New signing, Park Jin Soo

Some weeks ago I read there were 2 young korean training with the team, a midfielder and a defender, but it was a surprise to see today the club decided to sign the midfielder.

Well is a surprise because is a signing when the season has just started, but isn't a surprise seeing the lack in this position and the awful match played last saturday.

His name is Park Jin Soo, 23 years old and seems he was called for Korea U-19 national team before.
He will wear the number 29.

Obviously I don't know him but according to what I read in the official site seems he can play do defensive and offensive tasks in the center midfield.

Seems he'll be able to play since the next week in the match against Okayama.

I'm looking forward to see what he can contribute to the team.

2nd round, 14th March, Consadole Sapporo 0 Avispa Fukuoka 3, Where's the hidden camera? XD

Where is he hidden camera? XD Yes, I asked myself this at halftime. XD

I think I didn't see 2 consecutive passes in the 1st half.
Really, the 1st half was the worst i've seen in a lot of time.
Uesato miss many passes and Miyazawa is so sloooooooow.

Fujita,Furuta, Quirino and Kondo wasn't able to do nothing , they didn't get any ball in good conditions...

And Haga in defence is ok, but in attack.. sucks really. He just know to put long balls... again and again.

I have to say Avispa did a good match today although they didn't do something special apart from put a big pressure on top. But their plan was good because Consadole's play didn't exist. 
This and also luck = 2-0.

The 2nd half improved a bit, but anyway the match was lost in the 1st half but Nagasato's goal closed it definitely.
By the way,the goal was awesome. Perfect shoot. So beautiful.

Today’s big problem was at center midield.
But.. looking to the bench.. there isn't any better for those positions at center midfield.
Last year with Danilson's defensive work was easier for Miyazawa and Uesato to create. But this season they have to create and defence at same time, and this seems difficult.
If I were Ishizaki I would try other combination like defensive and offensive midfielder like : 
Uesato or Miyazawa - Haga or Ri

The 1st half disillusioned me well I guess desillusioned everyone who likes Consadole...

I don't know what to think now.. better forget this match and think in the next..

Real Madrid 1 Lyon 1: The BIG Failure

6th consecutive year without pass to 4 best..

Today we've seen what has been this team until now...

The team doesn't have a play style, and the collective play doesn't exist the we depend on the individualistic play of Cristiano,Higuain,etc..
For me one of the main problems is there isn't a true center midfielder(Xabi was a fraud..).
If we have to depend on Guti... this is a big problem...
The team also doesn't use the sides.. 
Kaka is also quite dissapointing.. I'm tired to wait his play..
Is always the same... bored.

Today the famous "Juanito's spirit" only existed until the goal. 
The people in the stadium was quite quiet..

After the goal the attitude was deplorable, specially on the 2nd half.
Is true the result could have been 3-0 before 1st half, but anyway this isn't a excuse, the 2nd half was TOTALLY DEPLORABLE, they throw out the match!

Finally the draw arrived and.. 

For me although the team be the champion in "La Liga", this is a total failure.
This team was designed for win the Champions League or at least pass to the 4 best or semifinal..

I'm totally dissapointed and disillusioned...

1st round, 7th March, Sagan Tosu 1 Consadole Sapporo 1

Finally Consadole was only able to get a draw vs Tosu in the 1st match.

The expected lineup according to Hokkaido Shinbun had finally a variation.
Quirino wasn’t in the best condition and wasn’t even in the bench and then finally Uchimura played next to Kondo.
Haga played in right side instead of Ri (He played a good match).

Starting Lineup(4-4-2):

                    Kondo    Uchimura (Uehara)
                (Nakayama)
   Fujita                                       Furuta (Sunakawa)

                  Uesato  Miyazawa

Iwanuma Ishikawa Nishijima Haga

                         Takahara

Bench: GK: Sato DF: Fujiyama MF: Ri, Sunakawa,Okamoto FW: Uehara,Nakayama

The first half wasn’t bad. Consadole had the possession athough without many clear chances. Tosu didn’t have so much neither.
Fortunately the goal came for us at 20 minute. Good long pass from Uesato and Fujita with luck scored the 1st goal this season. :D

20100308-00.jpg

Of couse, I’m so happy with Fujita’s match. :D For me he played a really good match, one of the best(or the best), the same Kondo.
Hope he keep playing as yesterday.
As I said, I liked a lot Kondo’s moves. Uchimura was also good , very fighter.

At the second half, the things changed. Tosu came in to the pitch more engergetic and played a good second half, while Consadole tried to keep the result trying to sentence the match in some chance.

I have to say I still don’t understand Uchimura’s substitution. XD Uehara didn’t do absolutely nothing.
Sunakawa’s coming in was good. He helped to the team with his quality. Maybe he’s not already for play many full matches, but for the last 20-15 minutes he’s an awesome replacement.

But finally 5 minutes before 90 minute, Tosu’s goal arrived after a stupid lapse of concentration in a restart in a free kick..

The last minutes became a bit crazy with comings and goings in each area and everything could have happened.

And the nationwide news was that finally Gon Nakayama made his debut in a official match and played the last 4 minutes. He even could have scored!(Btw, Great pass of Sunakawa). Because the Keeper saved it.  He’s heading was going to be goal. Pity...

The result was disappointing because although the 2nd half wasn’t good the match seemed almost won before they scored...
But we are only in the 1st match and for me was a really good news see that the newcomers contribute many things to the attack.
And wasn't neither a easy match playing there vs Tosu ,that has some good players,specially in attack, as Toyoda, Kim, Yamase's brother and also Bandai who started in bench.

Is still soon for analyze the team. I think we still have to see more matches and see what happens. 
But I’m optimistic although I have some doubts with midfield combitnation. They lose many balls there( well as last season).

Anyway I trust in this team.

The next weekend vs Avispa must be the first victory.
The team has to be strong at home, although historicaly Consadole's numbers at Sapporo Dome aren't so good. XD
Avispa's start was surprising winning 3-1 vs Kofu, one of the teams that seems will be there in the top positions.
Then seems won't be a easy match.

But anyway, must be a victory!

Real Madrid 3 Sevilla 2, Epic comeback and 1st position again!! :D

Real Madrid's match was so exciting today! 
After Barca's draw vs Almeria, Real Madrid had very good chance to tie with same points with them and get the 1st position.
Well, from now things will be so excticing. 


I don't liked toda's Pellegrini's plan for first half.

        Higuain  Cristiano

              Kaka
     Marcelo         Lass
           X.Alonso

Arbeloa  Garay  Albiol  S.Ramos

             Casillas

Guti or Van der Vaar would be better for Lass position.
With him and Xabi Alonso at same time the team doesn't have a creative midfielder and because of that the team has more problems in attack.

First 30 minutes of first half wasn't good. Although Sevilla scored with luck at 9th minute(Xabi Alonso, own goal).

Sevilla controlled the match and the match finished with this result at the end of the 1st half.

Beforw Guti and Van der Vaart's enter to the pitch , was more or less the same.
Sevilla scored then the 2nd, this time Casillas had a big mistake.. but he saved the team many times so.. no problem for his mistakes. XD

I always says, Casillas is as well as the best keeper in the world, also a very lucky person. This time he was lucky again because although his mistake was big and seemed decisive it wasn't. XD

Guti and Van der Vaart entered to the pitch and the match changed.
Now the team had ideas again and was awesome.

Soon after the goal Cristiano scored the first after a very good recovery of Higuain.
The equalizer came 2 minutes later this time Sergio Ramos headed a corner kicked by Xabi Alonso.

After that, Higuain has some really clear chances but wasn't able to score, but finally there was justice and Van der Vaart scored the victory goal 2 minutes before the final whistle.
:D :D :D

20100307-00.jpg

This victory, as well as very important for get the 1st position again, is very important for get confidence for Wednesday's match vs Lyon.

The team needs to over come defeat 1-0 vs Lyon.

I hope Pellegrini doesn't repeat 1st half plan...
Hope the people in the stadium help the team to get the victory.

VAMOS!!!!!!

So, finally today is the 1st match!

I've seen probably the starting lineup will be this one:

          Kondo   Quirino

Fujita                    Furuta

         Miyazawa Uesato

Iwanuma Ishikawa Nishijima Haga

             Takahara

Seems Furuta will be finally ready for today's match.
Haga will play instead of Ri in the right side and Uchimura will be in bench.

Of course I'll watch the match and I hope we enjoy the 1st victory.

FORZA SAPPORO!

It's official! Nakamura signs for Yokohama

Espanyol announced the agreement and finally Nakamura will come back to Yokohama.

The most strange was Nakamura he was in the official photo that Espanyol took this morning for first time in the new stadium, and later he signed for Yokohama. XD

Anyway is a good news for him.
I'm glad because he will finally play but I'm also sad because I always wanted to see his play in Spain and his days here have been really bad.
In my opinion, they haven't let him show anything and then is impossible..

Seems he plans to come back to Japan next Monday and then join to Japan national team that plays vs Bahrein on Wednesday.
I hope he plays vs FC Tokyo the next week.

Yamase wears number 10 then probably will wear number 25, because is free.

Now J1 is gonna be more interesting for me , specially Yokohama's matches. I also like Kenta Kano's play then I hope Nakamura and Kano play together.

Preseason match vs Kobe

On Sunday , Consadole played versus Kobe the penultimate match before the season begins. Kobe won 1-2. Quirino(PK) scored for Consadole and Miyamoto and Ganaha scored for Kobe.

           Kondo    Uchimura
     (76' Nakayama) (72' Sunakawa)
 Fujita                       Furuta
                            (54' Quirino)
          Uesato   Miyazawa
                 (66' Fujiyama)
Iwanuma  Ishikawa  Nishijima    Ri
                             (76' Haga)
              Takahara
              (73' Sato)

I read a bit on some newspapers Consadole's match was good, specially sides.
With players as Furuta,Fujita,Okamoto,Sunakawa even Uchimura, this has to be the main weapon and the chances should come from there. Seems Fujita is fix for him. That's good. XD
Ishizaki also spoke about something the team did last eyar, the possibility of the players change their sides during the match.

In FW , Quirino wasn't still at 100% and Kondo and Uchimura played again together. Uchimura caused the PK.

20100223-05.jpg

In midfield, I think Miyazawa-Uesato combination is also interesting.
Uesato is also able to do defensive task and has more quality than others for same tasks. Is a good idea.

In DF , Iwanuma played in left side and Ri in right.

In the second half the veterans,Quirino and Sato had minutes.

Ishizaki also said is difficult to do the starting line up.
That's a good problem. XD

I don't know if this team will reach the objective, but with Ishizaki is sure we will enjoy.


By the way, the captains were decided last Saturday.
Ishikawa will be the captain and Nakayama and Takahara the others.
I think this players are good for this role, specially Ishikawa who is going to be the defence's leader, but I would have preffered someone who know better the club as Nishijima for example(since 2004 in the team). But anyway Ishikawa is good.

The last preseason match will be vs Oita.
The match will be broadcasted by Skapa, but I won't have J-League set until March then I can't see it....

La Liga week 23

Cristiano Ronaldo 6 Villarreal 2 XD 

Yeah , Cristiano won the match. I still have doubts in the Real Madrid’s collective play but I enjoy a lot with his play.
The free kick was just PERFECT! And he was in all the goals. 

20100223-02.jpg

4-2 and he wanna more and more. After Zidane’s retirement, he’s the best player I’ve seen in the team.
I’m also glad because Higuain scored 2 goals. Grande Pipa! :D

20100223-03.jpg

Although the result was great and I enjoyed with Cristiano’s and others individual actions I think Real Madrid should control more the match and have more the ball.

I’m worried with CL. I think won’t pass to next round would be a total failure, even if they win the league.
Last week defeat was a very big mistake..

I hope the team show his best face vs Lyon the next 10th March.


Malaga 2 Espanyol 1

I enjoyed this victory. Malaga’s play was better in the 1st half but Espanyol was better in the 2nd.
I have to say Malaga was a bit lucky to get the 3 points, but doesn’t care the important are the 3 points. :P

20100223-01.jpg

Seems Nakamura played his last minutes and did a good action in left side.
Was nice to see him vs Malaga.
I’m sad because he’s not going to play here nevermore but also happy because we'll be able to see his play again and he needs minutes for be ready for the world cup.

20100223-00.jpg

I’m glad he comes back to Yokohama and I hope to enjoy his play in the J-League from now.

Training match vs Kanoya Taiiku Daigaku

Last wednesday Consadole played the antepenultimate match before the season starts. This time vs a university. Logically, Consadole won 4-0. Goals scored by Kondo,Furuta,Uchimura and Uehara.

Starting lineups:

1st match:

        Uchimura  Kondo

Fujita                     Furuta
        Miyazawa   Haga

Iwanuma Nishijima Fujiyama  Ri

             Takahara

Without Quirino, still injured , new signings Kondo and Uchimura played together at FW. Both scored.

20100219-02.jpg

Seems Kondo has many possibilties to be the player who plays next to Quirino , because he's the only player for post play.
Kondo and Quirino combination would be good for me.

In midfield, personally I like this sides. Their performance was good in the last part of last season. For me Furuta has to play yes or yes.  And of course I want Fujita plays, but this season will be more difficult. Okamoto and also Uchimura are so good players and are both really good options.
There are many good options in attack this season and that's good for Ishizaki.
The center midfielder was Miyazawa and Haga the defensive.

In DF, Ri played his first match as right side back and Fujiyama in center back.

For me Nishijima, Ishikawa and Cho should play always when they are available. Nishijima is the best side back and Ishikawa and Cho are good defenders and has experience too.

About Ri I still haven't seen him so I don't know but seems he will play in side back or as defensive midfielder.

In the 2nd match the line up was(according to official site..):

         Yokono   Nakayama

Okamoto                    Sunakawa
        Ri(Mikami) Uesato

Sugawara Ishikawa  Hotta  Uehara

              Sato

For me this seems a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 again. I don't believe Uehara played as side back again.

Finally Nakayama played his first match. XD

20100219-03.jpg

Sato was the goalkeeper. I'm glad to see he has come back. For me he's the best keeper of the team.
Two U-18 players, the defender Sugawara and forward Mikami had some minutes, that's good.
Ri played next to Uesato in midfield.

Seriously, now I don't even know which players I would choose. XD
I wanna Fujita and Furuta plays in sides, and Kondo and Quirino combination seems the best, but then Uchimura and Okamoto?
Is difficult because the level is very equalized in this roster.


The next match will be this sunday vs Kobe. This one is a good match.

Changing the topic.

Last Tuesday as I said I went to Lyon for watch Real Madrid's match.
Real Madrid image was shameful and players attitude too.
We were lucky to be defeated only for 1 goal.
I came back home so angry for the image more than for the resul. Is possible to lose but the attitude was regrettable..
But was a good experience. CL environment is special and listen the CL anthem(for me the best competition in the world(club level)) at the stadium is great.
Lyon is also a really nice play(Although was sooo cold! haha) ,I had a good day there.

"La liga" is alive!

After Saturday's victory of Real Madrid in Xerez everybody payed attention to yesterday's match between Atletico and Barca.

Real Madrid won in a difficult match in Chapin. The horrible condition of the pitch made the match really difficult. Was difficult to move the ball.. and until the goal wasn't easy.
But finally Arbelona scored! After that obviouslbe Real played more comfortable. The 2nd was scored but Cristiano Ronaldo. Perfect cross from Kaka and nice heading. Later, again Cristiano-Kaka connection and Cristiano scored the third.
Cristiano is awesome.. he's always the best in every match!
The 94 million euros are totally justified!

20100215-02.jpg

Important victory and again to wait Barca's defeat.

And finally this came! Atletico's image is random. XD And yesterday they showed their best image.
Is true Barca had many defenders injured, but in attack there were the best, I think that's not excuse.
Thank you Atletico. XD

Now Real Madrid is 2 points under Barca and this become exciting again!

About Malaga, they won 0-3 in Santander. Since the team is playing with many players coming through the ranks, the team improved a lot.
Malaga played a really good match.

Last week, 4 Malaga's players were called for Spain U-21 national team. Ivan Gonzalez,Javi Lopez, Toribio and Manu Torres.
That's a really good news for Malaga!

New signing ,Caicedo, finally scored his first goal. A beautiful goal!

20100215-03.jpg
Now the team is 5 points over the relegation's positions. :D

About Nakamura, again out the bench. Hope he come back to Japan soon.

So, tomorrow I'm going to go to France for see Lyon vs Real Madrid (Champions League Best 8).

Will be exciting because is a really important match, and also  because is the first time I'm going to see a Real Madrid's match outside Spain.
