Step by Step to Win

Chapter 157: decisive battle

With a goal into the net, Gao Shunyao also ignited the Tokyo team's desire for victory. The victory of this game can make the team go further in the AFC and it is very likely to help the team qualify for the team. The players all know it, but because Tokyo has lost the previous two away games. Whether they can win, the Tokyo players are also uneasy. However, after a goal, the players' doubts disappeared: since they can score away goals, they can get away wins.

Tokyo's morale rose with Gao Shunyao's goal, but after Shandong Luneng lost another goal, he failed to summon the courage to make a final fight with Tokyo. This is their third home game. After losing the first two home games, they lost the ball again in the third game, which also made them lose morale.

Luneng’s performance in the AFC has never been very good. On the one hand, this is the reason for its strength. From 2008 to 10, it was the peak period of Japanese and Korean football, and it also happened to be the lowest in the Super League. Valley. In terms of investment scale, investment intensity, and popularity, it is difficult for the Chinese Super League to compare with other leagues in the AFC. It can't compete with Japan and South Korea for many years. It is indeed a matter of strength.

On the other hand, Luneng had such a problem, largely because after their lack of strength, they chose to break the pot. Anyway, it was their consistent choice to give up early if they couldn't make it to the end. They have always played inexplicably in the AFC, losing to Japan and South Korea is nothing, but sometimes even the Southeast Asian teams lose. It is really doubtful that the mind is not in the AFC match.

In this match, Gao Shunyao would rather believe that they are willing to play the AFC Champions League, but he had more time to give up. Naturally, it will be difficult to gather morale. The declining morale made Tokyo quickly control the game. The balance of offense and defense between the two sides was broken. Tokyo put more and more pressure on Luneng, and the situation fell into Tokyo's control.

It is a terrible thing to get a midfield advantage by the Japanese team, although Tokyo's offense is still not particularly good. But it can still pose a lot of threats to Luneng. After 70 minutes in the second half, after a corner kick. Taking advantage of the chaos in the penalty area, Hideto Takahashi inserted a long shot from the back row and broke the goal again, adding a goal for Tokyo.

The score is 2-0. Let Tokyo no longer worry about defeat, they began to shrink the defense, maintained the victory to the end, and also scored valuable 3 points for themselves.

Luneng's defeat again caused them to be scolded by Chinese fans and the media after the game. It was just their business, and now it seems that it has little to do with Tokyo. After the game, Tokyo is more concerned about how Gao Shunyao will be evaluated by the Chinese team. In the game. Gao Shunyao opened the record for the first time and once again proved his own strength, which will certainly arouse new discussions.

Tokyo's guess is true. Gao Shunyao scored a goal in the game, and more and more people noticed it. Although some media still believe that Gao Shunyao's playing for foreign teams is not worthy of praise, more media and fans believe that Gao Shunyao and Li Weifeng play in other Asian countries. Players who have achieved good results are also the pride of their own country. Especially after the Chinese Super League’s black game, everyone knows what the environment of domestic football is. Why should good players stay in the country to entangle with those guys?

It is a good thing that Gao Shunyao can be kicked out. How about playing for a foreign team? As long as he is willing to play for the national team, he is a good player in China.

"It now seems that if you return to the national team to play a game in May, and then perform better, the Chinese fans will definitely accept you. This is a very good thing for you. Congratulations in advance. Up."

Seeing the report on this incident in China, even Cheng Fuhao spoke to Gao Shunyao after the game. His statement is undoubtedly agreeing to Gao Shunyao to play a meaningless national team friendly match in May, which also made Gao Shunyao quite happy.

"At that time, maybe you will really become a big star, and a large endorsement contract will come to you for signing. However, before that, you should not relax at the end. If we are out of the AFC Champions League, you This new star is a bit of a misnomer."

Although Cheng Fuhao is also very satisfied with Gao Shunyao's performance, he is still worried that Gao Shunyao will become proud now, so he is also reminding him that the AFC Champions League is not over yet.

After the fifth round of the game, this away victory gave Tokyo a sigh of relief. Relying on the victory over Shandong Luneng and won a valuable away victory, they finally accumulated their points to 9 points. After all, they did not finish the away game as the media said.

However, just at this time, they also heard another bad news.

Pohang Steelers' home game against Adelaide United was a draw.

Before this battle, Pohang Steelers and Adelaide United both scored 9 points, and Tokyo scored 6 points. Originally, they thought that after this battle was divided, Tokyo could climb to tied for second place. But who knows, they didn't even tell the winner, and instead allowed Tokyo to stay in the third position.

"Now, Pohang Steelers and Adelaide have 10 points together. They are first in the group and second in the group respectively. We have only nine points and are third in the group. In the last game, Adelaide United At home against Shandong Luneng, after this game, they can basically be determined to be 13 points, relying on their dominant relationship with Pohang Steelers, they can basically be determined to be the first in the group."

After the game, Shiro Fuhao said his views, and none of the players opposed it. Shandong Luneng lost five games in five games. The last game was an away game against Australia. Pohang Steelers and Tokyo both lost cleanly on that grassland. Naturally, Shandong Luneng couldn't count on much. Gao Shunyao's eyelids picked up twice. He wanted to say something for Shandong Luneng. But think about Shandong Luneng's current group defeat of the bottom of the five, he really can't say anything to justify.

This is not good news for Tokyo. If Adelaide United really scored 13 points, then Tokyo’s 9-point game won’t be able to compete with them if they scored 100-0 in the last game. Pohang Steelers Failure to win them at home is tantamount to giving up the group's first hand.

For Tokyo, this is also a very difficult situation: they hoped that POSCO would win. If POSCO has accumulated 12 points now, then Adelaide will have 9 points with the same score. German Union and Tokyo. In that case, maybe Pohang Steelers may take it away. If it depends on the situation, it may directly release the water, kill the Australians, and then join hands with Tokyo to qualify—compared to the Australian team, Tokyo’s The threat is smaller after all.

Moreover, even if the issue of water release is not considered, only the points of the game are considered. If Pohang Steelers wins this game, then as long as Tokyo wins the last round of the game against Tokyo, then the three teams will have the same score of 12 points. . If Tokyo’s goal difference can dominate, they may even become the first in the group. After the AFC reorganization, the first round of the knockout round will be a single-leg elimination system, and they will still play in the home court of the first team in the group. The ball, this is a considerable advantage, and now, he seems to have nothing to do with Tokyo.

It's just that in the current situation, Pohang Steel must compete with Tokyo for a place. Even if Tokyo is strong when playing at home, but in the final round of the group stage, it needs to fight for places with last year's championship team... Such a thing is difficult to see. In one week, the life and death of Tokyo in the AFC will finally be revealed.

Cheng Fuhao valued this game very seriously. The South Korean team is very capable of fighting life and death, and Tokyo must be 100% careful. However, before facing the Pohang Steelers game, Tokyo still has a league game to play. The main match against Shimizu's heartbeat is also something Tokyo needs to deal with.

It stands to reason that with a life-and-death battle with Pohang Steelers in the middle of the week and a match with Shimizu's heartbeat, Tokyo simply gave up, and no one can oppose it. However, for this game, Tokyo hasn't spoken yet, and the media have already determined that Tokyo will definitely be able to win.

The reason for the media's determination is Gao Shunyao.

Since the match against Adelaide United, including the Cup and League, Gao Shunyao has scored four consecutive rounds. Unlike the beginning of the season, he has never scored. In the past two weeks, he has been in a completely explosive trend.

Although the J-League has always been an offensive league, there have always been not many shooters who can be highly productive in the J-League. It’s not a secret that the j-League has outstanding skills, but it does not produce excellent shooters. For several years in a row, the j-League’s scorer list has scored about 20 goals. The best forward in the j-League has an average of 0.6 per game The ball, there is no higher level.

Although Gao Shunyao has not yet reached such a level~www.ltnovel.com~, judging from his performance in these rounds, it is entirely possible for him to become such a forward in future games. Goal in four consecutive games is a remarkable achievement in Japan. Gao Shunyao's current level needs to be re-evaluated by the media.

"We have reason to believe that Gao Shunyao will still score goals in the next games, and we also believe that Tokyo's ranking in the league will change to a certain extent."

The media always knows how to look at the situation. For players who have scored in four consecutive games, they will definitely not say anything bad. And, more than that, they will also cheer for Gao Shunyao. For a player, there is nothing that can be more praised than for the team to score points. The media evaluates Gao Shunyao in this way, obviously very much believes in his ability.

The league has started six rounds, and Tokyo has only accumulated 7 points so far, and the ranking is still in the middle and lower reaches. Because at the beginning of the league, Tokyo owed too much debt for their three-game losing streak, which made their ranking in the league poor. The ranking of the j-league is directly linked to the prize money. The AFC Champions League is important, but the j-league is also not negligible. Tokyo needs league results, and now they have forwards like Gao Shunyao who have scored consecutive goals. Since they have such strength, they Is there any reason not to win? What they need is to continue to sing forward and win the game in one go! (To be continued)
