Section 116 Chinese Monsters
86_86638 Tokyo FC 1-0 Nagoya Whales, Tokyo FC won their opponent for the first time in this season's battle against strong opponents at the top of the league. A 1-0 victory is not a point to be proud of, but three points are enough to make Tokyo happy.
What's more, this game is more than that. After the game, almost the entire Japanese football media was paying attention to Gao Shunyao, who had the upper hand in the matchup with Maya Yoshida.
In a game, one-on-one confrontation, header battle, defensive interception, in all aspects, Yoshida Maya also lost to Gao Shunyao, such a result was repeatedly mentioned after the game, and it became the focus of everyone's attention for a while.
Gao Shunyao played a very strong level, this time, the opponent is different from the weak teams in Tokyo before, Nagoya Whale Eight top goalkeeper, top defense, but in front of Gao Shunyao, the city gate was lost, and finally made Gao Shunyao famous.
No one thought that a game that was supposed to be a defender to shine turned out to be Gao Shunyao. Ahead of this game, one would have thought it would be a battle for good defenders. People know like this game that the future back line of the Japanese team is really as strong as people expect, and it is as impregnable as the current back line. However, it was in this game that an accident occurred.
Maya Yoshida, who was supposed to show his strength, was directly beaten by Gao Shunyao and almost lost confidence. The battle for the top failed, the steal failed, and in the end, he lost all his confidence, and was eaten by Gao Shunyao by relying on his body, and won a crucial goal. Nagoya Whales lost 3 points, and in the eyes of the media, if it weren't for the Nagoya Whales Ducks goalkeeper who was Japan's top goalkeeper and the national team was selecting Naraki Masatsushi, in this game, Nagoya Whales might have been beaten by Gao Shunyao alone - after all, those few saves were quite eye-catching.
Maya Yoshida's abnormal performance is not the first time in the J League, but even the advantage of being strong has been blown up, which has made many media speechless about him. On the other hand, after this game, after the game, Gao Shunyao suddenly became the focus of attention.
Before this game, many media were worried that Gao Shunyao had snatched the position of Shota Hirayama, leaving the Japanese international players with no problem to play. At that time, in the eyes of many media, Gao Shunyao was just a young man who was arranged by a new coach in order to promote his cronies, he was just lucky, and he met some weak teams, so he played very well.
But after this game, people's minds have changed a lot. It turns out that Gao Shunyao is not a weakling, but a strong striker who is strong enough to defeat Maya Yoshida. Even if it is Hirayama Xiangta, I am afraid that he will not be able to face Yoshida Ma also has such a strong suppression ability, and Gao Shunyao's play has also changed the vane of the media all at once.
When Gao Shunyao didn't play well, emphasize his nationality, and you can describe his affairs as news. After he has played well, he has the level of a star, then his appearance and ability are even more interesting - as a media, what is reported will always be what people care about most, and the rise of a star is obviously more important than a foreigner playing football in Japan.
What's more, after Gao Shunyao's strength was verified, the Japanese media also discovered many of his advantages.
The international student, who made a name for himself in the university league, made a name for himself by beating Gamba and was selected by Tokyo FC, played quite well after entering the J League, and helped Tokyo FC climb from 12th in the league to 5th place in the league, his experience looks unbelievable.
Born at the bottom of the ladder and succeeded through their own efforts, this has always been popular in Japan. Although Gao Shunyao's nationality makes it impossible for him to become everyone's favorite idol, his story can be called a legend, which is enough for the media to hype.
A player from the bottom, step by step, has come to the present, and has also blown up the future core defender of the national team, such a person, if it is a domestic player, it is called an inspirational idol drama, even if it is a foreigner, it is enough to become a miracle in the J League.
What's more, he is still a high school striker.
Japanese soccer has been technologically strong in recent years, which has led to an increasingly diminutive focus on their players. Tall strikers are becoming more and more rare products in Japan, and even if Hirayama Sota is usually messing around, he can be selected for the national team because his body is too good, and Yohei Toyoda, who is only tall, has been crowned with the title of Japanese Drogba. The J League lacks a high school striker, and in this league, even players with only height can be used here as a center forward, and in order to make up for the lack of center forwards, they have to go to South Korea, Brazil, and even Australia to bring in tall players. The appearance of a high striker under his own league system also made the Japanese media happy.
Such players are an extremely rare species in Japan. At a time when Japan's high school strikers are almost extinct, the rise of a high school striker from the bottom is also legendary.
Japan has had enough Koreans to make a name for themselves, not a single Chinese. However, Japan has not had a high school striker for a long time, and talented high school strikers are even rarer in comparison.
All of this made Gao Shu famous overnight, as if he was the target of media accusations before the game, and after the game, he had become a star admired by the media.
"Gao Shunyao is one of the players with the greatest potential in this league, this Chinese monster, should have been taken into a photo and put on the cover of the magazine, with his tough face and strong figure, it became a reason for female fans to buy magazines, but all along, it has been ignored by us - Lao Gao, do you hear? You can now promote magazines. β
The media magazine is now full of various evaluations of Gao Shunyao, and these evaluations, Li Ze saw some interesting things, and he would also use them to ridicule Gao Shunyao.
"What does a Chinese monster mean? Is there a new type of discrimination? β
Listening to Li Ze reading the newspaper, Gao Shunyao was also a little dissatisfied, he didn't know why he was called a monster in the media, but this word didn't look like a good word no matter how he looked at it.
"No, no, it's not discrimination, on the contrary, it's some kind of honorific title on Cheng dΓΉ." In this regard, Li Ze just waved his hand, "The media gave you a nickname because your strength has been recognized by the media now." In your game, Maya Yoshida, who has been crushed, staggered, and even he couldn't withstand your impact, so the media now unanimously determined that your physical level is extremely strong, so I gave you the nickname of a Chinese monster. This nickname is to describe you as strong as a monster, which is a good thing. β
Is this a good thing? Gao Shunyao never thought that monster was a good word, but this name may already be considered good.
Since Gao Shunyao watched football, he has seen many players with their own nicknames. Some of these nicknames are quite domineering, while others are not so good-sounding. His nickname is called Chinese Monster, which is naturally inferior to some particularly domineering nicknames, but it is much better than some more ugly nicknames. Playing at Tokyo FC, with the habit of being called the gas team at Tokyo FC, it's good that I wasn't called a double egg gas.
"Since it's called a monster, why do you have to add a Chinese ......" While he was delighted, he was still a little dissatisfied - this prefix was added inexplicably, and he felt awkward when he looked at it.
"Because there is another monster in the Tokyo team - Hirayama Sota is the person who is called a monster by the Japanese media, and you are now taking his place, so when you appear again, you will naturally become a Chinese monster."
Li Ze explained to Gao Shunyao, but he immediately found that when Gao Shunyao heard this, he did not suddenly realize, on the contrary, he frowned a little.
"So, in the eyes of the media, I'm just a substitute for Shota Hirayama?"
"It's already good, and in the eyes of the Japanese, it's already a boast." Li Ze shrugged, he knew that this kind of title was good in the eyes of the Japanese themselves.
In Japanese football, seniority has always been a place where seniority speaks, and the length of time a player plays is directly related to their status in the team. The title of seniors and juniors is not just a polite word in Japanese football, this title represents status.
And a junior player, who has just debuted, is compared to a senior player, if he is replaced by an ordinary player, this is definitely a very proud thing.
In particular, Shota Hirayama is not an ordinary player, he is a player who has been successful in Europe in the past. Moreover, he is much older than Gao Shunyao, and he can even be regarded as two generations in the football world. For a player who has just played in the top league for a year, shouldn't it be nice to be compared to such a senior?
If a Japanese player has just made his debut and has only played a few games in the J-League and is compared by the media to a player with successful experience in Europe, then this Japanese player will definitely be very happy. Especially if they are still on the same team, if the players are smart, then they should immediately pester that senior to ask questions, learn from him, and work in his direction.
This kind of development is the way the Japanese should be. But now it seems that this principle does not apply to Gao Shunyao. Obviously, Gao Shunyao's ambition is definitely not just to be the second Hirayama Xiangtai. Since Hirayama Sota himself gave up European football to live a more comfortable life and returned to China, it is impossible for him to be respected by Gao Shunyao, and Gao Shunyao's temper will not have any concealment, his temperament has always been exposed.
Gao Shunyao's stubborn temper that makes people quite a headache, Li Ze has never thought it is a bad thing, this kind of toughness and persistence that is different from others has made him where he is today, and also made Li Ze have some ideas: Perhaps, he should encourage him to follow his own path.
"Lao Gao, the media said these things because they knew Hirayama Sota first, and then they met you, so you are called a Chinese monster, if you are older than him, maybe, he is a Japanese monster." Li Ze opened his mouth with a slight smile, "If the media says, you don't need to worry about it." They don't even know what they're saying. It's stupid to compare you with Pingshan, not to mention anything else, do you look at the team you pay attention to after you become famous, and the team that pays too much attention to Pingshan, is it a level team? β
Focus on a new star, in addition to the media, of course, there are other teams. After Gao Shunyao became famous, many teams also stared at him, and looking at those names is enough to know what Gao Shunyao's future holds
