Chapter Forty-Seven: The Away Battle of Tianhe (3)

"The best performance in the opening ten minutes was Lin Jun of the gas team, and under his leadership, the gas team threatened the opponent's goal three times, but unfortunately failed to score a goal." Hirokazu Yamamoto, a Japanese commentator, sighed slightly. In the face of Evergrande, which has strong firepower, although Tokyo FC defends well, it is still very difficult to fully defend, especially in the current situation where the back line is somewhat broken, if it can score a goal at the beginning to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, it will be perfect.

After the opening three boards, Tokyo FC slowly calmed down. Bobovic arranged before the game, and the opening game could rely on the opponent's unfamiliarity with Tokyo FC, especially the unfamiliarity with Ringer, the sudden striker, to attack with this attack, and with good luck, there may be unexpected gains.

Silver Fox Lippi's tactical arrangement is obviously very stable, he hurriedly took office and probably doesn't know enough about his team Evergrande, and he can only understand Tokyo FC through some video materials, and he has never seen Tokyo FC play with his own eyes, so Lippi didn't dare to be careless, and asked the team to stabilize at the beginning, don't rush to attack, and adapt to the opponent's rhythm first.

"It's a pity that the old fox really has some level, if he faced an ordinary coach and wanted to give us a disadvantage at the beginning, then we would probably have taken advantage of the opponent's carelessness and unfamiliarity to score goals." Bobovic was talking to the assistant coach on the sidelines.

Although Bobovich was afraid of the other party's reputation and achievements, he did not open his mouth to spray Lippi, but in Bobovich's heart, he thought that Lippi was the kind of old guy who had become obsolete, although he had achieved a lot of achievements, but now he is gradually unable to keep up with the times. But the opening small abacus failed to start, and Bobovich had to pay attention.

In the first ten minutes, they created three threatening attacks but failed to score, Evergrande gradually adapted to the rhythm of Tokyo FC, and its performance began to be active.

In the 12th minute, Evergrande's Zhao Xuri suddenly accelerated on the left side of the midfield, shook off Hasegawa's defense, and went to the left side of the front penalty area to make a wall collision with Cleo and then hit the wall and entered the penalty area.

"It's a pity, this is Evergrande's first threat attack, and it's wasted."

In the 16th minute, South Korean midfielder Cho Won-hee, who was arranged by Lippi to the right-back position, took the ball in, went to the front to attract Kenta Starlinghara and passed the ball to Conca, who followed up in the middle.

"The full-backs stepped forward to assist, good chance ~ Muric!" Fang Shenjian shouted.

Fortunately, on the Tokyo FC side, Hideto Takahashi reacted in time and quickly attacked to clear the ball before Muric got the ball.

"Focus ~ Stay Focused!" Evergrande continued to play threatening attacks, Bobovic was a little unsettled, and if this situation continued, the goal would be broken sooner or later.

Ringer on the field also felt this situation, Evergrande's offensive is getting more and more fierce, although it is still dominated by three South American foreign aids, but the team's coordination under Lippi's adjustment is more, and the fullbacks and midfielders are inserted more frequently, which makes Tokyo FC a little tired to cope.

Due to the flawed backline, Bobovic sent defensive midfielder Hideto Takahashi back to play at centre-back, a change that made the centre-back duo more reassuring, but at the cost of weakening the midfield defence, and the midfield's restrictions on Conca were greatly reduced. And Kenta Starling, who replaced Kosuke Ota at left-back, did not perform very well, and under the strong offensive of Evergrande, Kenta Starling was timid, and he almost wrote the words "I can't prevent it" on his face.

In light of this, Ringer began to drop back into midfield to help his teammates limit Conca, who has always been the heart of Evergrande's midfield, and limiting him is necessary to ease Evergrande's attack.

In the 18th minute, Conca took the ball in the middle and easily passed Takuji Mimoto, and Ringer did not hesitate to step forward to tackle him, so he was warned by the referee.

In the 20th minute, it was again Conca dribbling the ball in front of the penalty area, Ringer was shaken by the opponent and immediately reached out to pull people, and Evergrande won a free kick in front.

"Lin Jun took the initiative to retreat to the midfield, I don't know if this was Bobovic's arrangement before the game, his retreat can indeed help the Gas's midfield defense, but this is at the expense of the offense, away from the opponent's penalty area, Lin Jun's offensive threat is also greatly reduced." Koichi Yamamoto said.

Although the game is very passive, the determination to fight back must be played, and Tokyo FC must not simply defend it, there is no game in the world that must be defended.

In the 24th minute, Tokyo FC broke the ball in front of the penalty area and quickly transferred it to the feet of midfielder Ringer, who immediately started to accelerate with the ball and rushed to the opponent's half.

"Ringer is known as the Chinese Kaka in the J-League, and his dribbling characteristics are indeed somewhat similar to Kaka, with a big stride, not fancy, but always passing." Duan Xuan was praising again.

"And Ringer can play multiple positions in the midfield, it is said that forwards, forwards, fullbacks can play, although Kaka is basically playing in the position of the front midfield, but Kaka, who was at the peak of the 06/07 season, was more like a shadow striker at that time, so he could score so many goals."

Ringer's speed is very fast in Asia, he soon came to the Evergrande half, but his teammates failed to follow up in time, South Korean Cho Won-hee kept giving him physical confrontation, Ringer was forced to the side little by little, and the threat to the Evergrande goal was greatly reduced.

On the far side of the flank, and without teammates to pick up for the time being, Ringer suddenly kicked the ball near the touchline and kicked the ball to the South Korean to bounce off the touchline, which was not bad for the team.

"Lin Jun is very smart to earn a well-positioned sideline ball for the gas team."

Bobovic has long said that playing Evergrande away is likely to fall into a passive situation, so every set-piece opportunity in front of the court is important and needs to be fought for with all your might.

Although it was a sideline ball, it was already near the Evergrande penalty area, and Tokyo FC planned to treat the sideline ball as a corner kick, that is, throw the sideline ball directly into the Evergrande penalty area.

Yuhei Tokunaga vigorously threw the sideline ball, and the ball went straight to the Evergrande penalty area, but the power was still a little smaller, the ball landed near the penalty area line, and Yohei Oyama hit the ball at the landing point, but it was not the ball into the penalty area, but it was pushed to the outside of the penalty area.

"Tokyo FC's strong sideline ball, Yohei Oyama grabbed the point, header ferry? No, it's a header back, Ringer ~ Ringer is outside the box! ”

Tokyo FC players know that they can't fight against Evergrande, so they need more cooperation, this time it is a set-piece that has been practiced for a long time, not to play in the crowd in the penalty area, but to look for opportunities outside the penalty area, but this time the set-piece turned into a sideline ball.

Oyama made the right amount of effort to meet the ball with no one in front of the penalty area, and volleyed the ball into the top right corner of the goal.

"Ringer ~ Volley! ~~~”

The volley was a good positional power, and Ringer kept an eye on the ball, but before the ball flew into goal, a large hand suddenly appeared and dragged the ball, and the ball went over the crossbar and out of the line.

"Yang Jun, Yang Jun has made a meritorious service, Ringer's long-range shot from outside the penalty area is of high quality, but Yang Jun reacted quickly to lift the ball off the crossbar, and Evergrande escaped." Duan Xuan said.

"Bastard~ I didn't even get in!" Bobovich couldn't help but jump again.

Ringer was also disappointed to see that the goal was not scored, this was the third time he threatened the opponent's goal in this game, but he was always a little short of a goal. The goal didn't score just now, there is a reason why the goalkeeper Heng saved beautifully, but there is also a reason why Ringer didn't hit the goal at a good angle, if the angle is a little more tricky, the opponent's goalkeeper will definitely not be able to save.

Ringer couldn't help but look at his stat: 71, a pretty good statistic. Since the cheating glasses appeared in the state display, Ringer has also slowly figured out the general situation of this state display, the state is 60 to 69, which is the state is average, 70 to 79 is in good condition, 80 to 89 is in good condition, above 90 should be in a bad state, and below 60 should be in a very poor state, the reason why it should be said should be that Ringer has not been out of the state above 90 or below 60 for the time being, but it is estimated.

Ringer's form during this period has mostly fluctuated between 60 and 80, occasionally above 80, and the last time Ringer scored a hat-trick in the league was at 85.

When Ringer arrived in Guangzhou yesterday, he saw that the form was 79, and today the game became 71, which seems to be the impact of the away game. 71, a slightly better state than average, I don't know if I can get out of it today.

Tokyo FC once again threatened Evergrande's goal, this is to tell Evergrande not to be too arrogant, we are not without the power to fight back, if we are lucky, I am afraid there will be more than one goal.

Evergrande did rein in, under the command of Lippi on the sidelines, there were about ten minutes when Evergrande's offense was not so crazy, but ten minutes later, Evergrande suddenly exerted its strength and the offensive started again.

In the 37th minute, Evergrande's offensive was launched from the right side, and Zhao Yuanxi assisted again. Evergrande's sudden change of rhythm made Tokyo FC feel a little uncomfortable, 22-year-old Kenta Starlinghara was even more unbearable, and was easily removed from the defense by Zhao Yuanxi, and then Zhao Yuanxi dribbled horizontally in front of the penalty area, Ringer immediately rushed over to make up for the defense, Zhao Yuanxi and Muric made a two-by-one cooperation and then entered the Tokyo FC penalty area, Tokyo FC's defense line was torn apart again, Zhao Yuanxi was experienced and did not rush to hit the goal, but a cross in front of the goal, Evergrande striker Cleo followed up in time to push the empty goal, Evergrande took the lead.

"The ball is in~ a beautiful fit! In the 37th minute, Evergrande's offensive finally had a harvest, a beautiful team cooperation, and finally Cleo pushed the goal" Fang Shenjian cheered happily.

Cleo, who scored the goal, was kneeling in celebration, Lippi and the assistant coach on the sidelines hugged and cheered, Bobovic was habitually smashing water bottles to vent his anger, Tianhe Stadium was completely boiling, drums and cheers were continuous, and the red flag was tumbling non-stop.

Standing on the court, Ringer shook his head helplessly, but he still didn't hold it.
