Thanks from Avispa!

Thank you guys!

4 Guys will leave us and we want to say thank you!

Takanori Nunobe
Ufuk Talay
Mark Rudan
Shingo Honda


Nuno was one of our vice-captains this season. With his much expericence he lead the team very well and he didn't need the captains armband for it. He stayed with us in 3 hard seasons and he really kept the team togehter!


Talay was the best of the 4 Aussies we had in the last 2 seasons. He really impressed and was not one of the foreigners who come to Japan and want to make the fast money and then leave the islands as quick as possible. Ufuk really deserves this money with 5 goals and we keep him good in our mindes.


Mark was injured the most of the season and couldn't show what he's good for. Too bad for him, but we want to thank him that he stayed with us the whole season.



Shingo was just a sub, but he did his job well

Kudo in hospital

Midfielder Kiyokazu Kudo went to hospital in Fukuoka City on tuesday for a athroscopy because of his knee-injury.
Everything worked well and now he got enough time to rest over the christmas days :)
Let's hope he can join the team as quick as possible.

Thanks!

After a little time of sadness and frustration, we should be proud of our team and look forward to the new season and the new challanges!
We don't have to hide somewhere after we failed the expactations of the experts, because our team showed great heart, even we lost the view to our season-goal pretty early, but we ended the season 2008 with dignity and I'm sure we will be one of the favourites for a place in the top in 2009 again.

WE ARE PROUD OF YOU GUYS!
THANK YOU AVISPA!

Hi friends and readers! :)

Hey guys,
i told you before that i nearly missed the whole season because of the shitty internet here and i wanted to tell you that I will try to write here regulaly for now on :)

The sidebar with table, topscorer will be closed and clean for now on
I work on it when the new season starts.

I can't write a season review because i missed the most
all i can write is .....disappointing......
The good news is that i will start with some rumors and moves to the new season soon :)

So I apologize again for my days off and wish you good days from the snowy Germany!
MATA-NE!!!

Avispa - Yokohama 0:0

Just a result to stuck....
Hi, I'm back after a long time and i see Avispa is still stucking at the mid-table.
We always had the chance to move up because there was just 7-9 points to the uper ranks, but we didn't take the chances we had.

Today we played against Yokohama FC at home but we can't score a goal in 90 minutes...
Do we still get the chance to go to J1? I don't know ... please answer

Sorry, that i don't wrote a report now.
The sidebar will be update in the next season, because i was off for a long time and this would to much work to get all the informations.

Thanks

Problems

Hi Avispa-Fans and friends,

GO AVISPA!

Thank you

Avispa - Kumamoto 2:4

VS.

Another shadow result...
We lost the second Kyushu-Derby against the new J2 member Roasso Kumamoto with 2:4.
It began very well with a early goal from Tatsuya Okubo, but Avispa, like most of the time this season, couldn't keep the lead and Kumamoto scored 2 goals in just two minutes.
Roasso-forward Yutaka Takahashi scored the two goals and the lead for his team. Just a few minutes before the halftime-break Joel Griffiths scored the tie.
We outshooted Roasso with 14:7, but nearly every shot from them ended in our goal.
Tomoaki Komorida scored the 2:3 and Takahashi gave us fans another punch in the face with his 3rd and final goal of the game.
Now we are waiting since the first Kyushu-Derby against Tosu for another win.

Shonan - Avispa 4:0

VS.
And we fell asleep again
We lost against Shonan Bellmare with a dissappointing 4:0 at Hiratsuka today.
Litti has to rotate alot because regular Starting 11-members Ufuk Talay, Joel Griffiths and Kiyokazu Kudo missed the game. Teruaki Kurobe and Mark Rudan were not in squad also. So Litti put Nuno into the front, and Yamagata in the midfield.
Youngsters Jun Suzuki and Mike Havenaar, who was in the squad for the first time this year, were on bench.
Everything went wrong soon with two goals from Shonan in the first 15 minutes. Adiel scored in the 11th and Naoki Ishihara in the 14th minute.
After the dissappointing first half, Mike made his season-debut and replaced Nuno up front.
Just 7 minutes after the break Naoki Ishihara found the goal again and scored the 3:0 for his team. 2 minutes after the 3:0 Litti wanted to go offensive and subed in veteran Nakaharai for Toru Miyamoto and Jun Suzuki for Yamagata in the 58th.
Licoln, who played for us a very good season last year, gave us the K.O. with the 4:0 in the 88th minute.

It always seems like that we taking a 15 minute-nap at the locker room and the guys a not really awake after the break.

The next game is a really ultimatum-match for Litti or i have to report the bad news earlier.
Avispa have to react!!!
