Chapter 244: The Battle of the Old and the New
The Quancheng team managed to reach the final of the Super Cup after eliminating the Hangzhou West Lake team, and their opponent in the final was the Royal Yanjing team!
Although the performance of the Royal Yanjing team in the Chinese League and the AFC Champions League is average, but after all, they are a giant team like the Qilu team, at the beginning of the season, the Royal Cup championship that has been monopolized for many years has made the Royal Yanjing team lose face, if even the Super Cup championship, they can't get it, it is too ashamed of the identity of the giants.
The Royal Yanjing team, after knowing that the Chinese League was hopeless, shifted the team's focus to the Super Cup. They didn't have much difficulty in the knockout stages of the Super Cup, and the Royal Yenching team was invincible all the way to the quarterfinals!
Competitions like the Super Cup are not too difficult for the Royal Yanjing team, who have managed to advance to the quarterfinals almost every year.
And only by reaching the quarterfinals can the Super Cup match be counted as the real beginning.
Because there are no weak teams in the quarterfinals, every team will have a great desire to win the Super Cup. Thankfully, the quarter-finals of the Super Cup came late, and by this time, the Royal Yanjing team had basically completed their reforms.
This is also the main reason why they were able to reach the final, the Royal Yenking team established an attacking system with Zhu Shaofei as the core, and improved their defense by adding midfielders.
Today's Royal Yanjing team is a combination of the two teams of Qilu team and Quancheng team, and he has both the offensive ability of Qilu team and the defensive ability of Quancheng team.
Even if it's just an offensive or defensive game. The Royal Yanjing team is not yet comparable to the Qilu team and the Quancheng team, but in terms of comprehensive strength, the Royal Yanjing team is not much inferior to the Qilu team and the Quancheng team.
After all, the offense of the Quancheng team and the defense of the Qilu team have certain flaws, while the offensive and defensive abilities of the Royal Yanjing team are more balanced.
The only thing they lack is that the staffing is still a little insufficient, although the Royal Yanjing team has almost completed the reform, but their replacement of the old and the new will not be able to be completed in a while.
The closing of the transfer window alone is enough to prevent the reform of the Royal Yanjing team from being completely completed, they have only found the goal of the reform and found the future direction of the team.
And fans firmly believe that next season's Royal Yanjing team will definitely be able to rise again after having enough personnel to replenish. Rekindle the war with the Qilu team and the Quancheng team in the Chinese League.
Although the reform was not completely completed. However, the Royal Yanjing team still showed very strong combat effectiveness and was able to successfully break into the final of the Super Cup, which is the best proof.
The lack of personnel makes the Royal Yenching team may still be weak in terms of the strength of the team, but the rich experience is more than enough to make up for it. The older generation of players in the Royal Yenching team has not fully retired. They are shining with the reform of the Royal Yenching team.
At the end of the season. A number of older players in the Royal Yanjing team have announced that they will retire or leave after the end of the season.
And before the Super Bowl match, the media also confirmed this in interviews.
In other words, the final of the Super Cup is likely to be the last game for many of the older generation of players of the Royal Yanjing team!
They used to create the glory of the Royal Yanjing team. They once made the Royal Yanjing team a well-deserved giant in the Chinese League, and now, time flies, and they finally have the moment to leave the stadium.
Maybe football will still be the most important part of their lives, and maybe they will have the opportunity to play on the pitch again, but they have dedicated their entire youth to the Royal Yanjing team.
'It's a tragic moment, it's a tragic game. After this game, the golden generation of the Royal Yanjing team will retire from the stage of history, they have created the glory of the Royal Yanjing team, they have also made great contributions to Chinese football, and now it is time for them to say goodbye to the football field. ”
"In this final game, the Royal Yanjing team must still want them to take away the last championship!" The media reports are full of enthusiasm, they are paying tribute to the older generation of players of the Royal Yanjing team, and they also hope that these players who have brought infinite excitement to Chinese football can walk away with the last Super Cup trophy when they are about to retire.
Under the hype of the media, the atmosphere of the Super Cup final has gradually become hot, and Chinese fans have temporarily forgotten the local derby of the AFC Champions League final, and turned their attention to the Super Cup final temporarily.
After all, this is a farewell game for the older generation of Chinese football players.
Before the game, there was also a media analysis of the age of the players of the Spring City team and the Royal Yanjing team, and the results of the analysis showed that the Royal Yanjing team is the oldest team in the Chinese League League, with an average age of 29 years old, while the Spring City team is the youngest team in the Chinese League, with an average age of only 21 years old.
The average age difference between the two teams is as much as eight years!
Eight years can be a reincarnation in the history of football, no team can win for eight years, and few players can maintain eight years of peak form.
Eight years can change a lot, and now the two teams competing in the Super Cup final are eight years apart in average age.
We can fully say that the Royal Yanjing team and the Quancheng team represent two eras of Chinese football. The Royal Yanjing team represents a period of glory in the past of Chinese football, while the Quancheng team represents the hope of the future rise of Chinese football.
The clash between the two teams is also known by fans as a battle between the old and the new, and the reform of the Royal Yanjing team largely represents the trend of the development of Chinese football.
Chinese football is also in a stage of replacing the old with the new, and the final of this Super Cup has brought this replacement of the old and the new to the last and most intense moment!
This idea has kept the heat up for this Super Cup final. It is said that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and fans want to know whether the front waves can take away the final glory in this game, or whether the back waves will beat the front waves to death on the beach.
The fans of the whole Huaxia were divided into two camps at this time, and those old fans who had seen the glory of the older generation of Chinese football certainly hoped that the Royal Yanjing team could win the game, and they hoped that the older generation of players who had paid their entire youth for the development of Chinese football would leave the stadium with the final championship.
On the one hand, the Quancheng team itself already represents youth, and on the other hand, Lin Qi is also the popular idol of young Chinese fans, just to support Lin Qi, these young fans also hope that the Quancheng team can win the Super Cup.
With the emergence of the two camps, the atmosphere of the Super Cup final has reached an extremely hot point, and fans throughout China are looking forward to the Super Cup final being staged as soon as possible, and there has never been a final in the history of the Super Cup that can receive so much attention.
The name of "the battle between the old and the new" makes the significance of this game far beyond the significance of the Super Cup final itself, which can not only determine the winner of the Super Cup, but also represent the end of an era of Chinese football...... (To be continued......)
