Chapter 32

"What is currently being broadcast is the fourth round of the AFC Champions League group stage. Group F Tokyo FC's home game against the Chinese Super League team BJ Guoan. Players from both teams are playing." Japanese TV broadcast, the famous commentator Koichi Yamamoto was talking.

Although Guoan still has a lot of hope of qualifying for an away win, but in terms of the current state of Guoan, the possibility of an away win is quite small, so the central mother in China will not broadcast Guoan's game, and switch to Evergrande's home game Beat the cypress sun god.

In the TV broadcast, the starting rosters of the two teams also came out.

Tokyo FC is goalkeeper Hitoshi Shioda. Shuichi Gonda, who was injured in the league last weekend, has no problem, but he will have to rest for a week or two.

The back line from right to left is Tokunaga Yuhei, Morishi Masato, Zhang Xiuxian, Ota Kosuke;
The four midfielders are Takumi Yonemoto, Hasegawa, Naohiro Ishikawa and Somin Tanabe. The defensive midfielder Hideto Takahashi was suspended for accumulating yellow cards in the last round;
The striker is naturally partnered by Ringer and Chima Watanabe, who got a rest on the weekend.

Guoan's starting lineup is still the same 4231 formation as last round, but the single arrow at the top was replaced by the taller Australian Reynaldo, and the young midfielder Zhang Xizhe got the chance to start.

In the locker room before the game, Bobovich's words were very simple. If they win at home, they will take all three points.

The entire Tokyo FC team has this confidence. If it weren't for Guoan's foul tactics and the referee's whistle in the last round, Tokyo FC would have a great chance to bring back three points in the away game. Now that they are back at home, Guoan has no home whistle to help. It's no problem for FC to win the opponent.

Guoan showed a lack of confidence. At the press conference before the game, Guoan coach Pacheco began to make excuses: "Our defense line seems to have the plague."

Since the beginning of this season, Guoan has injured the main goalkeeper Yang Zhi, the main central defender François, and the substitute central defender Yu Yang. In this game, another main central defender Xu Yunlong, the captain of Guoan, was suspended by a yellow card. Pacheco had to let The teenager Yu Yang played with an injury, and Guoan's defense did have too many injuries.

Guoan itself is weaker than Tokyo FC, and now the defense is full of injuries. Bobovich said before the game that he will win at home, and there is nothing wrong with it.

At the start of the game, Tokyo FC immediately launched a massive attack.

Watanabe kicked the ball out in the middle circle, Ringer caught the ball and immediately started to kill Guoan in the half. From the broadcast screen, it can be seen that Ringer dribbled the ball forward, followed by the Tokyo FC players, and Guoan Then he quickly recovered his own half, and was pushed back as soon as the game opened.

Guoan's idea is very simple. They will be satisfied with the defense if they have a chance to defend a draw.A point in the away game is not very helpful to Guoan's qualifying, but it is better than losing. Losing will basically end the AFC Champions League this season. It is better to get a point to delay the arrival of the death notice .Of course, Guoan coach Pacheco still has some illusions. If he defends the opponent's attack and finally defeats the opponent with a lucky ball, wouldn't it be perfect.

There is always fantasy, once you really fall asleep.

Before coming to the penalty area, Ringer and Watanabe turned their feet twice. Guoan did not have too many defensive problems. Ringer returned the ball, followed by Naohiro Ishikawa, who followed up with a long shot in front of the penalty area, and completed the game The first kick to hit the goal, but this long-range shot is a bit too high.

After 2 minutes, Ringer and Hasegawa collided with the wall and found an opportunity from the right side of the penalty area. However, just as he broke in, someone came to block him. live.

"Lin Jun, his performance is as stable as ever. The close-angle shot just now was very imaginative, but the opponent's goalkeeper reacted quickly and confiscated the ball." Yamamoto Koichi also praised Ringer.

In the last round of Guoan's draw, the referee's home whistle helped a lot. This time at Tokyo FC's home game, the referee will not help them anymore.

In the 7th minute, Ringer dribbled the ball from the right and took a big step to easily pass Guoan left back Zhou Ting. Zhou Ting pulled people directly in a hurry. The referee called the foul without hesitation. Tokyo FC got a goal on the right side of the penalty area Free kick.

"The Gas team's free kick opportunity, but this position is not far from the corner kick point. In fact, it is not much different from a corner kick. It is equivalent to a slightly shorter corner kick. You can't hit the goal directly, you can only seek cooperation."

"Ishikawa takes a free kick ~ back point! Watanabe ~ header!"

"The goal is in! A beautiful header from Chima Watanabe!"

"Only 7 minutes into the game, the Gas team scored a goal, Lin Jun created a free kick opportunity, Watanabe Jun scored with a header, I think the other teams in the J-League, as well as the Asian teams participating in the AFC Champions League, they need to pay attention This striker combination for the Gas team."

"Before the game, the head coach of the Chinese Super League team said that his team's defense had suffered a plague. I think he was right. Their defenders were missing. They lost him on the ball, it was a huge mistake, and now they're getting it."

Ringer and Chima Watanabe hugged and celebrated together on the sidelines. He neither scored nor assisted the goal, but he created the free kick opportunity in this attack, which will also give him extra points.

There was a goal in less than 10 minutes of the opening game. The Tokyo fans at home were cheering and celebrating loudly, but the Guoan Yulin Army who came to the away game did not feel so good, and they were all downcast.

At this time, in the stadium box, Guoan's manager Gao Chao and other management personnel frowned slightly. This was the first time that Guoan's management came to watch an away game in the AFC Champions League. The team showed them like this .Although I have long known that this away game is difficult to win, it is still unacceptable to concede the goal in less than 10 minutes. Before the game, Gao Chao went to the locker room to mobilize.

"What happened to the Chinese foreign player in Tokyo FC? Which club trained him? How did he get sold to play in the J-League?" Gao Chao couldn't help but ask himself the club's scout, thinking about the performance of No. 8 on the field just now. Director, he thought Ringer was transferred from China to Japan.

The head scout secretly complained, after the last round you claimed to bring in the opponent, but now you don’t even know the opponent’s situation at all, but he still replied seriously: “That kid’s name is Ringer, he’s not a domestic club. bred."

"Trained by Japanese clubs?" Gao Chao became even more curious. Although there are occasions in China where young players are sent abroad for training, they are all sent to Europe. I have never heard of them being sent to Japan.

"Actually, it is not true. It is said that the kid came to Japan to go to university, and later joined the school's football team. After that, he played professional football somehow and joined Tokyo FC. Oh, I heard that the kid was a goalkeeper at the beginning. , and later switched to striker." In fact, the head of scouting doesn't know much about it. At present, Ringer's origin has not been fully excavated. A lot of information comes from the Internet, and whether it is true remains to be verified.

"Can we introduce him in the summer? It shouldn't cost much transfer fee, right?" Gao Chao really considered introducing Ringer this time, not just talking about it like two weeks ago.

"This? At present, the Tokyo FC AFC Champions League group has a high chance of qualifying. Ringer is already an important member of their front line. They should not let him go easily."

"The club doesn't want to let people go? We can persuade the players. It seems that young players in the J-League have low salaries. When they return to China to play football, we can give him more consideration in terms of salary. He came to play professional football as a college student. It's just money."

"Okay, I'll find a way to get in touch with his agent."
