Kashiwa - Bayern 3-2 after going 1-0 down Didn't like what I've seen honestly, the sidebacks have been abysmal in defense and the keeper is embarassing. Despite being a possession-based team Bayern had 62% which says a lot. Kashiwa basically came out in the second half for a good 20 minutes before playing in their midfield for the rest of the match pretty much. A couple of midfielders decided the game with some great passes, along with an own goal which was a pure gift from Bayern, which also hit the crossbar two times. A draw probably would've been the more realistic result ballfing decision by the coach to not make subs too with a few players cramping.
That's not how it works Radu, otherwise nobody would bother scouting young players and I would be a football player nowadays This kid has no "keeper sense" yet on the right thing to do overall, and given his age it is a bit worrying. When to punch and when to not, when to go out and when to not. He managed to let the ball slip while he was playing it from his hands. Spent too much stuck on the line, his reflex only were very good. When I say that, I am already considering the fact that he will improve and that experience will help him. Buffon improved too, but at 17 he was already exceptional. Of course, I'm all open to come and check how fast he improves in the next 5 years so we can verify it.
Yes, hope both we be alive to see what happens. If he will play in J3 at least that means he has improved. A little bit, but you're saying that he's the worst keeper you have ever seen.
wait... come on man Huh no let's not exaggerate, I wrote "keeper is embarassing" and that it'd be a disaster if he made the first team in its current state. Depends on how much he's able to use his Reysol academy "curriculum" to recycle himself (their current U18 keeper has graduated - not to Reysol - and he's likely next in line despite being a 2001)
Lost 1-0 against Salzburg. Won't comment as I only watched the last '20, will catch up later. Next is probably PSG. Winning the group would've meant playing Real Madrid anyway, unlucky group draw.
825029152008962050 is not a valid tweet id Real Madrid's keeper goes full Kokubo and Kashiwa scores a last second goal. Sadly eliminated at penalties
I've just remember that RB Salzburg are coached by Rene Maric, not the head coach though. And they're currently the most exciting team in UEFA Youth League this year
