People may have doubted Gao Shunyao's goal efficiency at the beginning of the season, but since the start of the second half of the season, there have been fewer and fewer people who doubt his quality. Gao Shunyao's crazy goals for a month have pushed himself to the top of the J-League scorer list, and also made people realize his goalscoring ability. It's no surprise to say he's one of the highest scorers in the J-League.

In 22 rounds, he scored 13 goals in 21 appearances, and this efficiency cannot be said to be bad. Judging from the fact that you can get the top scorer king in about 20 goals in the J League, Gao Shunyao is very likely to compete for the top scorer throne.

It's just that people don't pay much attention to his league goals now because Gao Shunyao has another honor to compete for. It was found that after this round, Gao Shunyao also became a strong contender for the AFC Champions League scorer list with 6 goals in 8 games, and maybe he may also become the final AFC Champions League top scorer.

Compared to the top scorer in the J-League, the top scorer in the AFC Champions League is obviously a more important honor: at least that's what the Japanese media thinks, because Japan's own players have won Japan's top scorer, but never won the top scorer in the AFC Champions League.

In this year's AFC Champions League game, Gao Shunyao's goal numbers did not get many people's attention at first: in the AFC Champions League group stage, because of the obvious gap between strong teams and weak teams, some people often play quite strange goal numbers. Gao Shunyao scored 4 goals in the group stage, which is nothing. And he didn't score in the first round of knockout after the group stage, and naturally no one talked about his goals, but after this round of games. With his brace, it seems that things have changed a lot.

The number of 6 balls. It's a pretty rare achievement for the AFC Champions League. In this year's AFC Champions League, although there is a perverted score of 9 goals scored by Changchun Yatai against the Indonesian team. But there aren't a lot of players who don't make sense and score goals. Six goals is a good result this year, and maybe if it continues, he will become the third Asian player to win the top scorer in the AFC Champions League since the AFC Champions League was restructured in 03.

Although the AFC Champions League is theoretically an Asian league, the AFC Champions League has always been in a somewhat awkward position: because Asian football is relatively backward, it has always been the top scorer in the AFC Champions League. There aren't many Asians. Good foreign aid dominates Asia, this is a very helpless fact, no one can change it.

Before Gao Shunyao, there were only two and a half Asian players who had won the top scorer in the AFC Champions League: one was Hao Haidong in 03, who won the top scorer with 9 goals in 5 games, and his goal efficiency was also the first since the AFC Champions League was restructured, and no one has been able to break his record until now. The other is Thailand's Nantawat, although his team did not even qualify from the group, but relied on the big four against Beijing Guoan. With an efficiency of 9 goals in 6 games, he won the top scorer.

In addition to them, the half top scorer is South Korea's Kim Do-hoon, who in '04 had the same nine goals as Dalian Shideok's Sillyak. Although he has played four more games than Cillak, the AFC Champions League does not have a rule to look at the number of games, and he can be regarded as half of the top scorer.

Asian players compete for the top scorer charts. has always been in such an awkward position. It's hard for them to play against Europeans and Americans with goalscoring efficiency. As long as the AFC Champions League allows the use of foreign players, then foreign players are likely to score more goals than Asians. Since the AFC Champions League, this has been an immutable law. Not only now, but I am afraid that this will continue to be the case for a long time to come.

It is because of this background that an Asian player who can have an excellent performance in the AFC Champions League scorer list can cause a big sensation. Ko Soon-yao has now scored 6 goals, and in the scorer list, he is also second only to Suwon Samsung's Jose. Motta. Considering that it is estimated that after this game, Mota will be eliminated, and for a while, the debate about whether Gao Shunyao can win the top scorer in the AFC Champions League has also heated up.

"If Gao Shunyao plays well in the next games, it is entirely possible for him to get the top scorer in four games. Even given his goalscoring efficiency, it may be possible to break the previous record. Compared with the top scorer of the AFC Champions League, the top scorer of the J League is much less significant, and it is the most correct choice to recharge and prepare for the big game. ”

After Gao Shunyao was replaced in 60 minutes, the Japanese football commentator immediately made such an evaluation of Gao Shun being replaced. And his comments received a lot of support.

In previous AFC Champions League matches, generally speaking, the final top scorer goal figure has been 6-9. Hao Haidong set a record of 9 goals in 03, and some people have tied it, but until 10 years, no one has surpassed it. In this way, Gao Shunyao is now only 3 goals away from the top scorer, that is, three goals in four games, with his goal efficiency during this time, it is indeed possible, maybe he can really get the top scorer.

The Japanese media is quite expectant of this: Japanese football is quite embarrassed when it comes to the honor of top scorer. Gamba Osaka's players once won the honor of top scorer, but unfortunately, it was won by Brazilian foreign players. Koreans, Chinese, and even Thais have all won the top scorer, but Japanese football has not won the top scorer honor. It is also a rather distressing fact that players who have gone out of the J-League have never been able to win the honor of top scorer.

For these strikers in Japan, the Japanese are basically on the verge of giving up. The little smart style of play is very good in the league, and a group of small shadow forwards can run around and play quite pleasing to the eye, but in the AFC Champions League, this style of play can't be eaten. If you can't be physical, you have to avoid people when you run, you can't run well, you have to guard against being robbed when you have the ball, and you can't rush the back line even if you have speed, so a striker may not be able to get the top scorer in a higher level of competition, they know this very well.

And Gao Shunyao, an alternative striker, makes people see some hope. The skills and awareness honed in Japan, coupled with the physical elements that are more than one grade above the Japanese players, Gao Shunyao's strength is completely another grade. Compared to the Japanese players, he has too many advantages to play with the West Asians. Koreans confronted. Since the players in their own country can't get that honor, let a player trained in their own country get the highest honor. It's also a nice thing. Anyway, Gao Shunyao is Asian. Compared to the Brazilian, he is closer to the Japanese players, and he plays well better than the Brazilian in Asia.

And the media also believes that compared with other players, Gao Shunyao has a better chance of winning. Because compared to other players, Tokyo can be said to have a greater advantage.

"In the remaining games, Gao Shunyao has at least two home chances and one away chance. And if they play well enough, they could even have three home games to play. Tokyo's record this year. Arguably the quintessential home dragons, their counter-attacking style of play is well suited to playing at home, and with so many home games, there's no reason why they shouldn't get a top scorer. ”

When it came to the goal figures, the media also helped Tokyo settle the score. It's just that there seems to be something wrong with the way they settle their accounts: if Tokyo wins this round, then all they need to think about is the next semi-final. And once you win the semi-finals and successfully reach the final, then you have to play at a neutral venue. It's not Tokyo's home turf.

However, the media's calculation makes sense: as long as they reach the final, Tokyo will definitely have a big advantage in the final, because of the venue of this year's final. It's set in Tokyo.

It is often said that if a Japanese team reaches the final, it will be considered a home game, but yet. If you really talk about playing at home, it seems that only Tokyo is the main game. Although it is said that their venue is Ajinomote. It is not the Olympics of the decisive battle, but. Tokyo is the city where their team is located, and playing in their city, that's already a big advantage.

As long as they can reach the final, then Tokyo will definitely have home advantage - and with such an incentive, the Japanese media believe that they will play well.

And the media's speculation is not wrong. After the arrival of the AFC Champions League, Tokyo, who played at home, really played very well.

Of course, this brilliance doesn't mean the scoring streak: in fact, after returning to home after a 3-1 away game, Tokyo played a lot more restrained. With the advantage in hand, playing at home, and attacking frantically in this case, it is purely a fanatical attacking enthusiast, and even most of them are sick attacking enthusiasts - even the top attacking football fans like Barcelona have times when they shrink their defense, and Tokyo is just a team wearing a copycat Barcelona jersey, and of course they will choose to be more secure.

It's just that a safe way of playing doesn't mean you can't stick to it. Although Tokyo has always been pressing the rhythm in their home stadium, passing slowly, and it seems that there is no desire to attack at all, but when Suwon Samsung blindly wants to win and falls into an impatient mood, Tokyo's counterattack also came unexpectedly.

Speaking of which, Suwon Samsung is really a team worth admiring, losing so badly at home, and daring to attack away, which is indeed courageous. However, courage and strength cannot be equated, although Suwon Samsung instigated the attack, and Yeom Ki-hoon's breakthrough was also unusually ferocious, but it was precisely because their attack was too fierce and the coordination was not very in place, so that Tokyo got the ball.

Tokyo's counterattack was quite fast, and although Nakamura Hokuto couldn't insert it, his straight plug instigated a counterattack. Back at home in Tokyo, the ground pass was also a lot sharper, and after Hideto Takahashi received the ball, he directly gave the ball to Hiroshi Kiyotake.

When Qingwu Hongji got the ball, Gao Shunyao was still on the left side of the penalty area, and he was still next to Li Weifeng. Seeing his teammate get the ball, he immediately made an arc back and ran to the right. His running made Li Weifeng chase after him, and also made Guo Xizhu catch up, but Gao Shunyao suddenly changed direction at this time, which made Guo Xizhu block Li Weifeng's way to catch up.

At this time, Kiyotake Hiroji's pass also arrived. Gao Shunyao suddenly dribbled the ball and exerted his strength, and while shaking off Guo Xizhu, he shot and kicked the ball towards the goal.

With football in the net, Tokyo's victory can be said to have been finalized. And Gao Shunyao is also a big step away from the top scorer. (To be continued......)
