Chapter 129 Will it follow the script?
In addition to the championship battle among the league fans, the annual relegation battle is the most exciting.

Although the championship team is exciting, it is not as thrilling as the relegation battle. Tokyo Green has lost two rounds and fell back into the relegation zone. Naturally, it has become the focus of the media. After all, Tokyo Green has just won the Emperor's Cup and will determine next year's AFC Champions League Entry quota.

You must know that in the AFC Champions League, Japan only has four places. If the Luyin team is relegated to J2, it can be said that since 93
It is the first relegated team to participate in the AFC Champions League since the start of the Japanese League in [-].

Of course, you can also say that the relegation match was just implemented last year, but at that time the quota for the AFC Champions League had already been determined, so Luyin just caught up with this time this year. You can put it another way, that is, there is the Japanese Relegation League with the AFC Champions League. started.

The Green Team has this news in hand, so it's no wonder that the media will pay such attention to it.

Wang Qi has been doing recovery training for the past few days. The team's two-game losing streak has resulted in the relegation zone. Every player is not in a good mood, especially the intentional abandonment of yesterday's game, which made Wang Qi even more depressed.

Seeing that his partner was not in a good mood, Shinji Kagawa came over and said: "Actually, not only you, but other teammates are not very good. After all, we have never experienced this kind of relegation game, so for a while everyone felt uneasy. In the end, at this time, you should trust the coach even more..."

Hearing Shinji Kagawa's words, Wang Qi nodded slightly, but he still couldn't help asking a question: "What if the team really falls into J2?"

Hearing Wang Qi's words, Kagawa Shinji shook his head and said: "I really didn't expect it, but for me, if there is such a day, we will just kick it up. For me, I am no longer like The team is gone, whether it is relegated or stays in the J1 league, this will be my only team, but you are different, these days, many teams are asking you and Park Sung for offers, but I still hope that I can continue to partner with you..."

Shinji Kagawa's words represent the thoughts of the vast majority of people in Tokyo Green. They have feelings for this team. The older players no longer care whether the team will be relegated or not. They will play every game well.

As for players like Pu Cheng and Takahashi Yoichi, they hope to remain in the J1 league in the future, so that some players like Wang Qi will work harder to win, and some are already planning to find other teams.

These situations were directly reflected in the match against Qingshui, Pu Cheng wasted several chances, and the whole court was indifferent. Wang Qi fought very hard in this match, and the final result was 1:1.

Even though Wenger was in a calm state of mind, after the game result came out, he couldn't help kicking away the mineral water bottle on the sidelines.

This scene happened to be photographed by a reporter. The next day's news was "The head coach of the Tokyo Green Team is very good". What's more, some football newspapers directly interpreted this signal as Wenger who was angry from embarrassment, or Wenger who was helpless .

No matter what the reason was, Park Sung was dropped by Fran again in this game. What surprised him even more was that it was the first time that Park Sung was on the bench against the Sendai team.

Such a move can be said to be directly out of the game when Park Sung is competing for the league's top scorer Golden Boot award.

0:1
The Tokyo Green team finally won the goal in the last away game. This is Wenger winning the game with a 6-3-1 formation.

Now Tokyo Green is on the verge of relegation and relegation. The reason why Wenger gave up the first two games was to win the third and fourth from the bottom. The Bureau can go ashore safely.

But the current situation has completely ruined Wenger's plan. Although football is round, there will always be things that surprise you.

But the relegation battle is the moment when every firefighting coach or team head coach can show his talent the most.

In fact, Wenger at this time did not have the godfather-like demeanor at Arsenal.

But at this time, Wenger was definitely the most temperamental, tried the most, and showed the most talent. In order to help the Tokyo Green team relegation, Wenger struggled to come up with a game plan with a [-]% chance after the Emperor's Cup final.

If you think it’s just a matter of giving up one or two games and focusing on the remaining games, then you are wrong. Many people have used this method, but some people can succeed and continue to succeed, while others fail. .

Not only the understanding of the team, the state of the opponent, but also the courage to affirm one's own tactics.

But so many fans and club officials wanted Wenger to fight recklessly, but Wenger gave up.

Not only that, the plan did not go as smoothly as Wenger expected. At this time, it showed the level of a coach even more.

"If we win tomorrow's game, everyone will be happy. We can make sure we will relegation one round earlier. If we lose, then we must win the next game. We still need to get three points. This is the safest score. , Another possibility is that if the two games are tied, then we will have to look at another opponent. Our complete destiny is completely controlled by the results of the Osaka Sakura and Tosu Sandstone. This result is definitely not what we want. Yes, as long as the Tosu team draws, we will be eliminated, and we have to take our own destiny into our own hands, you know?" Wenger said before the game against Kashima.

"Yes, I understand the coach..."

In fact, how is it possible that Wenger did not want to fight with the Kashima team. Although the performance of the Kashima team in the past few years in the league was not satisfactory, but before the professional league, the Kashima team can be said to be the strongest.

Even when the professional league was established in the first year, Kashima Antlers was known as the strongest team in the Japanese Professional League, with a record-breaking 7 domestic important championships. Even Gamba Osaka, Urawa Red Diamonds and Osaka Sakura could not compete with it compared to.

It's a pity that after entering the professional league, it may be due to adaptation, but they have not had good results, but they are definitely not a weak team, on the contrary, they are very strong. Even the Urawa Red Diamonds, who are currently ranked first in the league, have been defeated.

The reason why this state is maintained now is that this team does not seem to be able to play in the league. It is always strong in the first half and weak in the second half. Even so, with the points in the first half, it can be determined Advantages of relegation.

In addition, when encountering such a team in the relegation battle, although they have no desires, they are different from the first two teams that Wenger pre-determined to win,
They play very aimlessly, that's Wenger's opinion, they work hard on their home ground, which is one of the reasons why Kashima fans are the most loyal to the team.

The Kashima team, which is playing at home, only fights for the fans, to support their fans, so generally they will work hard regardless of whether it is an important game or not.

This is also why the Kashima team's home game is one of the most terrifying home games in the league. If it is an away game, Wenger would definitely wish for it, because the performance of this team in the away game can be said to be even better than some J2 teams.

Take a look at the current roster of the Kashima team. The top scorer David bought from J2 is leading the team. Captain Mitsuo Ogasawara, midfielder Endo Yasushi, Nakata Koji, Honda Takuya and goalkeeper Zeng Duanzhun have all been selected for the best list. .

, This is why Wenger has a headache.

In this way, Wang Qi followed his teammates to the home court of Kashima to start their most important game. If they lose this game, the next game will be the current league champion Urawa Red Diamonds. Three confrontations...
