In the first round of the AFC Champions League on September 17, Shandong Taishan defeated Central Coast Mariners with an overwhelming advantage, while Shanghai Shenhua defeated Pohang Steelers despite adversity. These two victories attracted the attention of Sports Weekly to the differences between the Chinese national football team and the clubs.

A reporter commented that although Chinese football often performs poorly on the international stage, it is actually not as fragile as the 0-7 defeat to Japan. He emphasized that although foreign players played an important role in the game, the highlights of the day’s game were the two exquisite assists by Liao Lisheng of the Shandong team and the contributions of the three substitute players from Shenhua, as well as Malele’s key penalty kick. All show the ability and role of local players. In comparison, the national team’s substitution adjustments and their effectiveness in recent games pale in comparison. This reporter questioned whether the on-the-spot command of the head coach selected by the Chinese Football Association really met expectations, considering these circumstances? What’s more, some Football Association officials seem to have an indifferent attitude towards the difference in substitution effects. This phenomenon is unacceptable. He asked sadly who should be blamed for the plight of Chinese football, and the answer seemed self-evident.
