Section 193 Invitation to Tryout
In the AFC Champions League match in Tokyo, with Gao Shunyao's goal shortly after the opening, there was basically no suspense. After the aggregate score became 4-1, it was impossible for Suwon Samsung to turn the results around, and they also lost this game.
Back at home, Tokyo is obviously even more difficult to deal with, in away games, even if they have goals, they are more likely to rely on wide crosses, one of the three goals is a header, a long-range shot, and the ground cooperation can only be a combination of side and center. However, back at home, they also began to play the middle penetration, and relying on the excellent running, Gao Shunyao once again decided the outcome of the game.
The rhythm of the whole game slowed down after that, and Tokyo, who was fighting at home, chose to shrink the defense without any worries, while Suwon Samsung still wanted to counterattack, but they couldn't raise any spirit, and the counterattack was also weak. It wasn't until near the end that Yeom Ki-hoon broke through again and scored a goal to make the score a 1-1 draw, however, this did not help the overall situation anymore.
With an aggregate score of 4-2, Tokyo advanced to the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, where they eliminated Suwon Samsung and took a big step forward.
"Tokyo's victory was unexpected, and with a slump in the league,1 Tokyo may be able to achieve a brilliant result in the AFC Champions League this year, and maybe it will be a blockbuster and attract the attention of the whole of Asia."
Although it was already recognized by many people that Tokyo had advanced before the game, after the game, "Nikkan Football" was full of praise for Tokyo's victory and entered the semi-finals, and Tokyo has really been a blockbuster this year. As a new team in the AFC Champions League, it is definitely worthy of admiration. On the Korean side, it is difficult to accept the failure of Suwon Samsung. Faced with this situation, they can only put the blame on the coach who has already left the class. In the eyes of Koreans, if it weren't for his teaching, there was no way. With the lineup of Suwon Samsung, it will not be out so early this year.
It's just that the anger of the South Korean media doesn't seem to have affected the players of Suwon Samsung. At least, it didn't affect Li Weifeng. After the game, when Li Weifeng and Gao Shunyao exchanged jerseys, Li Weifeng couldn't see his dissatisfaction.
'You're playing really well, that's how you should be, play well. Let's play abroad. They look down on us, and we have to let them know that we can play. ”
When talking to Gao Shunyao, Li Weifeng strongly encouraged him to play abroad, of course, there are some reasons in his words.
A while ago, Gao Shunyao and Li Weifeng played in the AFC Champions League on behalf of their respective teams, and when they met a Chinese team in the AFC Champions League. The fans of the Chinese Super League have a lot of complaints about both of them. Gao Shunyao is better, after all, the first game he played against Luneng was in Japan, and the one he played in China. Luneng basically lost, and it didn't go too far. In the face of Beijing, it was simply a single decisive victory, and even the country did not return. I didn't meet a few extreme fans.
However, compared to Gao Shunyao. Li Weifeng was far less lucky, as his away game against Beijing in the group stage was a crucial one. At that time, he received a lot of scolding. Not to mention how well he kicked the ball, when he was injured and fell to the ground during the game, Beijing fans would shout the slogan 'bury alive on the spot', which is quite annoying to say.
Domestic fans still have some complaints about playing abroad and eliminating players from their own teams, and it is difficult for many fans to be relieved of this.
Li Datou is also a little resentful about this, Gao Shunyao plays abroad like him, and he naturally feels much closer to Gao Shunyao. After the game, he had a lot of encouragement for Gao Shunyao, also because he believed that when they began to play to the semifinals of the AFC Champions League, especially when Gao Shunyao scored seven goals and began to approach the top scorer, the fans' original dissatisfaction with Gao Shunyao would all turn into praise.
Now he plays on the field, representing not only the Japanese team, but also the Chinese. He won the top scorer in the AFC Champions League, and it was the same Chinese who won the top scorer, and he was still happy.
And Li Datou also thinks that Gao Shunyao can really get that honor, and he himself is honored.
Of course, this is not without difficulty: because Gao Shunyao's other rivals, Jonam-ichi and Tenma's Molina, are now also in the green light. Seongnam, like Tokyo, have reached the semi-finals against Saudi Arabia's Al Shabab, and if they can win, they will also reach the final.
Tokyo, on the other hand, will have to face a West Asian team if they want to play in the final: they have already played against South Korea, China and Australia in the previous match, and this time they will face the West Asian side Ahan Saeki.
Saeki Ahan is an Iranian team, and this opponent is also mixed: it is a joy, it is because Saeki Ahan is not a rich team like Saudi Arabia, although the players are also good, but there is no money to directly let South American players change their nationality, and the personnel strength is not too nonsense. And it's not good to say, because Iran is a country with strong football, even much stronger than South Korean teams, and it is not easy to fight against them.
Japanese football used to say that Koreans played football with high hardness and high level, but Koreans are still yellow, and there is a limit to the hardness, while Iranians are already Caucasian, and they are even more polished on the football field. The strength and hardness of their team are far superior to that of Japan and South Korea, and if you really talk about the level, Iranian football is definitely a football power in Asia.
At the national team level, the Iranians have always been fond of infighting, and if there is no infighting in the ranks of their national team, they are uncomfortable, so they always can't play well, but the club is not the national team, and they are afraid that their club will not have so much infighting, and how to fight against the united Iranians, this is also a problem.
In this regard, Tokyo naturally has to make up for the training. After half a month of hard training, he defeated Suwon Samsung, which made Seong Bok-ho also taste the sweetness, and he also wanted to eliminate the Iranians in this way. It's just that his training camp made Gao Shunyao feel a little painful this time, and after the match with Kashima Antlers, when he had dinner with Li Ze, Gao Shunyao complained a lot about it.
"I really don't know what style of play this Iranian team plays, what kind of style of play, and even these people, I don't know what they do. Look at their list of players, except for Hussein is Ahmed, there are several with such names, and the tactical lessons of the past two days have made my head big. I can't even tell the name, but when I get on the field, I'm not sure how I'm going to play. ”
Gao Shunyao had never met a West Asian team before, and he didn't know the characteristics of the West Asian team. Of course, the most difficult thing is definitely not the names, but when he talks about it with his friends, he only says that.
Li Ze also knew his thoughts, and he just smiled at this, "If it's difficult, it's difficult, if it's not difficult, how can your technology improve?" You've been playing well these days, isn't it because you've improved so fast? Didn't you play well in this game? ”
Li Ze's reasoning was right, but the competition he mentioned made Gao Shunyao a little depressed.
Tokyo played well these days, winning against Kashima Antlers, and after two draws, they also won one game.
This season's Kashima Antlers are inferior to previous seasons, and after most of the season, their results are not to mention ranking first in the rankings, and now they can't even squeeze into the top three. After three consecutive championships, Kashima Antlers is now ushering in an inevitable period of decline, and its strength is not as good as before.
And in the face of such an opponent, Tokyo won easily. A 2-0 match added three points to Tokyo's points.
It's just that for Gao Shunyao, the tragedy of that game was that he still didn't score.
In this game, Gao Shunyao played a little hot. He didn't have chances, but he couldn't turn them into goals.
In the whole game, Tokyo still has an advantage. After Yohei Kajiyama returned, Tokyo's overall attack strengthened a lot, and it also gave Gao Shunyao a few good chances, but a long shot was high over the crossbar, a push into the far corner and missed the post, and when it was obviously a good opportunity, the opponent's defender opened his hands to stop in front of him, he didn't kick the ball to the opponent's hand, and he felt sorry for the opponent for a penalty. And the best good opportunity of the game, a point grab that he was aiming to win, was thrown to the ground directly by the opponent's defender, and it also became a penalty.
The chances were all wasted, either the shot was missed or the penalty was created, and naturally he didn't score. And what's even more tragic is that although Gao Shunyao is now competing for the league's top scorer, he is not the team's first penalty taker - this can't be blamed on Tokyo, Gao Shunyao's own penalty skills are indeed not particularly good, when Li Ze trained him, he didn't want to go to the full practice of set-piece skills, until now, his penalty is not very good on the table, Kashima Antlers is the top team in the league, and Tokyo does not dare to mess around with them, therefore, these two goals are still punished by Naohiro Ishikawa.
Naohiro Ishikawa's penalty shooting skills need no doubt, and the two penalties were not wasted in Tokyo. With two penalties, Tokyo won the victory, but the number of goals scored by Ko Soon-yao still did not increase.
"All in all, it's good to win." Speaking of this, Gao Shunyao can only say this.
His peaceful attitude surprised Li Ze, he stared at Gao Shunyao, and wanted to see what Gao Shunyao thought. Facing his gaze, Gao Shunyao also smiled proudly.
"If you don't score a goal in a game, it's a small thing: I'll tell you a big thing: after playing with Kashima this time, the team talked to me, and they told me that there was a German team, and I contacted them and asked me to go on a trial." (To be continued......)
