A goal into the net, Gao shunyao also ignited the Tokyo team up and down, the desire to win. The victory of this game can make the team go further in the Asian championship, which is likely to help the team to qualify. All the players know that, but because Tokyo has lost all the previous two away games, they are also worried about whether they can win. However, after a goal, the players'' doubts disappeared: since they can score away goals, then they can win away games.
Tokyo''s morale rose with Gao shunyao''s goal, while Shandong Luneng failed to summon up the courage to make a final fight with Tokyo after losing another goal. This is their third home game. After losing the first two home games, they lost the ball again in the third game, which made them demoralized.
Luneng''s performance in the Asian championship has not been very good. On the one hand, this is the strength reason. From 2008 to 10, it was the peak period of Japanese and Korean football, and it was also the lowest point of CSL. In terms of investment scale, investment intensity and popularity, it is difficult for CSL to compare with other league matches in the Asian Champions League. It can not compete with Japan and South Korea for many years. It is really a matter of strength.
On the other hand, Luneng''s problem is largely due to their poor strength. They chose to break the pot and fall. Anyway, if they can''t make it to the end, it''s their consistent choice to give up early. Their Asian Champions League has always been very puzzling. It''s nothing to lose to Japan and South Korea, but sometimes even the teams in Southeast Asia lose, which makes people doubt that they are not interested in the Asian Champions League.
This time, Gao shunyao would rather believe that they are willing to play well in the Asian Champions League, but it''s hard to gather their morale when they give up more time. As a result, the balance of attack and defense between the two sides has been broken, and the pressure exerted by Tokyo on Luneng has become greater and greater. The situation on the field has fallen into Tokyo''s control.
It''s a terrible thing for the Japanese team to gain the midfield advantage. Although Tokyo''s attack is still not very good, it can still cause a lot of threats to Luneng. 70 minutes after the second half, after a corner kick and taking advantage of the chaos in the penalty area, Takahashi, a long-range shot from the back row, broke the goal again, adding a goal for Tokyo.
The score of 2-0 made Tokyo no longer worry about losing. They began to shrink their defense, maintained the victory to the end, and also got precious 3 points for themselves.
Luneng lost again, which made them scolded by Chinese fans and media after the game. It''s just their business. 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 competition, Gao shunyao opened the record, once again proved his strength, will certainly cause new discussion.
Tokyo''s guess is true, Gao shunyao scored in the game, was more and more people''s attention. Although some media still think that Gao shunyao''s playing for foreign teams is not worth praising, more media and fans think that players like Gao shunyao and Li Weifeng, who have played well in other Asian countries, are also the pride of their own country. Especially after the Chinese Super League''s blackout, everyone knows what the domestic football environment is and why they want to play Ask good players to stay at home and pester with those guys?
Gao shunyao is able to play, which is a good thing. 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.
"Now it seems that as long as you go back to the national team to play a game in May and perform better, the Chinese fans will certainly accept you. It''s a good thing for you. Congratulations in advance. "
Seeing the reports from China, even Cheng Fuhao said something to Gao shunyao after the match. His statement is undoubtedly to agree with Gao shunyao to play the Meaningless National Team friendly in May, which also makes Gao shunyao very happy.
"At that time, maybe you will become a big star, and a lot of endorsement contracts will come to you to sign. However, before that, don''t relax at last. If we are out of the Champions League, you are not worthy of your name
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 Asian championship is not over yet.
In the past of the fifth round, the away victory finally gave Tokyo FC a long breath. Relying on the victory over Shandong Luneng, they got a valuable away victory. They finally accumulated their own points to 9 points. After all, they didn''t finish the away game as the media said.
However, at this time, they also heard another bad news.
POSCO''s home game against Adelaide United was a draw.
Before the war, POSCO and Adelaide United scored 9 points, while Tokyo scored 6 points. Originally, they thought that after the victory and defeat of this war, Tokyo could also climb to the second place. But who knows, they didn''t win or lose, instead let Tokyo continue to stay in the third position.
"At present, POSCO and Adelaide have 10 points, which are the first and second in the group respectively. We are only nine points, third in the group. In the last game, Adelaide United played Shandong Luneng at home. After this game, they can basically be determined as 13 points. Relying on their winning and losing relationship with POSCO, they can basically be determined as the first in the group. "After the game, Cheng Fuhao said his opinion, and none of the players objected. Shandong Luneng lost five times in five games. The last game was away to Australia. Posco and Tokyo FC lost clean on that grassland. Shandong Luneng naturally can''t count on much. Gao shunyao''s eyelids picked twice. He wanted to say a word for Shandong Luneng, but he couldn''t say anything to defend Shandong Luneng''s five defeats.
This is not good news for Tokyo. If Adelaide United really gets 13 points, then Tokyo FC with 9 points can''t compete with them even if they play 100-0 in the last game, while POSCO failed to win them at home, that is to say, they gave up the first Archer of the group.
For Tokyo, this is also a very difficult situation: before, they hoped POSCO could win. If POSCO has accumulated 12 points, Adelaide United and Tokyo FC will accumulate 9 points. In that case, POSCO may take it back. If the situation is right, POSCO may directly release water to kill the Australians, and then join hands with Tokyo FC to qualify. Compared with the Australian team, Tokyo''s threat is smaller after all.
Moreover, even if we don''t consider the issue of water release, we only consider the game points. If POSCO wins this game, as long as Tokyo wins the last round of the game with Tokyo, then the three teams will accumulate 12 points. If Tokyo''s goal difference can be dominant, they may even become the first team in the group. After the Asian Championship reform, the first round of the knockout is a one round knockout system, and they still play at the home of the team who is the first in the group. This is a considerable advantage. Now, it seems that Tokyo has nothing to do with Tokyo.
Only now, POSCO has to compete with Tokyo FC for a quota. Even if Tokyo FC is outstanding at home, it needs to compete with last year''s champion team in the last round of the group stage This kind of thing, the difficulty is not small. In a week''s time, Tokyo''s life and death in the Asian Championship will be finally determined.
Cheng Fuhao takes this game seriously. The South Korean team has a strong ability to fight life and death. Tokyo must be 100% careful. However, before facing POSCO, Tokyo has another league game to play. The home match against Shimizu is also something Tokyo needs to deal with.
It is reasonable to say that there is a life and death battle with POSCO. In the middle of the week, in the race with Shimizu''s heartbeat, Tokyo has given up completely, and no one can object to anything. However, for this game, Tokyo has not spoken, the media have already confirmed that Tokyo will definitely be able to win.
The reason for the media''s recognition is Gao shunyao.
From the match with Adelaide United, including the cup match and the league match, Gao shunyao has scored in four consecutive rounds. And the beginning of the season, he has not scored the same, over the past two weeks, he is completely explosive trend.
Although J League has always been a league advocating attack, there are not many high-yield shooters in J League. It''s not a secret that J League has outstanding technology, but it doesn''t produce excellent shooters. For several years in a row, J League''s shooter list has about 20 goals. J League''s best striker, with an average of 0.6 goals per game, has no higher level.
Although Gao shunyao has not yet reached such a level, from his performance in these rounds, he is likely to become such a forward in the future. Scoring four games in a row is a great achievement in Japan. Gao shunyao''s current level needs to be reassessed by the media.
"We have reason to believe that Gao shunyao will still score in the next game, and we also believe that the ranking of Tokyo FC in the League will change to a certain extent."
The media always know how to look at the situation. For the players who have scored in four games in a row, they will not say any bad words. Moreover, more than that, they will wave the flag and shout for Gao shunyao. As for a player, there is nothing more highly praised than winning points for the team. The media''s evaluation of Gao shunyao obviously believes in his ability.
It has been six rounds since the beginning of the league. So far, Tokyo has only accumulated 7 points, and its ranking is still in the middle and lower reaches. Because at the beginning of the league, Tokyo lost three times in a row with too much debt, which made them not rank well in the league. The ranking of J-League is directly linked to the bonus. The Asian championship is important, but the J-League is also important. Tokyo needs League results. Now they have a striker like Gao shunyao who scores continuously. Since they have such strength, why don''t they win? What they need is to keep on singing and winning!
