Although the exit of the FA Cup is a little regrettable, with the current situation of the Eastern team, it is really unable to open another front, and can only be the first in the AFC Champions League and the second in the league, and all other strategies are abandoned. And even if there is one less front, the next schedule of the Eastern team is still a devil

On the 4th day after the FA Cup, in the 21st round of the Oriental team's away challenge against the Qingdao team, the players were still some little brothers, but because some of the "second-level substitutes" had not yet recovered, even the goalkeeper also sent a substitute to avoid Zeng Cheng's journey to affect the state three days later, so that this game was lost worse than the FA Cup, and the whole game was bombarded by the Qingdao team 33 shots, a total of seven goals were conceded, and the score of O:7 was lost. Although most of the Shide team, which has been banned for the season, has not yet fully recovered its state, it still defeated the Shenzhen Jianlibao team, which is in deep financial crisis, 2:o, and successfully reached the top of the league standings again.

The reason why the Eastern team did not hesitate to let the main players fully rest at the expense of even the heavy defeat was naturally to leave the best state for the first opponent of the AFC Champions League knockout round, the Etihad team. This team has a total of 8 active Saudi internationals (including 4 of them), which is extremely rare in the history of Asian football, and it also includes almost the entire back line of the Saudi national team, and the Saudi national team is the most solid back line of any Asian national team, and its defensive ability can be imagined

However, the most terrifying thing about the Etihad team is their offensive line, they have three excellent striker foreign aids, although it may not be as good as the front trident of the Guangzhou Evergrande team at its peak in history, but in Asian football in 2oo5, it is already unprecedentedly luxurious

No.3 Caron, the most powerful player in the Etihad squad and even in the history of Asian football so far, was a first-choice at Inter Milan for two years before moving to Ligue 1 giants Monaco last season to become the team's main striker and top scorer of the season. At the end of July this year, the Etihad team offered a sky-high price to loan the Champions League-level striker who is only 26 years old and in the peak of his form, although he has not been in the team for a long time, and there may still be some problems in the tacit understanding, but he is still the Saudis' biggest trump card.

No. 1O, Yobo, is an equally strong Cameroonian striker, who was even invited by the French national team at his peak (but he turned it down), and although his form is not as good as it used to be, he is still a formidable knife in the Asian arena.

No.11 Zico, a powerful Brazilian striker, has been playing for the Etihad team for many years, although this summer because the Ittihad team failed to buy Ligue 1 sharpshooter Camara, but the strength is still not to be underestimated, and he has a good understanding with his Saudi teammates for a long time.

In addition, as a typical team of West Asia's traditional ball control play, the midfield strength of the Etihad team is also quite strong, among which Saudi Arabia's legendary star No. 6 Ovilan is old, but the technology and awareness are still there, and it can definitely not be ignored, but because of the age, it is either too old or too young, and the running ability is slightly insufficient, but because the traditional West Asian style of play like Saudi Arabia is relatively slow, this is not a big problem

In addition to the luxurious staffing, the Etihad team also has the valuable experience and confidence gained from winning the AFC Champions League last year, which is something that the Easters, who are playing their AFC Champions League game for the first time this year, do not have.

What's more, the West Asian team has a huge home advantage, and apart from the unique cheering sound of the Arab fans that can make the away players drowsy, the black whistle and the lethal tactics that the West Asian team will almost certainly encounter at home are the most terrifying killer moves. Evergrande, which was at the peak of history later in history, had overturned in the gutter away from West Asia when its strength was obviously superior, not to mention that the current Etihad team is obviously stronger than then? And the referees in this away game are all Iranian, which is simply "black + black" = "black bright", even Gao Jun is deeply jealous in his heart

Although he has had many experiences of slapping the black whistle with a fierce swing, Gao Jun never dared to say something like "As long as the strength is strong enough, it doesn't matter if the referee is black." "Such naïve, after all, even if you swing often, there is no guarantee that you will be able to score enough effective goals when the goal is likely to be blown away.

What's more, that kind of normal state also has the disadvantages of self-protection and teamwork consciousness decline, and once the black whistle mode is turned on, the West Asian team will use lethal tactics on a large scale, and if you don't do it, you will pay a painful price of regret for life, so as long as possible, Gao Jun still hopes to solve the battle at home as much as possible, at least to get a big enough lead.

Although Japan and South Korea in East Asia also often use black whistles to make profits, they still have a little bottom line compared to the home black whistles of West Asian teams (Note 1), at least they will not use black whistles in combination with lethal tactics, which will only ruin the sport of football. Fortunately, the black whistle of the West Asian team is mainly used at home, so as long as the Eastern team plays the home field well, there is still hope to pass the test.

However, the Eastern team is also facing great difficulties now, the biggest problem of which is the lack of substitutes. Due to the call-up of the national junior team, there is almost no available substitute for the Eastern team, and the strength of the team will be significantly weakened if anyone is replaced, although the main squad is lucky to have no injury number, and after a week of rest, physical fitness and state have reached the peak, but in case someone is injured in the game, it will be very fatal, even if no one is injured, it is inevitable that no one will be overdrawn in the game.

In fact, Gao Jun also suggested that Xu Gui retain a few main substitutes, but Xu Gui came from that era, and he really took the overall situation into account, and he felt very embarrassed to negotiate with the Football Association to retain the three main forces, where would he propose to keep a few more substitutes?

Note 1: Relatively speaking, South Korea has no bottom line than Japan, Japan uses the black whistle only to ensure that it can win the game that they should be able to win with their strength, while South Korea can use the black whistle in order to defeat the opponent who is unlikely to beat with its strength, but even the black whistle in the South Korea and Japan World Cup is not as good as the black whistle at the home of West Asia, but the team that was hacked is a world powerhouse, and it is still in the World Cup, which has a particularly big impact.
