At about 3 p.m. Beijing time on April 23, the AFC officially announced the best lineup of 11 people in the 3rd round of the East Asian region of the AFC Champions League group stage, and the goalkeeper He Lipan from the Chinese Super League team Guangzhou was selected, which is gratifying.
In the third round of the match, although Guangzhou lost 3-0 to Ulsan Hyundai, goalkeeper He Lipan performed well, and Gao Ji resisted and saved the opponent's 9 shots, which turned the tide. After the game, the AFC official gave He Lipan a high score of 8.4 points, which is the highest score in the whole game, which is also a very high recognition of him.
The 11 best squads for the 3rd round of the AFC Champions League group stage in East Asia are as follows:
Goalkeeper: He Lipan (Guangzhou team);
Defenders: Lee Myung-jae (Ulsan Hyundai), Reiyo Osaki (Kobe Victory Ship), Motodou-jae (Ulsan Hyundai), Sakai Takatoku (Kobe Victory Ship);
Midfielders: Yasuya Kiki (Kobe Victory Ship), OngLachi (Batum united), Ko Myung-jin (Ulsan Hyundai), Patunpol (batum united);
Forwards: Zeka (Daegu FC), Ōkō Ryūya (Kobe Victory Ship).
Because it is a temporary formation, the Guangzhou team's back line lacks major generals, and He Lipan, as a goalkeeper, is also under great pressure, making a big mistake in the first round of the game, slapping the opponent's shot into his own goal. Then in the second round of the game, Guangzhou team has been shot through the goal by the opponent 8 times, as a goalkeeper, He Lipan's responsibility is naturally unshirkable.
However, in the third round of the match against Ulsan Hyundai, He Lipan was also ashamed and brave, and did not concede the first goal until the 28th minute, and then saved the opponent's must-score opportunities many times to defend his dignity as a goalkeeper.
It is worth mentioning that in an interview after the game, He Lipan said that the team is slowly getting better, and he has also made progress, and the Guangzhou team has not had a "psychological collapse" as the outside world says, and everyone is working hard.
He Lipan said that it is the Shanghai media "Oriental Sports Daily", which is a strange organization that is stationed in Shanghai, but there is always "internal news" of the Guangzhou team, they do not care about the local teams in Shanghai, Shanghai Harbor and Shanghai Shenhua, but have a special love for the Guangzhou team, as if they have mastered the traffic code, as long as they write the news of the Guangzhou team can get extra attention. For such a media that listens to the wind and rain and relies on its own fabrication, I hope that the majority of fans will open their eyes and not be easily blinded by them.
