Step by Step to Win

Chapter 69: Emperor's Cup

   Gao Shunyao scored a wonderful goal that made him the focus of attention for a long time. His goals, his physique, and his nationality have all been discussed in the Japanese media. However, this kind of discussion gradually faded as the game continued. After all, the JFL level is only a low-level league. Although a brilliant goal will take the eye, it cannot be the focus of the discussion. Apart from lamenting a few words about Gao Shunyao's good physical fitness, and complaining a few words that cultivating foreigners is a problem for raising tigers, the Japanese media has nothing new.

  Similar remarks have long been unable to arouse people's interest. The issue of Japanese football training players from other Asian countries has become a commonplace in Japan. Even Park Ji-sung, the core of South Korea’s national team, came out of the J-League’s Kyoto Phoenix. In addition to the envy and hatred of the Koreans, the Japanese can only say sourly when South Korea mentions Park Ji-sung. In fact, it was cultivated by the Japanese.

Cultivating foreigners in Japan is not news. South Korea’s top athletes come to Japan to play football. This is already an industry chain. The Japanese who have trained a large number of Korean players don’t feel that they can train another Chinese player to play. How incredible.

   Besides, after this game, Liu Jingda did not play very well in the next game, which also made the media lose interest.

   In this round of competition, Liu Jing Da played quite lazy. They seemed to have lost the idea of ​​further competing for the championship, and the overall play was mediocre. Gao Shunyao was replaced early in 60 minutes. It seems that after the relegation is successful, they don't care about the outcome.

   If it is another team, it would be considered inappropriate to give up the game at this time. Their current points are not low, and if they fight hard for a while, they may become the top few in the league. However, with the choice of Liu Jingda, the people who understand the affair quickly understood Liu Jingda's idea: anyway, they don't want to upgrade to J2, and it is unnecessary to spend too much energy in the league. Compared with the league, there are more important things to consider in the current flow.

   September has arrived, and there are less than ten rounds left in the league. At this time, the Emperor's Cup needs to be considered. After all, compared to the amateur league of the JFL League, the Emperor's Cup is also a top-level event no matter what. Whether they want to introduce their players to more teams, or want to establish the prestige of the team, and strive to recruit more good players next year, they should pay more attention to the Emperor's Cup.

   This top domestic cup match in Japan cannot be missed.

   There are two cups in Japan, one is the League Cup and the other is the Emperor's Cup. The League Cup will decide the champion in the first half of each year. It only belongs to the J1 level, and even professional teams at the J2 level cannot participate, and its influence is relatively limited.

   The Emperor’s Cup is theoretically a game that all Japanese football teams must participate in. Its model is somewhat similar to that of the FA Cup in England. The biggest feature is that there are multiple levels of teams participating. Moreover, the champion of this cup can get a place for intercontinental competitions. In the 2008 AFC Champions League regulations, China, Japan and South Korea all have four places. In addition to the top three in the league, Japan also has one place for the Emperor's Cup champions. This quota also makes the Emperor's Cup more valued than the League Cup.

This game is held in the last two months of each year. According to the requirements, there are 18 teams from J1, 15 teams from J2, the champion team of JFL, plus the Prime Minister's Cup champion-that is, the university football champion of Japan. , And each of Japan’s 47 prefectures has sent a football team, a total of 84 teams are competing for the Emperor's Cup.

   During the first and second rounds, 47 county representative teams and college representative teams competed together in the first and second rounds, and 12 of the 48 teams competed. Then they played the third round with J2, a total of 28 teams from the 16 JFL champions, and 14 were promoted. Then, a total of 32 teams competed between these 14 teams and 18 J1 league teams, and 16 teams were decided. The rest is a step-by-step game.

   There are many participating teams in the Emperor’s Cup. The teams participating in this tournament include professional teams, amateur teams, semi-professional local and corporate teams, and university teams. Because of the large number of participating teams and wide coverage, and in such a game, the probability of upset because they are not familiar with each other is very high, so sometimes there will be some teams that can persist in going far. Although, under normal circumstances, the team that finally competes for the championship will still be a J1 level team, but it is also great to be able to stick to the J1 level team in this game.

   Every year after the Emperor's Cup, players are selected by professional J-League teams, relying on their outstanding performance in the J-League. And now, Liu Jingda has to work hard to participate in the Emperor's Cup.

In the    Emperor's Cup competition system, if the qualifications of the champion and professional team are in accordance with the regulations, there is nothing circulating in the University of Economics-they are ranked in the middle of the JFL and have nothing to do with the champion. Although they are a college team, but they do not compete for the Prime Minister's Cup, it has nothing to do with this championship. In this way, it seems that they are not eligible to participate in this game, but if it comes to the representative teams of each county, then Liu Jingda is eligible to compete.

   In fact, if it is said in theory, since each county has a representative team, it would be a better choice for the champion team of the county’s own county league to participate in football matches. But this kind of thing is easy to say, but impossible to do. The Japanese have always wanted to integrate their football with the world, but after all, Japanese football is not as deep in life as in Europe. It has not been practiced for so many years, and naturally it will not reach every county. Japan has forty-three prefectures and two prefectures. Not each has its own league. Japan has 9 prefecture and prefecture leagues, but Japan has 47 prefectures and prefectures, but there are no leagues in the rest.

Of course, Japan’s nine higher-level regional leagues cover the whole country. If you say that, you can just let the teams in your own regional league play-but the problem is that there is another problem here: that is Is the team in the regional league the strongest team in the county?

   Japan’s football model has another problem: Although they have their own county-level league, the county-level league is not the highest level league in their county. Which league is better, the county amateur league or the college league, is also a big question. The average retirement age of Japanese football players is 25. Because of the low income of Japanese football, many people no longer insist on playing football after graduating from college. Therefore, the level of amateur league is not high, and the level of amateur league and university league is not higher. A fixed number, who can better represent his county? This is also a problem.

  Because of such system problems, the way for each county at this time is to consider holding qualifying matches and select the best teams from different leagues. Generally speaking, it is to let the county's top team in the regional college league, the county's top team in the regional league, and the teams that can have a foothold in the county in the JFL, together to conduct a trial match, and compete for one. The team represents the county.

   Regional League is a higher-level league than the prefectural league. The level of teams that can be ranked at the top of this level is certainly not low. The college league also has a geographical distinction, and some college teams have no shortage of talents. Able to gain a foothold in those two leagues, and basically try to play with the JFL league-all professional teams in the J League can directly qualify for the competition. There is no need to consider playing on behalf of the county, so the elites in these amateur leagues The team has become the main contender.

   According to this regulation, the University of Circulation Economics is also eligible to compete.

   flows through the big campus, in both Chiba and Ibaraki prefectures, but their registration is based on the school headquarters in Ibaraki Prefecture. The qualification competition for Ibaraki Prefecture to play is to compete with the best teams in Kanto Level 1 and Kanto University Level 1 in Ibaraki Prefecture.

"It can be said that we got the qualification to play, there is almost no doubt. We were originally promoted from Kanto 1 level, there is no team in there to compete with us. As for the university team, there is no difficulty. We think It is very simple to get this quota."

   When talking about the Emperor's Cup, Lin Changyang, a veteran player, also explained to them. He is also quite optimistic about this. Although the teams in the Kanto region are quite strong, for Liujingda, participating is not a problem.

What he said is also very right: Let’s leave it alone for the time being, the best team in Kanto University’s 1st level league ~www.ltnovel.com~ Ibaraki Prefecture also flows through the big-although in this league, it flows through. The big second team only ranked fifth, but the first four teams were all Tokyo teams, and the only teams that belonged to Ibaraki Prefecture were them and the University of Tsukuba behind them. Of course, the team is also very relieved to compete for qualifications with a team that can't even play with their own second team.

   qualifying is a proper thing, so the team will naturally think about it in advance, when it really goes to play the Emperor's Cup, how the team should play. If you want to play on behalf of Ibaraki Prefecture, then the qualifying matches and the first and second rounds of the Emperor's Cup are in conflict with JFL events. Two-line combat is a bit difficult for a young team like Dawei, and there is no need. In order to better cope with the Emperor's Cup game, Liujingda also decided to stay in the league.

   This is why Gao Shunyao only played 60 minutes in the game, and now his energy is also on the Emperor's Cup.

   Gao Shunyao did not object to the team’s arrangement: Although he disliked the names of the Emperor’s Cup and the Prime Minister’s Cup, he cares more about the game itself than this name.

He also cares about how many rounds his team can make in this game: speaking, the first two rounds do not seem to have a big problem. Everyone is an amateur team, and Gao Shunyao will not be afraid of other counties Team. But if in the third round, meet the J2 League, or in the fourth round, after encountering the J1 League, will your team still compete with them? This is an interesting question.

   Gao Shunyao has always believed that his team is very strong, but can he compete with professional teams? He also wants to know.
