Chapter 83 The Last Round of Chaos

Gamba Osaka this season can be considered wonderful enough.

As No.3 in the league last season, they fell into the relegation zone after the first few rounds of this season, but they played a lot of other games.

Participated in the AFC Champions League qualifying round at the beginning of the season, successfully passed into the main match, and then went home after six group games.

The AFC Champions League is over, and the domestic cup competition in Japan is starting again. Gamba wants to make a breakthrough in this area. The League Cup quarter-finals draws the Chinese Kashiwa Helios.

Then came the Emperor's Cup. The Emperor's Cup champion can participate in the AFC Champions League next season. Gamba paid more attention to it. He went all the way to the quarterfinals and went to an away game against his city rival Osaka Sakura for 120 minutes. Finally, he eliminated his opponent with a penalty shootout. Now that the difficult Kashima Antlers have been drawn in the semi-finals, Gamba must be tough to the end.

Gamba Osaka, who are attacking everywhere, have never climbed out of the relegation zone in the league, but the score they played is not ugly.Many big scores this season were created by Gamba Osaka. For example, they slaughtered Nagoya Grampus Eight at home 5-0, defeated Sapporo Consadole who was worse than them 7-3, but also defeated Urawa Red Diamonds 2-6. :3 lost to Kashiwa Helios feat.

So far, Gamba Osaka is the team with the most goals in the J-League, scoring 32 goals in 64 rounds, the only team with more than 60 goals.

The Gamba people should be quite optimistic, because they took time to shoot a movie early in the season.

Currently in the standings, Gamba Osaka ranks third from the bottom with 37 points, 3 points ahead of the penultimate Swan Niigata, 2 points behind Vissel Kobe and 3 points behind Omiya Squirrel.To avoid relegation, Gamba must pull down one of Kobe Victory Ship and Omiya Squirrel, and ensure that the Niigata Swan behind him does not climb on top of him.

In short, Gamba Osaka no longer has the initiative to relegation. If he wants to relegation, he gets points while waiting for his opponent to make mistakes.

Outside the stadium, Gamba fans put up a banner: Conan has already explained everything.

In the movie version of Detective Conan released in the summer, the plot is predicted to be the last round of the league. Gamba Osaka defeated the Tokyo Soul team with difficulty at home and succeeded in relegation. Gamba fans use this to cheer for the team.

Although the reality is not the same as in the movie, this round is indeed critical. The match between Tokyo FC and Gamba Osaka involves a double complex situation of championship and relegation.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima's opponent in this round is Sakura Osaka, who has long been desperate. Osaka Sakura is still a typical Japanese offensive team. It will not be difficult for Sanfrecce Hiroshima to win, and there is even a high probability of winning a big victory, opening up again The goal difference with Tokyo FC.

Therefore, if Tokyo FC loses, it will be overtaken again, and at the same time, it will be at a relatively large disadvantage in terms of goal difference, and the initiative in the championship will be handed back to Hiroshima Sanjian.

And Gamba's relegation opponent Kobe Victory Ship will go to challenge Kashiwa Helios in an away game this round. Kashiwa Helios is currently unable to compete for the AFC Champions League qualification and has shifted his focus to the Emperor's Cup, but Kashiwa Helios is always stronger. It is the last home game of Kashiwa Helios this season, and it will never be waterproof, so the possibility of Kobe Victory losing is not small.

If Kobe loses, as long as Gamba beat Tokyo FC and score three points, they can overtake Kobe, climb out of the relegation zone, take the lead in the relegation battle, and take the initiative.

Gamba needs three points for relegation, and Tokyo FC needs three points for winning the championship, and no matter who gets three points, they can greatly benefit the situation they are in.

When facing the reporter's question about Conan's prediction, Ringer replied: "Everyone knows that Conan is a god of death. He will die no matter where he goes. It is a very ominous omen that the players of Gamba Osaka will participate in this kind of filming. gone."

"At the beginning of the season, Gamba was also scored the first goal by the 'J-League Grim Reaper' Maeda Ryoichi. I think the two Grim Reapers will find Gamba at the same time, and it may be difficult for them to survive relegation."

Linger's words caught the attention of the reporters, who believed that after Gamba Osaka was relegated, this was the "important reason" for their relegation.

※※※

It is indeed more difficult to play away against a giant team that needs to be relegated.

Chima Watanabe scored a goal for Tokyo FC in the 22nd minute of the first half, but Gamba Osaka evened the score 10 minutes later.

At the beginning of the second half, it was Ringer's long-range shot in the 60th minute and scored, but in the 75th minute, Gamba Osaka equalized the score again.

"Gamba played very tenaciously. They made the new AFC Champions encounter some trouble." The Japanese TV commentary said.

The tenacity of Gamba Osaka made Bobovich temporarily change his tactics and asked the whole team to withdraw their defense and hold a tie.

Tokyo FC still has a 3-point lead. Even if there is a draw and Hiroshima Sanfrecce wins, Hiroshima Sanfrecce will still be 1 point behind Tokyo FC. This is the 1 point brought by the draw. Tokyo FC can continue in the final round Take the initiative, as long as you win, you will definitely win the championship.

The final game ended 2:2, and Tokyo FC was tied away by Gamba Osaka.Everything was just as Bobovich expected. Hiroshima Sanfrecce beat Osaka Sakura 4:1 at home and scored another 3 goal difference in one breath, but Tokyo FC still led them by 1 point.

Ringer and Hisato Sato each scored a goal in this round, and both scored 22 goals in the league. The battle for the Golden Boot in the league will not be decided until the final round.

Victory Kobe did lose to Kashiwa Helios in the away game, but Gamba Osaka failed to score all three points, and Swan Niigata behind them beat Vegalta Sendai 1-0 in the away game, and Swan Niigata caught up.

It is understandable that Sendai was overthrown by the relegation team. The relegation team is indeed a headache. It is very puzzling that Urawa Red Diamonds also overturned in the away game against Tosu Sagan, who has no desires and desires.

More importantly, Sendai Vegalta and Urawa Red Diamonds both overturned, and Nagoya Grampus caught up again. Now they have the same 52 points as Urawa Red Diamonds. The final round of the league will become extremely complicated.

Currently in the J-League standings, Tokyo FC ranks first with 63 points, followed by Sanfrecce Hiroshima with 62 points, followed by Sendai Vegalta with 354 points, and Urawa Reds with 52 points in fourth and fifth place Drill and Nagoya Grampus Eight.

In the relegation zone, apart from Sapporo Consadole who has already sunk to the bottom, Omiya Squirrel landed ahead of schedule after winning this round, leaving Kobe Victory Ship, Gamba Osaka and Swan Niigata to compete for the last place to land.

Vissel Kobe scored 39 points, Gamba Osaka scored 38 points, and Swan Niigata scored 37 points.

In the last round, Tokyo FC will play against Sendai Vegalta at home. Tokyo will take three points to compete for the championship, and Sendai will take three points to secure the qualification for the AFC Champions League.

Urawa Red Diamonds will play Nagoya Grampus at home, and whoever wins will have a chance to overtake Vegalta Sendai and qualify for the AFC Champions League next season.

Vissel Kobe will play Sanfrecce Hiroshima at home. Hiroshima needs three points to compete for the championship, and Kobe needs three points to avoid relegation.

These three games are definitely key games. The results of each game are slightly different, which will affect the results of a season.

In addition, Niigata Swan played at home against Sapporo Consadole who had already been relegated, and Gamba Osaka played away against Iwata Joy. This is also a key game for relegation.

"The Last Round of Super Smash Bros." was the headline on the second day of Daily Sports.

"The last round of the league this season can be said to be the most chaotic last round in the history of the J-League. The championship team, the AFC qualified team, and the relegation team, the three kinds of teams are intertwined with each other. Different results will have a huge impact. The ownership of the championship, the qualification of the AFC Champions League, and the result of relegation all affect people's hearts. The reason for this chaotic situation may be related to the sluggish state of giants such as Gamba Osaka and Kashima Antlers this season. Not unrelated."

"The championship team is very simple. It is Tokyo FC and Hiroshima Sanfrecce. Currently, Tokyo FC leads Hiroshima Sanfrecce by 1 point, but for the final round of opponents, Tokyo FC will face Sendai Vegalta and Hiroshima. Sanfrecce’s opponent is Vissel Kobe, and Tokyo FC’s opponent is definitely more difficult in terms of difficulty, and the final result is still unpredictable.”

"The qualifications for the AFC Champions League of the J-League are the top three in the league and the champion of the Emperor's Cup. If the champion of the Emperor's Cup is also the top three in the league, then the No.4 of the league will take part. But this season, the teams that have reached the semi-finals of the Emperor's Cup They are all in the middle and lower reaches, and it is impossible for the Emperor's Cup champion to be the top three in the league, so the qualification for the AFC Champions League can only reach No.3 in the league."

"Among the three teams competing for the AFC Champions League qualification, Sendai Vegalta leads by 2 points, but they will go away to Tokyo FC in the last round, the strongest team in the J-League this season. Urawa Red Diamonds will play Nagoya Grampus Eight fights, if Sendai loses, whoever wins the two teams will qualify for the AFC Champions League next season, but if the two teams tie, then Sendai Vegalta will have to watch Sendai Vegalta to participate in the AFC Champions League next season. "

"Among the relegation teams, Vissel Kobe leads Gamba Osaka by 1 point, and Gamba Osaka leads Swan Niigata by 1 point. Their opponents in the final round also have different levels of difficulty. Swan Niigata, ranked last, faces difficulty at home Consadole Sapporo, who is the lowest, has the highest chance of winning. Gamba Osaka, who is ranked in the middle, is going to challenge Joy Iwata in an away game. Arrows, the probability of winning is the smallest.”
