The AFC Champions League group stage is over, and a few are happy and a few are sad.

Of the four teams in the J-League that participated in the AFC Champions League, Gamba Osaka was the only one to be eliminated, while Tokyo FC, Kashiwa Suns and Nagoya Whales all qualified from the group. But on the downside, all three teams finished second in their group, making the round of 16 a bit difficult for all three teams.

On the Chinese side, Guangzhou Evergrande qualified for the top spot in a penalty group at the last minute, Beijing Guoan and Tianjin TEDA were eliminated, and the two teams also teamed up to create the lowest group stage points for a Chinese Super League team to participate in the AFC Champions League - 3 points, both teams only got 3 points, and TEDA also created the fewest goals for a Chinese Super League team in the AFC Champions League, scoring only 2 goals in 6 group games.

In the last round of the AFC Champions League, Tianjin TEDA has been eliminated one round in advance, but it is worth mentioning that this TEDA's home stadium is very empty, so empty that no one is there. Due to the last home game, TEDA lost 0:3 at home to Nagoya Whales, and the angry and dissatisfied TEDA fans threw many mineral water bottles into the stadium and used laser pointers to shine on the players on the field, so they were punished by the AFC for an empty game.

These are all jokes after dinner, but Chinese reporters are quite interested, this inconsequential game, as many as 260 Chinese reporters entered the field for interviews, creating a record for the number of reporters covering the event of a Chinese Super League team, just to see a lively scene. No wonder Jose Mourinho once said: "Chinese football journalists are the most amateurs I have ever met."

At the same time, in the final round of the AFC Champions League, Ringer did not score, and he still remained in the second position of the AFC Champions League scorer list, but there was one more person tied with him, and the gap from the first place was opened again.

In the last round of the AFC Champions League, Guangzhou Evergrande's Conca scored, and the number of goals also reached 5, tied with Ringer and Li Tongguo for second place in the scorer list, but Jeonbuk Hyundai has been eliminated, Li Tongguo's goals can not be added, and Guangzhou Evergrande is the opponent of Tokyo FC immediately knockout, and Ringer will directly clash with Conca.

In this round of the AFC Champions League, the Brazilian Oliveira, who is the top scorer in the list, has another god-level performance, he completed the big four in the last round of the group stage, and raised his AFC Champions League goals to 10 in one fell swoop, and the second place in the super scorer list has as many as five goals.

Ricardo Oliveira, a Brazilian talent who was once on par with Robinho, later transferred from Brazil to La Liga powerhouse Valencia, but his performance in Valencia was mediocre in one season, so he was sold to Real Betis.

In the 04/05 season, Oliveira's first season of transfer to Real Betis, he slapped his old club in the face. He scored 22 goals in La Liga that season, ranking third in the scorers' charts, helping Real Betis beat Valencia to qualify for the Champions League and also helped them win the Copa del Rey that season.

What's even more ironic is that Valencia sold Oliveira for claiming that he was not very efficient in scoring goals, but in the following season, Oliveira scored more goals than all of Valencia's strikers combined, which was a bit harsh.

With a good performance at Real Betis, Oliveira transferred to Serie A giants AC Milan in the summer of 06, when Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko transferred to Chelsea in the Premier League, and the Rossoneri let Oliveira replace Shevchenko, which shows the high expectations for him. It's a pity that Oliveira failed to prove himself in Serie A, he was mired in endless injuries, coupled with the kidnapping of his family in Brazil and other events, Oliveira was completely lost, and he was sold after a season at AC Milan, and it was Oliveira's career that went downhill at the best age.

Oliveira, who is now 32 years old, is panning for gold in West Asia, but he didn't expect to perform so well in the AFC Champions League this season, scoring 10 goals in the group stage, which directly broke the AFC Champions League single-season goal record, and Oliveira's Abu Dhabi Jazira has also become the current AFC Champions League No. 1 favorite.

The previous AFC Champions League single-season goal record was held by six players, including former Chinese Super League star Hao Dacang, with nine goals in a single season, and now Oliveira has only played six group games to break this record. Oliveira is a hat-trick and a big four, becoming the hottest striker in the AFC Champions League at the moment, and although Ringer's five goals are the second highest scorer in the list, it seems a bit unsightly.

The AFC Champions League round of 16 match between Tokyo FC and Evergrande will be played on May 30, with the 12th and 13th rounds of the league in between. The opponent in the 13th round of the Tokyo FC League is Urawa Red Diamonds, and the J League is strong, if you really go to fight hard, the happiest is probably Evergrande.

On the afternoon of May 20, in the 12th round of the J League, Tokyo FC played at home against Sagan Tosu, who was also promoted.

FC Tokyo are now notoriously home bugs. Since the beginning of this season, the AFC Champions League has been fine, with 2 wins and 1 draw in 3 home games against FC Tokyo, but in the league, the results of 5 home FC FC Tokyo FC are 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, and 6 away games have won 6 in a row, which is not comparable at all. It is said that this matter has attracted the attention of the team's president Ajiune, who suggested that Bobovic should take care of the home results, otherwise it will discourage fans from coming to the home stadium to watch the game.

The reason why there is such a strange situation is that the team fights on both fronts is very large, every time they give up the league for the AFC Champions League, and when they just give up, they meet the home team, which creates this kind of strange home and away results with a huge gap.

However, this time at home, Tokyo FC did not make a moth, in the first half Ringer passed and shot Watanabe Chima scored twice to help the team lead 3:1, Tosu Sagan pulled a goal back in the second half, and in the 79th minute, Watanabe sealed the victory with a long-range shot, and he himself completed a hat trick.

FC Tokyo beat Sagan Tosu 4-2 at home to claim their second home win of the season, while Chima Watanabe became the second player to score a hat-trick in the J-League after Ringer this season.

At the same time as Tokyo FC won, Shimizu Agitation, who had previously equalized Tokyo FC's points, lost to Urawa Red Diamonds, so Tokyo FC took the top spot with 25 points, followed by Vega Sendai with 24 points and Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Shimizu Agitation with 22 points.

Winning at home, while having rivals fall behind, and players in great form, Bobovic couldn't help but be complacent again, and came out to open his mouth: "The next thing we need to think about is the AFC Champions League, yes, we are going away, there are a lot of disadvantages, but I'm not worried, I think Tokyo FC is stronger than Guangzhou Evergrande, we can qualify away from home." ”

Guangzhou Evergrande has invested heavily in the past two years, even Europe has heard of it, and it is probably only Bobovich who dares to say that Tokyo FC is stronger than Evergrande, and even the team's president Kenji Akune said in front of reporters that Tokyo FC went to Guangzhou to fight for honor, to put it bluntly, as long as you don't lose too much, it will be a success.

Bobovic not only spoke, but also mocked: "A team that relies on a penalty from the referee in stoppage time to advance, we are not afraid. Yes, they may have a couple of great South American players, but we also have Hayashi and Watanabe, and we are a group, and their Korean head coach will only play 703 tactics. ”

Without that penalty, Evergrande really couldn't qualify for the knockout round, which is an indisputable fact. Evergrande's 703 tactics are also very famous in Japan, the so-called 703 tactics are 3 South American players with 7 domestic players, 3 South Americans are responsible for attacking, and 7 Chinese players are responsible for defense.

Bobovic made all kinds of mockery and mouth, but Evergrande did not respond, which is very strange. Two days later, the news came that Guangzhou Evergrande fired the team's South Korean head coach Lee Jang-so, and announced that the Italian coach Lippi would take over the next day.

Evergrande's big move once again shocked Asian football, or world football.

Although there have been many world-famous coaches who have come to Asia to coach, such as Arsene Wenger, Scolari, Camacho, Zaccheroni, Milou, etc., none of these people can compare to Lippi in terms of achievement. Arsene Wenger had just made a name for himself when he came to Japan to coach, and a Champions League semi-final was the face of Wenger at that time; Scolari has never proven himself in charge of the club, and a World Cup victory is his greatest achievement, but there is and only that; Camacho, Zaccheroni, Milou and other famous coaches, but they don't have too many results.

Lippi is different, in terms of clubs, he has led the team to win five Serie A titles, led Juventus to the Champions League final for three consecutive years and won one championship, in terms of the national team, Lippi in 06 with the stormy Italian national team behind the phone door, all the way to defeat many giants, and finally won the World Cup that year.

Overall, Lippi is definitely the biggest coach in Asia.
