Chapter 126 Returning to the Quarterfinals
During the training for the AFC Champions League, Yu Tian was somewhat worried about the team's poor state, but Yu Tian had no clue, but from the training point of view, since Yu Tian lost his temper, the players' state has improved.
But even so, Jingcheng Qianda still leads the Chinese Super League, and the second-leading Gzhou Evergrande has as many as 8 points. During the decline of Jingcheng Qianda, the teams behind did not seize the opportunity well.
Moreover, there are only 6 rounds left in the league, and Beijing Qianda has no FA Cup matches. Next, Yu Tian can focus on the league and the AFC Champions League.
With the outstanding performance of Jingcheng Qianda for two consecutive seasons, it seems that everyone has forgotten that Jingcheng Qianda is only a youth club that has only played in the Huachao for two years, and everyone's requirements for Jingcheng Qianda have also increased a lot.
For the match between Beijing Qianda and Osaka Gamba, the fans of Beijing Qianda are also looking forward to it. In the AFC Champions League last season, Yu Tian and Jingcheng Qianda fell here, losing to Gzhou Evergrande, and because Gzhou Evergrande eliminated Jingcheng Qianda.
The domestic media are also paying close attention to the game of Beijing Qianda. All Huaxia fans are looking forward to the spectacle that two Huachao teams will advance to the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League at the same time.
Regarding the discussion outside, Yu Tian knew that the pressure suddenly increased a lot. Yu Tian remembered that in Yu Tian's previous life, G State Evergrande won the final championship in this season's AFC Champions League, so it was no surprise that G State Evergrande defeated Jeonbuk Hyundai to advance to the next round.
On August 8th, the first round of the AFC Champions League Quarterfinals, Yu Tian and Beijing Qianda played against Gamba Osaka at home. Yu Tian waited for this day for a whole year, and Yu Tian looked forward to making club history again.
Sure enough, as Yu Tian expected, in yesterday's match between G State Evergrande and Jeonbuk Hyundai, G State Evergrande beat Jeonbuk Hyundai 3-0, won the first round, and has already taken half a step to advance to the next round.
In this game, Yu Tian played the best 4-2-3-1 formation.
Goalkeeper: 1 Wei Qi;
Defenders: 5 Ding Haifeng, 4 Huang Yi, 27 Wang Xiaoyong, 2 Ma Jianming;
Midfield: 16 Zhang Yaotian, 6 Fernandez, 10 Augusto, 8 Song Xuefeng, 7 Li Long;
Forwards: 9 Falcao;
In this game, Yu Tian still played with all the main players. Fernandez, Augusto and Song Xuefeng were in the midfield. Li Long was still on the right. Although Zhang Yaotian was not as radiant as Li Long, nor as powerful as Li Long, nor as strong as Ye Bo, he was very versatile. Although not as good as Ye Bo and Li Long, Zhang Yaotian's breakthrough ability was not bad, and his passing ability was also good.
Gamba Osaka has a long history as one of the powerhouses of the J-League. It was established in 1980 and officially changed its name to "Gamba Osaka" in 1992. The "Gamba" in the team name translates to Gamba, which means "foot" in Italian, but "effort" in Japanese.
And their jerseys are somewhat similar to Inter Milan’s jerseys. They are blue and black jerseys with blue and black as the main color. Yu Tian is more familiar with them. The Chinese media praised him for joining the European giants sooner or later, but Tang Anlu is only 98 years old and has not yet gained a foothold in Gamba Osaka, so Tang Anlu did not even make the squad for this game.
The second is Usami Takashi, who joined the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich on loan in 2011 and the Bundesliga underdog Hoffenheim on loan in 2012, but he didn’t get too many opportunities. Both were given up by two Bundesliga teams. 2016 for Augsburg, although there are rumors that the actual transfer fee did not even reach 150 euros.
Unlike Doan, Takashi Usami is already the main force of the team. He can play the positions of attacking midfielder, forward and winger. He has a potential of 143 points and an ability of 130 points. He has scored 21 goals in the league, cup and AFC Champions League this season. He is Gamba Osaka's current golden boot.
Speaking of Gamba Osaka, what I have to say is of course Gao Junyi who was loaned from Beijing Qianda. Gamba Osaka loaned Gao Zhunyi originally for the purpose of rotation, but because of his experience in Beijing Qianda, Gao Junyi’s ability has reached his peak, and his ability has reached 116 points. Although Gamba Osaka is not a core player, he has become the main central defender of Gamba Osaka.
Gao Zhunyi played 18 games in the J-League this season, 16 of which started the game. Not only did he protect Gamba Osaka’s defense very well, but he also scored 2 goals.
The recent sluggish state of Jingcheng Qianda has also been noticed by the media in the island country, which also makes Gamba Osaka a lot happier. After all, their opponents have defeated too many strong teams in the J-League.
Few of the media now satirizes the average age of Beijing Qianda, because the facts have proved that these young players are indeed young and promising, but the head coach of Gamba Osaka, Kenta Hasegawa, has spoken out.
Hasegawa Kenta publicly questioned Yu Tian in an interview, saying that Yu Tian's vision was overestimated by too many media, and he continued to promote young players, which somewhat seemed to be counterproductive.
A strong player like Gao Zhunyi was put on the loan list by Yu Tian. Maybe Yu Tian has his own unique understanding of the team's tactics, but the young lineup makes them very unstable. This is also the reason for the recent downturn of Jingcheng Qianda. He is confident that he can defeat the powerful Jingcheng Qianda.
Yu Tian also heard this interview. His first reaction was not anger. His first reaction was that Kenta Hasegawa was really interested in Gao Junyi. Yu Tian also learned about one of the reasons for the team's recent downturn through Kenta Hasegawa.
It is true that the average age is too low, which may indeed be the cause of the team's instability. Yu Tian also knew the purpose of Kenta Hasegawa's interview, and hastily bombarded him publicly, which is not what a seasoned head coach like Kenta Hasegawa would say.
Of course Kenta Hasegawa has his purpose. Firstly, he wants to anger the young Yu Tian. Anger leads to chaos, which is always a mistake that young head coaches often make.
Although he had guessed Kenta Hasegawa's purpose, Yu Tian had to lament Kenta Hasegawa's sophistication. The tit-for-tat of the head coach before the game is also a must for an excellent head coach, but Yu Tian had to admit that he was too immature in this regard.
After players from both sides came out of the player tunnel one after another, Yu Tian was excited at the coach's bench because he came to the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League again after a year.
