Official 2018 Nadeshiko Japan Thread [R] - なでしこジャパン（英語スレッド）

Will there be a fee or do we pay with our data by opening an account to see all games? Or a combination of both - pay for the top games?

 

I registered an account there (no fee) but I'm not sure if it's even a must...anyway games are already listed on their calendar.

If you go to this link it already has the games up with the time counting down.

Welcome Pierre...

 

The game on Wednesday the 4th of April will kick-off at 19.00 CET.
Note not much public transport go there. Train go to Quimper and then it is a bus to Concarneau.
Better book an hotel in Concarneau or drive.

 

There is a rumor that the shark won’t be swimming on April 1st vs. Ghana. Sameshima is out due to injury. I am not sure what happened.

 

Yuri Kawamura.....handful of games then out for nearly a year
Got to be one of the most unlucky overseas moves ever made by Japanese player.Hope she is able to do an Arioshi and get back into N.T contention.
Mycujoo account at the ready....roll on 21.3.2018

 

Sameshima was signed with the Dart - I think - some time ago, but never got to play with them due to injury. She was out for a year but was signed by INAC after recovery.

It is also worth noting that Beleza, Inac, Albi and Jef (as well as newly promoted Nittaidai) all changed managers, so they might look a little bit different than what we are used to.

I checked on the Div2 clubs too, since I'll be attending a couple of matches, so I thought I'd put this here too in case anyone is interested:

Nadeshiko Japan members for vs Ghana (MS & AD Cup) and Asia Cup:

GK: Ikeda Yamashita Hirao
DF: Sameshima Ariyoshi Utsugi Kumagai Takagi Miyake Shimizu Ichise
MF: Sakaguchi Nakajima Naomoto Nakasato Masuya Sumida Hasegawa
FW: Kawasumi Sugasawa Iwabuchi Yokoyama Tanaka

 

I forgot to say one point.
The other three overseas players except Kawasumi will join the team on April 3rd while Naho on March 26th because she would need some time to fit in the team.

 

Takakura's answer about this call is that she couldn't find any strong players enough to play in our attack in the young ones she had tested.

 

I honestly thought - because she was not playing for Nadeshiko - Kawasumi had retired from international football. Maybe they had an agreement or something?

But Takakura is right. The young strike force has not set the world alight. I like Tanaka as a player, but the way she scores most of her goals for Beleza is by running onto balls chipped over the defense. Against top opposition that is not going to work too often.

The main problem with the forwards is that they don't make the most of their opportunities. I would love to know the conversion rate for players like Tanaka and Iwabuchi in the Nadeshiko League regarding goals scored from goal scoring opportunities. I still think Iwabuchi, Tanaka and Yokoyama are Nadeshiko's best options after Kawasumi, so it will be interesting to see if Kawasumi will make an impact, because she is just class.

I also would like to see them give Nojima's Arisa Minamino a run in the team, but I do not see it happening.

 

Kawasumi.....what a surprise.....who knows... could this herald the return of Yuki Nagasato or even dare I mention it Aya Miyama.

Because there doesn't seem to be a practice of players announcing their retirement from international duty to 'concentrate on their club careers etc etc' as is often the case elsewhere we always seem to be in the dark regarding who is available and who is not when somebody disappears from the scene.

I do hope Takakura san having recalled Kawasumi will stick with her as far as WWC 2019 and not just use her to bolster up the team to make sure of qualification next month.

other...
JFA Nadeshiko (eng language site) is now listing Ueki, Miyazawa and Miyagawa under 'players information'....does this mean they are now officially first team squad members?

 

You mean Beleza?
If so, this is the list.
http://www.verdy.co.jp/beleza/player/

 

No... they appear on the JFA Nadeshiko (english language) site under the heading of NT 'players information' with photographs and details (although Miyazawa is still listed as a Seisa Kokusai High School player)....Kawasumi now appears on the same list as well.
I have seen the 'green machine' squad list for the upcoming season as per your link.

 

Link please.

 

Innsbruck is turning into the place to be in Europe to watch Nadeshiko.. .
