"What is currently being broadcast is the fourth round of the AFC Champions League group stage, and the players of both teams are playing in Group F when Tokyo FC plays at home against Chinese Super League team Beijing Guoan." On the broadcast of Nippon TV, the famous commentator Koichi Yamamoto was talking.

Although Guoan still has a lot of hope of qualifying if he wins away, but in terms of the current state of Guoan, the possibility of winning away from home is quite small, so the central mother in China does not broadcast Guoan's game, and changes to Evergrande's home game against Bai Suns.

In the TV screen, the starting lists of both teams also came out.

Tokyo FC is goalkeeper Hitoshi Shiota, who was injured in the league last weekend, and Shuichi Gonda, who was injured in the league last weekend, has little problem, but he will also have to rest for a week or two.

The back line from right to left is Yuhei Tokunaga, Masato Morishige, Zhang Xiuxian, and Kosuke Ota;

The midfield four are Takuji Yonemoto, Hasegawa, Naohiro Ishikawa and Kusato Tanabe, and the defensive midfielder Hideto Takahashi accumulated yellow cards in the last round and was suspended;

On the front line, of course, Ringer, who was rested on the weekend, was paired with Chima Watanabe.

Guoan's starting line was still the same 4231 formation as in the previous round, but the single arrow at the top was replaced by the taller Australian Reinaldo, and the young midfielder Zhang Xizhe got the chance to start.

In the dressing room before the game, Bobovic's words were very simple, win at home and take all three points.

The whole team of Tokyo FC has this confidence, if it were not for Guoan's foul tactics and the referee's whistle in the last round, Tokyo FC would have a great chance to bring back three points away, and now back at home, Guoan has no home whistle to help, and Tokyo FC will win the opponent.

Guoan, for their part, showed a lack of confidence, and in the pre-match press conference, Guoan manager Pacheco began to make excuses: "Our backline is like a plague. ”

Since the beginning of this season, Guoan has injured the main goalkeeper Yang Zhi, the main central defender foreign aid François, and the substitute central defender Yu Yang.

Guoan's own strength is weaker than that of Tokyo FC, and now the back line is full of injuries, and Bobovic said before the game that he would win at home, which is really fine.

As soon as the game began, Tokyo FC launched a big attack.

Watanabe drove the ball out of the center circle, and Ringer immediately started after receiving the ball, and went straight to the Guoan half, as you can see from the broadcast screen, Ringer rushed forward with the ball, and the players of Tokyo FC followed closely behind, and Guoan quickly recovered his own half, and was pressed back as soon as the opening was opened.

Guoan's idea is simple, stick to the fence and defend, and they will be satisfied with the chance to hold on to a draw. Getting a point away from home is not much of a help to Guoan's qualification, but it's better than losing, losing will basically end the AFC Champions League journey this season, and it's good to delay it with a point and delay the arrival of the death notice. Of course, Pacheco, the head coach of the National Security Division, still has some illusions, if he holds the opponent's attack and finally defeats the opponent with a dribble, it will not be perfect.

There are always fantasies, once you really fall asleep.

Before coming to the penalty area, Ringer and Watanabe fell twice, there was no big defensive problem on the Guoan side, Ringer put the ball back, and the follow-up Naohiro Ishikawa shot a long shot in front of the penalty area, completing the first shot of the game, but this long-range shot was a little too high.

Two minutes later, Ringer and Hasegawa collided against the wall and found a chance from the right side of the penalty area, but as soon as he burst in, someone came to block, Ringer hit the near corner with an early shot, and Guoan goalkeeper Hou Sen held the ball.

"Lin Jun, the performance is as stable as ever, the rush to the near corner just now is very imaginative, but the opponent's goalkeeper reacted quickly and confiscated the ball." Koichi Yamamoto is also praising Ringer.

In the draw of the last round of Guoan, the referee's home whistle helped a lot, and this time in the home stadium of Tokyo FC, the referee will not help them anymore.

In the 7th minute, Ringer dribbled the ball on the right side, strode easily past Guoan left-back Zhou Ting, Zhou Ting pulled people directly in a hurry, the referee blew a foul without hesitation, and Tokyo FC won a free kick on the right side of the penalty area.

"The Gas's free kick opportunity, but this position is not far from the corner kick point, in fact, it is not much different from the corner kick, it is equivalent to a slightly shorter corner, you can't hit the goal directly, you can only seek cooperation."

"Ishikawa takes a free kick ~ back point! Watanabe ~ Header! ”

"The ball is in! Beautiful header from Chima Watanabe! ”

"In just seven minutes, the Gas team scored, Hayashi Jun created a free kick opportunity, Watanabe-kun scored with a header, I think the other teams in the J League, as well as the Asian teams participating in the AFC Champions League, they need to pay attention to this forward combination of the Gas."

"Before the game, the head coach of the Chinese Super League team said that his team's back line suffered a plague, I think he was not wrong, their defenders actually leaked, Watanabe-kun as the starting striker of the Gas, they actually lost him in the free kick defense, it was a huge mistake, and now they have tasted the bitter fruit."

Ringer and Chima Watanabe hugged and celebrated on the sidelines, the goal was neither scored nor assisted by him, but the free-kick opportunity for the attack was created by him, which will also give him extra points.

There was a goal in less than ten minutes into the opening game, and the Tokyo fans at home were cheering loudly in celebration, while the National Security Guards who came to the away stadium were not so comfortable and hung their heads one by one.

At this time, in the stadium box, Guoan's manager Gao Chao and other management personnel frowned slightly, this is the first time that Guoan's management has come to watch the game away from home in the AFC Champions League, and the team has shown them like this. Although I have long known that this away game is difficult to win, it is still unacceptable to concede a goal in less than ten minutes of the opening game, and Gao Chao deliberately went to the locker room to mobilize before the game.

"What's going on with that Chinese foreign aid at Tokyo FC? Which club brought it up? How was it sold to the J-League to play football? Gao Chao thought about the performance of the No. 8 on the field just now, and couldn't help but ask his club's scouting director, who also thought that Ringer had transferred to Japan from China.

The scouting director secretly complained in his heart, after the last round, you still claimed to introduce the other party, but now you don't even know the other party's situation at all, but he still replied seriously: "That kid is called Ringer, and he was not cultivated by a domestic club." ”

"Cultivated by a Japanese club?" Gao Chao was even more curious, although there are things in China that send young players abroad for training from time to time, they are all sent to Europe, and I have never heard of sending them to Japan.

"Actually, it's not, it's said that the kid came to Japan to go to university, and later joined the school's football team, and then somehow played professional football and joined Tokyo FC. Oh, I heard that kid was a goalkeeper at first, and then he switched to striker. "The scouting supervisor doesn't know much, and Ringer's origin has not been fully excavated, and a lot of news comes from the Internet, and whether it is really still needs to be verified.

"Can we bring him in in the summer, it shouldn't cost a lot of money, right?" This time, Gao Chao is really considering bringing in Ringer, not just talking about it like two weeks ago.

"This? At present, Tokyo FC has a good chance of qualifying from the AFC Champions League group, and Ringer is already an important member of their forward line, so they should not let him go easily. ”

"The club won't let go? We can convince the players, it seems that the young players in the J-League have low salaries, and when they go back to play football in China, we can give him more consideration in terms of salary, and he came to play professional football as a college student, not for money. ”

"Okay, I'll find a way to get in touch with his agent."
