At 6 p.m. Beijing time on March 6, the first round of the AFC Champions League 1 4 began, and Shandong Luneng will play Yokohama Mariners at home, which is also their only team in the AFC Champions League.
In this battle, Shandong Luneng played well, no worse than the Yokohama Mariners, but their striker Cressan was injured, which greatly reduced their midfield efficiency, and finally Shandong Luneng lost to the Yokohama Mariner 1:2 and lost the lead in the two-legged knockout round.
Although Shandong Luneng lost a point, there is no need to be discouraged, after all, the strength of the Yokohama Mariners is not as strong as imagined, if Cressan and Liu Binbin are back, then Shandong's forward line will become stronger, and then they will have a great chance to beat the Yokohama Mariner.
In addition, despite the loss of Shandong Luneng, the head coach of the national team, Ivankovic, got an unexpected news when he observed the national team players. Fernando, the player who has been left out in many games, is now completely **. In this match, Fernando not only got an important position in the game, he also played very well. As a wide player for Luneng, he has not only performed well, but also shown excellent attacking ability, and has been excellent in previous games.
Statistics show that Fernando is the most dangerous player for Luneng forwards, with 68 minutes contributing six key goals; A gorgeous breakthrough; In addition to this, he also caused a yellow card to Taiki Watanabe. Fernando's heroic performance reminded Chinese fans of Chongqing's former glory.
The World Cup qualifiers are just around the corner, and the new coach of the national team, Ivankovic, has been worrying about the selection of the national team. Especially in the forward position, how to choose a midfielder to lead the national team's attack has always been Ivankovic's biggest problem. Now, Fernando's outstanding performance in the AFC Champions League has made Ivankovic very satisfied. If there is such a creative player as Fernando in the forward position, why worry about not having enough strikers? In this context, Fernando's sudden rise is a good thing for the National Football Association.
The appearance of Fernando has become Ivankovic's biggest gain, and in the World Cup qualifiers, Fernando is likely to be favored by Ivankovic and return to China. We hope that Fernando can create more miracles for the fans in China.
