Capitol Adventure Vol.7

Hokuto is injured again!
Here is the answer of aishiteru-tokyo-Blogger dokool, after i asked about Hokuto:

"He did take a bad knock in the Yamagata match a month ago, hence why he was substituted early in that game. The note from the team a day after the match said that he was examined at the hospital, had taken a knock, and would join the team as soon as the pain stopped. His last injury took far longer than expected for him to overcome so who knows."

Well, let's hope Hokuto will get well soon and can wear the blue-red shirt of the capitol club.

Derby Preview: Tosu vs Avispa

We are close to the second derby between both teams from nothern Kyushu.
The first game ended 0:0 at Hakata.
We got another bad row with 3 losses and just one goal in the last 3 games...
After the unexpected win against Vegalta, Ehime and Kofu raped us days later with a3:0 in Ehime and a brutal 6:0 at Kose. After the lost against Verdy on sunday, Shinoda is standing on the edge of the cliff...
The team seems tired and several important players are not fit or injured like Jogo, Wellington or captain Hisanaga. Takahashi seems a bit out of form too and can't show his real skills at the moment.

Tosu made a turn-around from the beginning of the season and brought in the succsses with the Marinos-boys Yamase and Havenaar. After a good season with us last year, Mike came back to Kyushu and go on with it what he can do best at Kyushu...scoring goals. The two youngsters seems like to gave the whole team stability what they needed after the bad start.

The biggest problem for us is, how to stop Mike?
Niwa is out after the foul against Oguro and his fourth yellow card...
Nagano got more physical strengh than Tanaka to stop Mike, but he and Nagira totally collapsed at Kose...
So, It's in Shinoda's hands, who will play along Nagira in the central back.

I hope for a exciting and fair derby

My tip:
Tosu 2-1 Avispa

[J2-R24] Avispa 1-2 Verdy

Well, no song for us again...
The game was also dissapointing again...
The 0:1 from Leandro was a masterpiece of doing nothing. 5 players was around him and did nothing and Leandro just shot the ball into the goal.
The 1:1 was a bit lucky i think. "Jumbo" Okubo made a Jumbo-Trough-In right into the 5m-Box. Nobody of the Verdy-defence cared about Yusuke, who tipped the ball over Doi and over the line.
We don't have to discuss about the PK...it was a clear PK and a deseverd yellow card for Niwa, who will miss the next game against our neighbours from Tosu.

Ehime 3-0 Avispa - Video

I feel so sorry for Yoshida...
He can't do anything against the goals in the last game, the denfence always leave him alone ...

Tanaka was to slow at the 3rd goal again, like the one against Kusatsu...
Give us a NaNi-Defence! Nagira and Niwa!!!

[J2-R22] Ehime 3-0 Avispa

With this lose, we lost the chance to contact to the midfield of the table.
It was a deserved lose. Ehime outhoted aus with 7-13 and the freaky thing is, that we get one single cornerkick in 90 minutes!
The only good news for today: Jogo is back after his shoulder Injury he suffered in the game against Yokohama few weeks ago.
The next three games will be really hard for us. On wednesday we will meet Kofu away, Verdy will come for a visit on sunday and on 4th july, we will face Sagan Tosu for another Kyushu Derby at Tosu Stadium.
