Tonight, August 30th, Beijing time, the drums of the 2023 CFA Cup Quarter-Finals were beating, and two exciting matches were played first. According to the rules of the game, once the game is tied, the two sides will enter a brutal penalty shootout. CCTV joined hands with multiple platforms to live broadcast the Men's Basketball World Cup match between the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and the Puerto Rican Men's Basketball Team. At the same time, local TV stations, Migu Video, Thunder Sports, Soccer Channel, Live Bar and other platforms will also synchronize the live broadcast on TV, the Internet, cell phones and other multi-channels.
At 18:30, the Dalian People's Football Team will face Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, a veteran of the Chinese Super League, at Jinzhou Stadium. The match will be webcast live on CCTV Sports Client CCTV5APP and televised live on Tianjin Radio and TV Sports Channel. Last year, Xie Hui's team made a name for themselves in the Chinese Super League with their aggressive attacking tactics. However, they have encountered difficulties this season and are currently fighting relegation at the bottom of the Chinese Super League table. For this match, Xie Hui is expected to send a substitute lineup to focus on the relegation battle in the league. At the pre-match conference, Xie Hui said that the players hope to perform in the previous two Super League matches.
Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, coached by Yu Genwei, are currently eighth in the Chinese Super League (CSL) table, with no pressure to win the title nor worry about relegation, so they can go all out in the F.A.C. Cup. I watched the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' pre-match training at the Jinzhou Stadium, where all the foreign players were present, with international players such as Barton, Wang Qiuming and Yu Yang. In tonight's match, the superior Tianjin Jinmen Tigers are likely to send their strongest lineup to compete for the AFC Cup quarterfinals. Just in case, the team also specialized in penalty kick practice.
At 19:30, Shanghai Shenhua will challenge Chongqing Tongliang Dragons away from home. CCTV sports event channel CCTV5+ and Shanghai Five Star Sports will simulcast the match on TV. Shanghai Shenhua, coached by Wu Jingui, are third in the Chinese Super League standings, but with a gap of 11 points to leading Shanghai Harbor, they have little hope of winning the title. Competing for the AFC Cup title has become their most realistic goal. According to the system, the use of foreign aid in the AFC Cup is based on the rules for lower-level teams. Shanghai Shenhua will play with a full Chinese squad, with players such as Wu Xi, Han Chao and Cao Hiding expected to play.
Chongqing Tongliang Dragons, the leader of the China B Cup, have been surging in the AFC Cup this season, and they also have a clear advantage in the league. Facing the powerful Chongqing Tongliang Dragons, Shanghai Shenhua dare not take it lightly, although they have a slight advantage in experience and staffing. Chengdu Rongcheng, a Chinese Super League cyber celebrity team that once boasted a number of prospective foreign aiders, has recovered its former style, excels at picking fights and has high morale!
What will be the outcome of the two matches in the FA Cup tonight? Let's look forward to it together!
