Step by Step to Win

Chapter 184: Spear and Shield

People's ambitions will increase step by step with what you get. When the second half of the season started, seeing his team lose important players, Shiro Fuhao once thought that being able to relegation was his greatest fortune. But after the eight rounds, Tokyo's results not only did not go down, but continued to go up. This also made Shiro Fukuho, not only satisfied with the results, started to play the AFC Champions League.

This kind of thinking may be a bit of a long-term view, but for Cheng Fuhao, it is normal to consider the AFC: Although Tokyo is now doing better, it still looks more than relegated and hopeless to compete for the top three. With 34 points in 20 rounds, this kind of performance is arguably the most undecided for coaches: there is no performance to fight for in a season, and the season is too early, so he can't do nothing.

After the results of the league get better, the idea of ​​whether the AFC matches can go further has been harassing Cheng Fuhao, although the team's goal for him is to qualify for the AFC group, and he himself has exceeded the limit. Completed the task and brought the team to the quarter-finals. However, thinking about the current situation of the team, he also wants to try again to see if Tokyo can win another game or two in the AFC.

He himself hopes to do this: Last season, Tokyo made a historic top three, making him, a fledgling coach, also famous in one fell swoop. And this season, if he leads Tokyo to the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, it also proves that he does have the level, which will be of great benefit to his own career. and. He also believes that his players will also support this: After the World Cup, how many scouts watched the J-League, the players will certainly not be content to abuse food in the league. Only by playing on a higher level is it possible for him to get more people's attention.

However, this is not without risk: in the AFC Champions League, they encountered very strong opponents: in this round, they encountered the South Korean team Suwon Samsung. The Japanese team has never had an advantage against the South Korean team, and Suwon Samsung is considered to be South Korea's top strong team. It is not that difficult to face them. Tokyo's record against Pohang Steelers in the group stage was one win and one defeat. Also let this game, there are still doubts.

however. It seems that if you fight it, there is no loss left or right. Therefore, during this period, Seong Bok Ho has been studying Suwon Samsung.

There are three main South Korean internationals that this team needs to pay attention to: goalkeeper Li Yunjae. South Korea's chief national gate is almost the strongest goalkeeper in East Asia; defender Zhao Yuanxi, a player who once played for Wigan Athletic, has just been loaned back to Suwon Samsung. Midfielder Lien Ki-hoon, a very good breakthrough master, has tried out West Ham United, which can be said to be extremely threatening. The existence of these three people. Let Suwon Samsung have a lot of confidence to face any opponent.

Compared with the international team, Suwon Samsung's foreign aid seems to be a little worse. Because of injuries. There are only two foreign aids they can use in the game. The forward Mota in the frontcourt is the player who supported the midfield line by Suwon Samsung, and the defender Li Datou in the backcourt is a foreign aid from China.

The opponent had Chinese players, which surprised Cheng Fuhao. Across Asia, Chinese players are used as foreign aid. There may be only these two teams. It happens that these two teams met in the AFC Champions League. This coincidence made Cheng Fuhao lament the miraculous fate.

Apart from sighing, he was also thinking about what to do to make Tokyo win the game: after all, the two lost games by Tokyo have fully illustrated the problem: Tokyo's defense is in a bad state now, and the midfielder has been beaten by opponents. It is also easy to deform when pressed, and these are all obvious. If this kind of problem is not solved, it will be a big problem if you encounter a South Korean team.

How to build a good defensive line and midfield, this is what Tokyo needs to consider. In the first half of the season, Tokyo's defensive quality was quite high. In the second half of the season, with the departure of Nagatomo and the loss of Yasuyuki Konno's state, their defensive quality has also declined a lot. How to find their defense? Cheng Fuhao must consider issues.

Fortunately, after August 24, there will be no important games in Tokyo for a period of time. Because of the national team competition, the league will not restart until September 12, and during this period, only the quarter-finals of the League Cup competition will be played. This round of competition can be used to experiment with new tactics.

Last season, Tokyo won the League Cup, and they are willing to celebrate for it, but this season, with the AFC Champions League to play, Shiro Fukuho is not very interested in the League Cup. Different cups have different weights. The semi-finals of the AFC Champions League are worth more attention than the champions of the League Cup. Anyway, because of the AFC Champions League this year, the team did not give Cheng Fuhao a request for the domestic cup. The League Cup game was used to experiment with new tactics, which could not be better.

When September 1 came, and Shimizu's heartbeat match, Shiro Fukuhiro sent out not all the main players of the team. Yasukino Konano went to play for the national team at this time. He was not on the team, although he could not play. Mori Shige and Bruno formed the line of defense. Among the others, he also chose to let Gao Shunyao and Nagai Kensuke take turns off. At the forward line, he replaced Tatsuya Suzuki, and Tanabe Kusumi was used on the left.

It seems that he wants to try. If he doesn't have to go to the ground to cooperate with the high center forward, can he have more opportunities-for his adjustment, people immediately have their own understanding.

But the facts tell him that Tokyo does not have the capital to play so much. Although he specially arranged tactics and used small players to strengthen the team's passing ability, Shimizu's heartbeat still easily defeated them in the game. . After playing a defensive counterattack for half a season, it is unrealistic to immediately change to a technical flow. They lost the ball constantly during the game. On the contrary, Shimizu’s heartbeat played an excellent role in the game. The facts tell Tokyo that this is not something they can try.

After the miserable defeat in the first round of the League Cup, Tokyo still did not make much effort in the second round of the League Cup. In this game, although Gao Shunyao was replaced, Kensuke Nagai was replaced. It seems that Shiro Fukuhiro wants to try again, replacing Nagai Kensuke with a better-skilled Tanabe Kusumi. He tried to increase his attack power by opening the attack on the left. It's a pity that Tanabe Caomin did not perform to the sufficient level. Technically, he was not enough to support Gao Shunyao. In terms of strength, he lacked the hardness of Nagai Kenyou's anti-grabbing. He couldn't share the pressure on Gao Shunyao, making Gao Shunyao ahead. He played awkwardly from left to right, had to move and shoot, and had to do dirty work. Gao Shunyao couldn't split himself into two, so Tokyo still didn't win this time.

With one loss and one tie, Tokyo’s League Cup was defeated early. Although the League Cup is not an important game, and it is also clear that Tokyo has the AFC Champions League to play, I am afraid that I also wanted to give up the League Cup early. However, the way Tokyo lost was not because they used all the substitutes, but because they made the wrong tactical attempt. This is more funny.

It seems that Seong Fukho seems to want to find a way to deal with Suwon Samsung in these two games, but his efforts have not worked at all. For a while, the media also laughed at Cheng Fuhao's erroneous attempt. His idea was really terrible.

"Perhaps what Shiro Fukuho should do is to be more rational, give up the AFC Champions League, and then wait for Kajiyama Yohei to return."

In the media, some people have already questioned Cheng Fuhao: Obviously, people can see that his adjustment is for the AFC Champions League. Otherwise, he could not move the back line, anyway, the AFC Champions League game is over, in October, Kajiyama Yohei should be back. He must do this for the AFC Champions League.

AFC Tokyo has gone far enough, they can completely give up. Moreover, no matter how you look at it, Cheng Fuhao's adjustments don't seem to be very clever.

But soon, in the game against the Kawasaki striker, people realized what Shiro Fukuhiro's adjustment was doing.

In the game against the Kawasaki forward, Gao Shunyao was placed on the bench. In this game, the team chose to let him take turns to have more energy and physical strength to deal with the game three days later.

This adjustment more fully illustrates Tokyo's thinking. If it weren't for the AFC Champions League, they would have no reason to put their team's highly efficient striker on the bench. And if this adjustment is not enough to explain the problem, then another adjustment allows people to understand their thoughts even more.

In Tokyo’s backcourt, the same lineup as the previous two League Cup games was lined up without any changes. This time, it was the combination of Morishige and Bruno that appeared on the back line, while Konano Yasuyuki played with Takahashi. Together with Xiuren, they were placed in the position of the back waist.

Compared with the rotation of the frontcourt, this adjustment ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is the eye-catching place. Compared with offense, Cheng Fuhao pays more attention to the adjustment of defense.

The decline in Tokyo's defensive quality was caused by Konno's poor state. After Yasuyuki Konano played poorly, Shiro Fukuhiro was obviously cruel. Let Mori Shige kick the main force, and his adjustment to make Konano Yasuyuki a midfielder is definitely a wise move.

Yasuyuki Konno's defensive ability and selection ability are known as the first in Japan. In the midfielder position, his defense can often be better than a genuine midfielder. Kajiyama Yohei was injured, and it was difficult for Park Zhuhao to kick out the scene that Tokyo required, and it was obviously an excellent choice to put Konano Yasuyuki in this position.

In this game, Tokyo finally found his defense in the first half of the season. In the game, the Kawasaki striker could not find a decent chance. In the confrontation between the two teams, although Tokyo had almost no goals because the main striker did not come up, but they relied on the defense to get a game. A 0-0 draw.

A 0-0 score is not something to be proud of, but not conceding a ball is definitely something that can make Tokyo players happy.

This proves that, in addition to Gao Shunyao's sharp spear, they also recovered the strong shield they should have in the face of the Suwon Samsung game. (To be continued)
