Step by Step to Win

"Hello everyone, everyone, this is the AFC Champions League round six knockout match between Tokyo and Beijing Guoan. I am Kitazawa. I will explain this game for everyone. We all know that the World Cup is coming soon. This game is going to be on. The most eye-catching game in half the season. We will wait and see how the game will win or lose."

Sitting in the studio, Kitazawa explained the upcoming game with a hint of excitement. The AFC knockout round has arrived. Watching Tokyo face Beijing Guoan at their home court, Kitazawa is also a little excited when he thinks of their advantages.

The match between Tokyo and Beijing on May 11 can be said to be the last compelling match in the first half of this season. Although everyone knows that after this game, on May 15th, Tokyo's game against Gamba Osaka was the last match of their first half of the season. However, everyone knows that Tokyo and Gamba are in the same game. For teams that have games in the middle of the week, they will inevitably go all out for this game, especially Gamba will go to the away game. No one will think that the game after returning is meaningful.

“Beijing Guoan was the champion of the Chinese Super League last season. They eliminated Melbourne Victory and Hiroshima Sanfrecce in the group stage, which proved their strength. This team is a strong team, and it faces Tokyo’s During the game, they seem to have adjusted their lineup so that they can play better."

For Beijing Guoan, Bei Zehao is not the first time to explain their game this season. It is not that he did not watch the two defeats of Hiroshima Sanfrecce. To Guoan this team. Bei Zehao still knows very well, looking at their lineup, Bei Zehao can even analyze their thoughts.

Beijing's lineup is still quite strong. The goalkeeper Yang Zhi's strength is quite good, and on the back line, Xu Yunlong leads Wu Hao, Zhou Ting and Rose several outstanding guards. Moving forward, Beijing uses Ma Jiqi, Huang Bowen and Yan Xiangchuang. Joel Griffith and Xu Liang are avant-garde. Griffith is in the middle, and the other two are on the wings. At the forefront of the team is Otto, as the single forward.

It can be seen that Beijing's lineup is also quite good. At least in terms of foreign aid, there are more of them than Tokyo. Scottish defender Ross, Croatian midfielder Majic, Australian striker Griffith, and Brazil striker Otto, Beijing Guoan has as many as four foreign players on the field, at least this is what Shandong Luneng can't compare. Among other players, in addition to Wu Hao and Yan Xiangchuang, other players have also been selected to the national team-and. According to recent rumors, Yan Xiangchuang should be selected for the national team with Gao Shunyao in May of this year. In this team. Yang Zhi, Xu Yunlong, and Ma Jiqi are all top players and they are not weak anywhere.

In this way, their only shortcoming is their defender Wu Hao-but Wu Hao is a player with a height of 1.92 meters and a body similar to Gao Shunyao. The reason why he appeared on the court was also a targeted arrangement made by Beijing in order to better defend Gao Shunyao. For the AFC. Beijing seems to be at least more prepared than Luneng. They are not prepared to come and die.

Unlike them, the overall lineup in Tokyo has not changed much. The only change they have is the defensive line, Bruno was replaced by Moriju, and in midfield, Kajiyama Yohei was replaced by Park Zhuhao.

In Beijing's lineup, the most threatening player in the frontcourt is Griffith. This player has a flexible movement but a poor body. He was in the forward position last season, but this season, with high center Otto, Beijing withdrew him to the midfielder position, making him more flexible and increasing his threat. Although Otto, who Beijing originally hoped to be able to form a combination with him, is a high center forward, he has a relatively slow pace at his feet. After arriving in Beijing, he has been unable to blend in, which also makes people feel that he is not a threat. Facing such an opponent, Tokyo enhanced his sense of position in the backcourt in order to better block Griffith.

Above the midfield, Tokyo also made an adjustment. As a defensive midfielder, Yohei Kajiyama, despite his outstanding skills, is not particularly strong. This game is a fierce battle, and Tokyo is also worried that his confrontation will cause problems. Compared with him, Park Joo-ho, a South Korean player, works harder in running and intercepting. He is in the midfield and can better block the attacks of Beijing players.

For Beijing Guoan, Tokyo is still very careful. After all, in the group stage, they double-killed the Japanese team, which also proved that they were definitely not weak when they played against the J-League team. The knockout round has already begun, and Tokyo can't tolerate any sloppy. They need to treat their opponents 200% seriously.

Even if this opponent is not very strong in the rumors, but standing on the opposite side, then you can't underestimate it-looking at the formation of the players on the opposite side, Gao Shunyao said this to himself in his heart.

This time, Beijing was able to break through the siege and enter the AFC Champions League knockout round, which is quite surprising. Gao Shunyao had heard a lot of bad things about Beijing Guoan when he was in China before, so he has always had the impression that the real strength of the Beijing Guoan team is not as good as it seems. However, this year's AFC Champions League Guoan came to the fore, and Gao Shunyao slightly changed his views. After all, being able to reach the AFC knockouts at least proves that Beijing Guoan still has a certain strength in the Asian arena. They may not be as weak as people say.

This is a close match-Gao Shunyao doesn't seem to underestimate his opponent. And his idea, not long after the start of the game, was verified.

At the beginning of the game, Beijing Guoan and Tokyo began a fierce confrontation. Just like Tokyo imagined, Beijing Guoan entered a high-tempo game from the beginning and wanted to beat Tokyo by surprise.

"Beijing started offensively... the overall tactics of this team are more biased towards offense. Their playing style is more similar to the tactics of Manchester United in 1999. The difference is that they need to be reversed. Xu Liang on the left is good at passing. , Yan Xiangchuang on the right is good at breaking through. Their lineup is not suitable for playing defensive football, and they did not choose to defend in away games. This can be regarded as good news for Tokyo. The opponent's active attack is equivalent to losing. I'm in Tokyo's grasp."

Seeing Beijing rushing to attack as soon as he came up, the expression of another commentator, Cheng Zhangji, also relaxed a lot. On the one hand, he talked about Beijing's tactics, and on the other hand, he also determined that Tokyo had the advantage. He has become more and more familiar with the characteristics of Tokyo now. This team plays a bit awkward and likes to fight back in the backcourt. He has already understood it. It's definitely not a bad thing that such a team likes to attack when encountering opponents.

However, Shiro Akira has forgotten that there are no absolutes in the world. He always likes to stand firm and wait for the opponent to attack the team, and it is inevitable that he will not encounter problems.

After Guoan opened the game, his offense was very sharp. Leaning on Yan Xiangchuang and Rose on his right, they also formed a good defensive combination on the right. The offensive abilities of these two men are pretty good, they have a certain short-range explosive ability, the cooperation of the two, plus Griffith who has a wide range of activities in the midfield, the three of them teamed up, and they caught Tokyo by surprise from the beginning. .

In the face of the opponent's rapid attack, Nagatomo Yuto was struggling to defend. And Pu Zhuhao suddenly ascended to the main position, and he didn't control his emotions. Soon after the start of the game, in a defense, Park Zhuhao directly knocked down Yan Xiangchuang and brought himself a yellow card.

His lack of calmness made him suffer, and more importantly, it was not just himself but the Tokyo team that suffered. This time the foul was not far in front of the penalty area. This is a good free kick location.

"Xu Liang of the Beijing team has a very high level of free kicks. If you only talk about free kicks, his level should be second to none in the Super League. Tokyo needs to be careful about his ability to set kicks. This person is a big threat..."

For this free kick, Cheng Zhanger's commentary has not been finished, Beijing has already given the ball, and as Cheng Zhanger said, Xu Liang is definitely a big threat.

Direct free kick!

Xu Liang kicked a direct free kick, bypassing the wall, and flew directly towards the goal. Although Tokyo's defensive tactics are adequate, they still have nothing to do with a sudden free kick. This is a direct confrontation between the goalkeeper and the player, and no one else can intervene.

And this free kick was obviously won by Xu Liang. His shot brushed the left post of the goal and flew into the goal. Kwonta Shuichi judged the right direction, but his defense didn't work. At the beginning of the game, Tokyo lost a ball.

"Tokyo is in a bit of trouble this time. Beijing took the lead in scoring the goal. Tokyo is also facing some dangers. Tokyo has averaged less than two goals per game this season. Their defense is very stable, but their offense is very poor. For Beijing’s defense, I don’t know if they can successfully counterattack..."

Looking at the celebrating Beijing players, Kitazawa frowned. Lost a set ball at the beginning, which is definitely a very unfavorable situation for Tokyo.

The game may be evenly matched ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but luck is not.

It shouldn't be difficult for Tokyo to score two goals when there was Kabore, but now without Kabore, how could it be so easy to score two goals? Especially the Japanese players are not fools. Seeing that they have an advantage, it is strange that they don't want to fight back.

The level of Japanese players is not bad. If they counterattack, the effect will be very good. When Tokyo comes up, it is equivalent to handing over the initiative to the opponent.

"It's troublesome now, I hope there is a way in Tokyo..."

Losing the ball at the start is definitely not a good sign. However, if there is anything that can make Tokyo fans feel at ease, there is no doubt that Gao Shunyao running on the court is one of the important factors.

In the six group matches, Gao Shunyao has scored four goals in the AFC Champions League. In the AFC Champions League, his scoring efficiency is second to none. In this game, whether Tokyo can score a goal is all up to him.

If there is anything beyond the evenly matched, it is definitely the player's personal ability. (To be continued)
