Chapter 56: Consecutive Goals (1)
At the end of two weeks of international competition, the league is back in action.
During the national team game, No. 1 goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda sprained his ankle, and Yuhei Tokunaga also suffered a minor injury, although they will return soon, but this still made Bobovic very angry, and he sprayed directly: "Zaccheroni doesn't know how to use players at all." ”
At the same time, during the time of the national team competition, Tokyo FC finalized a transfer, and Bobovic recruited his fellow countryman, Serbian striker Nemanja Ussevic, a 33-year-old veteran who briefly played in the Bundesliga Cologne and Munich 1860 in his early years.
This is a waiver of visas, no transfer fee at all, Bobovic believes that only Ringer, Lucas and Watanabe are a little thin on the front line, Hirayama was determined by Bobovic too early to be unavailable, and now a striker is brought in to supplement the striker.
Bobovic also promoted full-back Yuki Maruyama from the youth team, and Kosuke Ota may not be back until the end of the season, so Bobovic must plan ahead.
During this time, news came from Europe that Shinji Kagawa transferred to Premier League giants Manchester United for 17 million pounds, becoming the second most valuable player in Asia. The first is Kagawa's predecessor Hidetoshi Nakata, who set a record of £18.5 million in Asian player transfers more than a decade ago, which no one has been able to break to this day. In fact, this record was not broken until Son Heung-min moved to Tottenham.
On July 28, in the 19th round of the J League, Tokyo FC will face the underdog Niigata Swans at home.
Niigata Swans are currently 16th in the standings, which is third from the bottom, as well as the relegation zone.
After half a month of recuperation, Chima Watanabe has basically recovered, but Bobovic still arranged for Ringer and Lucas to start together for safety reasons.
Before the start of the game, Ringer took a look at his condition.

Recently, Ringer's physical values have increased by two points, and Ringer has added all of them to physical fitness, and he has decided to maximize his physical fitness first, and at the same time, the technical values have also automatically increased by three points.
The current form is 81, which is still very good.
He is in good shape, and at the same time the opponent is still a weak team, and Ringer is very confident. In the first leg of the league, Tokyo FC defeated Niigata Swans 2-0 away, so this home game is not yet hand-to-hand.
But as soon as the game began, Ringer understood that football is played by eleven people.
Ringer found his teammates in terrible form. Maybe it's because the impact of the national team game is too great, the main goalkeeper and left and right fullbacks on the back line, these are all injured, and Tokyo FC can't win the opponent at home, regardless of the field or the score.
"The ball is in! It was so surprising that the Gas, who are known for their defense, were breached in less than 10 minutes in the first half, and they were still broken by the team with the worst offensive firepower in the league at the moment. ”
Niigata Swans have scored just 10 goals in 18 league games, the worst attacking team in the J-League, one less than Consadole Sapporo, who are almost on the verge of relegation.
“Fuxk! Bastard! What are you doing? Do you want me to replace you all? Bobovich was furious.
But the situation did not get much better, and soon something happened that made Bobovich even more angry.
"Oh ~ Own goal! It's an own goal! Kenta Starling of the Gas team scored an own goal! Just over 30 minutes into the game, Niigata Swans led 2-0, a shocking result. ”
"Niigata Swans would like to thank Kenta Tsubara, for the first time this season they have scored two goals in a single league game, and they have only scored one goal in the previous 18 league games."
Inadvertently, Tokyo FC also helped Niigata Swans break the record.
Standing on the court, Ringer was also helpless, his teammates were in too poor condition, and he couldn't play any cooperation. The offense is a mistake, and the defense is full of holes, how to play this game?
Bobovic no longer roared, and directly called the captain of the field, Mato Morishige, to the sidelines: "Give me the last ten minutes, I don't want to see any more goals conceded." ”
"Hey Yi!" Mori Shige Majin hurriedly agreed, and the head coach's look at the bottom of the pot was really a little scary.
In the last ten minutes of the first half, Ringer went back to participate in the defense and ensure that the goal was completed. Fortunately, the Niigata Swans seemed to be satisfied with breaking the record, and there was also the intention of recovering the defense, and the score remained 0:2 in the first half, and Tokyo FC fell behind by two goals at home.
"Tell me, what kind of shit are you kicking? What is it about a team that can only score a maximum of one goal per game to score twice in half an hour? Have you all forgotten how to play? Have you all forgotten your boots in the clubhouse? Forgot in a woman's bed? Bobovich's punctuation was sprinkled in the midfield dressing room.
In the national team competition, only a few have been selected for the national team, most of the players are on vacation, and now the state is so poor, Bobovic of course suspects that everyone is playing too much.
"In the second half, I have to see your defense and offense, otherwise I~~~" Bobovic wanted to say that he would replace you all, but remembering that there were only three substitutions, the words were stuck.
"Pass the ball more to Lin and let him lead the attack." Judging by the first half, Ringer was the only Tokyo FC player who was in decent form.
In the second half, the team's form finally improved, although it cannot be said that it is fully recovered, but at least it is not as bad as in the first half.
In the 51st minute, Ringer and Hideto Takahashi teamed up to break the ball at the feet of the opposing midfielder Tanaka Atomu and immediately launched a quick counterattack.
This midfielder was cut off a little unexpectedly, Niigata Swans were not well prepared, Ringer quickly came to the left side in front of the penalty area, but there were still many people in the opponent's penalty area, Ringer chose to dribble horizontally along the front of the penalty area, took two steps, and immediately raised his right foot to hit the goal, and the outside instep pocket a curling ball.
"Lin Jun ~ Shot from outside the penalty area!"
"Nice arc, the ball is in! The gas team pulled a goal back, and Lin Jun stood up at the critical moment. ”
Ringer's idea is very simple, anyway, his teammates are not in good shape, it is better to kick it himself, after all, his condition is not bad.
Although Ringer scored, it also made the Niigata Swans make up their minds to defend and hold the score.
Niigata Swans are back on the defensive, and the overall state of Tokyo FC is not very good, and it is really a bit difficult to put a mouth in the face of a turtle shell.
Ringer had to keep attacking the opposition defence, trying to find opportunities.
In the 61st minute, Ringer's long-range shot from outside the box hit the crossbar and startled the Niigata Swans.
In the 67th minute, Ringer burst into the penalty area and tripped over, but the referee thought that the opponent touched the ball first and did not give a penalty, which caused Bobovic to speak disrespectfully and was almost sent to the stands.
Time passed quickly, and the game quickly went on in the 78th minute, Bobovic had already let Chima Watanabe warm up on the sidelines, and if he couldn't, he would go forward again to continue the attack.
Tokyo FC attacked again, Lucas passed the ball back to Ringer on the penalty line, Ringer was observing the situation on the field, and saw the moment Lucas passed the ball back, it seemed that he had the meaning of running back into the opponent's penalty area, so Fu Zhi's heart did not stop the ball and plugged it straight away, and unexpectedly stuffed the ball back into the penalty area from the crotch of the opponent's midfielder Naoya Kikuchi.
"Lin Jun ~ beautiful pass! Lucas got the ball and it was a good chance! ”
This unexpected pass tore through the opposition's defense, and Lucas took the ball and immediately got up and hit the goal. It was a good chance, but the opposing goalkeeper reacted bravely and saved the ball.
The football was pounced into the penalty area, and Niigata Swan defender Kentaro Oi immediately rushed over to clear the siege, but just as he started, one foot appeared, and the tip of his foot stabbed the ball, and this time no one could stop the goal.
"The ball is in~~~ Lin Jun's supplementary shot is broken! He showed up in time for the box and fired the ball into the net to help the Gases equalise. ”
Ringer also ran aggressively into the box after the pass, and this time it was not in vain.
2:2 was the final score, because the Niigata Swans who were equalized still looked like they were holding on, and Chima Watanabe, who had just recovered from injury, was also in poor condition, and Tokyo FC failed to find a chance to score in the following time. For a relegation team like Niigata Swans, if you can get a point, they don't count anything else.
Thanks to Ringer's brace, Tokyo FC finally got a point at home.
At the same time, in this round of the league, Sanfrecce Hiroshima drew 2:2 away to Kashima Antlers, Sendai Vegalta drew 1:1 with Sagan Tosu at home, and Tokyo FC Although there was an unexpected draw at home, the points gap between the top three remained unchanged. FC Tokyo remain at the top of the table, three points ahead of Sanfrecce Hiroshima and six points ahead of Vega Sendai. However, Urawa Red Diamonds caught up after winning the game, and they have already maintained the same score as Vega Sendai.
