Chapter Eighty-Six: The Last Home Field
After the AFC's annual awards ceremony, Ringer rushed back to Tokyo with his young sister the next morning, and December 1 will be the final round of the J-League.
The young lady stayed in the airport and waited, Ringer and Kenji Akune came out of the airport normally, and there were many fans gathered outside to pick up the airport. Ringer didn't expect so many fans to come to pick up the plane, and a rough estimate is probably in the hundreds.
Ringer likes the feeling, the feeling of a big star.
However, it is much worse than the big stars who are in the game, and it is said that when Beckham came to Japan, it was two or three thousand people who directly caused the airport to be congested. However, Xiaobei has not been able to do it in recent years, and it is not so popular to come to Japan, and only three or four hundred people came to do an event last year to pick up the airport.
However, Xiaobei, who is about to retire, can still cause a stampede when he goes to China, and Chinese fans are too impulsive.
"Mr. Footballer β Lingoal"
"Best Club β Tokyo FC"
There were a lot of support banners from the fans, and Ringer had to sign two names to appease the fans before leaving for the club.
By the time Ringer returned to Tokyo, reports in China about him winning the Asian Footballer of the Year had already dominated the front pages of major sports media outlets, and even many non-sports newspapers had dedicated coverage.
AFC Annual Awards, Ringer Wins Footballer of the Year
"After 11 years, Chinese players won the Asian Footballer of the Year again"
"Ringer won two awards alone, and Chinese football only had a fig leaf for three years"
Yang Ma's news channel also gave a report on the morning news.
"At the AFC Annual Awards Ceremony held in Kuala Lumpur yesterday afternoon, Chinese footballer Ringer was awarded the 2012 Asian Footballer of the Year, becoming the second Chinese footballer to win this award after Fan Zhiyi in 2001."
As the last Chinese senior to win this honor, Fan Zhiyi had to be interviewed and asked questions by reporters.
In Chinese football, Fan Zhiyi and Hao Haidong are two famous names in Chinese football at the turn of the century, but now they have become two cannons. Both of them like all kinds of sprays, see who is not pleasing to the eye, Hao Cannon has a "Ronaldo fire for three years" series is enough for him to use for life, and Fan Zhiyi has a "Lose Vietnam" series is also very famous.
When China lost to Thailand 1:5, Fan Zhiyi sprayed: Chinese football face is gone, and if it continues like this, it will lose to Vietnam and Cambodia.
"Ringer, I haven't seen him play, I don't know how he plays, but I'm still very happy to win the award as a Chinese, but I want to advise those who are whimsical that Chinese football does not rely on one or two people to rise."
This is what Fan Zhiyi said in an interview.

Krot did not return to Tokyo with Ringer because he had returned to Germany.
Before returning to Germany, Krot also said in front of the media: "I am going back to Europe to discuss Lin's transfer, and we are close to reaching an agreement with a European club." β
When Ringer returns to the club, he has to train with the squad to prepare for tomorrow's game, which is the last home game of the season and a title race. If you just win Mr. Footballer and lose the championship at home, you can't afford to lose this face.
Due to the chaos of the final round, before the game even started, all kinds of arguments flew around.
Urawa Red Diamonds fans have expressed their support for FC Tokyo: The Gas team is incredibly strong this season and they deserve a double.
Well, there is a reason. In the final round, Urawa played Nagoya at home, and Urawa had a better chance of winning with home advantage, but even if they won and hoped that Yu Sendai would lose, they would be able to overtake Sendai and qualify for the AFC Champions League.
The head coach of Sendai said: Tokyo FC won the AFC Champions League as a promoted team, they are great enough, even if there is no league title, no one can deny their achievements.
Probably this means that it doesn't matter if Tokyo FC doesn't win the championship, and the resistance is not so strong. With a two-point lead and a goal difference of more than a dozen goals, Vegale Sendai only needs a point away from Tokyo to secure their AFC Champions League qualification.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima also came out to speak: Sendai has been amazing this season, they have the ability to fight for the first AFC Champions League in the club's history, maybe they are the next gas team.
Well, this gets. Whether Vega Sendai defeated or drew with FC Tokyo, Sanfrecce Hiroshima had a good chance to win the championship.
On December 1, the J-League finale was played, with 9 matches played at the same time at 13:30.
Today's temperature is quite low, and it does not exceed 10 degrees at noon, but the Tokyo stadium has already been filled.
Not only was it a title race, but it was also the last home game of the season and Ringer's last game at the Tokyo Stadium.
After returning from Kuala Lumpur, the team's president Ajiune publicly stated in front of reporters that he would not put obstacles in the way of Ringer's transfer to Europe.
In fact, even if he wants to set it up, he can't set it, less than 4 million euros in liquidated damages, there are always a few teams in Europe who are willing to pay this money, even if they can't go to Europe, the Super League has a lot of teams willing to write checks at any time.
Therefore, Tokyo FC fans know that at the end of the season, Ringer will be moving to Europe, and this will be Ringer's last game at Tokyo FC's home stadium.
When Ringer entered the pitch, he saw that the J-League winner's plate had been placed at the exit of the players' tunnel. The J-League winner's trophy is similar to the Bundesliga's winner's sand table, only a little bigger.
Tokyo FC can lift this trophy by winning the championship today and achieve a double. If you lose the championship, the trophy will be sent to Hiroshima.

As soon as Ringer came out, there was a huge cheer from the audience, and the Tifo banners made by the fans at the scene also floated.
"Double Champion ~~~ Tokyo FC"
"Lin Jun ~~~ Golden Boot"
At the same time, there is also a huge Ringer head portrait Tifo, which reads: Thank you, Lin Jun!
In the final game, J-League support manager Rika Adachi reappeared in the stands of the stadium, wearing Ringer's No. 8 jersey and holding a poster of Ringer in her hand to support the team.
It is said that next season, the J-League will have to choose another support manager, because a star like Rika Adachi is a support manager and can't often come to the scene to watch the game, so the J-League Committee plans to audition and find a beautiful woman from an ordinary background to serve as a support manager, so that she can appear in the stands for every round of games.
In this game, Tokyo FC's forward line was Ringer's partner Lucas, and Chima Watanabe sprained himself in the first two days of training, Bobovic did not dare to take any risks and asked him to rest quickly, and he was not even selected for the squad for this game.
For Vega Sendai, they only need a draw to guarantee their qualification for the AFC Champions League, plus they are still a team that is good at defense, so they played more conservatively at the beginning.
But for FC Tokyo, a win is necessary to guarantee the league title, and at the same time, FC Tokyo has gained a lot in recent times, the AFC Champions League, Ringer's Footballer of the Year, and the team's morale is high.
So Tokyo FC quickly launched an onslaught.
Tokyo FC kick off and soon the ball moves forward and Ringer curls a shot to the left of the edge of the box, but it goes over the crossbar.
Although he didn't threaten the other side, Ringer felt good, he tried to feel it, and he was in 89 for this game.
"Lin Jun's long-range shot failed to create a threat, but I believe that Lin Zhuoren on the opposite side should be very nervous, the last time Sendai faced the Gas, Lin Jun broke the door he guarded three times, and the last goal was caused by his own serious mistake." The Japanese commentator is laughing at Lin Zhuoren.
Ringer also recognized the guy opposite, and it was his "help" last time that Ringer scored his first and only hat-trick of his career.
With the addition of the frenetic atmosphere at home, Tokyo FC continued to attack, and it quickly achieved results.
In the 13th minute, Lucas broke through with the ball on the left side of the penalty area, attracted the defense and passed the ball to Ringer, the defenders of Sendai Vega were very nervous, but Ringer faced the incoming ball without stopping the ball and stuffed it directly in front of the goal, which was very unexpected, Sendai Vega was caught off guard, Lucas followed up with a sweeping shot, and the ball went into the net.
"Lucas's goal, with an assist from Lin Jun, gave the Gases the lead in the opening 13 minutes, and the Sendai Vega Thai defense only held on for 13 minutes."
The goal left Vega Sendai unable to defend anymore and they needed a draw to hold their position, so they began to look for attacking opportunities.
"Humph!" Seeing the change in the opponent, Bobovic threw his fist. As long as the opponent presses out and fights to attack, Sendai Vegaltai will never be the opponent of Tokyo FC.
In the 15th minute, Ringer suddenly shot a cold arrow outside the penalty area after the front court, and the ball hit the post and bounced off the bottom line.
In the 19th minute, Vegaltai Sendai created a well-placed free kick in front, but in the end it was still high.
In the 26th minute, Ringer ran into the penalty area, Takuji Yonemoto's pass arrived in time, Ringer stopped the ball and got rid of it laterally, directly shook off Jiro Kamada, who was guarding him, and then volleyed vigorously.
"Lin Jun, get rid of the beautiful stop ball!"
"Lin Jun's knock!"
In this game, Lin Zhuoren wanted to prove himself, and he reacted the moment Ringer shot and immediately fell to the right. But when he fell to the ground, he found that it was still almost, the ball almost grazed his fingertips into the goal, this is a dead corner of the goal, and he can't save it at all.
βLin~~~goal~~~β
"Lin Jun, it was his goal again, the gas team expanded the score to 2:0, and the league championship is one step closer to the gas team."
Trailing by two goals, Vega Sendai could only press the attack more aggressively, and finally in the 32nd minute, Shingo Akaye, a veteran of Tokyo, broke through the Tokyo defense with the ball in a bump and helped Vega Tai Sendai pull a goal back.
But in the 40th minute, when Ringer flew into Lin Zhuoren's goal with a powerful long-range shot from the corner of the penalty area, the Sendai Vegaltai players could only shake their heads helplessly.
"World Wave, Lin Jun's Super World Wave!"
"Lin Jun scored twice, there should be no suspense in this season's league Golden Boot, Hiroshima Sanfrecce faced the tenacious Kobe Victory Ship, the score was still 0:0, Sato failed to score, even if he scored two goals in the second half, he would be behind Lin Jun because of the number of appearances."
