86_86638On July 17, after the match between Tokyo FC and Shonan Bima, looking at the 3-0 score on the field, Cheng Fuhao found that he had never been so relaxed as he was now in a month. Since the World Cup, his heart has been hanging in the air, and it has not been considered to have landed until now.

In the World Cup, the Japanese played in the round of 16 and then returned home, which is not a particularly bad result: in addition to the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, the biggest pursuit of Asian teams in the World Cup is to qualify from the group, and if they want to play better, they think too much. Except for a few paranoid media outlets who believe that Japanese football is already at the top level in the world, it is not difficult for the Japanese to accept the results of the round of 16.

Even if it is the round of 16, it will always qualify from the group. Moreover, the Japanese did play in the World Cup, and it was a kind of ability to play beautifully. Their performance has made many players targeted by European teams after the World Cup, which is enough to make the Japanese happy.

It's just that some people are happy and some are sad, and the Japanese media are very happy with the news that someone has transferred to Europe, but Cheng Fuhao, as the coach of the team, is also extremely painful when he looks at the changes in his team in the second half of the season.

The league will start again on July 17, and at the beginning, Tokyo was already facing an unfortunate situation.

After the World Cup, although Yuto Nagatomo still returned to the team to train, his agent has also informed the team that he will go to Italy to play after the start of the second half of the season. He came back to the team just to keep up with his training and to keep himself fit.

Players can develop better and no one can refuse to go to Europe. Moreover, the salaries originally given by European teams are also high, which is a huge incentive for transfers, and Yuto Nagatomo has played well in all four games of the World Cup, so it is natural that he may also go to Europe, and it turned out to be on July 15. The deal was finally negotiated, and Nagatomo was loaned to Cesena by the club. He was able to play in Europe.

Japanese teams generally don't put up many obstacles to players who move to Europe, but instead help players find ways to get to Europe. This time. When the Italians were reluctant to pay too much for a transfer fee, Tokyo offered to loan the player. Of course, the club opted for a loan rather than an outright transfer, and it was clear that he had something to expect: he went to Serie A, not the Bundesliga, where the Japanese frequented, and whether the Japanese would be successful in Serie A was also uncertain. Obviously, the club still wanted to take him back if he didn't play well.

It's a pity that even if he does return. That will have to be half a year later, at least in this half year, Tokyo FC can't count on him. And Cheng Fuhao didn't know that he would not be a coach in Tokyo next season. All he needs to worry about is this half season.

This is undoubtedly a big blow to Tokyo: in the first half of the season, Tokyo's attack has been terrible, and because of Kabore's injury, Tokyo's attack has also had to adjust. After the adjustment, Gao Shunyao became the first point of attack, and Kiyotake Hiroji, who was the main organizer, was due to age and technology. The task was not well accomplished. As the main defender on the left flank, Yuto Nagatomo is not just tasked with defending. There is also a large part of the offensive mission, and now that he is gone, the attack on Tokyo will also be greatly affected.

Moreover, this summer's troubles are not limited to this, just as the new season is approaching, another depressing news has also penetrated the team.

Yohei Kajiyama is injured again, and this time he needs to be out of action for two months.

Yohei Kajiyama is already an old sick man for the team, and he is often injured in the team, not once or twice. This time, his injury was more frustrating: because he had not played for two months, he went on vacation, and during the vacation, he played too crazy, which also caused him to be directly injured in the recovery training after returning to the team.

Tokyo already had a Kabore seriously injured, and now that Yuto Nagatomo is gone, this is already the loss of two main players. With the injury of Yohei Kajiyama, the number of players who could not play normally in Tokyo increased to three at the beginning of the second half of the season, and the strength of the team was already greatly affected. Moreover, Yasuyuki Konno, who has just returned from South Africa recently, has also been unable to enter the state due to the fatigue of the national team competition, which is undoubtedly another big trouble.

A lot of troubles followed, making Cheng Fuhao almost desperate for a while. In the first half of the season, Tokyo only saved 18 points in 12 games, and in the second half of the season, the strength was further weakened, and he was worried that even relegation would be a problem.

If there's anything else to be happy about, it's the fact that many teams have lost their good players at this moment – after the World Cup, many Japanese players have been eyed by Europeans. In addition to Yuto Nagatomo went to Italy, Maya Yoshida went to the Netherlands, Ryo Miyaichi went to England, and as for the players who went to Germany, it was even more, and these players left, maybe the competition in the league will be slightly weakened.

However, this is only an optimistic estimate: because maybe some teams will also bring in reinforcements to strengthen their teams. The club is willing to spend money, and if it is willing to buy one or two good foreign players, these are not a thing. For Asian teams, it is also a very realistic situation that foreign players determine the strength of the team.

Cheng Fuhao also thought about strengthening the team by bringing in reinforcements at this time, but Tokyo rejected his request: the players are worth a lot after the World Cup, and it is very unwise for the team to bring in reinforcements now.

The teams are on the verge of relegation, but the upper echelons are still thinking about saving money. They told Sù Cheng Fuhao that this season only Tokyo is already the farthest team in the AFC Champions League, with such results, they only need to be relegated in the second half of the season, and there is no need to think about anything else for the time being. The efforts of the first half of the season have instead become an excuse for indulgence in the second half of the season, and Cheng Fuhao is helpless against such a management.

In the midst of all the chaos, the only thing that makes people happy is in the transfer boom. Gao Shunyao was left, he was not taken away, and he remained in the team.

Of course. Cheng Fuhao also knows that it is somewhat unkind for him to think so, and being able to go to Europe must be much more accomplished than staying in Japan to play. Gao Shunyao was not able to make it, which was his misfortune. Cheng Fuhao also knew in his heart that he was not able to make it, and eighty percent of it was because he played less in the national team. Add to that the fact that China has not produced any decent strikers before, and at the same time there are no good sponsors. Those scouts were so worried that they wanted to wait and see.

Traveling to Europe is not an easy task, and Japanese football has been in business for many years before paving the way to Europe. Japan itself has been sending people abroad for many years. Whether they played well or badly, they were always allowed to try it, so there were some successful players. Although their results in the national team competition are also average, they are also the top in Asia, and they are recognized to play much better than the Koreans. In addition, Japanese companies are very supportive of sponsoring players to go abroad, and many players bring corporate sponsorship when they go out, and to put it bluntly, companies pay them again, and naturally there are teams willing to take them in. And compared to them. Gao Shunyao does not have these advantages.

China has not produced any particularly good players in Europe in recent years, and even a few outstanding players have occasionally. They also hid and refused to let them transfer, and as a result, many people were delayed. Japan is stronger from generation to generation, and China is not as good as the next generation, so it will also pit Gao Shunyao.

However, his misfortune was a great blessing for the Tokyo team. His strength is pretty good right now. You can also be on your own in Tokyo. Especially in the second half of the season, many good players left the J-League. He might be even more powerful. Besides, Cheng Fuhao doesn't believe that in the boom of a group of players traveling to Europe, Gao Shunyao is not moved, and if he is moved, he will definitely play harder.

And in fact, in the 13th round of the game, it was also true.

On July 17, when the league reopened, Tokyo also welcomed their first opponent, Shonan Bima. This last season's relegation team is still in the league this season, continuing the task of relegation. And for this team, Tokyo in particular will not let go: everyone is a relegation team, so it seems important to beat the opponent.

It's just that since Tokyo is already tasked with relegation, they don't have much advantage over Shonan Bima. Yu Nagatomo is not there, Kabore is not there, Yohei Kajiyama is not there, and even Yasuyuki Konno has been rested because of the rotation, and Tokyo's lineup has been greatly weakened.

But in this game, Gao Shunyao stood up. During the game, he put on a perfect individual show up front. Getting the ball, running, making the ball, shooting, grabbing, counter-tackling, impacting, pinning down – he did what a striker can do.

And this kind of hard work also made him gain a lot - in the game, shortly after the opening, Gao Shunyao took the lead in scoring a long-range shot, and with the same goal as Kiyotake Hongji scored, the score became 2-0, and he also scored another header to expand the score. Three goals ensured their victory, and although Shonan Bima scored a goal, they still could only lose 1-3.

After the game, Gao Shunyao's state also attracted attention: two goals, so that Cheng Fuhao figured out something different from the past: Gao Shunyao scored five goals in the first half of the season, but none of them scored two goals. His technique is quite characteristic, and he is always able to attack the enemy unprepared, but it is difficult to keep pressing in a match.

But in this game, he played a lot different from before. He doesn't seem to be as reckless as he used to be, and he didn't think it when he watched the game, but after watching the video, Cheng Fuhao felt that he had become much smarter.

He no longer blindly conflicts, confrontations, and uses his body to hit opponents by surprise. He seems to have a lot more slippery running and a keen sense of smell in the game, and he seems to be playing with consciousness rather than his body.

This change surprised Cheng Fuhao: a player can rise to play with awareness, which is undoubtedly a huge improvement. It seems that he hasn't seen him for two months, and Gao Shunyao seems to have improved again.

Yuki Nagatomo left, Yohei Kajiyama stopped injured, and Yayuki Konno was not in good shape, but when everyone else was down, Gao Shunyao went upstream. (To be continued).
