Hokkaido Sapporo Gonzaga, Kobe Victory ship visited the league table at the weekend, only 1.:1 to draw, leaving them with a gap of 8 points to the first Machida Zevia.
In fact, Victory Ship created many chances to get into the wave in this battle, but they couldn't win it back due to solid defensive play by Gonzaga's guards and goalie.
Nonetheless, seems to have the guts to score and make money for the third game in a row. I expect him to be the most goal threatening player on the winning ship once again. Indeed, when he gets into his stride, he definitely has the ability to control the game on his own.
On Sunday, the Nagoya Whalers beat Kashiwa Reysol 2-1 at home, ending a four-game losing streak and a seven-game losing streak.
In my opinion, the key to the Whale's win over the Wave was the team's solid defense, especially the stellar performance of Captain Langeric, while Yuki Soma played a key role after returning to the team on loan from Portuguese Super AC Casa Villa.
Yuki Soma not only equalized the score for his team, but also stabilized the team. All of his teammates know that if the ball is passed to him, he will contribute to the team. With Victory Ship defender Takanori Sakai set to miss the match due to injury, Yuki Soma will once again try to break through the opponent's defense with his own quality in this match.
Although Takade Sakai is absent for Kobe Victory, former midfield excellence players such as Isamu Osako and Yoshinori Muto bring a steady attacking force to the team. The return of Isamu Soma also strengthens the Nagoya Whale's capabilities including dead balls, so I think today's battle will ultimately end with both sides and the match with one point each.
