What is the meaning of the AFC Champions League poster released by Evergrande?

On April 3rd, Beijing time, the AFC Champions League group stage will usher in the fifth round of competition. Guangzhou Evergrande will challenge Buriram United away from home. On April 2, Guangzhou Evergrande released a pre-match poster for this game through its official Weibo.

The theme of the poster is that victory is reproduced here. In the poster, a disc with 2018.4.3 printed on it is copying the contents of a disc with 2012.5.15 printed on it. Looking at Evergrande's AFC Champions League record, it is not difficult to find that on May 15, 2012, Evergrande went to the away game against Buriram United, and Gao Lin and Konka scored two goals to bring home the victory from the away game.

Before the start of the fifth round, the points situation in Group G was: Evergrande ranked first with 8 points, Buriram United and Osaka Sakura ranked second and third with 5 points each, and Jeju United ranked third with 3 points. Bottom. With two rounds left, Evergrande only needs one win or two draws to qualify. In order to avoid a premature encounter with Jeonbuk Hyundai, one of the recognized favorites to win the championship, Evergrande must still strive for first place in the group and still need to win the last two games with all its strength.

The Evergrande poster has a clear meaning, which is that it hopes to replicate the results of the 2012 season tomorrow and defeat its opponents in the away game. The first round clash between the two sides this season ended in a 1-1 draw at Tianhe Stadium, with Goulart scoring a goal for Evergrande.
