In a key battle in the 1/4 finals of the AFC Champions League Elite League that ended on the evening of March 12, Beijing time, Shanghai Shenhua lost 0-4 to Kawasaki Frontale away, and was overturned by the opponent with a total score of 1-4 and missed the top 8. Previously, Shanghai Port, another strong team in the Chinese Super League, was also eliminated by Yokohama Mariners with an aggregate score of 1-5. Coupled with Shandong Taishan, which withdrew from the competition, the three teams of the Chinese Super League participating in this season's AFC Champions League Elite League have all ended their journeys.

What is embarrassing is that this season's top 3 Chinese Super League 7 away games against Japanese teams have all lost. and both swallowed a big 0-4 defeat. As the "double champion" of the Chinese Super League last season, Harbour visited Japan three times this season, losing 1-3 to Kawasaki Frontale, 0-4 to Vissel Kobe, and 1-4 to Yokohama Marino.

The situation of Shenhua, another powerhouse in Shanghai, was not much better, losing 0-1 to Yokohama Marinos, and this one was swept by Kawasaki Frontale 0-4 in the absence of Amadou. As for Shandong Taishan, who has withdrawn, before canceling the results, they visited Japan twice and lost 1-2 to Kobe Victory Boat and 0-4 to Kawasaki Frontale.

The three Chinese Super League teams faced Japanese teams and conceded 22 goals in all seven games, scoring only three goals. You must know that now the Japanese internationals are basically staying in the European League, and the top 3 of the Chinese Super League basically gather the best internationals of the Chinese men's national football team, but even so, the strength of the two sides is still very different.

This also made Xiao Yun of the famous Ji can't help but lament: "The football gap between China and Japan is actually from 1-4 in the harbor yesterday to Shenhua's 4-goal defeat today, which is an example." Both Shanghai teams have done their best, and none of the Chinese Super League teams have reached the top 8, so let's work hard next year. ”
