After a long time with no sponsor, Avispa found one with the Everlife Group. In my opinion, the sponsor looks shit with the big yellow stripe. It looks like "Hey, there is free space for a sponsor *SPLASH* ...Ok, it looks awful but we have a sponsor!!!" That must be the way Avispa officials tought.
I really don't like it, but i'm happy we can earn a bit money we need so badly.
Nothing special here. The worked was done after 2 minutes with the 1:0 from Yutaka Takahashi. Alex made his first game of the season after he was subbed in for Kurobe, who replaced injured Jumbo Okubo. Now we are unbeaten in 5 games with 4 wins and 1 draw and back in buisness as far we can say in this early time of the season. So we are are ready for the Avispa Helldays in May!
Avispa played 1:1 at the first Kyushu Derby 2009 against Roasso Kumamoto. We had big luck, because Roasso had a few big chances and outshoted us with 10 to 15 shots, but Yoshida had another great day and kept his goal clean. Hisashi Jogo scored a superb goal after he took a cross from Nakajima volley in the 34th minute. In the 67th minute, Nagira "fouled" Roasso-forward Satoshi Nakayama and the referee showed to the point. No chance for Yoshida, 1:1. Kiyokazu Kudo celebraited his comeback after a long injury. Kiyo was subbed in for Jogo in the 79th minute.
The foul before the PK is no foul, Nagira pushed him down ...
The Derby had all what you want at a Derby! It was very exciting with alot of chances for both sides. Kiyo celebraited his comeback and Avispa played with the new sponsor for the first time, but more about that later.
Avispa's U-18 prospect Masato Yoshihara played with Japan's U-18 1:1 against UAE's U-18 in a friendly U-18 tournament in Al Ain, UAE. Yoshihara played from the beginning The UAE's scored the 1:0 in the 25th minute, but Shuhei Akasaki, from Saganishi High School in Saga, scored the 1:1 in the 25th minute to tie the game.
So, we are well prepeart for the first Kyushu Derby in 2009 against Roasso Kumamoto at home next sunday. Takahashi should be very motivate at that game against his old club. But we should be careful, because Roasso destroyed Consadole with 4:0 today, so they got a motivation-boost too.
