When the news of Tokyo's loss to Saeki Ahan reached Japan, it immediately caused a lot of discussion, although people know that Tokyo will definitely not have a good chance of facing West Asian teams, but looking at the news of Tokyo's victory in the previous rounds, Japan is also full of hope for them, and their loss is difficult for many people to accept.

Of course, it's not just them who are hard to accept, but the Tokyo team themselves are even more difficult to accept. Compared to the league loss, the cup loss is the most intolerable for Tokyo now. In the away game against Saeki Han, Tokyo lost the game, which is the biggest regret.

The football was lost, the media and the Tokyo team themselves were looking for the problem of this match, and for the Japanese football world, this game pulled everyone's attention.

In this game, Tokyo's preparation can be said to be very sufficient: in order to allow the players to get enough rest, Bruno was rotated, and Yohei Kajiyama also played in these games, those who should have rested were rested, and those who needed to find their form were given playing time, and Tokyo's preparation can be said to be very sufficient.

However, no matter how well prepared you are, there are times when reality can change very quickly.

In the match with Saeki Ahan, Tokyo can be said to be a disadvantage. Tokyo has never played in West Asia, but suddenly played in a foreign country, the weather and environment are completely different, and the excessive enthusiasm of the Iranian fans has also caused Tokyo to have a big problem, and they have played hard from the beginning of the game.

Less than five minutes into the opening period, Saeki and Han seized a chance. They took advantage of a quick drop from Bruno to hit a behind-the-back ball. If it weren't for their strikers starting too early to be offside. Almost from the start, Tokyo was already lagging behind.

This game. Tokyo has been out of shape since the beginning. And the most troublesome thing is that the opening is less than 20 minutes. Bruno, who was specially rested for this game and was specially preparing to play in the cup, was injured.

Bruno is 32 years old this year, and many times he can't stand too high-level competition. It's okay to run around the pitch against the South Koreans, but against the Iranians, his injury concerns are exposed. Iran's ability to fight is really strong, and their rhythm and confrontation in the game are always beyond the imagination of the Tokyo players. On the pitch, Bruno has struggled to cope with them. And after a collision with his opponent, he injured his thigh. Although after the collision, he still barely managed to support the kick for a minute, but he limped when he walked, and he couldn't kick anymore.

After 20 minutes of the game, Tokyo had to make adjustments.

His injury was a turning point in the game. Since he came off injured, it has been difficult for Tokyo to win games.

On the one hand, of course, it is a matter of the strength of the team: the duo of Masato Morishige and Yasuyuki Konno is not bad. However, they cannot defend a large area with limited physical elements, and when they are on the field together, they can only choose to shrink. And playing away from home, it is a tight contraction. That almost meant that Tokyo's counterattack would not be played at all.

A team that can't play back will naturally not be able to win. No matter how high Gao Shunyao's level is, it is in vain if no one passes the ball. His own backcourt is huddled in a ball. He couldn't have beaten half of the pitch with the ball himself – if he had that kind of skill, it wouldn't have been Schalke. It's Real Madrid or Barcelona.

In the game, he also tried to get the ball a few times and then quickly counterattacked. Unfortunately, because the back line was too tight, he was too far back on the ball, and his teammates couldn't keep up, so it was difficult for him to fight back. Moreover, the hardness of the Iranians' original football is really good, if it is against the Japanese team, Gao Shunyao can also try to run rampage, but in the face of them, he can't crush it, basically there is no good way to break through.

Gao Shunyao's performance is not bad, but this game will definitely not be won by relying on his normal performance. And it's a pity that Gao Shunyao is not able to play against the sky in every game, at least this one, he was also affected by the factors of the away game, and he didn't play against the sky at all.

The lack of strength made it impossible for Tokyo to win.

On the other hand, Cheng Fuhao is also a rookie coach after all. Although he also has a variety of tactics in the game, and when the team is playing well, he also knows how to adjust to allow the team to expand its advantage, but in the face of unexpected situations, he still lacks sufficient countermeasures. After Bruno went down, Tokyo's tactics did not make much adjustments, which also made Tokyo extremely passive.

If the problems of the players led to the team's inability to win, then the coach's poor adjustment was the biggest factor in Tokyo's defeat.

Playing away from home, getting injured unexpectedly, having no players against the sky, and having no coaches, it would be strange if Tokyo could still win.

Tokyo kicked like this, and Saeki and Han naturally won't be polite. They never stopped attacking during the game. In the first half, the two teams were still at a stalemate, but after the second half, the physical advantage of the Iranian players became more and more obvious, and the back line of Tokyo began to shrink, and they played more and more difficult.

The team with good physical strength may not have much advantage at the beginning of the game, but as the game progresses and the physical consumption increases, they naturally have an advantage. Tokyo was originally playing away from home, and they were not in good shape, and in the face of the continuous attrition of the body, they also began to make mistakes.

After 70 minutes, the game finally saw a goal. In a corner, Iranian defender Talebi headed the ball to his team-mate, and midfielder Castro fired a close-to-ground shot through the chaotic crowd in the box and into the net for Saeki Ahan.

His goal wasn't pretty, neither tricky nor quick. However, the fact that such goals can be scored is even more reflective of Tokyo's declining willpower. And this goal is not the end of Tokyo's bad luck. After Castro's goal, Ahan's attack became more ferocious. A home goal is nothing and they want to continue to extend the scoreline.

For the next game, for almost the entire 20 minutes, they were attacking the goal. Tokyo's poor change of formation made them play quite insolently, and finally, in the first minute of stoppage time, Saeki Han scored another goal. After a couple of successive passes, their striker Kairi burst into flames, shook off his guard Yasuyuki Konno and fired a quick shot into the near corner, the icing on the cake for a goal that sealed the win for Saeki Han.

2-0 at home, Saeki Ahan got the win. For Tokyo, it was also their first defeat since the knockout round.

The situation they were facing suddenly became severe, and how to win became a big problem for them.

Of course, in their own opinion, this is their big problem, and in the eyes of the media, it is even a big problem in Japanese football.

After the game, many Japanese media gave Tokyo ideas, and some people gave Cheng Fukuhao advice, telling him how Tokyo should change the formation in order to win the next round of the game. Some people also jumped out to teach Gao Shunyao, telling him how to kick to be able to score. There are also people who are looking for weaknesses in Saeki Han's game and are also studying how to treat them.

Tokyo's match in the AFC Champions League can be said to be the last face of Japanese football, and their loss seems to affect the whole of Japan in Tokyo. Everyone wants Tokyo to win.

If at this moment, people just want Tokyo to win, and keep giving Tokyo advice, it can be considered very warm, but unfortunately, many times, some people say good things, and some people say bad things. After losing this game in Tokyo, there was also some media commentary, which was quite poor.

"Hiroshi Jofuku is Tokyo's biggest shortcoming. His lack of adaptability was the biggest reason for Tokyo's loss. From the start of the season when Tokyo lost a chance in the league due to the loss of Kabore, we knew that Jofukuhiro is still a certain distance away from a talented coach. ”

"Tokyo is the last hope for Japanese football, they should have played better. Especially Gao Shunyao, such a table is not enough to play football in Europe. The Iranians are much worse than the Germans, even the Iranians can't win, how can they play well in Germany? ”

These comments from the media are also surging at this time, and the voices accusing Tokyo of playing badly have never stopped. Cheng Fuhao was blamed, Gao Shunyao was blamed, the whole Tokyo team couldn't get rid of the blame, and the media seemed to have the foresight to put forward various opinions on Tokyo.

All of a sudden, good comments and bad comments seemed to sweep over Tokyo.

These news all made Gao Shunyao very irritable. He was in a bad mood when he lost, and the media always talked a lot of, which made him even more annoying. These guys don't have a backache when they talk at all, a bunch of nonsense, but it doesn't help.

In contrast, it was Cheng Fuhao's words that had a slight effect.

"We don't need to care about the media, we just need to know where our problems are. We didn't play well this game and I have the most responsibility, so there's no escaping that, but it's too early to blame us. ”

Cheng Fuhao is still a good person, after the game, although Tokyo did not say anything to the outside world, but in the team, Cheng Fuhao still has the courage to admit his mistakes, and during training, he also admitted that he did have a problem with improper command. It's just that, in his opinion, it's too early to be busy looking for the person responsible.

'We've got one game left and the next one is the end of the game before we can determine if we really deserve to be eliminated. 2-0 away, we did lose a bit big, but it wasn't hopeless. We've always played well at home this season and we've never lost in the AFC Champions League at home. As long as this game is a game and we need to go back to home to decide the winner, we still have 90 minutes to go. The game is not over yet, who says we can't create a zào miracle in the rest of the time? (To be continued......)
