Early the next morning, Ringer returned to Tokyo with the team to prepare for the weekend away against Kawasaki Frontale.

After Ringer's departure, the results of Tokyo FC's away Guoan also began to be reported on a large scale.

"Guoan was forced to draw at home, and there is little hope of qualifying from the group"

"The 'Anti-Japanese' War has been winless for three times, and the Chinese Super League teams are collectively in a downturn"

"China's rising star shining in the J-League, the future leader of Chinese football? 》

"Dare to ask where the road is, European coaches talk about Chinese football"

The theme of this round and the next round of the AFC Champions League is the confrontation between China and Japan, the Chinese Super League teams and the Japanese J League teams fight each other, Beijing Guoan and Tokyo FC, Guangzhou Evergrande and Bai Sun God, Tianjin TEDA and Nagoya Whale Eight, if Liaodong Hongyun did not withdraw from the AFC Champions League and successfully passed the qualifying round, it is likely that there will be a group of Liaodong Hongyun and Osaka Gamba, which is also a gimmick deliberately made by the AFC, China and Japan have always been the main source of AFC Champions League broadcast ratings.

In the third round of the AFC Champions League, after the first round of the Sino-Japanese confrontation, Guoan was forced to draw 1:1 by Tokyo FC at home, TEDA lost 0:3 to Nagoya Whales at home, and Evergrande 0:0 Pingbai Sun God away.

The results of the other two teams in Group F in this round, Ulsan Hyundai drew 1:1 with Brisbane Roar at home, and the points in Group F are Ulsan Hyundai and Tokyo FC with one win and two draws with 5 points, and Beijing Guoan and Brisbane Roar with 2 points.

Back in Tokyo, Ringer quickly met with Krot and told him about the transfer rumors.

"I know, you don't want to go back to China to play, and I don't actually recommend that you go back, even if you go back now and get a good salary, but your goal is Europe. In Japan, clubs think that it is an honor for the players they have produced to be valued by European teams, and they do not put up barriers to transfer, but in China, as I understand it, a good player wants to transfer to Europe, according to you Chinese, it takes 99 tribulations. ”

"Alright, Thomas, that's ninety-nine-eighty-one."

"Well, it's just difficult. Don't worry, I'll talk to the club about the transfer, and FC Tokyo doesn't want to let you go, but they have to give you a raise, and you're doing the most important job with the lowest salary in the team, which is the norm in Japan, but it's still too much. ”

Hearing Krott say this, Ringer suddenly thought of something and said: "Thomas, don't forget to add liquidated damages to the contract, although Japanese teams are willing to send their players to Europe, but that is always for their own Japanese players, so we need to add liquidated damages just in case." ”

"Don't worry, I won't forget such an important thing."

On the training ground of Tokyo FC, the day's training has ended, and the players are leaving one after another.

"Lin, aren't you leaving?"

"I'm going to stay and practice, Hasegawa."

The players were almost gone, and Ringer began his own practice, juggling practice, dribbling practice, shooting practice, in short, everything with the ball.

In the past, Ringer has not been very attentive to practice, he thought that with the promotion function of cheating glasses, he can continue to improve himself, as long as the practice reaches a normal level, but recently he found that this is not the case, his potential value reached 90% a month ago, but now a month has passed, it is only 96%, if it continues to develop at this rate, Ringer thinks that the level of his life is what it is now, playing a main force in a league at the level of the J League, that's all.

Ringer felt that he should have hit a bottleneck, his current body value was 59, and this 59 should be an important key point to raise to 60, so he was stuck here, and Ringer needed to practice to help improve.

Bang~

+0.1% to potential value

With another shot into the top left corner of the net, and with the prospect of increasing potential, Ringer needed to sit down and rest.

With sweat dripping from his forehead, Ringer turned on the inner vision function.

Nothing has changed, except that the potential value has increased to 97%.

"The extra practice does have an effect, and it seems that we need to strengthen the practice." Ringer thought to himself.

On April 8, in the fifth round of the J League, Tokyo FC went to challenge Kawasaki Frontale away.

Kawasaki Frontale is located in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture (in Japan, as in the United States, the prefecture is more administrative than the city level), adjacent to Tokyo, not far away.

Kawasaki Frontale is also a J-League powerhouse, and although they have never won the league title, they have often finished in the top three in recent years, and are currently in the top three after four league games, with two wins and one draw and seven points, which is not an easy opponent for Tokyo FC.

Ringer was once again qualified to start the game, but he was joined by Brazilian Lucas.

Tokyo FC has confirmed that Kenichi Kaga will be out for about two months due to an injury to their main central defender Kenichi Kaga in the match against Guoan, and now they can only start 20-year-old South Korean defender Jang so-hyun. Defenders are not like strikers, strikers only need to seize one in many opportunities, but defenders are different, defenders are a position that requires a lot of experience, they require every defense can not make mistakes, maybe a mistake will cause the team to lose, so it is common to see sixteen or seventeen-year-old main strikers on the field, but it is rare to see twenty main defenders.

It has already been stated in the Japanese sports media that in Kenichi Kaga's absence, the backline of Tokyo FC may become the target of opponents.

At the beginning of the game, Kawasaki really arranged targeted tactics, Kawasaki Frontale Yu Kobayashi and Brazilian foreign aid Reinadinho were active, constantly attacking Zhang Xiuxian's position.

In the 8th minute, Kawasaki midfielder Kengo Nakamura tried to hit Zhang Xiuxian behind him, but Zhang Xiuxian couldn't react, but his partner Masato Morishige cleared the ball early before Yu Kobayashi took the ball.

In the 15th minute, Kawasaki's corner kick opportunity was again in the position of Zhang Xiuxian's main defense, but this time he used his height advantage to push the ball out of the penalty area.

On the sidelines of the court, assistant coach Shin Watanabe was talking to Bobovic: "Ranko, do you want to arrange someone to help him, I'm worried~~~"

"No, he doesn't have much of a problem at the moment, the growth of young defenders is that they need all kinds of experience, and every young defender will be targeted by the opponent when he starts, and these things will make them grow up quickly." Bobovich waved his hand.

In the first 30 minutes of the game, Kawasaki Frontale has been targeting Zhang Xiuxian's point, but it has not been through, so after 30 minutes, Kawasaki Frontale's offensive began to fall, and Tokyo FC gradually regained some advantages in the situation.

In the 34th minute, Hasegawa in the middle instigated an attack, got rid of the defense of Kenyoshi Nakamura and passed to the feet of Ringer on the left side, the opponent's foreign aid Jesse came to defend, Ringer took a trip when he received the ball, pulled out of the space at once, and did not hesitate to raise his right foot and pump it vigorously in the middle of the football.

"Lin Jun ~ Long shot!" The Japanese commentator let out a long breath.

Ringer felt good with the kick, from where he stopped the ball to where he hit the ball when he shot, everything gave him a good feeling, unless the opposition goalkeeper saved, otherwise it could be a big score. As we all know, looking for the Japanese in the goalkeeper highlights, you can only go to the mistake highlights to find, the J League teams want a good goalkeeper but can't get it, and when playing against the Chinese Super League team, Japanese fans often sigh 'Why are Chinese goalkeepers so good?' In fact, it's not the Chinese goalkeeper who is great, it's your own goalkeeper who is too vegetable.

Bang~~

Ringer was confident of his long-range shot, and the ball flew into the top left corner of the goal at high speed, Kawasaki's goalkeeper Nishihei couldn't save it, but there was a bang, and the ball smashed into the crossbar and the post and bounced back into the pitch, and the opposing defender immediately cleared the ball off the touchline.

"Lin Jun's long-range shot is very high-quality, but unfortunately he was almost lucky in the end."

"What the hell!" Bobovic smashed a water bottle on the sidelines. Although he said that he believed Zhang Xiuxian, but there was no way to do it, the current team in the position of central defender except for Zhang Xiuxian is Kenta Starlinghara, Kenta Starling could only play as a substitute in the J2 League last year, Bobovic felt that it was not as reliable as Zhang Xiuxian, although Zhang Xiuxian was young, he was still the captain of the South Korean national youth team, and he still had the ability. Zhang Xiuxian has been targeted in this game, and the pressure in his heart is not small, if the team can score a goal first, the pressure on the whole team will be much less.

Ringer's long-range shot was denied, and Kawasaki Frontale's players were relieved, so they began to attack the Tokyo FC backline again.

In the 42nd minute, Kawasaki's Brazilian foreign player Reinaldinho tried to break through the middle, pedaling his bicycle fancy, like most Brazilians. This kind of bicycle with low practicality can be invincible in the amateur game, and it is often difficult to pass in professional games, because the defender only needs to stick to the position and follow the person, and there is no need to stretch the foot, as long as the position is stuck, the opponent will take the ball more and more deflected, and finally there is no offensive opportunity. But this time, Hasegawa was shaken away by the other party, and when Reinaldinho passed by him, Hasegawa reached out and pulled people.

Beep~

The referee blew the whistle and pulled out the yellow card from his chest. Hasegawa didn't explain too much, he didn't have to be wronged at all for the foul this time.

Seeing this scene, Ringer was thinking that Hasegawa's midfield organization ability was good, but his defensive ability was not good, it was quite weak, and Ringer even felt that Hasegawa's defensive ability was not as good as his own.

Tokyo FC's tactics are based on solid defense, quick counterattack as an important offensive means, everyone in the midfield needs to participate in the defense, Ringer began to worry a little about Hasegawa, the third round of the league Hasegawa was twice in the defense, so the fourth round was suspended, and the team also lost the first game of the season in the fourth round.
