The round of 16 of the FA Cup was born: the four teams went down, and Guangxi Hengchen became the biggest dark horse

This newspaper reporter group reported jointly On May 21 and 22, the third round of the FA Cup ended, and the round of 16 was produced, including 12 Chinese Super League teams, 3 Chinese A teams and 1 Chinese B team.

In the third round, 16 Chinese Super League teams played, the opponents are all low-level teams, in terms of strength, there is no doubt that the Super League teams are slightly stronger, but for various reasons, there are 4 Chinese Super League teams that have suffered from the downfall.

The first team to cause an upset was Three Towns, who won first and then lost, and were reversed by Shaanxi United and lost 1-2.

The loss of the Three Towns was not unexpected, their team to Shaanxi did not have a single foreign aid, and, except for Liao Chengjian, almost all of them were substitutes. For them, the goal this year is only relegation, and the FA Cup is a chicken rib, and it is normal to give up.

The second team to cause an upset was Meizhou, who also won first and then lost, and were eliminated by Hengchen in the second division and went out 1-2 away.

Meizhou showed a dark horse at the beginning of the season, but unfortunately for various reasons the recent bad record, they played in the all-Chinese class, although on Yang Ultrasound, Liao Junjian and other main forces, but in the face of Hengchen, who ranked first in the South District of the Second Division, they were stunned, and several players who did not play much did not perform well, in this regard, coach Milan expressed dissatisfaction after the game.

The other two teams that upset were Xinpeng City and Yatai, both of whom lost on penalties.

Xinpeng City actually has a pursuit, and they are all the main players, including foreign aid Sakarya, Dugalich, and Kartsev. But in the face of the Guangzhou Leopards, who were aiming to surpass, they were once 0-2 behind, although the foreign aid made a force to equalize in the second half. But in the penalty shootout, Jiang Zhipeng, who was the first to take the penalty, missed the penalty and finally lost.

Originally, according to Yatai's strength and demands, they should have been on the bench to deal with it, but they still went on the main bench, and foreign aid Rosić, Berridge, and Omoi Juanfu also started. However, in the face of Kuncheng, which is in the middle of the Chinese League rankings, it does not occupy a clear advantage, however, it is a good thing for them to be out of the FA Cup, and they can focus on relegation, but there is a long way to go.

The 12 Chinese Super League teams that have been promoted in different ways are also different.

Since there is a break after the FA Cup, many teams, including Taishan, have arranged for all the main players, including foreign aid.

InBev's opponent is Shenzhen Youth, the opponent has no intention of the FA Cup, giving InBev the opportunity to wreak havoc, they played with all the main forces, Mamadou, Rabouyard, Malele all started, and finally won 5-1 away.

Another promoted team, Ma Yukun, is also the main force, but there is one less foreign aid, only Jonicha and Enrique start, Oscar Jr. is on the bench, and the local players are also elite. However, Dingnan Ganlian, who had just drawn with Liaoning Iron Man in the Central League, almost caused an upset, and they scored first, but fortunately, Han Zilong and Enrique scored a reversal, of which Enrique's goal was scored in the 90th minute.

Taishan's state has been up and down some time ago, and he has the pursuit of the FA Cup, so even in the face of Qingdao Red Lions, who are second to last in the Central League, Cui Kangxi did not dare to relax and arranged all the main forces, including foreign aid Cressan, Zeka and Khazar. In the end, Taishan swept the opponent 5-0 away, and Cressan scored a hat trick. It's just that this kind of opportunity, which was originally a good training opportunity, should give newcomers more time.

In addition to Cardoso, Maidana, and Nasario starting, Wang Shangyuan, Huang Ruifeng and other main forces also started the battle, although there were small twists and turns, but they still passed the test.

In addition, the West Coast, Guoan, and Haigang, which were also promoted, were all semi-main or more than half of the main forces, of which the West Coast arranged Aziz, Wang Peng, He Longhai, Zhang Chengdong, Duan Liuyu and other starters; Guoan Sparic and Dawan two foreign aid starters, in addition, Wang Gang, Wu Shaocong and other semi-main starters, however, the strength of Guoan players, especially local players, is average, and whoever is on the field depends on the state of the field; Harbour arranged Gustavo, Yousa, Gabriel, Wang Shenchao, Li Shuai and other starters, and in the end, they defeated Suzhou Soochow 6-2 away to advance.

It is worth mentioning that Shenhua, Rongcheng, Manatee, Zhejiang, Three Towns, Meizhou, and Jinmen Tigers are all the starters of the all-Chinese class, among which Shenhua, Zhejiang, Meizhou, and Jinmen Tigers are all limited by the rules, and only Rongcheng, Manatee, and Three Towns are the real all-Chinese classes, however, Meizhou and Three Towns are out.

Rongcheng's opponent was Guangxi Pingguo, a Chinese league team, and coach Xu Zhengyuan arranged a full substitute lineup, but later he still got foreign aid, including Romulo who also scored.

Manatee had no idea about the FA Cup and was bent on relegation, but also arranged a semi-main lineup, Feng Boyuan, Song Long, Liu Junshuai, etc. all played. Facing the quasi-Chinese Super League team Iron Man away, they actually passed the penalty shootout, which was an accident.

Zhejiang's opponent is Guangzhou Dandelion, a team in the second division, and cannot be on foreign aid, but the local lineup arranged by coach Kaneda is the starting line of the Chinese Super League, Liu Haofan, Li Titian, Wang Yudong, etc. all starts, of which Wang Yudong scored the only goal of the game.

Shenhua's opponent is Wuxi Wugou, a team in the second division, and coach Slutsky arranged a full bench to play, but with a demon like Yu Hanchao, Shenhua easily advanced.

Jinmen Tigers' opponent, Guizhou Zhucheng Athletic, is also a team in the second division, and in their starting lineup, only Huang Jiahui, Wang Xianjun, Xie Weijun and others played more, and finally won 1-0.
