Maybe it's really because the idea of wanting to go to Europe has become the motivation, and Gao Shunyao played quite well in the next games. After the victory over the Niigata Swans, Tokyo also managed to win 2-0 against Yamagata Yamagami.

In the game, Gao Shunyao scored another goal, and at the same time, he also forced a handball in the penalty area to create a penalty for the team, and he still maintained his excellent performance.

And, the happiest thing is that this time, his goal is no longer a sudden shot, nor is it a header, in the game, he rushed the ball to the opponent's penalty area, and after getting rid of the opponent with a change of direction, he shot a shot into the far corner in the run.

Such a goal, Gao Shunyao was difficult to play at the beginning of the season, and after half a season of hard work, his shooting skills are also further increasing.

After this goal, Gao Shunyao's goal number also climbed to 10 goals, and after 16 games, his goal number has reached 10, which is already very high for the J League, a league where top players generally only have 20 goals. And counting his goals at the end of the first half of the season, he has scored in seven consecutive games, which is even more incredible.

Seven goals in a row, which is definitely a record for the season. Last season, Lee Geun-ho's four consecutive goals made people talk, and Ko Soon-yao's performance at this time was even more eye-catching. People are also talking at this time whether Gao Shunyao will be able to continue his goalscoring feat.

People are watching his goal because of his goal. It's bringing victory to the team. At the end of the first half of the season, Tokyo had accumulated 18 points from 12 games. And now, 16 rounds have passed. They have improved their match score to 28 points. At one time, people thought that their task this season was to avoid relegation, but now it seems that they have a good chance of completing their league tasks ahead of schedule.

16 rounds, 28 points, this result is not particularly good, less than 30 points halfway through the season, if in a year like last year, when everyone will be good, such a result will not even squeeze into the top four. But. Everyone has seen what Tokyo's start to the year has been like, with injuries to key strikers, transfers of mid-gamers, and the fact that they are the only team in the J-League that is now qualified to say that they are playing on two fronts, and that they are still able to score nearly 30 points at the halfway point of the season, which is already very good.

When Gamba Osaka won the championship, they were also in the middle of the league, and the lineup of Gamba that year was much better than that of Tokyo this year. That's pretty amazing, too.

Although Gao Shunyao is also a foreign aid, he is very different from other foreign aids, he is a player trained by the Japanese league, after all, he is different from those players imported from Brazil. Japanese football in the league. Good players from other countries, whether Park Ji-sung or Hulk, are considered by the Japanese to be the pride of their football. And Gao Shunyao is now playing unstoppable. In the eyes of the Japanese media, it is also something to be proud of.

After the World Cup, many players have successfully stayed abroad. It seems that Gao Shunyao should be next. It's just that. I don't know what kind of feat he can create before he leaves.

The media's attention to him has increased a lot. Unfortunately, however, the momentum of Ko's goal did not continue as one might think, and in the face of Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Ko Shunyao was once again unable to find the back of the net. After scoring in five consecutive games, Gao Shunyao did not continue to be magical, and in the 17th round, Tokyo FC was also defeated by Sanfrecce Hiroshima 2-0, and the time when the score rose to 30 was postponed again.

This is the first time Tokyo has lost since the start of the second half of the season, and this time the loss is also due to the fact that the opponents they met were much better than the opponents in front of them. Sanfrecce Hiroshima is a team that contenders for the top three in the league every year, and their strength has always been quite stable, and they are also among the best in the entire league. After the game against Tokyo, they began to constantly put pressure on Tokyo's midfield, which also made the Tokyo midfield lose its defense, and there were few opportunities in the whole game, and finally led to a loss.

Tokyo's midfield still has a lot of problems. Yohei Kajiyama was injured and could not successfully attack on the wing, and they were prone to such a problem of lack of ammunition supply in the game.

And this time, Sanfrecce Hiroshima seized on this issue and put pressure on the midfield, which also made Tokyo unbearable. After two consecutive wins, Tokyo finally lost the ball.

And this loss also has a great impact on Tokyo, when people see that Tokyo's strength is not as strong as they imagined, these teams are also adjusting their playing style. Gao Shunyao is indeed a difficult guy to deal with, but the other players in Tokyo seem to have a lot of good breakthrough points.

No matter how well a striker plays, he can't lead a group of underdogs to win constantly, and everyone understands this truth, but when they really see such a thing happening, people will have more emotion: in the eighteenth round, after Tokyo FC lost the game again, people also found that the situation in Tokyo may not be as good as people think.

Although Gao Shunyao is playing better and better now, Tokyo's midfield does still have problems, and they really can't resist if they add some pressure - they are already missing a main midfielder and a main defender, and because of the intensive games at this stage, Yasuyuki Konno has been unable to find his form for a long time, Tokyo's defense seems to have lost the advantage of the first half of the season, and the game with them is, if the pressure is enough to play, they still can't fight.

And soon, someone validated the idea.

This time, Tokyo will face Yokohama Marinos, and they will play differently than the last one. The midfielders of the Yokohama Marinos were not very good, and their match against Tokyo was an ugly game of two teams facing each other. And it turned out that in the face of the opponent's shrinkage and dense way across the board, it was also very difficult for Gao Shunyao to break the goal, although he still made a lot of attempts in the game. However, good luck was not on his side this time.

It's obvious. This time it was Yokohama who received good fortune – in the game, Shunsuke Nakamura set up two free-kicks for his team-mate. They all played extremely beautifully, helped Yokohama win the game, and had to make Tokyo sigh.

Shunsuke Nakamura's free kick is indeed a big killer level thing. In the first half of the season, Tokyo didn't drop points on his free-kicks because he didn't get along with the team, but once he did, he was able to release his energy.

Winning streak and losing streak are really irritating enough to play like this. One loss is not strong enough in midfield, and one loss is too good at the opponent's free kick. Tokyo's two defeats were not particularly convincing.

Fortunately, the losing streak did not last, and on August 21, Tokyo won the match against Urawa Ruby.

Urawa Ruby has been a team with too much salary and can't make ends meet since last season, in order to save money. They even had to sell their top player, Tanaka Hatsa King, to Nagoya Whales. Their members are generally older, which also makes it difficult to guarantee the strength of this team. At the start of the season, they can use their experience to beat a lot of teams, including Tokyo. And halfway through the season, especially in the big year, their body can't keep up.

Face an opponent who is not physically adequate. Gao Shunyao's performance is naturally better again. After realizing that the other party is older and the body is not good. Gao Shunyao deliberately made a number of round-trip impacts from the beginning of the race, under his running. Urawa players' bodies were also extremely depleted, which also made Urawa have to choose to shrink the defense after 70 minutes. It's not that they didn't think of stopping Gao Shunyao, but Gao Shunyao is not so easy to stop now.

In the penalty area, after Gao Shunyao received a high ball, he unloaded the ball with his head, and then shot directly at the goal with a beautiful turn, breaking the opponent's door. From relying on his body to catch the ball, and then relying on his consciousness to judge that the opponent's defense line is not stable enough, and finally turned around and shot, Gao Shunyao's shot reflected his level to the fullest, and Urawa Ruby couldn't stop him at all.

In a 1-0 game, Tokyo won again. And with this victory, the dawn of this intensive schedule has finally appeared in front of Tokyo.

After this game, their next opponent is Osaka Sakura. This promoted horse team, played quite well in the first half of this season, and even ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the league, but with the second half of the season, after the transfer of players, their results also plummeted: even if Tokyo went to Nagatomo Yuto, but Gao Shunyao held up the banner, and the team's results were still okay, while Osaka Sakura lost Shinji Kagawa, and the results were greatly affected.

This team was originally famous for its attack, but after losing a super midfielder who scored 8 goals in 12 games, their overall strength can be said to have a huge decline. In this against Tokyo, they did not show any strength to resist at all, although their core player Qian Guishi scored a goal, but the backfield of Osaka Sakura was almost disturbed by Gao Shunyao alone.

This team became the second league team after Shonan Bima to be scored twice by Ko Soon-yao in a single game. Soon after the start of the game, Gao Shunyao entered the penalty area after successfully grabbing a point in the ribs of the penalty area, turning a single chance into a shot, and in the second half, Osaka Sakura tried to counterattack and really succeeded in scoring a goal, Gao Shunyao used a header in a sports battle to grab the goal and tell them who is stronger.

2-1, Tokyo got another victory. And after this race, a month of intensive racing has passed. With 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats, Tokyo got 16 points in these 8 games, turning their points into 34 points, and also made their desire for relegation almost achieved in advance.

At this time, Gao Shunyao also accumulated his league goal figure to 13 - since the beginning of the second half of the season, eight goals in eight games, Gao Shunyao's goal efficiency has made a qualitative leap. The current Tokyo may not be a strong team, but Gao Shunyao is a veritable striker.

Cheng Fuhao is also quite satisfied with this score, but after looking at his score, he inevitably moved a little other careful thinking: Perhaps, in the next AFC Champions League game, Tokyo may not be without a fight. (To be continued......)
