Chinese Super League/AFC Champions League 2012

So there we have it (not a strawman, that has been humped - somewhat weird imagery there):

On the one hand there is a lot of web posting that is positive across the fan base, irrespective of club affiliation, and on the other hand there is a rather "meh" response from others in China.

People are different, even football fans. Funny that.

 

Hey who knows, with Lippi now being confirmed as GZ's coach and not the NT coach as rumoured before, maybe this all just means Lee Jang-Soo will take over the NT duties (wishful thinking lol).

 

"the thieves that the province produces in droves"

Shenhua is the embarrassment of CSL. Will average less than one goal per match this season. I would gladly take Lee Jang-Soo as the new manager.

PS. WTF happened to this website. Change is not good.

 

Screw you man. Jealousy is evil. Just cos Spurs fluffed their season and we're in the CL final. Jealous much ...oh and yeh good luck keeping your CL spot

I have to back teamdragon here, he does know a LOT about Chinese soccer, probably more so than anyone else here (maybe ntg). chengb, you CANNOT determine a striker merely by looking at the amount of goals they score, thats what 'noobs' do. Its about what else they do, supporting midfield, tracking back, defending whilst required, assists. Not everyone is a Iaquinta or Gomez in terms of clinical finishing. Sometimes you need a Drogba to be more of a team player than just goalscorer. From what I've seen of Gao Lin, he's the closest (not great though) thing to a solid striker China has atm.

 

'Arf! I'm not going to get into a flame session with a Chav on a CSL thread!

"Following their FA Cup win, Chelsea fans have signed a 1 year extension to remain at the club. They had been strongly linked to Man City."

 

Lol Dalians GK thought the ref had blown for offside so he sets up the ball for the Jiangsu striker to score an open goal

 

Hi, I'm an Italian guy (Sampdoria fan) and I love Chinese soccer.
I've a question: it seems that in Dalian Aerbin is drawing more fans than Shide. How is it possible?
Shide has won lots of titles, is older, and so I thought it should have a stronger fan base.
Am I missing something?

 

What the hell been Jiangsu... Dănălache ...

 

Holy crap. This match was crazy......... sucks I missed the first half.

But a fan ran onto the field and attacked the ref.

 

doods, aerbin played a filthy game. that ref was sucha douche lol. jiangsu was getting owned.

 

Can someone put both highlights of these games? Jiangsu's controversial goal and the fan attacking the ref? Thanks.

 

Yeah, intense match. Jiangsu got a goal 1st half, I'll let you find out how. Later on, Dalian got one in .. albeit... sloppy. However, Dalian dominated the 2nd half. A fan attacked a ref for a few seconds and then they started throwing chairs.

My Chinese isn't good enough to go wander to look for video but if you could find it, that'd be great.

 

I think he's italian:

In that page he tells about his career, from a little local team (Santa Lucia Golosine) to Hellas Verona (Serie B), where he plays in the young team.
Here's a page of a match with S.Lucia (2008):

From your link, it seems that he's the son of a Chinese immigrant worker (Shun Li, apparently from Shangai) and an italian woman (Cristina).

Sorry for my English

PS: anyone who could explain the large support for Dalian Aerbin, compared with an historical and winning team like Dalian Shide??

 

Good one, the guy had to go through a running track to do that. It's just ashamed that he couldn't of done that to Zhu Jun instead today.

 

Anyone found one where both of those incidents are together in one video?
