Nagai called up for nationalteam!

Fukuoka University's big talent and our designate player Kensuke Nagai who is one of the biggest forward-talents in Japan, was called up for the nationalteam-squad for the Yemen-game!!!
Nagai is just one out of Okada's very young squad, with players like Tokyo's Gonda and Yonemoto, Nagoya's Kanazaki or Kashima's Osako.

The Asian Cup-quali game will be played on 6th of january.
Avispa should sign him before this game, because nobody know how good or bad he will play in this game. If he play good, he will grow the interests of other clubs. So Avispa, please sign him as quick as possible!

From the top to Tokyo bay's south?

Sports newspaper Sports Hochi reported, that the Yokohama F. Marinos wants to sign Hokuto with a loan deal.
Hokuto should replace Takanobu Komiyama who is close to sign with 2009 2nd placed and Nabisco Cup-finalist Kawasaki Frontale.
It would be a good desicion, because with Yuhei Tokunaga and Naohiro Ishikawa, who are current nationalteam-members, it's very hard to get playing time on his right side.
Hokuto would meet some old Kunimi-friends like at FCT. Hokuto played together with Shingo Hyodo and Rookie of the Year and Marinos' goalgetter Kazuma Watanabe at his high school-time in his hometown Nagasaki.

Hokuto's 2009 in Tokyo

It was a so-so-season for our beloved dude in the blue-red jersey of the capital club.
Just before the season, Hokuto got injured in a game agaisnt J2-side Consadole Sapporo and was out for a long time. Hokuto made his first game against Yokohama F. Marinos at Nissan Stadium on J1's 12th round.He came on as a substitute for Yohei Kajiyama and just 7 minutes later, he scored his first goal for his new club!



After this great start, everything was looking good and Hokuto came on as a sub again in the next game, but in the Nabisco Cup group stage, he got injured again against Montedio Yamagata.
After he got through this injury, he played a game, didn't play, played, didn't play...
Hokuto shot another cracker at the Emperor's Cup 3rd round-game against J2-side Thespa Kusatsu with a great freekick.



Just a few days before, Hokuto and F.C. Tokyo celebraited a big 2:0-win against Tokyo bay-rival Kawasaki Frontale in the Nabisco Cup-final at National Stadium Kokuritsu in Tokyo.
Hokuto was in the squad, but didn't make it on pitch...
It was the first title for Hokuto in his career and the 2nd for F.C. Tokyo, after they win this cup back in 2004 against Urawa Reds.



In the last 3 games, Hokuto started as a starter on Naohiro Ishikawa's season, who played a monster-season. Hokuto didn't looked so bad and scored a really, really nice goal at today's season-final against Albirex Niigata at Niigata "Big Swan" Stadium.



Hokuto's Stats 2009
Games: 10
Goals: 2
Minutes on pitch: 380
Nabisco Cup Winner 2009
Emperor's Cup goals: 1

GOOD LUCK IN 2010!!!

[J2-R51] Yokohama 2-2 Avispa

Well, the season is over...and it ended with a little teardrop
All started good with a goal from Jumbo in the 19th minute.
After a foul on Suzuki, Kudo played a quick freekick, same idea against Kofu, and passed to Jumbo.
The Yokohama-defence was not ready for that, like Kofu's, so Jumbo was all alone and scored the 0:1. In the 39th minute, Yokohama's Hayakawa scored the 1:1 after a cornerkick.
Nanba took the 2:1-lead for YFC in the 72th, so we had alot of pressure to not lose this final game and the 3-unbeaten games-row. We missed some chances, but in the 87th minute, Yokohama's keeper made a big mistake. It was a goal from the ones, who will leave the team. Daisuke Nakaharai played a cross into the box. The keeper dropped the ball with his hands just in front of Kurobe, who just turned arround and scored the 2:2-end result.

The teardrop of this game is, that we didn't take the chance to make it to the TOP10.
Our contender, Thespa Kusatsu won at the same time at home against Tochigi SC with 3:2, so both team got the same number of points with 65, but Thespa got the better goal-difference with -12 to -19 on our side, so we ended this season on 11th place.
