The end of this match coincided with the end of another match in Group E of the AFC Champions League, with Buriram United also winning 1-0 away from home against FC Seoul.

After three rounds, Buriram United, with two wins and one draw, topped the table with seven points, and the qualifying situation is clear. In second place is Gamba Osaka with four points from one win, one draw and one loss. Spring City and FC Seoul are tied on three points, third and fourth, respectively.

Gamba Osaka won at home to Izumi City, but none of their players were happy with the win. On the contrary, the players were severely punished by the manager after the game, and their only half-day holiday after the game was cancelled.

Gamba Osaka actually performed very well in this game, but unfortunately they failed to achieve their pre-match expectations. Cruelly abusing the Spring City team, this goal is indeed a bit too arrogant. Quancheng is also the second-ranked team in the Chinese League, and won the Super Cup last year.

If such a team is abused by Gamba Osaka, it will be 4:0 or 5:0. Then Chinese football must be at least ten years behind Japanese football to be possible.

And Chinese football is indeed lagging behind Japanese football, but the gap is definitely not that huge, at most about five years apart.

In the past five years, to put it bluntly, it can only be backward in terms of results and honors, and in terms of competitive level, Chinese football is really not much worse than Japanese football.

After all, there are many people in Huaxia, and although it is more difficult to manage, more people mean that there will be more geniuses. Talented young players are the focus of the development of Chinese football. This can be seen just by Lin Qi, Lin Heng, Zhou Tao, Zhu Shaofei and others who can play the core in a club with good strength.

Predictably. Five or ten years later, when Lin Qi and others have fully grown up, Chinese football will no longer lag behind Korean and Japanese football, and it is not impossible to even surpass them.

Gamba Osaka, who won after the game, was unanimously criticized by the domestic media.

"It's so difficult to even win the Quancheng team, Gamba Osaka really loses the identity of a giant!"

"The performance of the Osaka Gamba team really makes us see no hope, the Quancheng team is not the strongest team in China, but the Osaka Gamba team has played so hard against them. This is still at home, and if it is an away game, it is not impossible for Gamba Osaka to lose to Izumi City. With such a performance, what reason do we have to believe that Gamba Osaka can achieve good results in the AFC Champions League? ”

"After three rounds. Gamba Osaka finished second in the group. They are not even as good as Thailand's Buriram United. Gamba Osaka this year is a disgrace to our Japanese football! They entered the AFC Champions League with the aura of the J-League champions, but they could not achieve satisfactory results, and Gamba Osaka should reflect on it. ”

Countless criticisms came, leaving the players of Gamba Osaka embarrassed. They even have the urge to commit suicide by seppuku. Japanese players in modern society are similar to the samurai of ancient times. They inherited some of the spirit of bushido.

What is the Japanese bushido? That is, failure can never be accepted!

If you fail, you'd rather commit suicide by seppuku!

I have to say, the Japanese are really stupid. A single defeat can be raised to the height of death by them. And in this game, Gamba Osaka team hasn't lost yet, they just haven't been able to score more goals.

This is enough to shame the players of the Osaka Gamba team, and Keisuke Honda did not even dare to go out of the door of the training base during this time. Just looking at his training momentum in recent days, there are some of Lin Qi's posture as a top student.

The Japanese media criticized the Osaka Gamba team as incomplete, and the Quancheng team failed to get much benefit in China. At the beginning, the treatment received by the Spring City team was still very good, and the media reporters gave their praise for their performance in this game.

"Izumi City are very calm, against the strong Osaka Gamba team, Izumi City team has not the slightest fear, if it is not a little less lucky, maybe they can get a point back away from home."

"Every player in the Spring City team played at the highest level in this game, we are pleased with their approach to the game and the growth of their quality is also a sight to behold. At Gamba Osaka's home stadium, losing just one goal, Izumi City is proud enough. You must know that in last year's AFC Champions League, the Qilu team failed to achieve such a record in the face of the Osaka Gamba team. ”

"We are very happy with the growth of the Quancheng team, they have shown a very high level in both the Chinese League and the AFC Champions League. If this development continues, the Quancheng team will be the next giant of our Chinese football! ”

Almost all the Chinese media gave the Quancheng team high praise at the first time, and these media knew that the goal of the Osaka Gamba team before the game was to score at least four goals for the Quancheng team at home.

The Quancheng team relied on their solid defense and only conceded one goal, which not only saved their own face, but also won glory for the whole of China. The sinister intentions of the Osaka Gamba team were not realized, and Keisuke Honda's goal of teaching Lin Qi a hard lesson was not achieved.

Although the game was ultimately lost, the performance of the Springs team in this game deserved such praise.

But on the third day after the game, the wind in the media seemed to change all of a sudden, and the attitude changed so quickly, as if they had planned it in the first place.

First of all, the report of the "Football Newspaper", although the "Football Newspaper" has been reduced to a civilian newspaper, but the hundred-legged insects are dead and not stiff, and they will sometimes come out to make trouble.

This time again, they took the lead.

"The performance of the Quancheng team in this round of the AFC Champions League is very good, and the fans and media friends of China are happy to see such a Quancheng team. But is it really worth our joy? You know, the Springs lost this game! ”

The words of "Football News" woke up the dreamers, yes, the Quancheng team lost this game, what do we have to be happy about?

"What is certain is that the Spring City team put up twelve points in this game, but unfortunately even so, they couldn't get three points on the road. The attitude of the Quancheng team towards the game is worth learning from all the players, but their quality cannot but worry us. ”

"Spring City threatened to make a breakthrough in this year's AFC Champions League at the beginning of the season, and their goal is to win the championship! But with such strength, why should the Quancheng team compete for the championship of the AFC Champions League? Quancheng are already a strong team in China, they have only lost one game in the Chinese League and are in second place in the standings. It's such a strong team, but it was so difficult to play against Gamba Osaka. ”

"They showed the best strength, but they still had to accept the result of defeat! This is only the group stage of the AFC Champions League, and when it comes to the knockout stage, the game will be more intense, and how will the Spring City team deal with it then? ”

"Uh...... The knockout rounds may be a bit far away. I would like to say that we were disappointed by the overall quality of the Quancheng team, and they had an extremely difficult time even qualifying from the group! ”

"Football Newspaper" said every word very profoundly, he was not only criticizing the poor strength of the Quancheng team, but also comparing Chinese football with Japanese football. Although I am also reluctant to admit it, I have to say that Japanese football is indeed better developed than Chinese football.

And the Spring City team really does not have the strength to compete for the AFC Champions League title! They couldn't beat Gamba Osaka with 12 points of effort, so why should they compete for the AFC Champions League title.

Football matches are based on the results, the process is not important at all, and the attitude towards the game is even less important. A loss is a loss, and there is nothing to be happy about.

The words of "Football News" were like a basin of cold water, which instantly extinguished the joy of Chinese fans. However, the Football Newspaper is not entirely pessimistic, and they mention the Qilu team at the end of the report.

The group of the Qilu team had a great advantage, and their performance was very good. After winning three games in a row, the Qilu team locked up a place in the group ahead of schedule. Of course, the goal of the Qilu team in the group stage is not as simple as qualifying from the group, they also have to strive to qualify as the first in the group, so as to have an advantage in the subsequent knockout games.

After such an analysis by "Football News", the Quancheng team is really not favored, but no one continues to criticize them.

After all, they are not good at overall strength, it is not that the players and coaches are not working hard enough.

Most newspapers and media pointed the finger at Wang Yi and Lin Qi, who once again became synonymous with self-indulgence.

With the strength of the Quancheng team, still talk about the champion of the AFC Champions League? Is...... It's so arrogant! (To be continued......)
