Ringer helped Tokyo FC win 3-0 away at Vissel Kobe, and through this game, he further established himself as a well-known star in the J-League.

After the game, Ringer received an unexpected interview.

"Hello Ringer, I'm a reporter from Xinlang Sports, can I interview you?" spoke Chinese, and still wore a press card from Xinlang Sports around his neck.

"Yes, but I don't have much time, and we have to rush back to Tokyo today." Ringer didn't expect that Chinese reporters would come to Japan to interview him so soon, and it seems that the best team of the AFC Champions League has played an effect.

"At present, many fans in the domestic online media are very curious about you, can you tell us how you played professional football from Japan?"

"Am I famous on the domestic Internet?" Ringer calculated, even if today's game is included, he has only played three games in total, and even in Japan, he is only a little famous, and he is still far from the fire.

"There hasn't been much coverage of you in the mainstream media, but there is a lot of news about you on the Internet, and the introduction of you in these messages is very simple, you came to Japan to go to university, and then you accidentally entered the J-League to play professional football, and then you became famous, can you tell us more about your experience?"

"When I was in China, I was actually like most children, I studied seriously, but other than that, I liked to play football, and I was on the school football team in junior high school and high school, but at that time I played goalkeeper. When I was in high school, I was attracted to the University of Tokyo, and after consulting with my family, I came to Japan and was admitted to the University of Tokyo. Japan has a very good campus football culture, I joined the school football team at the University of Tokyo, and when I was a sophomore, our school team happened to be short of full-backs, so I took the initiative to apply to the coach for the full-back position, and in a warm-up game, my current agent took a fancy to me, and at his suggestion, I started to play as a striker, and since then I have embarked on the road of professional football. Ringer thought about it and made some simple touch-ups about his experience.

"In the next round of the AFC Champions League, Tokyo FC will challenge Beijing Guoan away, will you play?"

"It's up to Coach Bobovic and I'll follow the coach's instructions."

"Who do you think will make it out of the group between Tokyo FC and Beijing Guoan?"

"We've only played two games in the group stage so it's hard to know who will qualify in the end, but at the moment we have the advantage."

After three rounds in the J-League, Tokyo FC, which is not favorites, has won three consecutive games and is currently in second place in the standings, behind Vegalta Sendai by only one goal difference, which is unexpected by many.

After the match against Vissel Kobe, Tokyo FC can have a week off. FC Tokyo's next fixture is the fourth round of the league in a week's time, with FC hosting Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

At this time, in the head coach's office of Tokyo FC, head coach Bobovic, assistant coach Shin Watanabe, and the team's three forwards, Ringer, Lucas and Chima Watanabe, were all there.

Bobovic said: "At the moment we have good results on two fronts, but according to the club's arrangement, we still have priorities, the AFC Champions League is always the most important, followed by the league, and then the domestic cups. ”

"At the moment we have a good record in the AFC Champions League, the chances of qualifying from the group are not small, but the next two rounds are also very important, if you accidentally suffer two consecutive defeats, it will be very difficult to qualify, I plan to have Lin rest in the league at the weekend, Lucas starts, Watanabe is on the bench, and when we go to China in the middle of next week, Lin and Watanabe will start together."

"You don't need to worry about your chances of playing, we have to play in the league and the AFC Champions League in the first half of the season, even if the AFC Champions League is eliminated in the second half of the season, then the domestic cup competition will also start, and all three of you can have enough chances to play, so I hope you can compete healthily and don't spoil the atmosphere in the team because of the problem of playing opportunities."

Bobovic breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the trio go out, and he gathered the trio together just to say the last word, letting them know that they would have enough opportunities to play, and not to affect the team's results because of the competition for opportunities.

The recent rise of Ringer will certainly make Lucas and Watanabe nervous, Lucas is a veteran who is close to retirement, maybe it doesn't matter, Watanabe is the best age of his career, he will definitely be nervous about his chances of playing, if this tension is controlled within a certain range, it will be beneficial to the team, such as the last league game, Ringer started for the first time with a pass and a shot, and then Watanabe came off the bench to play hard and scored a goal in stoppage time.

All Bobovic has to do is keep this atmosphere of healthy competition alive and keep the team's dressing room in check.

The J-League has two domestic cup competitions, one is the Japan League Cup and the other is the Japanese Emperor's Cup. The Emperor's Cup will start in the second half of the season, and the League Cup will start in the first half of the season, but Tokyo FC will not participate in it for the time being. The League Cup format is played by 18 J-League teams, but the four teams that participate in the AFC Champions League each season have byes in the first half of the season, and the 14 teams that do not participate in the AFC Champions League in the first half of the season are divided into two groups for a group round-robin, with the top two teams in each group qualifying, and then the four teams participating in the AFC Champions League are drawn for the knockout round in the second half of the season. FC Tokyo is one of the AFC Champions League teams this season, and the League Cup will not be played until the quarterfinals in the second half of the season.

According to Bobovic's idea, in the first half of the season, the league and the AFC Champions League will go hand in hand, but no one knows how far the AFC Champions League can go. In the second half of the season, if the AFC Champions League can continue to move forward after entering the knockout round, then the domestic cup can also be abandoned, and if the AFC Champions League is eliminated early, then focus on the league and domestic cup.

Of course, the Emperor's Cup is heavier than the League Cup, because the winner of the Emperor's Cup can go to the AFC Champions League, but the League Cup cannot.

This is also something that can't be helped, the Tokyo FC team is basically a set of main lineups to play the world, forwards, midfielders, and defenders, basically there are only one or two substitutes that can be used in each line, and Bobovic can only watch the dishes.

On March 31, in the fourth round of the J-League, Tokyo FC hosted Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

The name of the team is based on the story of the three arrows in Mori Moto, which means unity. During the Warring States period of Japan, there was a big name called Mori Moto, and his three sons were often at odds, so one day Mori Mototo called the three sons to the front, and took out three arrows for them to break, and the three sons did it easily, and then Mori Moto took out three arrows and let them fold together, and this time no one broke constantly, and since then, the three sons of Mori Motoyo have united and continued the glory of the Mori family. This is the story of the three arrows of the Mori Moto, from which the name of the Three Arrows of Hiroshima is derived.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima has had a good record this season, with two wins in the first three rounds, and the victory is still against the two J-League giants Urawa Red Diamonds and Kashima Antlers, so although Tokyo FC is playing at home, it may not be able to win, not to mention that the team has to stay for the AFC Champions League, plus Hasegawa, the core of the team's midfield, has been banned.

Bobovic's idea was to try to get a point at home, but unfortunately it backfired, and in the second half, Toshito Sato of Sanfrecce Hiroshima scored a goal, and finally Tokyo FC lost 0:1 at home to Sanfrecce Hiroshima, and the three-game winning streak in the league was ended.

"Lost at home, the Gas' six-game unbeaten streak in all competitions was ended"

"Preparing for the AFC Champions League, Tokyo Big Rotation Loses to Hiroshima"

FC Tokyo didn't get much blame for the loss, as it was to abandon the league for the AFC Champions League, as even the J-League giants often do.

After losing the game, the whole Tokyo team had no time to be discouraged and immediately had to board a plane to Beijing, China.
