For a team, nothing is more painful than losing points at the end of the league. No matter the fans or the players in Tokyo, they can't imagine that Tokyo didn't win in the 31st round after a league tournament lasted so long.
Looking back after the game, it doesn't seem strange: Tokyo seems to have expended too much energy in the Carling Cup - at least for Bruno. To the league, in the face of Yokohama sailor's game, Bruno played on some of the strength. His defense was so airy that it didn't look like the last game. Tokyo, who thought that the game could defend the counterattack as it did in the last game, was 2-0 behind because of the mistakes of the back line before the players in the front court reacted to the past 10 minutes.
The 32 year old Bruno, who has played more than 40 games in a season, can't hold on. And just won the championship of excitement, but also makes the spirit of Bruno completely relaxed. The mistake in the beginning put Tokyo in a desperate situation.
Behind the score let Tokyo almost desperate attack, Yokohama's defense is not very good, in Tokyo's repeated counterattack, they also finally scored a hard equaliser. But the game time is limited after all, the gap between the two goals is not so easy to catch up. When they really catch up, there is no time to fight back.
The League was 2-2 and they didn't win. The draw allowed the Kawasaki forward to tie their points and beat them by the number of goal differences. At this time, sliding to the fourth position also makes Tokyo's competition for the top three face greater pressure.
"We'd better give up the next cup. Compared with the league, the emperor's cup is not very important. Sendai weijiatai is the first player in the league in J2. Next season, we will upgrade. It's not a small consumption for us to play hard with them. We'd better give up this game
After the game, Cheng Fuhao didn't blame anyone in the dressing room, but secretly worried about his inexperience: seeing Gao shunyao excited about winning a championship, he forgot to look after other players to see if they were not in the same state. This mistake caused Tokyo to lose points and made the situation embarrassing.
Facing the unfavorable situation, he can only make such an arrangement: Tokyo's luck is very bad, in the emperor's cup competition, they draw the opponent is Sendai weijiatai. The champion of J2 League is the best defensive team in J2 League. They only lost 39 goals in 51 games. This team is second in the J2 League. Sakura Osaka, the most aggressive team in the whole J2 League, is one of the two toughest opponents in this round. Unfortunately, Tokyo met them.
Entanglement with such opponents in the Mikado cup is obviously not in line with the needs of Tokyo now. The game of the emperor's cup was abandoned by Cheng Fuhao.
Since they gave up this game, they can't expect to win. In the game, Tokyo, who replaced the substitute team, lost to Sendai weijiatai without any suspense.
2-0 loss of the emperor's cup, Tokyo this season's game, there are only three.
But what makes people helpless is that at this time, Tokyo lost the 32nd round of the competition against Nagoya whale eight.
If the last game, Bruno is just not enough, then this time in the face of Kennedy has been completely integrated into the team, Bruno can be said to play the old show. Kennedy's strong body and excellent technique make him beat Bruno very well in the game. He won two goals alone, which is the biggest victory guarantee of Nagoya whale eight.
At the other end, Gao shunyao also suffered a lot from Yoshida maye. Compared with the previous several contests, Yoshida Ma also made a lot more moves in this game. Pull, push, he did not stop the whole game, and the most serious one, Gao shunyao in the penalty area were pulled down by him.
However, these actions did not bring penalties: This is the last few rounds of the league. Any misjudgment may affect the final ranking of the league. The referee is afraid to take responsibility and dare not give penalties easily. His fear made Tokyo swallow a 1-2 defeat and lose two games in the championship stage.
Obviously, in these days, luck and referees are not on the side of Tokyo.
Another defeat left Tokyo with 58 points and two rounds to go. Now Kajima has 68 points and Gamba has 65 points. They are all making great progress, while Tokyo has lost another game at this time.
And the results of the top two are getting bigger and bigger, which makes Tokyo quite upset. At this time, the only thing that can make them happy is the Kawasaki forward, who scored the same points with them. He also lost this game. Moreover, unlike Tokyo, which only lost 0-1, Kawasaki's forward had a bad mentality in the Carling Cup final because of the loss, which led to a 7-0 defeat. The fiasco ended their goal difference advantage over Tokyo.
Kawasaki forward lost 7-0, I'm afraid they won't have the confidence to take the place any more, but after Hiroshima's three arrows and two wins in a row, the points and Tokyo are also closer.
Now, they are also one of Tokyo's challengers: six points in a row, Hiroshima's three arrows raised the score to 57, and it's easy for them to play against the middle team in the remaining two games. If Tokyo loses points on Shimizu's heartbeat again, then the position of the first three will give up.One wave has not been leveled, another wave has risen, and the war is becoming more and more fierce.
If there is anything to be happy about during this period of time, the only good news is that the Japanese media are also very supportive of the fact that Tokyo FC can replace Hiroshima Sanjian in the Asian championship.
This is not because of the strength of Tokyo FC, or the potential in the Asian Championship - in fact, they have never played in the Asian Championship - but because Hiroshima Sanjiao, the team, is too shameful in the Asian championship.
Hiroshima three arrows team is different from Tokyo FC. In history, they have successfully played in the Asian championship. But after this team entered the Asian championship, their results are absolutely speechless. J League in the past few years, the strength is quite strong, at least in the East Asia division group qualification no problem, but, Hiroshima three arrows performance, is completely the Asian champion soft foot shrimp.
For the Japanese team, the Asian Champions League is a chicken rib which is tasteless to eat and a pity to abandon. The income of the Asian Champions League is too little. A victory in a group match is only 600000 yen. Although the elimination match is increasing, the champion is only 22.5 million yen, and the final bonus is only 5.25 million yen. Even if all the games are won, it is only about 50 million yen, which is far less than the 100 million yen of the Japanese League Cup.
Hiroshima three arrows has always given up the Asian championship. They only let the substitute players play in the Asian championship. It seems that they don't pay attention to the honor, but in fact they consider it for their own assets. If the players are injured, the cost of treatment may be more than that of the Champions League. What is there to play in such a game?
Because he has always been playing in a mess in the Asian championship, there is even a joking saying in Japan: the J-League game is known as the most unpredictable game in the world, and can be called the biggest natural enemy of the game. Therefore, if you take part in the bet, there is only one way to win the game: if you bet on Hiroshima three arrows, you will never have any problem
The Japanese media don't want to make the J League lose too ugly in the Asian Championship - the reason is very simple, because the reform of the current Asian championship is advocated by the Japanese.
In 2007 and 2008, Urawa Ruby and Osaka feijiao won the Asian championship twice in a row - when they won the Asian championship, they were not even the champion of J League. In China, they were firmly held down by the antlers of Kajima, but they won the Asian Championship in a row in the international arena, which made the Japanese football world extremely proud for a time - that is, at that time, the J League On the one hand, the father of Japanese football is confident that Japanese football should break away from Asia and enter Europe, and further become a talent delivery League. On the other hand, he also began to exert influence on the Asian Football Association. By reforming the rules of the Asian championship, he wants to further establish the hegemony of Japanese football in Asia.
In 2009, the Asian Champions League reform was very biased towards Japan: the home advantage of the first group was determined, the final was changed to a single game system, and held in a neutral field. The former helped the J-League team expand their advantage, while the latter - this year's final was held in Tokyo.
It's a pity that man is not as good as nature. In this year's Asian championship, the Japanese did not reach the final at all. The best result was in Tokyo and Japan.
However, this year's results have always been somewhat unconvinced by the Japanese. Among the teams that played in the Asian championship this year, there was no Osaka Gamba, and the Kajima antler gave up in the Asian Championship for their dream of three consecutive titles in the league, which has been criticized. This year's Asian championship, the Japanese did not admit defeat, they also hope to continue to win next year - anyway, next year's final is still in Tokyo, one breath applied for two years of Asian Championship finals venue, the Japanese also fight very hard.
If you can win three titles in four years, it's a success. And when you want to win the championship, it's better not to make up for such a disgraceful team as Hiroshima Sanjie.
Therefore, at this moment, the media supports Tokyo.
Their support doesn't matter to Tokyo, but it's always a good thing to know that someone supports you at this time. In the team, Cheng Fuhao also transformed these supports into the team's driving force.
"Guys, even the media now put their last hope on us. If we lose again, we will lose too much. If we win the last two games, we are likely to be the final winner. With these efforts, we can say that this year is perfect - guys, we have won a championship this year, which should be our best memory. Don't let our mistakes in the last 180 minutes tarnish our beautiful memories of this year. The memories of this year must be perfect! "
PS: in 2008, Junichiro Kawakami promoted the reform of the Asian championship. At that time, he stipulated a series of measures favorable to Japan. But the problem is that those measures are also favorable to South Korea. Since 2009, the South Korean team has entered the finals for five consecutive years.
