Kosuke's own gift on his 25th

First of all, congrats to Kosuke! He celebrait his 25th birthday today! (01.09. in Japan already)
He made his own present with the final pass to Jogo and the 1:2-winning goal on sunday.
With the assist for Jogo's goal, Kosuke lift himself up to the 1st place of Avispa's Topscorerlist. Now he got 11 points from 8 goals and 3 assist. Genki follow him with 10 goals and Jumbo Okubo is on 3rd with 5 goals and 4 assists.

[J2-R24] Toyama 1-2 Avispa

Pretty hard game in Toyama, but we finally made it and took the 3 points with us home back to Fukuoka. Abe wasn't in the starting eleven like Yahoo reported and not even in the squad for todays game. Suzuki took the place next to Nakamachi. Son made it to the bench for the first time of the season.
The early 1:0 after just 2. minutes must have been a shock for us and destroyed Shino's plans.
The game seemed very even, when you look at the shots on the goal and it took a long time we made the first goal. After a long goalkick from Kamiyama, Jumbo, who was all alone, headed the ball to Jogo. Jogo past the Toyama-defenders with great fighting spirit and shot a rocket from the box-line right into the upper right corner of the goal! No chance for Toyama's keeper...
After the goal it seems like we produced some more chances. The 2nd goal came after we missed a corner chance. Toyama wanted to start a counterattack, but Nori was able to stop it. After two passes from Yusuke and Tanaka, Nakajima crossed the ball into the box, where Jumbo headed the ball to Nakamachi, who tunneled the ball to Jogo, who ran into the box. Jogo shot the ball into the net directly and switched the match for Avispa from a 1:0 into a 1:2!
3 important points! Now we are close to the showdown against Chiba at next round at LEVEL5!
This game will show if we are already ready for the J1!

Jogo's 1st

Jogo's 2nd

Abe to start against Toyama?

Yahoo report that Shu Abe will replace Toshiya Sueyoshi for the tomorrow away-game against Kataller Toyama. I would prefer Suzuki beside Nakamachi. He's more effective than Abe. Abe only played in the away-game against Kashiwa Reysol on Round 3.
That's the only change for the game.

Let's see how we will perform tomorrow. We are always so so at away games, but i'm pretty optimistic for the game. I hope the team don't feel the little pressure from Chiba's 4:0-victory against Fagi today. If we will win at Toyama, it will come to a showdown against Chiba at the Level5!

I hope Oka and Jogo will show another good performance tomorrow. I think they do well together and put alot of pressure on the goal in the last games. Both are good workers. Even when they're not real topscorers, ok, Jogo scored 2 against Kofu, but the pressure they put on the opponent-defence is good.

Kosuke's 2nd strike!

Kosuke Nakamachi was named 23th round's MVP by JsGoal.jp.
Nakamachi showed another awsome performance against Mito with 2 goals, so he's still on his run of the last weeks. Beside him, Genki, Nakajima and Nori (Yamagata) were also named in the 23th round's Best Eleven.

TRM vs. V-Varen

On Wednesday, Avispa played a trainingsmatch against JFL-side V-Varen Nagasaki.
The game ended with a goalless 0:0 after 90 minutes

Back!

Hey guys, i'm sorry i posted nothing in the last few weeks, but i was busy and was at holidays.
Now i'm trying to post regulaly again.

Bad news up first...
Masato Yoshihara suffred a bad cruciate ligamet injury and will be out for the rest of the season.

Now some good news!
What a stunning win against Mito! 5:0 with 4 awsome goals...but to be honest, Mito gave us big assists.
Sueyoshi scored his first goal of his young career. I'm becoming a big fan of him!
Now we are just 2 points behind 3rd place JEF United Chiba. Too bad we left some points at the seasons restart at Kusatsu and against Okayama, but now it's looking good again. The next match will be away against Toyama.
