As long as you win, you can advance to the group stage with your head held high. Can Super League BIG4 be packed for four consecutive seasons? Shandong Luneng and Shanghai Shanghai have a heavy responsibility!

February 9 17, Adelaide United VS Shandong Luneng.

As the third runner-up of last season's Super League, Shandong Luneng defeated India's Mohenbagan 6-0 at home in the second round of AFC Champions League qualifiers and easily advanced. In the play-off, Shandong Luneng team will be a guest to challenge Adelaide United, the third runner-up team of the Australian Super League in the 20 14- 15 season. Unlike Shandong Luneng, who has appeared in the AFC Champions League for three consecutive seasons, Adelaide United reappeared in the AFC Champions League after missing three seasons. Of course, they reached the AFC Champions League final in 2008, which is the height that Shandong Luneng has not reached so far.

Previously, Shandong Luneng team had a total of four encounters with the Australian Super Team in the AFC Champions League. Coincidentally, the opponent was Adelaide United, with a record of 2 wins 1 draw 1 negative, and both wins came from away games, with scores of 1-0. Luneng's goals were an own goal given by Li Jinyu to Nice, Valcan in 2007 (Li Jinyu scene). From this point of view, the players of Shandong Luneng team should have certain advantages when facing Adelaide United.

However, Shandong Luneng team has a poor ability to fight away from home in intercontinental events in recent years. In the last five AFC Champions League games, I lost three away games, only 1 won, and beat a team like Pingyang in Vietnam 3-2. Adelaide United's last six AFC Champions League games were 4 wins and 2 draws at home, five of which were perfect 0, but that was 20 12. Of course, they are also in a brave state in domestic competitions recently, and the Australian Super League is unbeaten in 9 rounds. They are the best Australian Super Team in the past two months, winning five games in a row at home. The latest 10 home only last year.

Adelaide United's best player at present is Argentine veteran Carrusca. The 32-year-old midfielder has scored three goals and assisted 1 in the last four games, which Shandong Luneng must pay special attention to at that time. In addition, the team recently recalled Fan Dike, a 33-year-old veteran who was born in the Netherlands but later joined the Indonesian team to participate in the AFC Champions League. Fan Dike played for Adelaide United from 20 10 to 20 12, and contributed 28 goals to the team in 6 1 game. Among them, he scored10-16 goals in the 2016 season.

February 9 19: 30, Shanghai Shanggang VS Dream Communication.

Shanghai Shanghai Port Team is one of the two teams that have never fought in the AFC Champions League before this season (the other is Yangon United in Myanmar). Their opponent will be 20 15 Thai Super Runner-up Montong United. Although this team appeared in the AFC Champions League for the fifth time in the past seven years, three of the previous four times were in qualifiers, and both the 20 10 and 20120 seasons were sent off after struggling with their opponents for 65,438 minutes. However, in the second round of the AFC Champions League qualifier a week ago, they also scored a goal without a goal in 120 minutes against the DT team in Johor, Malaysia, and beat their opponents 3-0 in the penalty shootout. Among them, Kawen, the goalkeeper of Montonglian and Thailand international, was very eye-catching and saved his opponent three penalties in a row.

Although this game in Shanghai Stadium is the first AFC Champions League for Shanghai team and the first AFC Champions League in Shanghai in five years, the team is determined to win this game, and the club has set a hard goal, "We must win!" Shanghai Shanghai Port Team has an intuitive understanding of its opponents after collecting information on the spot. On the whole, the strength of Shanghai Shanghai Port is much higher than that of Meng Tong United, especially the configuration of the center and frontcourt is a high-end atmosphere. As long as the attack team composed of Ji 'an, Elkson, Lei Wu, Kangka and Yu Hai works normally, it will be hard for Thailand to resist.

On February 1 day, Shanghai played a warm-up match with U 18 echelon coached by Cheng Yaodong, and won 3-0 with goals from Kangka, Lv Wenjun and Yu Hai. Eriksson's starting line-up: goalkeeper Yan, defense king, Smith, Zhu Yingjin and Sun Xiang, with Cai Huikang, a partner in the middle and front court, and three offensive avantgarde, namely Eriksson, He and Ji 'an Tudan Arrow. It can be said that this is basically the main framework of the team, and Elkson's adjustment is only a fine-tuning of individual positions.

It is worth mentioning that February 5th is Eriksson's 68th birthday. If the team can advance to the race, it will undoubtedly be the best birthday gift for the Swedes. Eriksson was full of confidence before the game. "I believe the team can play this game well and advance to the group stage smoothly." Of course, everyone is also full of expectations for Elkson, who will make his debut. Although it takes time to adapt to the tacit understanding with teammates and the weather in Shanghai, the Egyptian god is very confident about it.

As for Meng Tong United, they played against Guangzhou Evergrande on 20 13, and the total score of the two rounds was 1-8, among which Kangka scored twice in the first round. In addition, in the 20 13 New Year Cup, Shanghai East Asia beat Montessori 4-/kloc-0, and the goals were scored by foreign aid Dixon and Wang Jiajie from Lv Wenjun, Lei Wu and Ghana. Montessori's main goalkeeper was injured before the end of the first half, the substitute goalkeeper was sent off at the beginning of the second half, and the visiting goalkeeper conceded two goals. Last month, Montessori brought two foreign AIDS from Brazil, Negro and French Bricio. Both of them are good in strength. It can't be ignored that Shanghai should guard against accidental capsizing.
