Official 2019 Nadeshiko Japan Thread [R] - なでしこジャパン（英語スレッド）

aqstream fujitv with japanese commentary works for me

 

Welcome on the boards Serafim Dahl.

 

Not sure what Hasegawa is on...but I want some....(racehorse on steroids)
Or to put it another way ...she's certainly full of energy

 

EAFF E1 Champs

HT.....China 0 Japan 2........Iwabuchi (2)

Think we are worth the lead

 

EAFF E1 Champs

FT ....China 0 Japan 3.....Iwabuchi (3)

Comprehensive win but have to say thought China were poor today even an uncharacteristic goalkeeping error for second goal from the 'great wall of China'

Defence looked solid enough...Sugita Miura partnership functioned well in midfield and some delightful attacking play

Hope Takakura san perseveres with Ikejiri...think she deserves another run out

 

Asato

 

The first and second goals were really good. The keeper probably could have done a bit better on the first goal, but I just like the play before both goals for very different reasons. Again Hasegawa involved in both goals.

Nadeshiko seem to have China's number. They always seem to play well against them. The last time they played them, which was in the world cup qualifiers, it was easily their best game of that tournament.

Can somebody tell me where Matsubara played? Was it in midfield or defence? According to google Nadeshiko played a 4-2-3-1 with Hasegawa as the lone striker and Iwabuchi in the hole. Is that how the game played out?

The last time they played against China they played a similar formation and looked very good. I am not sure if their is a correlation to their success and the formation or not, but I would like to see them try this formation more.

 

Yamashita
Shimizu Matsubara Minami Miyagawa
Miura Sugita
Momiki Hasegawa Ikejiri
Iwabuchi

But they might have changed the positions of Iwabuchi and Ikejiri in the way.
Not sure of the other formation change.

 

Yeah that looks more like the formation I imagined with those players. Google had Sugita playing at CB! I like the idea of Iwabuchi being in the centre of attack. Nadeshiko usually play close together and I think they are more likely to produce goals like the first one with Iwabuchi playing in the centre rather than on the wing.

Of course against better opposition I wonder how it would go.

I think the 4-2-3-1 is the better formation for Nadeshiko, because more players can fit into that formation as opposed to 4-4-2.

 

But Takakura says that because Iwabuchi was hard to keep balls from DFs, she changed her CF position to Ikejiri.

 

Korea Republic 1 - 0 Chinese Taipei HT

Korea reserves look dominant but are missing real bite against resolute Chinese Taipei team. Good follow up by Kang on goal action but again Koreans were gifted this goal by goalkeeper error.

Yet again stadium was almost empty in 1st half even though it's double header with Korea men team playing China next.

 

Broadcast??

Oh I see.

 

Today's sad news:
Hasegawa left the team due to injury.

 

Kinga's stay and impact on W-League is pretty much the same as Kim Little was for NWSL

try to toggle on/off for effect: the hardware acceleration setting in Chrome (Chrome menu/settings/advanced settings) - turning it off may help but also it can tell you if your GPU drivers need update (or if they just were updated - if you need to roll back to previous version of the drivers - more stable). Other causes: it may be related to some Windows update feature - in that case the fix should be relased shortly, or you could try to reinstall the browser.

I watched this game. She played as a support striker like she did last season for Nojima, only not with the same success. So far this season (and it is not Christmas yet) Yoko has played as an AM, LW, LM, SS, CM and kind of DM! You would think at some point they might just play her in one position for a while. When she played in CM they won two of their games, but anyway.

She played kind of well, but occasionally she does some very un-Yoko things like poor passes when she is not under pressure. They play a lot on astro turf in Spain, which is very different to Japan. Also I think she is used to getting the ball passed a lot more to her feet, whereas at Huelva the passing really is crazy at times. There is very little synchronicity in the team with too many clashing styles of players for the team to develop a clear style of play.

Yoko did some very good things, but most of them were done in her own half (DM position) a long way from her opponent's goal. Just nothing of significance in attack. I am pretty sure Huelva did not have one shot on goal from inside their opponent's box in open play. It is really bad.
