Step by Step to Win

Chapter 101: Bad start

   As a coach of a team, when dealing with the affairs of the team, sometimes, he must take into account the different needs of a team up and down, main players and substitutes, new players and veterans. In order to ensure the league results, it is necessary to use more old players, and in order to ensure the future of the team, it is also necessary to use young people to play more on the court. Especially for a league where Japan’s renewal is very fast and one of its main tasks is to cultivate talents, it is necessary to use young people more.

  Shiro Fukuhiro knows this, so his promise to the players is to allow young people to perform at will in the League Cup.

   Japan’s League Cup is one of Japan’s two major cups, but just like the English League Cup, the status of this League Cup is much worse than the Emperor’s Cup. The champion of this cup has no AFC places and no Super Cup to play. There are only 18 participating teams, which are small in size. Therefore, the League Cup has always been relatively despised and played very well for young people.

Moreover, the Japanese League Cup is very suitable for training newcomers in terms of the competition system: the rules of this game are quite interesting: he is different from the English League Cup, his participating team is only the J1 team, and its competition system is not a knockout system. It is the group stage first, then the knockout stage. What's more dumbfounding is that this group match is only divided into two groups.

   The rules of the Japanese League Cup are that among the 18 teams in the J1 League, 4 of them have the AFC Champions League and they do not need to play in the group stage. The remaining 14 teams are divided into two groups, each with seven teams. After a six-round group match, each group will decide two winners, one four teams, and four AFC Champions League. The team entered the quarter-finals, played in the knockout rounds, and finally decided to win.

   This kind of game system is quite good, which means that each team has at least six group matches to play. For young people like Gao Shunyao, playing time can be said to be quite guaranteed. It is very rare for a young man to start six games in a season.

   Because of the coach’s commitment, although the young people on the team did not get any chances in the friendly matches, they were still very diligent in exercising their strength. And in their efforts, a new season has arrived as promised.

   What makes it difficult for Tokyo FC to accept is that Tokyo's first game was lost.

   In the first game of the season, Tokyo FC played against the Niigata Swans. The strength of the two teams is roughly the same, neither of which have real international players, and their strengths are relatively average. However, in this game, Tokyo FC looked extremely weak in front of the Niigata Swans and was directly beaten to a score of 4-1.

   The reason is actually very simple: Tokyo FC has only three foreign players in the lineup, and Gao Shunyao is still sitting on the bench. There are four foreign players in the Niigata Swan lineup, and these people are basically all new to Niigata Swan. For a team of this level in the J League, there are more foreign players in the team, and the strength is undoubtedly stronger. Moreover, foreign aid is just introduced, so it is easy to beat the opponent with insufficient preparation. Niigata Swans introduced new foreign aid, which allowed them to gain the upper hand in this game. Not long after the game started, they scored two goals. Although Tokyo has been thinking about counterattacks, we know that at the end of the game, they only scored one goal. On the contrary, Tokyo himself was discouraged in the second half and was caught up with two more goals by his opponent.

"It's not that our strength is not good, but that our opponents have introduced new foreign players. We still don't understand their characteristics, so we suffered a lot when we played against each other. This is not a big problem. The league is very long and one game decides. Nothing."

   After the game, facing the strength of the team, Cheng Fuhao could only enlighten the team in this way. Cheng Fuhao is not convinced of this failure: the opponent has enough foreign aid, and the team's failure is not his own problem.

   The characteristic of the Japanese league is that it is rich in midfielders and full-backs. Their weakness is that there are few good players in the forwards and backs. This feature is just the opposite of South Korea. The hardness and attack of the South Korean team are not as weak as they are, but they lack the commanding talent of the midfielder.

   The lack of fixed position players will make the team weak. However, all teams are weak in the same position, which makes it much easier for these teams to sign in. By introducing a few good forwards and guards, you can double the strength of your team. This is nothing new for Japan.

   Niigata Swan did just that, they won because of signings. But Tokyo FC has no good foreign players. Gao Shunyao's signings did not play anything in this game. Although he also got the chance to play, the team was already behind when he came on. His performance is not good, but he can't be blamed. After all, it is a 4.8 million player, and Cheng Fuhao did not expect him to reverse the overall situation. Even if it is really complaining, it should be complaining that there is no main force to play.

   A bad start, it can be said to be a serious blow, but for Tokyo FC, this is just the beginning. After losing the first battle, a week later, Tokyo soon ushered in the second defeat. Their opponent in the second game was Urawa Ruby. In this game, Tokyo was naturally defeated without any suspense.

Urawa Ruby’s team was the Asian champion in the 2007 season. In the 2007 and 08 seasons, they were both strong contenders for the league championship. The previous season was overturned at the end of the season, and the next season was left behind at the end of the season. It's a pity to lose all seasons. In terms of strength alone, they are much better than Niigata Swans.

In the general comments of the Japanese media, Urawa’s current strength is not as good as Kashima: Urawa Ruby’s current lineup is aging, and the player salaries are extremely high. Three old players with a salary of 100 million yuan have delayed their lineup. Therefore, it is gradually losing the competitiveness of the league.

   However, although their lineup is aging, but at the beginning of the season, at the beginning of the league, their strength is not weak at all. The three majors, Hobe Moe, Tanaka Tokasa are a group of international players, plus Edmilson, Eduardo, and Ponte three Brazilians. When they faced Tokyo FC, they directly played Tokyo FC. No temper, he lost two goals shortly after the opening, and the audience was suppressed.

   After the start of the second half, Tokyo FC lost the third goal, which also let the team lose early. But what is gratifying is that the morale of this team is pretty good, because there is no hope. When the time is less than 60 minutes, Gao Shunyao was replaced, and he basically had nothing to do with the last game on the court. The difference is that Gao Shunyao has already started to play a bit in this game. At the last moment of the game, Gao Shunyao took advantage of Urawa Ruby's carelessness and took advantage of Tanaka Tokasa's too strong loophole. The header ferry sent the ball to Kabore's feet to help the team get back a goal.

   1-3, Tokyo FC lost the second game.

   lost two consecutive games and lost seven goals. If it weren't for looking at Kabore, it would be a scandal. Fortunately, after two games, the new players in the J-League are almost all familiar with each team. Tokyo FC no longer has to worry about the sudden emergence of players taking the cold to them. On the other hand, in the third round, they finally ushered in a weak opponent: the opponent in this round, the Kyoto Phoenix, was much weaker than Urawa Ruby.

   The Kyoto Phoenix team has a famous player Park Ji-sung who once went out. For this reason, they also prefer to use Korean players. In their team, there are only two Brazilians, while South Korean foreign aid and Japanese Koreans each have one. Compared to Tokyo, their strength is slightly weaker, especially their guard Sidi Sel is already a 37-year-old guard, which allows Tokyo to take advantage of it.

It is a pity that Tokyo still did not win this game: In the game, South Korean player Lee Jung-soo, almost the whole game stared closely at Kabore, so Tokyo had to focus on the offensive focus on Hirayama. Too much. However, Hirayama Sangata missed the opportunity again and again during the game, and could not break the opponent's door.

   Although Tokyo had the advantage, but the goal was delayed, until the 70th minute, Nao Hanyu scored a goal just now. It is a pity that the Kyoto Phoenix is ​​not a team waiting to die. The high center of their team, Toyota Hinata, also seized the opportunity to score a goal in the final time, which made the game ended 1-1.

   After losing the first two games to the overall strength, Cheng Fukuhao has nothing to say. Coughing for a domestic product, he also made a few complaints when he was talking to his assistant coach Yu Ma Xianer in private.

"People say ~www.ltnovel.com~ Hirayama Sota is a monster in Japan, Japan's best high center forward. But in this game, his performance is really not as good as the opposite Toyota Hinata. If you give Toyota Hinata to Me, I have been able to win this game, and I won’t have the advantage. In the end, it was just 1-1."

   Hirayama Aita didn't play very well in the past few games. I can forgive him for the first two games. The third game is hard to tolerate. Cheng Fuhao originally had high hopes for him, but now, he has begun to agree with Da Xiongqing. He doesn't want to blame the players at the beginning of the season, but he still slowly accumulates dissatisfaction in his heart. And these complaints were heard by Ma Xian'er, and he could only comfort him a few words.

"Let him trust him. After all, the season has just started, and maybe you have to adjust. Besides, if you want to change him, someone has to change it. Whether our substitutes can replace him, you have to see. You only know one game."

   His persuasion left Shiro Fukuho speechless. Indeed, at the beginning of the season, you have to wait for any thoughts. The substitute players want to replace the main force, but they can't just watch three games.

   Moreover, Gao Shunyao didn't play much in these three games. In the first game, Gao Shunyao didn't play much like the team. In the second game, although he assisted with one goal, it was irrelevant to the overall situation. In the third game, Cheng Fuhao wanted to bet on Hirayama Sangtai's ability, and did not change until 82 minutes. There was too little time for Gao Shunyao, and there was no room to play.

   I want to see how strong he is, I can't tell in these few games. However, the next game is the League Cup match between Tokyo FC and Yamagata Yamagami. In this game, Gao Shunyao will be the starter, and his strength can also be tested.
