Chapter 58 Consecutive Goals ([-])

Urawa's substitutions had a certain effect. Next, Tokyo FC wanted to speed up the pace and continue to look for opportunities. Urawa Red Diamonds wanted to slow down the pace to keep the score, so the two sides pulled back and forth, and from time to time they fell into strangled competition in the midfield, and time passed. very fast.

"The game has entered 80 minutes, and the score between the two sides is still 2:1. Urawa temporarily leads by one goal. The gas team is strengthening its offense to find opportunities."

In the 84th minute, Hasegawa won a frontcourt free kick for Tokyo FC, which was close to 40 meters from the goal, too far to hit the goal and had to seek cooperation.

At this time, Ringer, Watanabe Chima, Lucas, and Tokyo FC's three main forwards were all on the field, and the three of them crowded into the penalty area at the same time.At this point, every offensive opportunity is priceless.

Naohiro Ishikawa took a free kick and the ball flew into the penalty area, but it was difficult to grasp where it landed.Lucas got to the point, but he didn't exert his strength. After a bit, the ball fell into the penalty area.Watanabe Chima was the closest, and immediately rushed up to shoot.There are people everywhere in the penalty area, and the opposing defender Zhongliang Hirakawa raised his foot to block the ball back.

Ringer was not far away, but not close. He rushed over with his thighs, but Tomoaki Shinno also arrived almost at the same time, ready to clear the ball.At this time, there was no time to think about other things, and there was no time to calmly adjust before shooting. Ringer hurriedly raised his leg and kicked, and had no chance to mess up the situation.

"The Gas team's free kick caused confusion in Urawa's penalty area~ This is Lin Jun~ A follow-up shot!"

"Goal~~~ The goal is scored!!! Lin Jun's supplementary shot scored a goal!"

Ringer didn't expect that he could score a goal with a random kick. The moment he shot the goal, Shinno Tomoaki also blocked it sideways, but it was a little slower, and the ball just flew past his crotch that was not yet close together.Fortunately, no one touched the ball in the middle, and Urawa's goalkeeper was blocked by Tomoaki Shinno's sideways. He didn't see Ringer's shot line at all. He just stood there in a daze, and the ball flew quickly. Come and leak from his crotch.

With a ball, he pierced the crotch of two people in a row, and then leaked into the goal.

In the end, relying on Ringer's dribble in more than 80 minutes, Tokyo FC drew Urawa Red Diamonds 2:2 in the away game. It was difficult to bring back a point, but they faced the possibility of being caught up by Hiroshima Sanfrecce.

But by the end of the 20th round of the league that night, Bobovich was full of complacency.

In the later match, Hiroshima Sanfrecce lost 1:2 at home to Shimizu Drum, not only failed to catch up with the score, but opened up a gap with Tokyo FC by another point. At the same time, the No.3 Sendai Vegalta also There was only one draw and none of the competitors came close.

In the standings after 20 rounds of the J-League, Tokyo FC ranked first with 12 wins, 5 draws, 3 losses and 41 points. Hiroshima Sanfrecce ranked second with 11 wins, 4 draws, 5 losses and 37 points. Sendai Vegalta and Urawa Red Bricks were both 9. With 8 wins, 3 draws and 35 losses, they accumulated 32 points, but Vegalta ranked third with a goal difference advantage, and Urawa Red Diamonds ranked fourth.After being eliminated from the AFC Champions League, Nagoya Grampus and Kashiwa Helios have gradually caught up. At present, the two teams rank fifth and sixth with 3 points, only [-] points away from Urawa Red Diamonds.

There are still 14 rounds in the league, and it is too early to talk about the championship, but Tokyo FC does take the lead.

"In the 20th round of the J-League yesterday afternoon, Ringer of Tokyo FC scored a goal at the last moment of the game to help the team draw with Urawa away. This is his 14th league goal for Tokyo FC this season. At the same time, he himself scored goals in the fourth consecutive game in the league, which also tied the record of consecutive league goals in the history of Tokyo FC~~~”

Looking at this report, Ringer was also speechless.The Tokyo FC team really doesn't have a good history. They tied the record in four consecutive league games, and the last one to keep this record was Lucas in the team.

In fact, this season is the first time for Tokyo FC to participate in the AFC Champions League. Every goal of Ringer in the AFC Champions League is a record in team history.

However, the record of consecutive goals in the J-League is not high, only seven games. Ringer has now scored four consecutive games, and it seems that the distance is not far away.

※※※

In the following week, Tokyo FC once again sent a fringe lineup to the away game. In the second round of the Japanese League Cup quarter-finals, they finally lost the game 0:2 in the away game. The total score of the two rounds was 1:4 by Sendai Vegalta. knocked out.

He was eliminated as he wished, or was eliminated by Sendai Vegalta, one of the competitors, so that the Sendai team continued to fight in the League Cup, and he was able to withdraw himself. Bobovic was very happy.

Bobovich believes that Sanfrecce Hiroshima is the biggest opponent in the current league. The goal of this Hiroshima team is quite clear. They only play in the league and give up everything else.

As the top three teams in the league for a long time, they actually came out at the bottom of the League Cup group stage. This is a very clear signal. They gave up the main league of the League Cup. Will give up without hesitation.

If this is the case, Sanfrecce Hiroshima is Tokyo FC's biggest title contender.Sendai Vegalta's opponents who are not strong enough but want to attack in a few lines will collapse by themselves in the second half.

Of course, Urawa Red Diamonds, Kashiwa Helios and Nagoya Grampus may catch up again, but after all, they are still 6 points and 9 points behind Tokyo FC, so there is no need to worry yet.

On August 8, in the 11st round of the J-League, Tokyo FC went away to challenge Kashiwa Helios.

This is the third match between Tokyo FC and Kashiwa Helios this season. In the Super Cup at the beginning of the season, Tokyo FC defeated Kashiwa Helios in a penalty shootout and won the championship. In the first round of the league, Tokyo FC drew 1:1 with the opponent at home. Now It's the third time.

In the first round of the League Cup quarter-finals, Kashiwa Helios lost 0:1 to Gamba Osaka.In the second round in the middle of the week just now, Kashiwa Helios returned to his home court to fight Gamba Osaka. He defeated Gamba 5:3 with a difficult total score of 5:4 to advance to the semi-finals.

I have to say that the current Gamba Osaka is really weird. It is extremely difficult to relegation in the league, but they attack everywhere in other games and never give up. I don’t know what they are doing.It seems that Gamba will not give up on the upcoming Emperor's Cup, and will definitely fight to the end.

Kashiwa Helios was a little tired after the battle with Gamba, and Tokyo FC was also a little tired after the away game against Urawa. The two tired divisions faced off, and in the end Tokyo FC was better.

Linger made a pass and a shot in the first half to help the team lead 2:0, and then Kashiwa Helios launched a counterattack in the second half, and Tokyo FC entered a defensive state.Finally defended a score of 2:1, but the process was quite difficult. In the second half, Kaga Kenichi was sent off for accumulating yellow cards while defending.

In this round of the league, Sendai Vegalta, Urawa Red Diamonds and Nagoya Grampus all lost. Kashiwa Helios was also defeated by Tokyo FC, but Hiroshima Sanfrecce won. This keeps the score gap between Tokyo FC and Hiroshima Sanfrecce at close With 4 points, the gap with Sendai Vegalta and Urawa Red Diamonds has widened to 9 points, and the gap with Kashiwa Helios and Nagoya Grampus has even widened to 12 points.

"The Round That Determines the Champion", this is the front page of "Yomiuri Sports".

"This round of the J-League has been unpopular. Sendai Vegalta, Urawa Red Diamonds, Kashiwa Helios and Nagoya Grampus all lost. The 3rd to 6th in the league lost together. This is the first time in the history of the J-League. The upset of the round also made Tokyo FC and Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Other teams have basically withdrawn from the championship. Only Tokyo FC and Sanfrecce Hiroshima remain. Produced from two teams~~~”

This round of the league scored again, and Ringer also became the first player in the history of the Tokyo FC team to score in five consecutive league games.

After two consecutive difficult away games, the fatigue of the Tokyo FC team became more apparent.

In the 22nd round, Tokyo FC played against the Omiya Squirrels at home, and in the end they could only get a draw.

Hasegawa made a penalty kick in the first half, and he took the initiative to hand it over to Ringer to take the penalty.Ringer scored the goal and became the first player in team history to score in six consecutive league games, but was equalized by Omiya Squirrel in the second half, and Tokyo FC had to accept the result of a home draw.

Since Hiroshima Sanfrecce defeated Niigata Swan 2-0 away in this round, they used this to chase the score to only two points.Tokyo FC occupies the top spot with 45 points, Hiroshima Sanfrecce ranks second with 43 points, a gap of one game, and the next round will be a direct match between the two teams.
