2015/17 Atomu Tanaka @ HJK Helsinki (FIN)

Not yet informed how bad injury it was :/

About the game....another 5-1 lost game in a row!! nothing is working at the moment... HJK is definitely in crisis now.

 

Good news, Atom is ok and he is in starting xi today against Hifk (derby match)
Match begins 18:30 gmt+3

 

What is happening at HJK? They can't win against anyone. 10 matches without a win now.

 

Crisis is over now and they can win, but sadly the championship is going to SJK or RoPS. Only one round left and HJK is two point behind SJK and one point behind RoPS... Ofc anything is still possible but SJK is strong team and they will play their last match in home ground and i think they're not going to lose that game in front of home crowd. Actually draw is enough for them if RoPS also lose.

Sad year for HJK, very sad...... last minute goal in Astana, huge crisis and now this...

But there is also good news for HJK fans: Atom will spend also next year in HJK .

Assist in the last game of the season, 1-0 win vs KuPS, it seems. Unfortunately they finish the season in 3rd place, two points behind champions SJK.

Atomu scored 8 goals and 8 assists in the league. Counting all competitions, 12 goals and 12 assists. Really well done.

From what I can garner there it's by the Finnish FA, the title is IS Tähtipelaaja/IS Star Player which Tanaka got for 30 stars, probably some scorer (goals + assists) rating?

 

IS = Ilta-Sanomat is the biggest newspaper in Finland. After every match they reward three best players of the game.
At the end of the season, most stars collected player is the best player of Veikkausliiga according to Ilta-Sanomat reporters. So, its not the official "best player of the year" title, but it's a good achievement of course!

Here is the final ranking:

What a great player. Man of the match.

 

Hmm his stats are looking very insane 53 games and 17 goals + 12 assists !? Even its the finish league. Is he JNT material by the way ?

 

He is really contributing to this team. I think he likes it in Helsinki.
