They’ve at the moment misplaced two matches in a row in official matches. This motion have to be stopped right here. The rivalry towards the highest groups within the league continues, with Machida within the earlier spherical and Kobe on this spherical, however this time they wish to sustain.

4 days earlier than this match, Verdy confronted Hiroshima within the third spherical of the Levain J League YBC Cup. Verdy rapidly discovered themselves in a tough scenario. Masato Furukawa confirmed an aggressive look with a mid-range shot within the fifth minute, but it surely was solely the sixth minute. Naoto Arai on the opposite facet of Toshiki Higashi’s cross was turned again by Yuki Ohashi, permitting him to take the lead. Moreover, within the 14th minute, a cross was intercepted by Ohashi in their very own half, and ultimately they have been in a position to play one-on-one with the goalkeeper, extending their lead. Though issues have been robust within the first half with only one shot, the tide turned once they made three substitutions at half-time and used all 5 substitutes by the 67th minute. It was 74 minutes. Kosuke Saito used Daiki Fukasawa who got here up the left facet, and Yuya Miki pushed the return from there, making it a one-point distinction. I hoped for the conventional improvement of Verdy, however … Within the 78th minute, they misplaced the ball in their very own half, leaving a painful aim. Nonetheless, within the 83rd minute, Miki confirmed his resilience by pushing in from Daito Yamami’s free kick, however he couldn’t attain it. Verdy’s Levain Cup ended within the third spherical.

“Now we have been conceding quite a lot of objectives within the first half, and we’re all on the identical web page as to how we will maintain the primary half clear.

As coach Hiroshi Shirofuku mentioned, though they confirmed their normal consistency, they should stabilize their protection first. As well as, this match will probably be towards Kobe, who’ve received the eight video games during which they took the lead, so if they provide them the lead, the match will probably be much more tough. First, I want to deal with conserving the primary half to zero.

Their opponent, Kobe, additionally struggled within the Levain Cup. The opponent is Toyama from J3. Toyama defeated J2’s Shimizu within the second spherical and superior to the third spherical. The sport began within the nineteenth minute when Yosuke Ideguchi despatched a pointy ball into house on the fitting, which Nanasei Iino rapidly jumped to intercept, and Haruya Ide linked on the conversion to take the lead. Nonetheless, this will likely have pressured them to go on the defensive, as they solely had one shot within the first half, and from there, Toyama continued to assault. Within the second half, Kobe was unable to attain extra factors, and within the seventieth minute, they have been tied with an personal aim. The sport went into further time, however a call was nonetheless not made and it went to penalties. Kobe’s first shot, Daisei Miyashiro’s shot, bounced off the crossbar and failed. Alternatively, Toyama’s Kouhei Matsumoto calmly put down the match, and everybody scored from there, giving Toyama a win. Kobe ended up permitting Toyama a second huge kill.

90 minutes + further time, then penalty shootout. As well as, contemplating the spherical journey to Toyama, the fatigue of competing in these steady races is unimaginable. There will even be some shock from the loss. Nonetheless, Kobe additionally entered this sport with a turnover, so the affect will most likely be saved to a minimal. Above all, they’re a proficient staff who’re nonetheless second within the league, though they misplaced their earlier sport towards Kashima.

To date this season, Kobe has scored 24 factors, fifth within the league, however 13 of these factors, greater than half of his whole, have come from set performs. The staff will probably be with out key defender Naoki Hayashi because of his suspension because of his sending off within the current match towards Hiroshima within the Levain Cup, however the staff should be very cautious towards set performs .

The groups which can be decrease than Verdy within the standings in the meanwhile are the three winners they’ve had up to now. By beating larger degree groups, we’ll achieve confidence and turn into a staff that won’t lose once more, or will proceed to win.

YBC J League Levain Cup begins. Verdy won the first championship in 1992 and won three consecutive championships until 1994. He took second place in 1996. This time, the format of the competition has changed, with J1, J2, and J3 teams ‘participate in a one-shot format. The first round has already ended, and they will face Kagoshima United FC, who beat Chiba 1-0. Verdy has been able to win the last two league games. This is a different competition to the league held during the week, and we would like to make good use of the away games to change the tide.

Verdy’s first league game was against FC Tokyo. The match, which attracted 31,746 people to Ajista, attracted attention, and in the 26th minute, Tomoya Miki, who ran in front of the goal at the right time, was brought down in the penalty area and won a penalty kick. He took this calmly and Verdy managed to take the lead. Then, in the 33rd minute, Kazunari Miyahara got the ball back on the right side and put a cross in front of the goal. Yuzuki Someno hit this ball with an eye-opening volley to score another point. And it was 43 minutes. Souma Anzai is sent off for his second yellow. This gave Verdy a numerical advantage, and the match seemed entirely in Verdy’s favor.

On the other hand, however, it was clear that things were going to be difficult. A score of 2-0 is known to be dangerous in football. It was 68 minutes. As Verdy prepared, the ball was stolen by Kosuke Shirai and they got a short count. He was followed as he was, and when he turned, Keita Endo, who had just been replaced, pushed the ball in for a 1-point lead. The atmosphere in the stadium became tense, and the game went to extra time in the second half. When Endo connected with Go Hatano’s long ball and left-footed it, Verdy’s net skipped mercifully. In the end, two points were lost.

However, the leader says, “Instead of dragging on what has already been done, what should we learn and what should we build on?”‘ For the first time the this season, they had a two point lead. We must use this painful experience as a way to end the game in a sustainable way. That will certainly be necessary in this game, where the only way forward is by winning.

On the other hand, Kagoshima finished second in J3 last season and is competing in J2 this season. This season, Verdy’s former captain Akira Ibayashi was joined by Yamagata’s Wataru Tanaka, and Tokushima’s Ryo Toyama. In the first round of the Levain Cup, they faced Chiba as mentioned above. He continues to attack relentlessly even against opponents in higher divisions, and is able to surpass Chiba in terms of the number of opportunities. That attack paid off in the 71st minute. Hideto Nakahara was brought down in the box and won a penalty kick. Shota Suzuki took this calmly and Kagoshima took the lead. After that, Kagoshima continued to create chances and ran away with it to win the match.

They are also currently 16th in the league. The final match was in Round 10 against Ehime. Kagoshima, who had gone without a win in five games until then, dominated the game and conceded the lead in the 25th minute, with Nakahara sent off for red in stoppage time the first half. Furthermore, in the 49th minute, they conceded their second goal and the situation became desperate. However, in the 60th minute, Masayoshi Endo’s goal brought them back to life, and in the 90th + 7th minute of extra time in the second half, Hiroya Nodake’s goal caught them at the last minute.

Kagoshima played just like FC Tokyo in the previous game. There is no doubt that Kagoshima will come into this game with a lot of momentum as they will be playing on their second day of middle school and at home. But, how can they capture victory while still maintaining the initiative? The coach has made it clear that he will use players who have not had the opportunity to play in league games so far, and this will be an opportunity for them to show their mettle. Of course we will win, but we also have high hopes for the improvement of the players who will be involved in league games from now on.
