Chapter 35
"Lin Jun, you scored four goals in [-]% of the consecutive AFC Champions League matches and helped the team occupy a favorable position in the group stage. What do you think the Tokyo FC team can achieve in the first AFC Champions League?"

"Our minimum goal in the AFC Champions League is to enter the knockout round. This goal has been basically achieved now. No one knows how far we can go after entering the knockout round."

"Lin Jun, the manager of BJ Guoan said just now that you will transfer to a Chinese club in the upcoming summer transfer period. Is this true?"

"I need to discuss with my agent about the transfer, and no decision has been made yet."

~~~
At the press conference after the game, Ringer, who scored twice and was selected as the best player of the game, was surrounded by questions again.

In addition, the AFC Champions League now has four rounds of group matches. Ringer played three games, started two games and came off the bench. He scored a total of four goals and climbed to the top of the AFC Champions League scorer list. This is very unexpected.

Tokyo FC, as the weakest team in Group F before the start of the AFC Champions League, suddenly became a dark horse. Now it has basically got the chance to qualify for the group. Ringer is the leader of this dark horse team, at least in the AFC Champions League. Such.

The fourth round of the AFC Champions League is over. Tokyo FC defeated Guoan 3:0 at home. In the same group, Ulsan Hyundai defeated the Brisbane Roar 2:1 in Australia. Tokyo FC and Ulsan Hyundai have 2 wins, 2 draws and 8 points in four rounds. However, the other two teams in the same group, Guoan and Roar, only had 2 points, leading by 6 points with two rounds left. Tokyo FC and Ulsan Hyundai have almost secured the qualifying places. Guoan and Roar have basically been eliminated, and the chances of qualifying Exists only in theory.

With the end of the fourth round of the AFC Champions League group stage, the so-called Sino-Japanese confrontation is also over.For the other two teams in the fourth round of the confrontation between China and Japan, Tianjin TEDA drew 0:0 away with Nagoya Grampus Eight. Tianjin continued to retain the suspense of qualifying. :3 victory over Kashiwa Helios, and climbed to the first position in the group in one fell swoop. This is also the only victory of the Chinese Super League team in the six games against China and Japan.

The Chinese Super League has just entered the Jinyuan era. The Chinese Super League teams still face Japanese and Korean teams with more losses than wins. Only the Evergrande family supports the scene.After a few more years, the Chinese Super League teams generally invest heavily, and this will change the situation and gain an advantage in the confrontation with Japan and South Korea.

Tokyo FC is also paying attention to Group H where Evergrande is located, because according to the current competition system of the AFC Champions League, the two teams that qualify from Group F will compete with the two teams that qualify from Group H, which means that Tokyo FC is in the top [-] His opponent is in Group H, but Group H is currently very chaotic, and it is not clear who will qualify and who will be eliminated.

In Group H, Evergrande currently ranks first with 7 points, Jeonbuk Hyundai and Briland rank second and third with 6 points, and Bai Helios is at the bottom with 4 points.There are still two rounds of group matches. It is really difficult to judge who will qualify in Group H. Even Bo Helios, who is at the bottom, still has a chance of qualifying for the top spot in the group.

The current AFC Champions League system, the group stage and the top [-] are divided into East Asia and West Asia. Groups A to D are the half of the West Asian team, and Groups E to H are the half of the East Asian team.At the end of the group stage, the first team in Group A will automatically play against the second team in Group C, the second team in Group A will play against the first team in Group C, and so on, Group B will play against Group D, Group E will play against Group G, and Group F will play against Group H. .After the top [-], the top eight will be drawn again. At this time, East Asia and West Asia will no longer be divided, and there will be a mixed draw. Whoever gets the draw counts.

This year is the first time for Evergrande to participate in the AFC Champions League. They are inexperienced and not stable. They can beat South Korea’s strong team Jeonbuk Hyundai 5:1 in an away game, or lose 1:2 at home to Thailand’s Buriram. , Evergrande's instability is also the main reason for the current chaos in Group H.Wait until next year, the more stable Evergrande will appear, and the knockout rounds will be massacred all the way to the promotion, and the West Asian team will jointly sign a letter requesting another restructuring. The AFC agrees to the restructuring, so the future AFC East Asia and West Asia will be completely separated, and only the finals will meet. .

As far as the current situation of Tokyo FC is concerned, it has 8 points with Ulsan Hyundai. In the last round of the group stage, Tokyo FC will go away to challenge Ulsan Hyundai. That game is likely to determine who is the first in the group and who is the second in the group. one game.

In Guangzhou in April, the average temperature remains above 4 degrees for a long time, and it is common to climb to 20 degrees at noon.For people who are afraid of heat, this is not a low temperature.

Lao Lin was walking on the campus of CUHK in a long-sleeved shirt. He had a class at 9:50.

Passing by the newsstand on campus, Lao Lin went to buy two newspapers as usual. For people of his age, this is a habit they have developed throughout their lives.

"Professor Lin, buy a newspaper." The owner of the newsstand greeted him enthusiastically, with a slight accent.

"A copy of Yangcheng Evening News and Southern Metropolis, plus a copy of People's Daily." Needless to say, People's Daily, and the first two are provincial newspapers with good sales in eastern Guangdong.

"Thick~" The boss skillfully pulled out the newspaper and handed it to Lao Lin.

After taking the newspaper, Lao Lin thought for a while and said, "Give me another football newspaper."

In the past, Lao Lin never read sports newspapers such as football newspapers, but since his son went to play professional football, Lao Lin also began to care about football.Although he knew that his son was probably just a whim, and that he might go back to school obediently someday, Lao Lin still couldn't help but buy a sports newspaper every now and then to read, at least to learn about the professional football industry.Football News is a national sports newspaper that originated in eastern Guangdong. Its sales have been good in eastern Guangdong, so Lao Lin bought the newspaper without any hassle.

Walking on the green path, Lao Lin habitually looked at the front page of each newspaper to see if there was any major news.

The first three newspapers were still the same, and there was nothing important. When he opened the football newspaper, Lao Lin was stunned.

"Mysterious Chinese teenager shines in the AFC Champions League"

The picture on the front page shows a young man wearing a No. 8 jersey gliding on the green field with his arms open. However, Lao Lin is very familiar with this "mysterious youth". Isn't this his son?

jingle bell~~~
Lao Lin wanted to take a closer look, but the bell rang, which was the end of get out of class, and his class would be in 10 minutes. Lao Lin held back his curiosity, put away the newspaper, and hurried to the classroom. Being late was not his habit.

Linger was selected to the best team of the AFC Champions League for the first time, which made fans on the Internet pay attention to him; he scored a goal in the last round of the AFC Champions League, helping Tokyo FC take a point in the Workers Stadium, and he began to appear in mainstream sports newspapers However, Guoan is a northern team. The media around BJ and northern media mainly report on him. The sports newspapers in the south mostly pay attention to Evergrande. The coverage of Guoan’s game is more about mocking Guoan’s home draw. Ringer was only incidentally reported. carry.

In this round, Linge scored twice to lead the team to a 3-0 victory over Guoan, and temporarily occupied the top scorer list in the AFC Champions League. All Chinese sports media gave a lot of coverage, but for most fans To him, Ringer is indeed a mysterious figure who just popped up suddenly, and he has never heard of it before.

After Hao Haidong, is there any Chinese player looking forward to the AFC Golden Boot? "

"Guoan was defeated by "our own people", qualifying only exists in theory"

These are the reports of domestic sports media.

In the first AFC Champions League after the reorganization of the AFC in 02, Chinese player Hao Haidong became the AFC Golden Boot of that year with 9 goals. It is also the only Chinese player's AFC Golden Boot until now and even before Ringer's rebirth.Back then, Hao Haidong also helped Dalian Shide reach the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League. The semi-finals are the best results of a Chinese Super League team in the AFC Champions League so far, and they will not be broken by Evergrande until next year.

BJ Media set off another wave of calculating the theoretical probability of qualifying, calculating how Guoan will win next to squeeze out Ulsan Hyundai to qualify for the group. The result of the match between Guoan and Tokyo FC was a draw and a loss. The mutual records are already at a disadvantage. Next, even chasing 6 points can only consider squeezing out Ulsan Hyundai.Of course, Tokyo FC did not qualify ahead of schedule, because theoretically getting 2 distributions for the Lisbane Roar also has a chance to squeeze out Tokyo FC to advance.

Of course, this probability is slightly equal to zero. If you let Barcelona and Real Madrid have a high probability of being eliminated, the calculation is just for comfort.
