Chapter 45

The AFC Champions League group stage is all over, some happy and some sad.

Of the four teams participating in the AFC Champions League in the J-League, Gamba Osaka was the only one eliminated. Tokyo FC, Kashiwa Helios and Nagoya Grampus Yato qualified for the group.But the bad thing is that all three teams qualified second in the group, which made it a bit difficult for the three teams to play in the round of [-].

In China, Guangzhou Evergrande took the top spot in the group with a penalty kick at the last moment. Both BJ Guoan and Tianjin Teda were eliminated, and the two teams also jointly created the lowest group stage points for a Chinese Super League team to participate in the AFC Champions League - 3 points , Both teams only scored 3 points. At the same time, TEDA also created the least number of goals scored by a Chinese Super League team in the AFC Champions League, scoring only 6 goals in 2 group matches.

In the last round of the AFC Champions League, Tianjin TEDA was eliminated one round ahead of schedule, but it is worth mentioning that this time TEDA's home court was very empty, so empty that there was no one there.Due to the last home game where TEDA defeated Nagoya Grampus 0:3 at home, the dissatisfied TEDA fans threw many mineral water bottles into the field and used laser pointers to illuminate the players on the field, so they were punished by the AFC to leave the game empty .

These are jokes after dinner, but Chinese reporters are quite interested. In this irrelevant game, as many as 260 Chinese reporters entered the field to interview, creating a record for the number of reporters interviewing a Chinese Super League team, just to watch the excitement.No wonder Mourinho once said: Chinese football reporters are the most amateur I have ever seen.

At the same time, in the last round of the AFC Champions League, Ringer did not score a goal. He still maintained the second position in the AFC Champions League scorer list, but there was one more person tied with him, and the gap from the first place was pulled again. opened.

In the last round of the AFC Champions League, Kongka of Guangzhou Evergrande scored a goal, and the number of goals also reached 5. He tied for second place in the scorer list with Ringer and Li Tongguo. However, Jeonbuk Hyundai has been eliminated. Li Tongguo's goal It is impossible to add more, and Guangzhou Evergrande is Tokyo FC's immediate opponent in the knockout round. Ringer will directly confront Conca.

In this round of the AFC Champions League, the Brazilian Oliveira, who is the top scorer, has another god-level performance. He completed four goals in the last round of the group stage and raised his AFC Champions League goals to 10 in one fell swoop. No.2 in the scorer list has as many as five goals.

Ricardo Oliveira, a Brazilian genius who was as famous as Robinho back then, was later transferred from Brazil to La Liga powerhouse Valencia, but his performance in Valencia was mediocre for one season, so he was sold to Real Betty s.

In the 04/05 season, in the first season of Oliveira's transfer to Real Betis, he slapped his old club in the face.He scored 22 goals in La Liga that season, ranking third in the scorer list, helping Real Betis beat Valencia to qualify for the Champions League, and also helped Real Betis win the Copa del Rey that season.

What is even more ironic is that Valencia claimed that Oliveira was not efficient in scoring goals and sold him, but in the next season, Oliveira scored more goals than all Valencia forwards combined. There are even more, this face is a bit harsh.

With his good performance in Real Betis, Oliveira moved to Serie A giants AC Milan in the summer of 06. At that time, Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko moved to Premier League Chelsea. The Rossoneri let Oliveira replace Shev Chenko's, it can be seen that the expectations for him are high.It's a pity that Oliveira failed to prove himself in Serie A. He fell into endless injuries, coupled with the kidnapping of his family in Brazil and other incidents, Oliveira was completely lost and was sold off after only one season in AC Milan , Oliveira's career at the best age has gone downhill.

Now 32-year-old Oliveira is panning for gold in West Asia. He did not expect to perform so well in the AFC Champions League this season. He scored 10 goals in the group stage, which directly broke the single-season scoring record of the AFC Champions League. Abu Dhabi Jazila, who La played for, has also logically become the current favorite to win the AFC Champions League.

The previous single-season scoring record in the AFC Champions League was jointly maintained by six players, including the former Chinese Super League star ***. They scored 9 goals in a single season. Now Oliveira only participated in six group matches and broke the record. this record.Oliveira has a hat-trick and a big four. He has become the hottest forward in the AFC Champions League. Although Ringer's five goals are the second in the scorer list, it seems a bit unsatisfactory.

※※※

The match between Tokyo FC and Evergrande in the round of 5 of the AFC Champions League will be held on May 30, with the 12th and 13th rounds of the league in between. Bobovic’s arrangement is to win the 12th round and the 13th round. give up.The opponent in the 13th round of the Tokyo FC League is Urawa Red Diamonds, a powerful J-League player. If you really want to fight hard, I am afraid that Evergrande will be the happiest.

On the afternoon of May 5th, in the 20th round of the J-League, Tokyo FC played against newly promoted Tosu Sagan at home.

Tokyo FC is now a well-known home worm.Since the beginning of this season, the AFC Champions League has been good. Tokyo FC has won 3 wins and 2 draw in 1 home games. However, in the league, Tokyo FC has 5 win, 1 draw and 1 losses in 3 home games, and 6 consecutive victories in 6 away games. No comparison.It is said that this matter has attracted the attention of the team president Akune. He suggested that Bobovich should take into account the home performance, otherwise it will discourage the enthusiasm of fans to watch the game at home.

The reason why there is such a strange situation is that the team fights on two lines. Every time they give up the league for the AFC Champions League, and when they just give up, they are at home. away score.

But this time at home, Tokyo FC did not make any mistakes. In the first half, Ringer scored twice with one pass and one shot by Chima Watanabe to help the team lead 3:1. At the beginning of the second half, Sagan Tosu pulled back a goal, the 79th Minutes Watanabe sealed the victory with a long shot, and he also completed a hat-trick himself.

Tokyo FC beat Tosu Sagan 4:2 at home and won the second home game of the league this season. At the same time, Watanabe Chima became the second player to complete a hat-trick in the J-League this season after Ringer.

While Tokyo FC won, Shimizu Drum, which had the same score as Tokyo FC, lost away to Urawa Red Diamonds, so Tokyo FC took the top spot with 25 points, followed by Sendai Vegalta with 24 points and Sanfrecce Hiroshima with 22 points. Clear water agitated.

Winning at home, at the same time there are competitors falling behind, the players are still in good condition, Bobovich can't help being complacent again, and he came out and said: "The next thing we need to consider is the AFC Champions League. Yes, we are going away. , there are many unfavorable factors, but I am not worried, I think the strength of Tokyo FC is stronger than Guangzhou Evergrande, we can advance in the away game."

Guangzhou Evergrande has invested heavily in the past two years, and even Europe has heard of it. The only one who dares to say that Tokyo FC is stronger than Evergrande is probably only Bobovic. Even the team president Kenji Akune The reporter said before that Tokyo FC went to Guangzhou to fight for honor. To put it bluntly, as long as they don't lose too much, they are successful.

Bobovich not only talked loudly, but also taunted: "We are not afraid of a team that relies on the referee to give a penalty kick in stoppage time. Yes, they may have a few good South American players, but we also have Lim and Watanabe, and we are a group, their Korean head coach only knows 703-[-]-[-] tactics."

Without that penalty, it is an indisputable fact that Evergrande would not have advanced to the knockout round.Evergrande's 703 tactic is also very famous in Japan. The so-called 703 tactic is to match 3 South American players with 7 domestic players, 3 South American players are responsible for offense, and 7 Chinese players are responsible for defense.

Bobovich made all kinds of ridicules, but Evergrande didn't respond, which is very strange.Two days later, news came that Guangzhou Evergrande had fired the team's South Korean head coach Lee Jang-soo, and announced on the second day that Italian coach Marcello Lippi would take over.

Evergrande's big money once again shocked the Asian football world, or the world football world was shocked.

Although there have been many world-famous coaches in Asia, such as Wenger, Scolari, Camacho, Zaccheroni, Milu, etc., none of these people can compare with Lippi in terms of achievements.Wenger was just a little famous when he came to Japan to coach. A Champions League semi-final was Wenger’s appearance at that time; Scolari never proved himself in the club coaching. A World Cup championship was his greatest achievement, but there were also This is the only achievement; Camacho, Zaccheroni, Milu and others are famous coaches, but they have not achieved much.

Lippi is different. In terms of clubs, he has led the team to win five Serie A championships, led Juventus to the Champions League final for three consecutive years and won one championship. The precarious Italian national team defeated many powerful players all the way, and finally won the World Cup champion that year.

In general, Lippi is definitely the biggest coach in Asia.
