The Chinese Super League final is about to start, Guangzhou Evergrande ushered in a big good news, Evergrande AFC Champions League rival Johor DT announced that the team will not be involved in the AFC Champions League, so Evergrande's opponent is reduced by one, which is indeed conducive to Evergrande's more easy to advance to the next stage of the game.
Official news from Johor DT FC, the team has publicly stated that the team will not be participating in the 2020 AFC Champions League in Qatar. The specific reason for this is because the Malaysian government has introduced an exit restriction policy due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, so Johor will not be able to obtain permission to fly to Qatar for the 2020 AFC Champions League.
Evergrande's subsequent AFC Champions League fixture will start on November 19th and then again on December 4th against Johor DT so that Evergrande can get some rest and adjustment time. In this season's AFC Champions League, Johor DT completed two matches in the group stage of the AFC Champions League, the team lost 1-5 to Kobe Victory ship, followed by a 2-1 blowout victory over Suwon Samsung Bluewings, this opponent is a neurotome, and is not very good to deal with, and now Evergrande benefits.
Guangzhou Evergrande will face Jiangsu Suning on November 12th, the 2nd round of the Chinese Super League final, and the team will have a week to prepare for the match after the tournament. Guangzhou Evergrande's 3 group stage opponents are Kobe Victory Boat of Japan's J-League, Suwon Samsung of South Korea's K-League, and Johor DT of the Malaysian League. Now that the first team is no longer in the competition, the schedules of the three teams will not be too intensive, which is indeed conducive to achieving good results. Evergrande's strength in this group is superior, as long as the normal play is likely to advance, the team played two fewer matches, the physical energy will be more abundant, but after Guangzhou Evergrande still have to play the AFC Cup, Ka Shuai still need more planning, reasonable arrangement of the lineup.
