Chapter 75
Early the next morning, the news that Tokyo FC reached the final of the AFC Champions League this season occupied the pages of various sports media.

"Tokyo Miracle, Counterattack from the Newly Promoted"

"The third team in the J-League to enter the final of the AFC Champions League - Super Dark Horse Gas Team"

"The double crown is our goal - the amazing coach Bobovich"

At the press conference after the game, the AFC Champions League has reached the final, and the league is also temporarily ranked first. Bobovich directly shouted the goal of winning the double crown.

China also gave a lot of reports on Tokyo FC's promotion to the final. After all, the aftermath of the Weibo battle a few days ago has not completely passed, and Ringer went on to lead the team to the final. At the same time, he also set a new record for Asian players in the AFC Champions League. Records, these made Ringer popular again.

Leaving aside the achievements in other aspects, Ringer's reputation has definitely grown explosively, and his Weibo followers have risen to 1000 million.In the past half a year or so, he worked so hard to lead the team to play games and only raised 500 million. Now a scandal has raised it to 1000 million in a few days. It seems that the fastest rise in fame is hype.

"In the second-round knockout round of the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League held last night, under the leadership of Ringer, Tokyo FC successfully eliminated Ulsan Hyundai to enter the final of the AFC Champions League this season. At the same time, the Tokyo FC club offered 1 million yen in double crown bonuses. The reward for winning the AFC Champions League is 5000 million yen, and the reward for winning the league championship is also 5000 million yen.

According to the information obtained by this newspaper, Tokyo FC is not a rich club. They did not offer any bonuses in the previous AFC knockout rounds. Now they have a chance to win the double crown, so they offer this "high" bonus . 1 million yen, which is about 600 million RMB when converted into RMB. This year, Evergrande’s bonus for the top 600 of the AFC Champions League was as high as [-] million RMB, but Evergrande finally fell on the penalty line to Tokyo, which had no bonus. In front of FC, we have to wonder whether the Jinyuan football in the Chinese Super League is right~~~"

Some people in China used this to criticize Jinyuan Football.

Due to insufficient attention, the AFC has always been stingy in terms of bonuses.

This season's AFC Champions League, there is only a bonus of 10 US dollars for reaching the semi-finals, which is not enough for the teeth.However, the prize money for the champion and runner-up has been increased. The champion can get 80 U.S. dollars, and the runner-up can get 50 U.S. dollars.What Tokyo FC gave is actually that if they win the championship, all the bonuses given by the AFC will be given to the players, and an additional 5000 million yen bonus will be given.

However, these bonuses are indeed much lower than those of Evergrande.

This year, Evergrande was eliminated in the top 1500 of the AFC Champions League. In this way, they also got a bonus of about [-] million RMB. No team in the J-League can afford such a high bonus, especially a club like Tokyo FC. The AFC Champions League has been promoted one after another and has never talked about the bonus. It is only after entering the final that there is finally a bonus.

In fact, football can’t be played without money. Japan didn’t have the gold dollar football catalyst of the J-League years ago. The rise of Japanese football is probably just empty talk, but now the J-League has entered a mature stage and no longer needs big players. The amount of money invested is nothing more than that.

The fact that Ringer became the Asian player with the most goals in a single season in the AFC Champions League with 10 goals has also been widely reported. As one of the original record holders, Hao Haidong must be asked questions.

"I am very happy that a Chinese broke this record. Ringer is a very characteristic player. I believe he will be able to enter European football to play soon."

Fortunately, *** didn't fire, and didn't comment that Ringer can still be popular for a few years.

During the 2010 World Cup, *** was invited to be interviewed by a program. When talking about the football duo Messi and Ronaldo, *** openly declared: "In terms of ability, Messi is better, and Ronaldo is just a bragging. A star, fame outweighs strength, he can last another three years at most, he is no better than players like Klose and Rooney."

Now that the three-year period is approaching, Ronaldo is still extremely popular.In fact, three years, three years and three years, until 2018, Ronaldo was still one of the two hottest stars on the planet.

Therefore, whenever Ronaldo has a top performance, ***'s prophecy will be used as a joke, and *** will be pulled out to flog the corpse, and many people will go to *** Weibo to ask:
"Brother Hao, tell the truth, how many more years will Ronaldo be popular?"

"Brother Dong, tell me secretly, how many years will Ronaldo really be popular?"

Of course, this is all for later, and the three-year period has not yet passed, and *** has not been ridiculed in various ways.

Probably due to the relationship between being Chinese, *** did not comment this time that Ringer can still be popular for a few more years, otherwise it may be embarrassing in the future.

The second round of the Saudi Derby in the first half of the competition started the day after Tokyo FC eliminated Ulsan Hyundai and entered the final first.

Jeddah Al-Ahli lost 0:1 in the away game in the first leg, returned to the home court and scored the first goal to equalize the total score in the first half, and then scored another goal in the 86th minute, the total score was 2:1 against the city rivals Ittihad Jeddah will join Tokyo FC in the AFC Champions League final this season.

So far, two teams have been formed in the finals, both of which are newcomers to the AFC finals, and both entered the AFC finals for the first time, so there will definitely be a new AFC champion team this year, and both teams are Qualifying second in the group, the first team in the history of the AFC Champions League to qualify second in the group but eventually win the championship is about to emerge.

The day after the final opponent was determined, Japanese media broke the news that Tokyo FC club is applying to the AFC to change the venue of this year's AFC final to the larger Tokyo National Stadium.

According to this year's draw, the venue for the AFC Champions League final will be the Tokyo Stadium, home of Tokyo FC.

On the day the opponents of the AFC Champions League final were confirmed, Tokyo FC began to sell final tickets. Nearly 5 final tickets were sold in one day. The Tokyo Stadium only has a capacity of more than [-] people. The supply of tickets will definitely exceed demand, so Tokyo FC President Akune Kenji had an idea and applied to the AFC to change the venue of the final to the larger Tokyo National Stadium in the city center.

The Tokyo National Stadium is the largest comprehensive stadium in Japan. It can seat 8 spectators with a simple modification.

Before the AFC made a statement, the Saudi media protested, thinking that the draw had already been drawn, and Tokyo FC was not allowed to change the venue of the final without authorization.

According to the regulations of the AFC, in this year's AFC Champions League final, the two sides in the final will each get 18% of the tickets, and the rest will be given to neutral fans.In fact, the final was held in Tokyo, and everyone knew that these so-called neutral fans must be Tokyo FC supporters.

The capacity of the Tokyo Stadium is about 5, and 5% is about 18 tickets.According to Jeddah Ahli's estimate, there may be 6000 to 8000 fans who will go with the team to cheer for the team away. 1 tickets are enough. Changing to a bigger stadium will only make Tokyo FC supporters more excited. many.

Although Jeddah Ahli objected, it mainly depends on the thoughts of the AFC, and the Japanese media launched an offensive again.

Kuniya Ohin, chairman of the Japanese Football Association, said in an interview with reporters: "If the AFC agrees to Tokyo FC's replacement of the final venue, the Japanese Football Association is willing to temporarily lease the National Arena to Tokyo FC to host the AFC final."

At the same time, the Japanese media is also hyping up a topic: "Tokyo FC, as a super dark horse this season, has achieved amazing results. It already has a wide fan base in the Tokyo area. Even if the final venue is changed to the National Stadium with 8 people, enthusiastic Tokyo fans It will also fill the entire National Stadium. An AFC Champions League final watched by 8 people will be a huge milestone in the history of Asian football competitions."

This is also caused by a series of chances and coincidences. Tokyo is the largest city in Asia. Tokyo FC, an ordinary team, has sprung up this season, and its dark horse attributes have soared. All these combined together have led to the current situation. There must be a large number of local fans in Tokyo Go out and support your team.

The AFC did not resist this temptation either. The AFC Champions League final with the most fans watched live, a grand event with 8 people, this temptation is indeed great.

On November 11, one week before the final of the AFC Champions League, the AFC issued a statement agreeing to the application of Tokyo FC and agreeing to change the venue of the final to Tokyo National Stadium.

The Japanese are quite efficient, and soon Tokyo FC Club and the Tokyo Police began to prepare for the security issues of the AFC Champions League final, sorting out fans and so on.

The Japanese have a good face, and it is a big face-saving thing to create a huge final, but if there is a mistake in the final, it will become a big embarrassment.

At the same time, the team president Kenji Akune also issued a death order. The final must be won. If he loses the final in front of 8 people in his own place, it will be a great embarrassment for the club.

This year's AFC Champions League final is scheduled for November 11. Before that, Tokyo FC has another league game. In the 10st round of the league on November 11, Tokyo FC is going to challenge Nagoya Grampus away.

Nagoya Grampus is currently 3 points behind Urawa Red Diamonds in the standings, and there is still a chance to catch up and grab a qualification for the AFC Champions League. As long as they are players who will play in the AFC Champions League final, they will all rest.

Under such circumstances, Tokyo FC lost 0:2 to Nagoya Grampus in the away game. At the same time, Hiroshima Sanfrecce defeated Sapporo Consadole 3:0 at home in this round. Hiroshima Sanfrecce caught up with 59 points in the standings. The goal difference surpassed Tokyo FC by 4, and surpassed Tokyo FC to reach the top of the list.

However, Tokyo FC has no intention of managing the league for the time being, and the AFC Champions League final is the top priority.
