Media observer Ice Cold gave a sharp insight into the second round of the AFC Champions League group stage on social media platforms. He pointed out that the three Chinese Super League (CSL) teams lost, a phenomenon that reveals the existing strength of the CSL. If this trend continues, the Chinese Super League in the AFC Champions League participation in the seat will be reduced sharply, this is an irreversible trend.
In the second round of the group stage of the AFC Champions League, Shandong Taishan home against Yokohama Mariners to 0-1 defeat, Wuhan three towns away to challenge the Pohang iron to 1-3 loss, Zhejiang team at home to face Melbourne to 1-2 loss. In this regard, chilling straight:
The second day of the AFC Champions League ended with the three Chinese Super League (CSL) players losing one after another. They failed to win against Japan, South Korea and Australia, which undoubtedly maps the current state of the Chinese Super League. Once on a par with the four major leagues in East Asia, the Chinese Super League is now no different from the top teams in Southeast Asia.
If the super foreigners leave in droves next year, the strength of the Chinese Super League will decline further. To gain a foothold on the top stage of Asian soccer, the Chinese Super League can no longer indulge in the huge investments of the past. With continued losses, it is inevitable that they will lose their place in the competition. In the long run, it may even face the predicament of not even being able to ask for the Asian Championship.
