The representative of Kawasaki 2, the only seedling of the Chinese Super League, drew Mount Tai in the AFC Champions League and became a gift package
The one-eighth match of the AFC Champions League in the 2023-24 season has been announced on the 28th Beijing time. Shandong Taishan, the "lone seedling" of the Chinese Super League, was placed in the worst group, and their opponent was the old team of the Japanese J-League, Kawasaki Frontale.
It is worth mentioning that when they pulled out Shandong Taishan, the players of Kawasaki Frontale showed happy expressions and took pictures with their mobile phones. For them, this draw is almost a sure thing.
The Kawasaki spokesperson is also understandably so confident, as the Kawasaki Frontale is now worth €16.28 million in the team. In comparison, Shandong Taishan's transfer fee is as high as 10.1 million, coupled with the huge difference in strength between the two sides, Taishan will lose to Kawasaki in all aspects.
In addition, Taishan has always been at a disadvantage in the head-to-head meetings with Japan, with Japan FC scoring 7-2-2-11-11-23 goals and conceding 40 goals in 20 matches. Especially this season, Taishan was beaten twice by Yokohama Mariners in the league. And in Tarzan's team, he has never played against Kawasaki shooters. Whether this edition of Tarzan will be able to counter the opponent's light opponent on the court is a matter of concern.
