wow... source? or just rumor? If I'm not mistaken appart from Tanabe there is only 1 more non-EU player, so nobody needs to leave. If this Hiroki Kawano is just another Tanabe, they better save the effort and not even send him... Sabadell is in a very dangerous situation and they can't start experimenting with new players. In fact the other day in the radio commentators were saying "it would be bad if they changed Tanabe for another player... after we took the time to teach Tanabe how things are done here".
I have links to stream both matches today, as TV is broadcasting them and you can just watch from the official channels directly. CE Sabadell - Zaragoza (18:00) http://www.tv3.cat/3alacarta/html5/#/directes/esport3/ (Click "tanca" on top to close the menu) Alcorcón - Hércules (18:15) http://www.lasexta.com/directo/_2012090400053.html Alternative: http://www.atresplayer.com/directos/television/lasexta/ You might not see anything sometimes during the day as they often stop broadcasting online if there is no content, but they will definitely broadcast the games Time zone is Mainland Europe (UTC +1) The usual for Spain, France, Italy, Germany, etc.
Thanks! I should be back home around that time, I'll check it. I wonder if the first stream is available outside spain though? We'll see
Yeah I worried about that too but a friend from England confirmed it works. Anyway I recommend you to watch Hércules... because for Sabadell, Tanabe will probably just play 10 minutes as usual. If he is warming up I'll tell you in this topic, but watching Sugi will be much more rewarding as he is likely to be on the starting eleven again.
Broadcast available!! it took a long time... they just made the channel available right now... I was worried. Tanabe on the bench as usual.
As suspected, the links don't work here, unfortunately. And sorry, before I wrote "the first link" but yeah I was talking only about Hercules' match... neither seem to work. It says that "el contenido al que intentas acceder no se puede reproducir porque tiene restricciones geograficas", as expected But I found another one, so no problem
Oh... I'm sorry to read that :/ indeed, geograhic restrictions... The correct one for Hércules is this one: http://www.atresplayer.com/directos/television/futbol-segunda-division/ I hope you can use this or the one you found~
That's the one who says "el contenido al que intentas acceder no se puede reproducir porque tiene restricciones geograficas" but I'm watching it with one on firstrow nngh could've had an assist after 16'...
HT - Sabadell 0 - 0 Zaragoza Sabadell missed a penalty kick... I doubt Tanabe will play much in this context. That assist by Sugi would have been great. And the shot by Portillo was awesome, nice save too by the GK.
Sabadell scored a great goal (the guy who missed the PK) For Hércules... substitution, Sugi out Couldn't do much today. EDIT: Tanabe comes in! He'll have 15 minutes.
btw he has his official account on twitter, I didn't know. He said thanks to Piquè. https://twitter.com/SugiYukiya/status/409404901504983040 (or in japanese https://twitter.com/SugiYukiya/status/409404864452513792 )
Great!!! Thank you so much Dax !!!! now I can show my support directly to him Full time for both games, let's talk about it a little bit. Hércules won 0-2, which is great to try to get out of the relegation zone. Unfortunately Sugi was not playing when they scored but he had his chances, and the commentators said he is 1st division material, he just needs time. Sabadell 1 - 0 Zaragoza The match was good and there were many chances. They totally deserved win. The new coach has been crucial to lift their mood, and he also has been giving minutes to Tanabe from the beginning. Now I want to talk about Tanabe, as I see him improving. I have to say I was quite impressed today. Tanabe didn't score or show any crazy skills, but you can definitely see he is becoming a different player, at least in terms of attitude. He played for 15 min. + added time. He soon had his first chance after a bounce, he went towards the ball and made a header that could have been a goal, but it was lacking power... like he didn't want to score or something... Then, on the next play, he had the ball and tried a dribbling with no success, he lost the ball but something happend inside his mind and he realized he had to fight to get the ball back. When he did, the crowd cheered him a lot, and at this very moment he became a different player. From that point, he started running and pressuring the defenders, stealing the possession and participating in good attacks, and then out of nowhere he made an excellent cross that his mate couldn't reach, but it would have had all the chances to become a goal as it fell in a deadly position. Everybody has been questioning whether Tanabe is good at all, and saying not very positive stuff, so maybe what he really needed was support and some love from the crowd. Of course, players need to feel supported in order to perform well. I can say I saw a good Tanabe today. I'm sure he is happy, the team is happy, and the crowd is happy. Nice weekend
Why is the Japanese version auto-translated from Spanish? It sounds like complete gibberish. Sketchy...
I didn't pay much attention to that, but you are right.... lol But there's something more suspicious than his weird Japanese.... it's his native level of Spanish omg who on earth is managing that account?
Tanabe will have some mates visiting from the land of the rising sun... http://www.consadole-sapporo.jp/news/2013/12/015845.html Basically, Tatsuki Nara (defender at Consadole Sapporo) will be participating in some test matches for potential new players in Sabadell. A Japanese defender... that can be very risky. It's hard for the fans to get mad at a forward, but too easy to get mad at a defender... just sayin'...
LOL I didn't even bother reading it since spanish is easy as heck for me but... indeed it's funny, I wonder who's doing it for him as for Nara, I'm definitely not sure a defender from J2 would be a nice pick for a relegation struggling side
You should know in Spain what people think is what people say xD therefore, if supporters think a player sucks, they will tell him at the stadium shouting on his face, and if that player is Japanese his self confidence is likely to be damanged, just like Tanabe's story can tell us, which I wrote in one of the previous posts. You should really go to a Spanish second division game... it's even more competitive than first division games. First division is classy, second division is just hell. -> Not the best place for a young inexperienced Japanese.
Sugi started from the bench today but scored a goal! Final Result: Lugo 1 - 3 Hércules. He was substituted in at 62', and scored at 75'. The match was not broadcasted on TV so I can't tell you much more for now.
Final whistle, Tenerife 0 - 3 Sabadell. Tanabe played for 35 minutes but didn't do much, as the team was already winning by 3. Good result see you again in January.
