Chapter 91: Al Ahli, Cairo (2)

On the afternoon of December 10, the first round of the 2012 Club World Cup will begin.

At the pre-match press conference, Ringer was asked a question by a Chinese journalist.

"Ringer, what do you think about the fact that you were ranked 15th in the 2012 World Football Rising Star Selection published by the British magazine World Football yesterday?"

"I'm very grateful to World Football magazine for this selection, and being in the top 20 is an affirmation for me."

"But a lot of people think you don't deserve this rank?"

"I'll prove myself worthy of this place in the future."

~~~

World Football is a British football magazine, although it does not have much influence, but it is very keen to select the best in various rankings, such as the top 100 stars in world football, the best coaches in the world, the best referees, etc., including the annual ranking of rising stars in world football.

Ringer was named the 15th Rising Star of 2012, a ranking that was indeed inflated, so he received some criticism.

Krot had already called last night to talk about it, and it was he who did something to get Ringer in the top 20.

For the rising stars of the year, the top 10 are generally the rising stars of European football, and the top 20 generally has two or three new stars outside Europe, and in most cases they are South American talents.

Ringer was ranked fifteenth, which was a bit of a surprise indeed.

The comments given by "World Football" magazine are: this year's Asian Champions League Golden Boot, the core player of the championship team, the best player in the final, Asian Footballer, only 21 years old, Chinese, with good talent. All this shows that he has a bright future, and I believe that many European teams and even giants are willing to give him the opportunity to prove himself, as long as there are no major injuries, I believe that he can have a place in world football.

In fact, the most important thing is the Chinese, as long as Ringer can continue to maintain, it is only a matter of time before he appears in the European giants in the future.

However, the inflated ranking is admitted.

Which players are in front of him, Barcelona's Tello, Paris's Verratti, Real Madrid's Raphael Varane, Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Juventus' Pogba, Liverpool's Raheem Sterling, Atletico Madrid's Courtois, Malaga's Isco, etc., although there are also two or three parallel goods, but most of the others are future well-known European stars.

Although Ringer believes that his achievements will not lose to them in the future, but for now, his reputation is indeed much smaller than them, and he can be ranked in this position, one is Ringer's Chinese identity, and the other is that the Krott guy did some public relations, plus the result of the previous scandal hype with Arsenal.

In the other Club World Cup match played the day before, Jeddah Al Ahly lost 0:2 to North American champions Monterrey. Monterrey have advanced to the semi-finals and will face European champions Chelsea, while tonight will decide the final semi-finalists.

At 17:30 Tokyo time, 18:30 Beijing time, the 2012 Club World Cup match between Tokyo FC and Al Ahly Cairo officially began.

The starting lineup on the Tokyo FC side is a regular 442;

Goalkeeper: Shuichi Gonda;

Defenders: Yuhei Tokunaga, Masato Morishige, Zhang Xiuxian, Kosuke Ota;

Midfielders: Hideto Takahashi, Hasegawa, Takuji Yonemoto, Yohei Oyama;

Forwards: Ringer, Chima Watanabe.

Zhang Xiuxian's hard performance after recovering from injury can be regarded as being recognized by Bobovic again, and Chima Watanabe basically has no problem, so he naturally wants to partner with Ringer to start.

The opponent Cairo Al Ahli is also in a 442 formation;

Goalkeepers: Ekramie;

Defenders: Goma, Fati, Nagub, Zinawi;

Midfielders: Geharry, Ashur, Said, Soliman;

Forwards: Guido, Hamdi.

The whole team is all Egyptians, I don't know if it is the all-Egyptian class required by their Football Association, midfielder Gehari played as a substitute for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League for two years in his early years, and he is one of the few players in the team who has played abroad.

"It's out~~ It's out!" The Club World Cup Yang Ma does not have the right to broadcast, and the domestic Pain Xun Sports has the copyright, and the live broadcast on the Internet is naturally indispensable for Ringer's game.

"The cheering for Ringer's name is so loud, and Ringer is really popular in Japan."

"If a genius suddenly emerges in China and leads a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Chinese Super League to win the AFC Champions League and the Chinese Super League championship, then he will definitely be more popular than Ringer."

"Not to mention the middle and lower teams, someone can perform as well as Ringer, even if it is with a local tyrant team like Evergrande to win the AFC Champions League, it will be blown into a god."

"The Japanese don't seem to be able to pronounce it accurately, why do they shout like forest dogs?"

"You don't know this, people are shouting Lin~goal~"

~~~

The live webcast gives fans more room to talk freely.

"Lin Sang, dry daddy!"

I have to say that fame also needs time to ferment, Ringer's top performance this season, now that the season is over, Ringer has won a bunch of honors, and his fame has completely fermented.

In this game, many girls in the stands of Toyota Stadium came to cheer him on and shouted dry daddy (come on).

As far as this game is concerned, Tokyo FC is not afraid of Cairo Al Ahly, and Cairo Al Ahly is not afraid of Tokyo FC, because there is not much difference in strength, and it is difficult to say who wins and who loses.

The only good thing about Tokyo FC is that it has the home advantage as the host, and today the Toyota Stadium is almost entirely full of fans supporting Tokyo FC.

In the 4th minute of the opening game, Cairo Al-Ahly's full-back Goma stepped forward to assist, and Gerharry's shot on the line of the penalty area was not much off, and goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda was taken aback.

"Don't be stunned~ get nervous! Hurry up and get nervous! Bobovic shouted from the sidelines.

Even though it's just over a week since the last game, there's a feeling that the season is over. At the beginning of this game, everyone was a little nervous, which caused Bobovic to be dissatisfied.

In the 7th minute, Al Ahly's striker Hamdi in Cairo took the ball and almost broke through the Tokyo FC defense.

"The Gases didn't start the game with enough excitement, they are the Asian champions, Lin Jun is the Asian Footballer of the Year, they need to get back into shape quickly. As long as they get back to form, it will not be a problem for them to knock out the Cairo team and reach the semi-finals. ”

The Japanese broadcast rights of the Club World Cup were sold to TV Tokyo, which is one of the minority shareholders of Tokyo FC, so this Japanese commentary is clearly biased towards Tokyo FC.

After stumbling for more than ten minutes, the whole Tokyo FC team finally began to slowly regain their form, but then the goal also came.

In the 17th minute, Tokyo FC was just beginning to find its form, Cairo Al Ahly midfielder Gehari kicked a through ball, directly behind Mori Shige, Hamdi followed up in time to take the ball to form a single knife, and then pushed the far corner to score.

"Hey, I didn't expect Tokyo FC to concede the first goal, and they didn't show that they were very good in the first ten minutes, so they were punished. The good thing is that their form is coming back and hopefully they can equalise very quickly. The painful commentary sighed.

This kind of competition is undoubtedly biased in favor of teams with Chinese.

Seeing the team concede the goal, Bobovic did not get angry, but cheered: "Cheer up, we still have enough time to pull it back." ”

Bobovic had expected this situation, the difference in strength between Tokyo FC and Cairo Al Ahly was not large, and he did not arrange the team's rigid tactics, it is entirely possible to concede goals, and there is no need to worry too much.

Because Cairo Al Ahli has a similar idea, they will definitely not score a goal and start to defend and wait for the game to end, they will definitely continue to play normally, attack when they should attack, and defend when they should defend.

Bobovich guessed right, Cairo Al Ahly was not satisfied with a goal lead, and then reverted to the defense, which is the performance of a weak team against a strong team, and Tokyo FC is not Chelsea, and it does not deserve this kind of treatment.

As a result, the game continued as usual, and FC Tokyo began to slowly regain their form.

In the 21st minute, Chima Watanabe made a return pass after breaking through the side, and Ringer volleyed vigorously from a position in the penalty area.

Bang!

The ball hit the post and bounced off the baseline.

"This is the first threatening attack of this game for Tokyo FC."

In the 28th minute, Ringer broke through the ribs and scored a corner kick for his team.

The corner kick attack was also a good opportunity to score, and Ringer, Watanabe, Hasegawa and others all squeezed into the opponent's penalty area.

Takuji Yonemoto took a corner kick and flew straight to the back point of Chima Watanabe, who jumped high and grabbed the landing point, while Cairo Al-Ahli defender Fati was struggling to interfere with him, so his header was deflected and the ball was passed in the air to the forward point.

"Watanabe~~~ header goal!"

"It's not~ it's a header ferry!"

"Lin Jun ~ Good opportunity!"

Ringer was right in front of him, thinking that the ball was nothing to do with him, but Chima Watanabe, who nodded the ball later, attracted a lot of attention and passed the ball to the front point.

Ringer didn't hesitate to jump with all his strength and flick his head at goal, but Cairo Al Ahli goalkeeper Akrami couldn't do anything.

"Lin~~~goal~~~" TV Tokyo's commentator screamed hard.

"Lin Jun, the header scored, he helped the gas equalizer!"

Ringer, who scored the goal, immediately rushed over to hug and celebrate with Chima Watanabe, and the other party had a lot of credit for this goal.

Although Ringer didn't know whether the ball was a header from the top of the goal under interference, or a conscious header, it did create a good opportunity for Ringer.

Bobovich was also throwing punches hard and celebrating unbridledly.

"Ringer is not the kind of high school striker, but his header ability is still very good, although the ball just now was a little sudden, but there was actually a defender in front of him, the Egyptian player was half a head taller than him, but Ringer was able to jump up and press the opponent's header to score." The domestic commentary is a basic operation to help Ringer blow a wave.

Soon, things that made Tokyo FC happier followed.

In the 36th minute, Al Ahly's midfielder in Cairo Ghari strained his thigh in an attack and could not hold on to the game and was replaced, which was good news for FC Tokyo.

The team equalised and went off injured at the heart of the opposing midfield, which boosted the morale of FC Tokyo and significantly damaged the morale of the opposition.

Under the momentum of the other, Ringer knew that he had to seize the opportunity quickly, otherwise the opponent would know that he would not be able to play and take back the defense, and it might be difficult to play at that time, and maybe in the end he could only fight for a penalty and bet on luck.

In the 41st minute, Ringer received an inserted pass from Kosuke Ota in the corner of the penalty area.

Ringer had his back to the goal, behind him was held up by opposition defender Zinas, and not far away Nagub was ready to come over to make up for it. In this situation, Ringer faced a pass from Kosuke Ota, stopped the ball with his left foot, and immediately turned and volleyed with his right foot.

"Ota ~~ Pass!"

"Lin Jun takes the ball~~~ turns around and hits the goal~ beautiful!"

Ringer's sudden hit on the goal also wanted to grab an attack, turned around with his back to the goal and hit the goal, and the position of the goal could only rely on feeling.

Who knew that the quality of this shot was quite high, and it flew directly to the upper left corner of the goal, and Al Ahli goalkeeper Akrami in Cairo made a save. But he wasn't a world-class goalkeeper, and just because he made a save didn't mean he could save the ball, the ball went around his fingers and into the net.

"Lin~~~goal~~~~~~" The Japanese commentator shouted again in a long voice.

"Lin Jun's brace, the first half of the team was not in the state to concede a goal, but before the first half ended, Lin Jun scored twice to help the team reverse the score, he is a well-deserved king of Asia!"

By this time, Ringer had rushed to the edge of the stadium and received the cheers of the fans with open arms.

“Lingoal~~~!”

“Lingoal~~~!”

"Lin Sang, love the way!" There's a girl shouting I love you.
