Contrast of reactions from commentators of Sina, Canton, Beijing, Shanghai and CCTV5 http://sports.sina.com.cn/video/c/j/afccl/match/1213/14/291/#118900345
In this moment what is the importance of the football in China towards the other sports ? Can be considered the most popular sport ?
WOW, Finally a chinese club win AFC Champs League...Congratulation GUANGZHOU!!! Who would have thought that they can win AFC CL in just 3 years... So what does this mean??? That BIG MONEY and foreign managers + players can be of significant boost...(Camacho is the exception...LOL) Can CSL become a top league in the world in the future??? After all, there are many tycoons in China and i bet that they will start emulating Xu Jiayin... I mean , just look at how EPL transformed since the arrival of oil oligarchs and sheiks... Ok, so now does it mean that Lippi will start coaching CHINA NT???
LOL, cant wait to see next season of CSL... Wonder who will be coming to CHINA??? Not sure why so many dislike Gao Lin but he 's definitely my top chinese footballer...
Question: How good is Zhang Xizhe on Beijing Guoan? Supposedly Celtic are interested. Also, what kind of player is he?
Zhang Xizhe is our best Domestic players IMO, playmaking maestro as an attacking mid. He builds up the chances and delivers the final passes which lead to chances/shots/goals. He is the main penalty taker and set-piece taker for us
Zhang's the best player on Beijing Guoan in my opinion. He was a major part of their success this season.
What other sports? Ping pong? Olympics? From my experience, yes, football is the most popular spectator sport here. Basketball has a following, but the CBA is well underground compared with the CSL.
Thank you, is it possible to know the total average audience in China ( CCTV 5 + regional channels ) of the 2nd game between Guangzhou - Seoul ?

Zheng Zhi has been nominated for AFC Player of the Year while Muriqui and Conca have been nominated for AFC Foreign Player of the Year.
How will Guangzhou Evergrande do in the Club World Cup? First match will be against Al-Ahly of Egypt. That will not be easy. They are a Superclub in Africa (and also the club whose supporters were massacred for political reasons in a league game the other year). They made the semifinals of the CWC last year and have won the African Champions league a handful of times. Can Guangzhou get past them to earn a matchup with Bayern Munich?
If Guangzhou can keep all their players fit and injury free, Al-Ahly should not be much of a problem to Guangzhou. The only team Guangzhou should be worried about is Bayern Munich.
