Step by Step to Win

Chapter 109: Cronies

   The 2-1 against Hiroshima Sanfrecce allowed Tokyo to finally have a relaxing match after losing consecutive games. After scoring three points again, Tokyo's ranking also rose by two. The strength of a reversal is like a heart booster for Tokyo FC, giving them a chance to breathe after their three-game losing streak. Victory is of course a good thing, but at this time there is another thing that bothers Tokyo: in this game, Tokyo replaced Hirayama Sota at halftime, which also caused media discussions. A lot of media are complaining about Hirayama Sangtai: I have to say that he is very smart and has a strong sense of presence in the game against strong opponents. In the face of weak players, the media is not paying special attention. A player who played well against Kashima Antlers was replaced in the middle of the game. Whether it was injury, condition, or conflict between the player and the head coach, there were divergent opinions for a while. It is not a common thing for a team to easily change its main players, and the media are also very clear about the reasons behind it.

   Among the various theories, the most noticeable is that some people say that this is Cheng Fuhao who wants to promote Gao Shunyao in order to cultivate his own power.

   This statement made people’s capital Fuhao blameless. It is very unpopular to use foreign aid without the good players of the country. Cheng Fuhao is a novice coach, and he hasn't achieved impressive results. He has also put aside players who have performed well in the first few games in the game, which makes the media have a lot of opinions on him.

   However, Shiro Fuhao didn't seem to hear those comments. In the next game against Omiya Squirrels, he instead made his own choice further, allowing Gao Shunyao to start.

   This is the first time that Gao Shunyao made his debut in the league. The replacement of the Japanese international team's starter has also attracted a lot of attention from the Japanese media.

   What left the media with nothing to say is that from the beginning to the end of this game, Gao Shunyao played fairly well.

   The Omiya Squirrels are not a strong team in the J-League. Their overall strength is also weaker than Tokyo FC. When they played against Tokyo FC, they didn't have many chances. Although Tokyo's playing style is conservative and not very good, their excellent defense and sharp counterattack did a good job after replacing them with Gao Shunyao who is more willing to run. That is to say, relying on the counterattack, Tokyo FC scored a goal from Ishikawa Naohiro, and won the game with a 1-0 game.

   Gao Shunyao didn't score a goal in the game, but his movement played an obvious role on both ends of the offense and defense. Although his skills are indeed inferior to Hirayama Sota, it can be seen that Tokyo's overall strength has improved.

   Changed to a worse forward, but the team's strength increased. Such things make the media a little strange. After the game, they could only pick that Gao Shunyao's specific skills were not good enough, and said something irrelevant.

   But when they were talking sourly, Gao Shunyao had already celebrated by himself and kicked the main force.

   "Today we have to celebrate. From today onwards, Lao Gao will be the main player in the J-League. In less than three months, he will be able to start the game. The speed of Lao Gao's improvement is definitely at the level of the Rockets!"

   After the game, in the house that Gao Shunyao and Li Ze rented by themselves, a few good friends also held glasses to celebrate Gao Shunyao's victory.

   "Of course I have to celebrate, Lao Gao finally made his start, and Li Zekao's C-level coach also passed. Such a big thing, of course, deserves a good celebration."

   sat next to Gao Shunyao, Chen Sirou took Li Ze's words. Unlike Li Zeguang who is boasting of Gao Shunyao, she has not forgotten Li Ze. Today’s celebration is not only for Gao Shunyao, but also for Li Ze.

   Li Ze passed the C-level coach exam, which is also very good news. During this period, both of them have made progress, and it is indeed worth celebrating.

   Although it is a celebration, in the small house rented by Gao Shunyao and Li Ze, there are only two of them, Chen Sirou and Tian Ying.

Unlike before, after joining the professional team, Gao Shunyao himself is considered a profitable person. When he was a student by himself and spent the money at home, Gao Shunyao never thought that he needs to save money when he spends it. It’s okay to invite friends to eat. He was never soft. But now, he started to make money. At the same time, he rented a house with Li Ze. Seeing Li Ze working hard every day, he also began to realize that making money is not easy, and money cannot be spent randomly. Therefore, he is no longer what he used to be. Spoiled.

   Of course, if it is a major honor like winning the championship, Gao Shunyao doesn't mind asking his friends for dinner. However, since it's just a trivial matter, it's fine to gather the few people you know best. Therefore, a few of them are even in their own homes and just cook their own meals. Hearing Chen Sirou complimenting herself, Li Ze shook her head slightly, but still accepted her compliment with a smile. He knew that Chen Sirou was not a girl who liked fake politeness. She was really happy for herself, so she would put this achievement on her own. There is nothing to be embarrassed about this kind of praise from friends.

   Since this time, Li Ze and Gao Shunyao have lived together. Tian Ying is still the same, and when she is okay, she will gather with her old friends. And Chen Sirou has been with Gao Shunyao for this period of time, and will run to their residence no matter what's going on. Chen Sirou was originally an outgoing temperament, and she was very generous and easy to deal with. After falling in love with Gao Shunyao, she soon became closer with Li Ze and Tian Ying, and now they are quite close. This hearty girl is very straightforward, and Li Ze doesn't hate her either.

"From then on, are you the absolute main force of the team?" The courtesy of several people, Tian Ying just looked at and smiled. She did not flatter each other with them, but raised questions to Gao Shunyao and interrupted. They complimented each other.

"It's not necessarily. If I don't play well, the team doesn't necessarily have to use me. Hirayama is not very good, but the team is not without money, and there are foreign aid quotas. By the middle of the season, from It’s not impossible to introduce players from Brazil. It’s a bit too early to say that I am the absolute main player. If the team gets in touch with any particularly good players, then I have to step aside."

   Gao Shunyao thought about this question before speaking. He didn't want to lie to his friends. Although the coach did say that he would give him a chance, he didn't dare to say whether he must be the main player.

   "It's only possible-as long as Lao Gao plays well enough in the next period of time, it is unlikely that a replacement will happen."

   Seeing Gao Shunyao's answer made Tian Ying a little dazed, Li Ze also took the topic. Indeed, what Gao Shunyao said is true, but in Li Ze's view, such a thing is unlikely to happen.

   First of all, although the team may buy people, any team buying people must consider a salary structure. The salary structure of the team must always be proportional, otherwise it will be difficult for the players to accept it. Now the J-League has a foreign player with a salary of 100 million yen. The introduction of a big name will greatly damage the salary structure. The J-League has a serious problem that old players can’t play with wages because of their years of merit. It’s difficult to clean up high-paid players. Urawa Ruby’s aging problem lies there. Yin Jian is not far away, and Tokyo should not be confused.

   Moreover, although Gao Shunyao's current level is indeed not particularly high, he also has a big advantage, that is, he is not very old. The age of 20 is the age of a rookie in football, especially for the position of the high center forward who relies on the body, this age is indeed just getting started. A player who is just starting out has always room for improvement. Gao Shunyao's mind is not too stupid, and he doesn't play indiscriminately. The coach has no reason not to believe that he can't play well. If the coach trusts him enough, it is impossible to introduce players to replace him.

   The J League has transformed from an input-type league to an output-type league in terms of business operations in recent years. Because of the economy and because of the most dynamic competition in Japan, baseball, it is difficult for football in Japan to develop into a model that attracts and commercializes the Premier League. Their development model is based on exporting players like Ligue 1 . In such a league, a young player who has just been kicked out is unlikely to be easily replaced.

There are these two reasons. In Li Ze's view, it should not be difficult for Gao Shunyao to secure a stable position in the league. Besides, there is another reason why he didn't say it: The performance of Tokyo FC this season is really not so good, Chengfu Hao is a novice coach with poor performance in leading the team. He also wants to introduce big names in the offseason. Even if he wants to, he has to ask the team whether he agrees or not.

Moreover, if the coach is smart enough, he won’t sign up: a major player has been abolished, and the team’s performance is not very good. If the coach wants to stay in office, what he should do now is to promote young people. , Let the team see the hope for the future. If it is shown that the main force has been abolished and the old players have been provoked, and if the signings do not give the young people any more room, his career will come to an end.

   Because of this, he can't sign in. The media is right. Gao Shunyao is now Cheng Fuhao's cronies.

"Let me say that Lao Gao will just play seriously in the next few days. No extra worry is necessary... Speaking of it, the League Cup should be known soon, and it will be a big deal for you. Test."

   Li Ze was talking and also talking about his views.

   The League Cup he said was clear, referring to the match in May. For the national team match day, there are only two J-League matches in May, while the League Cup matches are concentrated in May. After the 12th round, Gao Shunyao will face two lines of battle, and the pressure is still very high.

   However, the pressure is great, and the harvest will be great. If this period of time passes, Hirayama Sangtai will have no excuses and ability to compete with Gao Shunyao.

   And the competition during this period is actually very beneficial to Gao Shunyao: Tokyo's tough battles are basically over, and the biggest stubborn stubborn in the next league is the Nagoya Whales. Regardless of the league or the League Cup, Tokyo has no particularly strong opponents for nearly ten games. This is a godsend opportunity for Gao Shunyao.

   "However, I believe that such a trivial matter is nothing to Lao Gao. A toast for Lao Gao, for the main position, to play for Lao Gao, the better!"
