What a game! That was the best J1 game I've seen all season. The tempo was extremely high throughout the entire game, tons of chances, big nerve and a dramatic finish. Felt sorry for Kawasaki in the end though
Kawasaki, Gamba and Cerezo want Ienaga. This is somewhat anticipated after his 11 goals and 5 assists this season.
Anybody watching Kashima knows how is Yuma Suzuki doing lately? Does he deserves to be tried as a option alongside Osako,etc. in matches for Japan e.g some friendlies?
he has not played in the league semifinal. He's had a good season but not to the point that he deserves a callup... also Osako is used as the striker closer to the goal in the NT, so Suzuki would be just a double.
True, but he has some potential imo. There is still like one and a half years before the 2018 WC, i think he can be tried in a few friendlies just like other options for other positions e.g CM and DM.
Congratulations Kashima Antlers. They were the best team today, and I feel sorry for Urawa because they were the overall season champion, but again they missed it all in the last meter of the season.
I think he's got a younger brother. His name is Onaiwu and goes to the same school that Ado did (Shochi Fukaya in Saitama). Firts year in HS and in the squad already for the big winter tournament.
