vs 106 The possibility of repentance
86_86638Since the League Cup, Hirayama has been scolded by the media very much, and it seems that he is about to lose his status as the main player in the league. If things really go so smoothly, of course it's a good thing for Gao Shunyao. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen so easily.
In the fourth round, Tokyo FC successfully defeated Iwata Joy, so that this discussion was temporarily suppressed.
Iwata Joy is a veteran powerhouse in the J League, and if you only talk about honors, there are probably only Kashima Antlers, who can be ranked as the top team with this team. It's a pity that in recent years, Iwata Joy has not been strong, and they also have a bit of a soft persimmon in front of Tokyo FC.
Facing weak opponents, excellent competitors in the team, and the media discussion during this time, Hirayama Sota finally stopped being so idle in the game. Rarely, he started Gao Shunyao's running like Gao Shunyao in the game, going back and forth, and passing. It's true that Hirayama doesn't play very hard when he plays football, but his strength is still there after all. His struggle gave Tokyo FC a big advantage in the game, and in a counter-attack, a successful offside goal from Kabore ended the game 1-0, and Tokyo FC finally won their first game of the season.
The long-awaited victory made Tokyo FC breathe a sigh of relief. The league also won and started to move the team in the right direction, and the media criticism can be stopped for a while, which has to be said to be a good thing. And Hirayama is extremely grateful for the victory in this round, he has been scolded for a long time, and from last season to now, he has not stopped being blamed. Now that he has won a victory, he can finally take a breather.
With three points in hand, Tokyo FC is still very happy. And in this match, coach Hiroshi Fukuhiro has hope for Hirayama Sota again.
Now in the team in Tokyo, it is still a little early for Gao Shunyao to replace Hirayama Sota, and he was able to stimulate Hirayama Sota, which may be the best ending. There may be a saver for Shota Hirayama, and it would be great if he could really repent and start playing in earnest.
His expectations seem to have come true in the next game. In the fifth round, in the match against the Oita Trinita, Hirayama finally broke the long-standing silence. In the 13th minute of the match, he broke the gate of Oita Trinita with a header.
His goal led to the victory. After all, Oita Trinita is only a weak team, and they are powerless to resist against the main players of Tokyo FC who are playing at full strength. Soon, they were beaten by Tokyo FC and Hideto Takahashi's long-range shot netted the net to make Oita Trinita lose 2-0.
"As it turns out, Shota Hirayama is still the best high school striker in the entire J-League. Even if last season's head coach had no eyes and used Shingo Akaye, who was not as strong as him, which delayed Hirayama's state and made him experience a sluggish season, but in the new season, he still played very well......"
After Shota Hirayama scored, it didn't take long for the newspapers to have all sorts of flattery. For a while, the media were vying to say that Hirayama had regained his form and began to score goals again, and his strength was still the best in the J League. This kind of tout has an obvious tendency, even if you are stupid, you can see that this is Hirayama Sota is carrying out public relations for himself, but since he has scored, no one cares if he is looking for someone to tout.
As long as you can play well, no matter how much nonsense you talk about, someone will applaud it. A while ago, people were still stepping on the flat mountain, but after a while, people began to praise him again.
The fickleness of the media is somewhat shameless, and it is also an obstacle for Gao Shunyao to compete for the main position. However, this qiē did not affect Gao Shunyao's feelings, and even when Gao Shunyao and Li Ze spoke in private, they were not without ridicule for this.
"I thought that a good performance would have to be required to be of a higher standard. One goal in five rounds, with this kind of efficiency, he dares to claim that it is a good performance, and this guy really doesn't blush. ”
Although the media has blown it up, in the end, Hirayama is just a striker who has scored one goal in five rounds. For a striker, it's not very efficient. Just played two good games and started bragging, Hirayama is too impatient now.
However, no matter how much he looked down on him, he also admitted that Hirayama Xiangta was indeed very capable: in these two rounds, he began to play seriously, and his running momentum also came up, and his role on the court was above Gao Shunyao.
If Gao Shunyao wants to replace him, he still needs a better cousin.
This kind of table, Gao Shunyao is not unable to take it out. In the following game, in the sixth round of the league against Yamagata Yamagami, Gao Shunyao finally got his own league goal: in the contest with the promoted polo team, Tokyo FC took a 2-0 lead early, because Hirayama was tired in these rounds and consumed a lot of body, so in the 60th minute, Gao Shunyao was substituted.
And in a short period of time, Gao Shunyao scored his first league goal. In a corner kick attack in the 76th minute, Naohiro Ishikawa's corner kick was jumped up by Gao Shunyao at the back point, and a beautiful header scored the goal.
Scoring from set-pieces means that the team's run-in is finally starting to become proficient. scored such a goal, and compared to Cheng Dù, who surrounded Gao Shunyao's tactics, Hirayama Sota was still too good. The competition between two people is not so simple to end, on the contrary, their competition has just begun.
For a while, no one paid attention to these problems. After the third round of matches, Tokyo FC's position was still in the bottom position of the league, and with a wave of three or two, Tokyo FC has improved its position to sixth place in the league. Gamba Osaka and Nagoya Whales, both of whom are in front of them, also have 10 points, but because they have more goal difference, they are temporarily in the front row.
Winning can mask a lot of problems and also make a player's shortcomings invisible. However, it is impossible for the league to only play against weak teams, and in the seventh round, Tokyo FC also ushered in the top team of the league and the dominant team in the J League, Kashima Antlers.
As the leader of the J-League and the leader of the standings for two consecutive years, Kashima Antlers can be said to be the most reluctant opponent of the J-League team. This team is not like Urawa Ruby with a top-notch physicality, nor is it like Gamba Osaka with a fairly good offensive ability, the most annoying thing about this team is their stability.
Kashima Antlers is one of the few teams to use a foreign coach in the J-League, and their strength is not only reflected in the lineup, but also in the tactics: their tactics are very good, they can win with their skills against good students, and they can win with their bodies when they face good skills. Although the ability in any aspect cannot be said to be the top, however, those who are harder than them are not as thin as them, and those who are thinner than them are not as hard as them, and it is by virtue of this way of playing that there is a way to deal with any team, Kashima Antlers have established their hegemony in the league.
In this year's league, they are still maintaining their own style of play, and, unlike the previous two years, which showed enough advantages at the last moment, this year's Kashima Antlers have been leading the standings from the beginning of the league. In the J League, there has never been a team that has won the championship three times in a row, and the record of three consecutive championships is waiting for them to climb.
And the match against them in Tokyo was also unfortunately lost.
Kashima's antlers are indeed much stronger than Tokyo's. Atsushi Uchida, Taiki Iwamasa and other international players, Danilo, Marquis and other foreign players who have played in the Japanese league for a long time, coupled with the command of the Brazilian coach, their abilities are all above Tokyo's IQ, making Tokyo invincible at all. It was another 1-2 and Tokyo lost. The only goal of the game was a penalty made by Shota Hirayama, but a penalty goal could not turn the situation around, and it had little to do with the big picture except for winning him some praise for himself.
"Kashima Antlers won very beautifully in this game and they deserved a win. We could have played better, and the way we played like that, and the responsibility was on me. ”
After the game, Cheng Fuhao faced the loss of a game, and only made a polite play. Everyone can see that defeating Kashima Antlers is very difficult to achieve at the current Tokyo FC.
The opponent's strength is too strong, and this kind of reason for losing is quite normal.
The only thing that makes Tokyo depressed is that after losing to Kashima Antlers, they ushered in another opponent who was not a weaker, but Gamba Osaka.
Gamba Osaka, one of the strongest teams in the league, has had a good season with Gamba Osaka. Because they were eliminated from the AFC Champions League last season, this season's single-line operation has allowed them to put all their strength on the league.
It stands to reason that this is not a good thing for them, but Gamba looks at the mess that Kashiwa Suns, who represented Japan in the AFC Champions League, lost in both the AFC Champions League and the league, and then looks at himself who is obviously stronger, but he can only play in the group stage of the League Cup...... Osaka Gamba was also very angry during this time.
Of course, they will not forget that the culprit who caused this qiē was Liu Da and Gao Shunyao. The level of Liujing is too low, and they can't play with Liujingda, but since Gao Shunyao has transferred to Tokyo FC, they have also sprinkled their anger on Tokyo FC.
In this game, Gamba Osaka tortured Tokyo FC very badly. Lucas and Leandro, two top foreign players, made Tokyo taste defeat again.
In another 0-2 game, Tokyo had already ushered in their fourth defeat in the eighth round, and their ranking also slipped from sixth to tenth. Before the start of the season, they were talking about wanting to finish in the top three of the league, but now it seems unlikely.
However, what no one expected was that the shadow of the team had not yet passed. Just after losing to Gamba Osaka, the team lost to Chiba Ichihara in the next game.
Interestingly, it was Hirayama Sota who caused this defeat. His relapse was the biggest reason for the team's defeat
