The two-day holiday passed in a hurry, and when Luo Ming and other players had not had enough of it, a new round of preparations for the Spring City team began, and they also faced a very serious challenge in the Chinese League.

Chen Song's goal this season is at least to win the championship of the Chinese League, but in front of the Qilu team, which seems to never lose, Chen Song said Alexander.

In order not to fall behind like the Royal Yanjing team in the Chinese League, Chen Song spent a lot of thought, and he tried his best to cultivate a set of rotation formations for the Quancheng team.

In recent days, the preparation of the Quancheng team has revolved around their changing formation.

After the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League, Chen Song has to choose to rotate in the Chinese League again. However, no matter how it is rotated, Lin Qi is the main force of the Quancheng team, and only when Lin Qi is on the field, the victory of the Quancheng team is guaranteed!

However, in the next 26th round of the Chinese League, Lin Qi's goal did not help the Quancheng team win the game.

Lin Qi took the lead for the team in the 22nd minute of the game, but in the later game, they were scored three goals in a row by the opponent, and it was rare to lose 1:3.

Chen Song gave up the game early, and he regarded it as a training for the substitutes of the Quancheng team. The loss at this stage is not fatal for the Quancheng team, as long as they can keep up with the footsteps of the Qilu team, then there is still a chance.

Both the Quancheng team and the Qilu team have a thorough view of the current situation, and they both clearly know that it is difficult for the two teams to open up too much gap in the standings of the Chinese League. And what really determines the ownership of the championship will be the final rounds of the Chinese League!

So both teams have honed their bench players at this time, and when the league reaches its toughest time, the main competition between the two teams will be the depth of their benches.

The schedule of the Chinese League in this world is too dense, and few players can play all the games of the whole season, not even a standard tough guy like Chen Biao.

Therefore, the substitutes are especially important for both teams.

Unlike the Quancheng team, the substitutes of the Qilu team played well in this game, and they won the opponent with a small score of 1:0, and the gap with the Quancheng team increased by three points.

Although it was three points larger with the Qilu team, the Quancheng team did not show too much loss after the game. The result of this match seems to have been what they expected.

It's not hard to see why. The reason why the Quancheng team was able to achieve today's results. In addition to Lin Qi's excellent performance, it also benefited from their strong backline. In this game, none of the main defenders of the Quancheng team appeared. Chen Biao and Xu Zhen, the two double backs, sat on the bench together.

There is no leadership from Chen Biao or Xu Zhen. The Springs backline was crushed by their opponents.

This is a legacy of the last game against the Etihad. In that game, Chen Biao and Xu Zhen both put in considerable effort, and their physical exertion was extremely serious.

They all need to rest for this game. This allowed the Quancheng team to lose the game when Lin Qi helped the team take the lead......

After this round of games, the Quancheng team made a new round of adjustments, Chen Song returned to their previous starting lineup, Chen Biao still started as the main midfielder, and Xu Zhen once again became Chen Biao's substitute.

In the second half of the season, Chen Song tasted the benefits of the double-back formation, and at the same time, he also tasted the bitter fruits brought by the double-back formation, that is, if Chen Biao and Xu Zhen are too physically exhausted, the back line of the Quancheng team will become very incomplete.

For this reason, Chen Song decided not to use the formation of double midfielders as much as possible, unless the opponent is very strong and the game is extremely important, otherwise, Chen Song still prefers to choose their original formation.

Because this formation can give the Quancheng team more leeway, so that they will not fall forward in the later games.

In the 27th round of the Chinese League, the Quancheng team regained its vigor and won the opponent with a score of 2:0, Lin Qi did not score in this game, but his performance was equally good, he disturbed the opponent's backline, which allowed his teammates to seize the scoring opportunities one after another.

Quancheng team successfully got three points away from home, while Qilu team had problems in this round of games, and they were forced to draw 2-2 by their opponents on the road.

Springs recovered two more points, and the two teams really couldn't close the gap in the standings......

When these two teams made mistakes one after another, the Royal Yanjing team was not much better, and they could not threaten the status of the two leaders of the Quancheng team and the Qilu team at all.

The three teams in the top three of the standings failed to achieve consecutive wins in the Chinese League, but the Shanghai Shencheng team, which had just been eliminated from the AFC Champions League, won all two rounds of games and successfully rushed to eighth place in the standings.

The momentum of the Shanghai Shencheng team in these two games is very fierce, and it looks like the Quancheng team in the second half of last season, entering a stage of crazy grabbing points.

However, no matter how much they try to grab points, they will not be able to qualify for the title of the Chinese League again, and they are a little too far from the top of the standings......

In the subsequent 28th round of the Chinese League, the Qilu team suffered a draw again, and Shen Yue put An Run and Zhou Tao on the bench in this game, and only sent Lin Heng in the front trident.

Lin Heng failed to bring a victory to the team, and they were caught up by two points by the winning Quancheng team.

The Quancheng team played well in this game, they won the opponent with a score of 2:1 with the goals of Lin Qi and Zhao Lin, and narrowed the point gap with the Qilu team to three points!

The two teams in the standings let fans see the fierce competition between Quancheng and Qilu in the Chinese League, and after this round of games, the two teams ushered in the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League at the same time.

The opponent of the Qilu team in the quarterfinals was Buriram United, who defeated the Spring City team home and away in the group stage! The Qilu team's good use in the AFC Champions League has come to an end, and they finally met the real Asian powerhouse!

In fact, this can't be said to be the end of good luck, because none of the teams that can enter the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League are weak. If you really want to pick the weakest team, then maybe you have to choose the Spring City team.

Springs have the least glorious history and have had the toughest game to reach the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League......

With the exception of Quan City, the other seven teams are barely considered to be Asia's giants, while Qilu and Buriram United are among the best of them, and although neither team has won the AFC Champions League, they are the two most promising teams this season.

Qilu team VS Buriram United!

Is it the Qilu team that helps the Quancheng team in the same city complete revenge? Or will Buriram United continue their AFC Champions League journey? The fans are looking forward to it.

Buriram United are a very strong team, they have been placed in the Group of Death from the start of the AFC Champions League, and Buriram United can still qualify as the top of the group against fellow opponents Seoul FC and Osaka Gangbar, which is enough to show how strong they are.

Even Shen Yue, who has always been full of confidence, had to be cautious in the game against Buriram United, which is why he put An Run and Zhou Tao on the bench in the 28th round of the Chinese League.

He wants to let An Run and Zhou Tao get enough rest, so that they can play 100% of their strength against Buriram United!

Shen Yue is ready to go shopping, the AFC Champions League has reached this level, and any remaining team is ready to go shopping.

While the Qilu team was actively preparing for the match with Buriram United, there was also a solemn atmosphere in the Quancheng team. Although Springs' quarter-final opponents are not as favourable as Qilu and Buriram United, they are by no means easy.

Their opponent is Al Ain from the United Arab Emirates, who is the number one giant in the UAE!

Most of the players in the AFC Champions League are from their own country, but their domestic players are not their backbone, unlike other Asian countries that are actively developing their own players, Al Ain is more powerful than their foreign aid lineup!

They have great players from other countries in the attack, midfield and back line. One of the strikers from Brazil has long occupied the central position of Al Ain, while the core of their midfield is a player from Argentina, and at the back, they also have a stalwart from Ivory Coast!

Emirati football seems to be at odds with the Asian football of the world, and their teams are not as active in developing their own players as the core of their teams as other Asian teams.

They rely more on foreign players.

Such a football development strategy is not too good for the development of football in the country, but the Emiratis don't care. This oil-rich country is flooded with a lot of rich people, and football is just a rich man's game here.

If it weren't for the Asian Football Confederation's requirement that each team should not have more than three foreign players on the pitch, I am afraid that Al Ain would have sent all foreign players to play in the AFC Champions League......

No way, being rich is capricious! (To be continued......)
