Win! On February 20, in the second leg of the AFC Champions League 1 8 finals, Shandong Taishan defeated Kawasaki Frontale 4:2 away and successfully advanced to the next round with a total score of 6:5. A tear-jerking game! The only seedling in the Super League, the second kill! Shandong Taishan brings a ray of sunshine to cold Chinese football!
Speaking of Shandong Taishan, it is familiar to old fans as the "best professional household" of the AFC Champions League:
In the 2000-2001 Asian Club Cup (the predecessor of the AFC Champions League), this was the first time Shandong Luneng participated in Asian competitions, Luneng defeated the Japanese J League champion Iwata Gobilo 2:6, and then in the game against Suwon Samsung, it was beaten 6:0, which is the famous "Makassar **".
In 2005, the Taishan team led by Zheng Zhi and Li Xiaopeng won all 6 games in the group stage and entered the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals away to Saudi Arabia's Ittihad, Luneng lost 2:7, and head coach Tuba, players Zheng Zhi and Bhasin were all expelled from the game with red cards.
In the 2007 AFC Champions League, Luneng lost 0:3 to Chengnan Yihe.
In the 2009 AFC Champions League, he lost 2:4 to Sriwijaya after leading by 2 goals.
In the 2011 AFC Champions League, they lost 0:4 to Osaka Sakura.
In the group stage of the 2015 AFC Champions League, he lost 1:4 to Jeonbuk Hyundai twice.
In 2016, Shandong Luneng lost 1-4 at home to FC Seoul.
Shandong Luneng, a layman in foreign wars, never seems to have disappointed fans, and even at the recent AFC Champions League knockout draw ceremony, the representative of Kawasaki Frontale snickered because of the Chinese team, and the status of Chinese football in Asia can be seen.
History has not repeated itself, and the hatred of Shandong people for the Japanese is deep in their bones. Shandong people have been heroic since ancient times, and this time, Shandong Taishan has won a game for Chinese football.
Fans who have watched this game will say that it is addictive. I haven't seen such a wonderful Chinese football for a long time, Chinese football has a long way to go, and I hope that this game of Shandong Taishan can make more football lovers see hope.
After the game, many fans ridiculed: "The runner-up of the Chinese Super League is so powerful, isn't the champion even more powerful?" "Hehe, there are too many jokes in Chinese football, what's the point of choosing to avoid the AFC Champions League to compete for the Chinese Super League championship? The active players have no responsibility, who will carry the banner of Chinese football and rush forward? Today's performance of the Shandong Taishan team is commendable, and I hope that the Taishan team representing Shandong can go further in the future.
