mu Xiekui and Lucas. Shandong Taishan, on the other hand, beat Incheon United 2-0 with foreigners Fellaini and Cressan scoring a goal each.
Despite all three teams winning in the same round, only Shandong Taishan are currently leading the AFC Champions League group table and are expected to hit the knockout stage. Zhejiang is still at the bottom of the group, and Wuhan Sanzhen is in third place, so the prospect of getting out of the group is not optimistic.
It is worth mentioning that the three teams scored six goals in this round, but only one was done by a local player, a situation that can't help but make fans feel worried about next month's World Cup qualifiers.
However, only one Chinese player scored.
"Five of the six goals were scored by outside backs, and after all these years, it seems like everyone thinks that's okay."
More embarrassingly, Shanghai Harbour, the top-ranked team in the Chinese Super League and home to many international players, unexpectedly exited the AFC Champions League playoffs, with the internationals on the team not even getting a chance to sharpen their skills in the Asian game. With all three teams winning at the same time, Seaport inevitably became the center of discussion among fans.
In contrast, the league champions have been at their worst.
"When you're winning, it looks awkward for anyone to be absent."
