People's ambition will increase step by step with what they get. At the beginning of the current half season, looking at his team's loss of important players, Cheng Fuhao once thought that being able to avoid relegation was his greatest luck. But in the past eight rounds, Tokyo's performance not only did not go down, but continued to go up, which also made Cheng Fuhao satisfied with the results and began to play the idea of the Asian championship.
This kind of idea may be a bit promising, but for Cheng Fuhao, it's also normal to consider the Asian Championship: Although Tokyo's performance is better now, it still seems to be more than relegation, and there is no hope of competing for the top three. With 34 points accumulated in 20 rounds of competitions, it can be said that this achievement is the most indecisive for all coaches: in a season, there is no achievement to strive for, and the end of the season is still early, so he can't do nothing.
After the results of the league are better, the idea of whether the Asian championship can go further has been harassing Cheng Fuhao. Although the goal set by the team is to qualify in the Asian Championship Group, he has over fulfilled the task and brought the team to the final eight stage. However, if you think about the current situation of the team, he would like to try again to see if Tokyo FC can win one or two more games in the Asian championship.
He would like to do this: last season, Tokyo's historic top three made him a rookie coach. And this season, if he leads Tokyo to the semi-finals of the Asian championship, it also proves that he really has the level, which is very good for his own career. Moreover, he also believes that his players will support this: after the world cup, how many scouts will watch the J-League? The players will not be satisfied with abusing vegetables in the league. Only when they play at a higher level can they get more people's attention.
However, this is not without risks: in the Asian championship, they met a strong opponent: in this round, they met the South Korean team Suwon Samsung. The Japanese team has no advantage over the South Korean team, and Suwon Samsung is also the top strong team in South Korea, so it's difficult to face them. Tokyo's record in the group match against POSCO is one win and one lose, which makes this match still questionable.
However, it seems that after a spell, there is no loss. Therefore, during this period of time, Cheng Fuhao has been studying Samsung in Shuiyuan.
This team needs to pay attention to three South Korean international players: goalkeeper Li yunzai, South Korea's chief goalkeeper, is almost the strongest goalkeeper in East Asia; defender Zhao Yuanxi, who used to play in Wigan Athletic, has just been loaned back to Samsung for a short time. Midfield Lian Jixun, a very good breakthrough master, once tried to train West Ham United, can be said to be very threatening. The existence of these three people gives Samsung Shuiyuan enough confidence to face any opponent.
Compared with the international, Suwon Samsung's foreign aid seems to be poor. Because of injuries, they can use only two foreign players in the game. The forward Motta is the player of Shuiyuan Samsung holding up the midfield line, while the back guard Li Datou is the foreign aid from China.
The other side had Chinese players, which surprised Cheng Fuhao at that time. In Asia, the only teams that used Chinese players as foreign aid were probably these two teams. It happened that these two teams met in the Asian championship. This coincidence makes Cheng Fuhao sigh about the magic of fate.
While sighing, he was also thinking about what to do to make Tokyo win the game: after all, the two games that Tokyo lost have fully illustrated the problem: Tokyo's back line is not in good condition now, and the midfield is easy to deform when it is oppressed by the opponent, which is obviously built. If we don't solve this problem, if we meet the Korean team, that's the big problem.
How to build up a good back line and midfield is what Tokyo needs to consider. In the first half of the season, the defensive quality of Tokyo was quite high, while in the second half of the season, with the departure of ryou Nagoya and the disappearance of Takashi Kono, their defensive quality also declined a lot. How to find back their own defense is a problem that Cheng Fuhao must consider.
Fortunately, after August 24, there was no important competition in Tokyo for some time. Because the national team competition, until September 12, the League will start again, and during this period, only the last eight stage of the League Cup competition to play, this round of competition can be used to experiment with new tactics.
Last season, Tokyo won the League Cup, they are willing to celebrate, but this season, with the Asian championship to play, city Fuhao for the League Cup is not very eye-catching. Different cup, the weight is different, the top four of the Asian championship, compared with the League Cup champion, also worth more attention. Anyway, because of the Asian championship this year, the team did not put forward the requirements of the domestic cup for Cheng Fuhao. The League Cup is a good way to experiment with new tactics.
When September 1 comes, in the match with Qingshui heartbeat, Cheng Fuhao doesn't send out all the main players of the team. Yoshino Kono went to play for the national team at this time. If he was not in the team, of course he couldn't play. Mori Chongzhen and Bruno formed the defense line. Among the others, he also chose to let Gao shunyao and Yongjing Qianyou take turns. On the forward line, he replaced Suzuki Daye, and on the left side, he used Tanabe Caomin.
It seems that he wants to have a try. If he doesn't need the high center to stay in front and cooperate with the ground, can he have more opportunities? People immediately have their own understanding of his adjustment.But the fact told him that Tokyo did not have the capital to play so much. Although he specially arranged the tactics and used small players to strengthen the team's passing ability, he still easily defeated them in the game. After half a season's defensive counterattack, it's unrealistic for them to immediately change to technical flow. They lost the ball constantly in the game. On the contrary, Maehara yoshiji, who is beating with clear water, played well and scored two goals in the game. He told Tokyo with the facts that they can't try to play like this.
After the first round of the League Cup defeat, the second round of the League Cup, Tokyo still did not make much effort, this game, although Gao shunyao was replaced, but Yongjing Qianyou was replaced. It seems that Cheng Fuhao still wants to try again. What will happen if he replaces Yongjing Qianyou with a better skilled grasshopper. He tried to increase his attacking power by opening the attack on the left. Unfortunately, the grassroots didn't play enough. Technically, he couldn't give Gao shunyao enough support. On the strength, he lacked the hardness of Yongjing Qianyou's counterattack. He couldn't share the pressure for Gao shunyao. Gao shunyao had to play left and right in the front court. He had to run and shoot, and he had to do dirty work. Gao shunyao couldn't split himself into two, so this time Tokyo is still not winning.
One loss and one draw, the League Cup in Tokyo, early loss out. Although the Carling Cup is not an important game, and people are also very clear that Tokyo has the Asian Champions League to play, I'm afraid it was intended to give up the Carling Cup early. However, the way Tokyo lost was not because they used all the substitutes, but because they made a wrong tactical attempt. That's funny.
It seems that Cheng Fuhao wants to find a way to deal with Samsung in these two games, but his efforts have no effect at all. For a while, the media are laughing at Cheng Fuhao's wrong attempt. His idea is really bad.
"Maybe what Cheng Fuhao should do is to be more rational, give up the Asian championship, and then wait for Aoshan Yangping to come back."
In the media, some people have questioned Cheng Fuhao: obviously, people can see that his adjustment is for the Asian championship. Otherwise, he can not move the back line. Anyway, the Asian championship is over. In October, he should be back. He's trying to do this for the Champions League.
Yaguan Tokyo has gone far enough, they can give up completely. Moreover, no matter how you look at it, the adjustment of Cheng Fuhao seems not very smart.
However, soon, in the face of Kawasaki striker's game, people realized that the city Fuhao adjustment, in the end is doing.
In the face of Kawasaki striker's game, Gao shunyao was put on the bench. In this game, the team chose to let him rest in rotation, so as to have more energy and physical strength to cope with the game after three days.
This adjustment fully illustrates Tokyo's idea. If it's not for the Champions League, they have no reason to put their team's efficient strikers on the bench. If this adjustment is not enough to explain the problem, another adjustment will make people understand their ideas more clearly.
Tokyo's back court, and the previous two League Cup matches out of the same line-up, without change, this time, appeared in the back line, is the combination of Mori Chongren and Bruno, and now yetaiko and Takahashi xiuren together, was placed in the back position.
Compared with the rotation of the front court, this adjustment is what attracts people's attention. Compared with attack, Cheng Fuhao pays more attention to the adjustment of defense.
Tokyo's defensive quality decline is the result of the poor state of Keno Taiko. In today wild lucky play is not good, city blessing Hao obviously under ruthless. Let Sen Zhongren play the main force, and his adjustment, let Kono Taixing become a midfield, is an absolutely wise move.
Kono's defensive ability and position selection ability are known as the first in Japan. In the back position, his defense is often better than the real back. With Yokohama injured, it's hard for Park Chu ho to kick out the scene required by Tokyo, and it's obviously an excellent choice to put Keno Taiko in this position.
In this game, Tokyo finally got back its defense in the first half of the season. In the game, Kawasaki forward almost a decent opportunity to find, in the confrontation between the two teams, although Tokyo because the main forward did not go and almost no goals, but they rely on defense, got a 0-0 draw.
The score of 0-0 is not to be proud of. However, it is absolutely something that can make the players in Tokyo happy not to lose the ball.
This proves that, in the face of Suwon Samsung's competition, in addition to Gao shunyao's spear, they also recovered the solid shield they should have.
