First of all, i want to say sorry to all readers and Avispa-Fans, that i missed to write so many news and game reports, but i was pretty busy, but now i try to report regulaly again.
It seemed like a really good match at the Fukuda Denshi Arena on sunday noon. The sky was blue and the fans on both sides were good, like always on both sides. Shinoda put Miyaji on Yamagata's position again after his good performance at the derby against Roasso. Kudo replaced Yusuke on the LMF position. Okamoto replaced Takahashi along Okubo. JEF was unbeaten at Denshi in 5 games...till sunday. It was a pretty close game, but it looked like JEF would take the 3 points at home again after Sato's lucky goal in the 26th minute. The ball hit Tanaka and flew into the goal. Kamiyama just looked behind... But one player showed a great performance and started where he end at the Roasso game. Kosuke Nakamachi scored a marvelous goal, after a good passing play of Avispa. Nakamachi stopped the ball with his chest and shot with right, right into the JEF goal. We played really, really well and won with 16:11 on shots. I'm pretty happy with the point, in fact that JEF was unbeaten at home. It seems, that we really used the break at the 10th round to come out strong after the 4 losts. Let's hope we can go on like this!
Another starting elven-position for Hokuto, but he and Tokyo lost the highly prestige derby Tamagawa Classico "Get the river under control" against Kawasaki Frontale with 2:1 at Todoroki. 2 goals from Korea DPR's striker Chong Tese gave Kawasaki the win. Yasuyuki Konno scored the 2:1. Hokuto was replaced by south korean youth-international Kim Young-Gwon in the 59th minute.
Maybe most japanese football fans thought, that an Avispa on their top would beat a bottom-Verdy. But it seems like that the team and also Shimoda was pretty happy with the point, because it's always not easy to get a point away. Yosuke Miyaji made his first starting 11-debut. It was not our best central back because, Nagira and Tanaka were not in the squad, so there were just Miyaji and Yamaguchi for the position along Daiki. The team seemed not that strong like in the games before. Like a half year ago, Verdy star-youngster Hiroki Kawano scored the 1:0 for the greens and we got under pressure even more but the team fought bravely and Hideya Okamoto headed the ball into the net after a cross from Jun Suzuki 5 minutes before the end.
F.C. Tokyo and Hokuto faced Nagoya Grampus and Chiyo in the first group-stage-game of Nabisco Cup 2010 and end up in a tie 2:2. Hokuto played Matsushita's part like against Omiya and played really offensive again. Chiyo played for the second time of the season and make his first starting eleven-game. Hokuto's best buddy Sota Hirayama and rookie Kentaro Shigematsu with a last minute-goal. Aussie-Tower Joshua Kennedy and our beloved Chiyo scored the 2 goals for Nagoya. It was Hokuto's 4 starting-eleven game out of 5 games. He just missed the home game against Cerezo Osaka (0:0). He was replaced by Otake in the 68th minute. Chiyo made his first full 90 minutes of the season. In the league, he just played 4 minutes in two games.
Here you can find Highlights of the 1st and the 2nd half
F.C. Tokyo and Hokuto celebraited a 0:2-win against Omiya at NACK5. Hokuto started, played Matsushita's part and showed a really offensive game and went into the box very often. Tokyo outshoted Omiya with 32:3 shots on the goal. Omiya got in trouble with two red cards, but to be honest, the cards were the joke of the weekend, specially the one for An. Hokuto were replaced in the 56th minute by rookie Kentaro Shigematsu, who made his pro-debut and scored the 0:2.
What a performance! No minute we had to fear to lose this game! 21:5 shots on goal and another great performance from Genki Nagasato and the others made the day in Fukuoka even sunnier than it was! The party started in the 30th minute with a header from Genki after a cross from Jumbo Okubo. No Toyama-defender covered Genki, so it was a easy goal to score. The 2:0 came just before the halftime. A Toyama-defender touched the ball after a Jumbo-header, so the Ref pointed to the point. Okubo scored the penalty, but he had to make it again. No problem for Jumbo and he scored the 2:0. After the break, we started where we ended in the first...with alot of pressure and the result was the 3:0 from Genki. Yusuke took a cross from Yamagata in the box and crossed it from the line to Nagasato, who came into the box and scored with a left shot. Toyama find just single ways to break through the midfield, but they got themself into trouble after 2 yellow/red cards in just 12 minutes. After that, it was much easier than it was before. The midfield was our now, so we scored the 4:0 just 5 minutes after the second red card for Kataller. Suzuki played a pass to Takahashi, who started a solorun and scored the 4th goal of the afternoon. What a party that was and Jun Suzuki ended it with a masterpiece of a corner! A goal from a corner...that happend just ones in a livetime!
Now we have a 11:2 on goals, so we are the most effective team in the J2. Just two goals against isn't bad and make Yuji Rokutan one of the best keepers in the J2 at the moment. We are on third place now, after Yokohama lost in the top-game of the weekend with 1:2 aginst the Team of the moment, Tokushima Vortis, which are still on 1st with the full 12 points after 4 games. Kashiwa took the 2nd after a 0:2 in Tokyo against Verdy and got 10 points now.
