This season, three teams from the Chinese Super League have participated in the AFC Champions League, they are Shandong Taishan, Wuhan Three Towns and Zhejiang. Although the Wuhan Three Towns team has missed the qualification, the Shandong Taishan team and the Zhejiang team still retain the hope of qualifying from the group. However, in the most recent match, Zhejiang team had a large-scale clash with their opponents, which will lead to them being heavily punished by the AFC, which makes their qualification situation very unoptimistic. However, Zhejiang were not the only Chinese Super League teams to be punished by the AFC, and Shandong Taishan were also fined $1,000 by the AFC.
This news further confirms the AFC's attitude towards the Chinese Super League, which is a disturbing signal. It is understood that the Chinese Football Association is preparing for the 2023 Asian Cup, but due to the epidemic problem, China cannot guarantee that the 2022 Asian Cup can be fully opened, so it postponed the reply to the AFC, which led to the Chinese Football Association and the domestic cities that are ready to host the Asian Cup to suffer a lot of economic losses. This problem has led to the AFC's dissatisfaction with the Chinese Football Association, so it frequently wears small shoes on the international stage, which is especially evident in the World Preliminary Tournament.
In the World Preliminary Tournament, the Chinese team was unfairly punished by the referee in the away game against Thailand. However, the Chinese team finally defeated the Thai team with Wang Shangyuan's goal. This reminds people of the previous process of Chinese football to usher in the Asian Cup after several twists and turns. The development of Chinese football has always attracted much attention, but it has not really risen for various reasons. Despite all kinds of difficulties and challenges, Chinese football has not given up its efforts to pursue its dreams. With the efforts of Chinese football, the future will definitely usher in its own glorious moment.
Recently, the AFC's various injustices are causing strong dissatisfaction among fans and **. In the second round of the group stage, the national football team once again suffered an unfair penalty from the Qatari referee. This penalty decided the direction of the game, and it also seriously affected the tactics of the national football team. Not only that, but clubs in the Chinese Super League have also been suppressed by the AFC, and many clubs have been treated unfairly. The most serious thing is that Zhejiang team broke out in the largest clash in history with rivals Buriram in an AFC Champions League match, and the consequences of this clash will have a serious impact on the team's future.
For the AFC, these injustices and the punishment of the Zhejiang team will be a test. As a football organization, the AFC's mission is to protect the justice and fairness of football, not to unfairly punish a team for the sake of profit. Fans and ** are expecting the AFC to deal with these issues fairly and establish a reasonable and fair image for all football lovers. For the national football team, they need to work harder to improve their strength and avoid falling into the "trap" of referees as much as possible.
For clubs in the Chinese Super League, they also need to continue to work hard to improve their strength and avoid being suppressed. For the Zhejiang team, they need to take their responsibilities, seriously reflect on the mistakes they have made, and take the punishment they deserve. At the same time, the AFC also needs to maintain impartiality and fairness in order to establish an image of impartiality in football. All in all, football is a passionate sport that needs a just and fair environment to reflect its value. The AFC needs to take these issues seriously and establish a reasonable and fair image for football fans.
For fans and **, we need to continue to follow these events and call on the AFC to remain just and fair and make football a better sport.
