Last round, the team lost 1-2 to Sakura Osaka on the road, encountering the second loss in the past 9 league matches. The team lost these two games against Kawasaki Striker and Osaka Sakura, both of which are among the top teams in the league, and will not affect the image of Tosu Shayam. Currently, Tosu Shayam is ranked 7th in the league, and has played 13 draws this season, which is the highest number of draws in the league. In addition, Tosu Sagan has 5 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses in home matches, and has not lost many home matches. This is a team known for its strong running game, with the best running stats in the league.
Opting for a managerial change in mid-August, assistant coach Daisuki Iwamasa came in and the new manager took the team to play six official matches, including against Victory Ship
The team's record is 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, only 1-2 loss to Kawasaki Frontale, the stability of the performance is still significantly improved. The last round of the league and the Japanese Imperial Cup match is very close, so Iwamasa Daiki made as many as seven changes to the lineup, naturally affecting the team's ability to win.
The good news for Kashima Antlers is that Ryotaro Araki has played two games back from injury and his playing time is gradually increasing. Araki was in great form at the beginning of the season, but then an unlucky injury not only affected his personal playing time, but also damaged the team's offense significantly, and his comeback is good for Kashima's offense. The two teams met in the first round of the season and played a stunning 4-4 draw, coupled with Tosu's image as a master of draws
