Kaka is here!! Finally he will wear the number 8.

Amazing introduction! Almost 50.000 people went to Santiago Bernabeu for see the Kaka's introduction as new player of Real Madrid.
Almost 50.000 people in a introduction!! I had never seen that before XD

The doubt was: What number is going to wear? 
The press said Florentino wanted him to wear the number 5, that Zidane wore before, but seems Kaka  didn't want to use his number because as he said: "Zidane is Zidane, and he made history in this club, I want to make history too". 
The number 9 was also a possibility (seems will be for Cristiano Ronaldo, because he registered CR9 mark before).

Cannavaro signed for Juventus then number 5 was also free. Gago who was wearing the 8 until now, wanted to wear the number 5(typical number of a center midfield in Argentina), and number 8 was a good number for Kaka and for merchandising. Then Gago will wear the 5 and Kaka the 8, and both happy.

The other was normal, typical words of the president and Kaka.. and the press conference later.

The next introduction will be Cristiano Ronaldo's introduction at 10th.
If today almost 50000 people went to Kaka's one, how many will go to Cristiano Ronaldo? Will the stadium be full? XD

24th match: Vegalta Sendai 1 Consadole Sapporo 1

GK: Aratani
DF: Nishijim, Cho, Yoshihiro, Uesato
MF: Fujita, Miyazawa Danilson, Okamoto, Claiton
FW: Quirino

Bench: GK: Takahara MF: Nishi , Sunakawa FW: Nakayama, Uehara

In other moments, this draw could have been good, but in the current situation only the victory is good.
I think the match was quite close, and both team had their chances but this time we were lukcy in Uesato's cross XD (Finally luck!!!)

20090629-00.jpg

There are problems but I also think this team is jinx...
Some newspapers said Sendai tied the matchc because Ishizaki changed the system to the 3-5-2... but I don't think this was the problem, with 4-4-2 they were doing some dangerous chances.. I think Sendai is a really good team..

Again was pity because it could have been a victory as in many matches played until now.

I still have the feelings that score is difficult.. Quirino wasn't so good as lately.. Consadole needs his goals.

The next match is vs Mito at Sapporo Dome. I've read before the club was doing a plan for 30000 people go to the dome this day.
I think that's almost impossible now because the team isn't in a good moment, and in the last match in Sapporo dome only 9899 people went to the stadium, very very few compared to last seasons.

This season the stadium attendance is being really low compared to other years.

The first match vs Vegalta started good, 21000 people but after that it has been decreasing.. Where's the other people now? XD 

How they want to do it? Giving tickets? lol Is sad say that...

But I think if this team would be in J1 in the middle of the table, and with a comfortable stadium as Sapporo Dome, 20000 people would be the average. 
But to tell the truth.. In J2 there are many games, and some games are really few interesting..

So, this Friday I go to Tokyo again. I'll stay there until 27th July. Unluckily Consadole won't play any match in the Kanto area, then I won't be able to watch a match this season. 
Anyway I'll keep following the team results and watching their matches when I can.

Let's believe!

ALWAYS, FORZA SAPPORO!!!!!!!!!

23th match: Consadole Sapporo 1 Yokohama FC 1

Starting lineup:

GK: Aratani
DF: Nishi, Cho, Nishijima, Uesato
DF: Fujita, Miyazawa, Danilson, Okamoto, Claiton
FW: Quirino

Bench: GK: Takahara MF: Haga, Sunakawa FW: Nakayama, Uehara

Is a difficult situation now..Lately there are many mistakes in DF and a lot of problems for score.. 
My  feelings about the team aren’t so good now..

The 1st half was bad and boring. I also think Yokohama did a good match today.
The second started conditioned with early PK caused by Nishijima(quite stupid PK)..

20090625-00.jpg

At least he could score the tie, but that’s not enough, because Consadole wasted a lot of minutes trying to tie the match...

During all this matches Consadole have bad many problems in DF, but if we analize the DF maybe is normal they don’t be very aggressive and do many mistakes.. 
Yesterday’s side backs were:  Uesato and Nishi,  and we can’t forget are midfielders.
I don’t think they are sacrifice players, just they had to adapt to the position because looking to the bench or stand, who can play as side back in this team? 
There are many center backs, but side backs?? And with Yoshihiro is the same.. because Nishijima is quite offensive and Uesato or Nishi too , then 2 center backs suffer a lot.
Yesterday  more bad news, Minowa will be injured 9 months more.. that’s a joke.. XD
I really don’t know who plan the roster.... 

The attack as I say always isn't so dangerous...  The only who do some danger is Quirino.. and for me isn’t an amazing player..  Davi would have scored more goals than him , I’m sure.

Anyway and with all this problems, I think Consadole is quite better than some of the teams above them… Consadole gave many points until now... Could have 10 points more.
Ishizaki isn’t doing a bad work, I enjoyed with the play of the team, but he doesn’t have more..
I support Ishizaki 100% and also the players.

The next match is vs Vegalta in Miyagi Stadium. Very difficult match. For me is the best team after Cerezo.
The promotion isn’t impossible still.. but Consadole can’t lose many points from now.. or will be impossible soon.
But we can’t do nothing, just support the team and wait to see what happens..

ALWAYS, FORZA SAPPORO!!!!!!

Is official!!! :D :D Nakamura will play for Espanyol the next 2 seasons!!

Finally is official!! :D Espanyol announced his sign in their official site now.

I’m Nakamura’s fan since 2001(I started to follow japanese soccer because of him), and one of my dreams has been he plays in Spanish League someday.
After all the rumours about his come back to Yokohama , I though I would never see his play here in Spanish League... Then Espanyol appeared! :D  And Espanyol was the best that could appear!!

This season he will play here in Barcelona, and I’m thinking the possibility of get a season ticket, because isn’t so expensive. 
Is a unique chance to enjoy his play and will be interesting also enjoy Espanyol matches on the new stadium.

Will be exciting see Nakamura playing vs Real Madrid and Malaga.

I think he did the right, because playing here we will be able to keep a high level for the next World Cup. 
I'm sure he will succeed here in Spain. :D

22th match: Shonan Bellmare 3 Consadole Sapporo 2

Again the same story..

Line up:

GK: Aratani
DF: Nishijima,Cho, Yoshihiro, Uesato
MF: Uesato, Miyazawa , Fujita, Okamoto, Claiton
FW: Quirino

Bench: GK: Takahara MF: Haga, Sunakawa FW: Nakayama, Uehara

As I said it's the same story. This can happen once or twice.. but lately is like a habit.. then is a problem..

Consadole was again better than rival, but there is a mental problem..

After overcome the result, Shonan could tie the match ok... but overcome it?? This can't happen!
They run , fight, but after the rival tie the match they always give up....

20090622-01.jpg

Well and I also think there isn't a reference in attack(I'm talking about this season, not last match). 
Claiton and Dani give character to midfield and Cho sometimes to DF but in attack Quirino and Miyazawa seems dead.... Depends on Quirino's goals only is dangerous.. 

But well I think the main problem is mentally. I think this team is better than almost all in J2, but mentally they are really weak..

See teams as Tokushima or Mito (with respect) above Consadole... is sad..

So, about Fujita's cross in the 1-2. Was great, just perfect! 90% of this goal was the cross. I'm glad to see he's being a decisive player again.

20090622-00.jpg

The next match is vs Yokohama FC at home, theoricaly, a easy match.

There distance with 3 top teams is a bit big.. but isn’t impossible and is still possible, is soon for give up.
Let’s think match by match now.

ALWAYS, FORZA SAPPORO!!!!!

21th match: Consadole Sapporo 1 Tokushima Vortis 1 , The same story..

2 points losed again.
Today's match was quite bad and boring, but Consadole was better than Tokushima, that didn't do so much.. but Consadole is like a good friend XD

Without Dani and Claiton Ishizaki decided to put Haga in midfield next to Uesato and play with a 4-4-2 system again.
I liked the line up though. I think he hadn't so much options XD

GK: Aratani
DF: Nishijima, Cho, Yoshihiro,Nishi
MF: Haga, Uesato, Fujita, Okamoto
FW: Miyazawa,Quirino

Bench: GK: Takahara MF: Iwanuma, Sunakawa FW: Nakayama, Uehara

Nothing much to say about the match. Consadole was better but today haven't played a so good match. Tokushima scored in a CK and got the draw.
Again problems for score , well...at least for be dangerous or shoot between three posts XD
5 consecutive matches without score more than one goal in a match... I think the problem exists... and I think that's the main responsible of the most of the points losed until now.

In Consa's goal, Miyazawa's pass was great! As I say always, he's a good player, a lot of class, but he needs to be more agressive sometimes..
Quirino's definition was good, but he didn't do almost nothing today..

So, Nakayama came back! XD I will never like his play haha but I appreciate his effort, he always do his best. I wouldn't use him usually, but in some matches use him will be interesting because of his good heading and dedication.

I'm sad after today's match because the situation is becoming everyweek is more difficult and my hope is decreasing.  But I think criticize them isn't good now.. because there isn't more in bench.. We just can trust in them and believe...

Let's believe.

Kaka on tuesday, Cristiano today, Who will be the next? Villa? Real Madrid come back!

Some months ago Florentino said: "We have to do in a summer what we would do in 3 years" and he's fulfilling this at 100%.

As Florentino says: "Some players have born to play in Real Madrid". And Kaka and Cristiano are two of them XD

Everyone is saying is a madness(Specially Barcelona's president lol) pay 96 million of euros for Cristiano and 75 for Kaka , in total 160 million of euros.But... I doesn't care, I won't pay it lol and I'm sure if he decided to spend this money is because he will recover the money.
Florentino is one of the best or the best businessman of Spain and with him Real Madrid become the most rich Club in the world. 

The 50% of the rights of image of this 2 players will be for Real Madrid.
Kaka and Cristiano generate a lot of money in merchandising, TV spots,etc.. And the 50% of this money will be for Real Madrid.
Florentino is a intelligent person I'm sure he know what he's doing. :)

I don't know if Real Madrid will win next year, but at least I will enjoy a lot seeing in my team this 2 world starts players.
I use to go to Madrid every year then next season I abosolutetly will go to Madrid lol Watch this 2 players together will be amazing :P

And well.. press is talking about Villa can be the next sign.  Villa wanna 48 million euros, but Real Madrid don't wanna pay it and then Florentino wanna offer Negredo(was playing in Almeria on loan) + arround 30 million of euros.

I can't believe it!!! XD

Thank you Florentino for come back and make Real Madrid be again a very powerful team as before.

20th match: Consadole Sapporo 1 Sagan Tosu 2 : How to give the 3 points

Amazing defeat today…
I’m still wondering how consadole could lose this match… But is the same story…

Today Ishizaki changed the formation to 4-4-2. In spite of the result, I liked today’s starting line up.

GK: Aratani
DF: Nishijima, Cho, Yoshihiro,Nishi
MF : Fujita, Danilson, Uesato, Okamoto
FW: Miyazawa,Quirino

Bench: GK: Takahara  MF: Haga , Sunakawa FW Yokono,Uehara

Well… The story is the same. Consadole controlled the match again and had many chances but… seems difficult to score more than a goal lately.
Then, a stupid goal bring life to a dead Sagan Tosu, and they were intelligent… and scored the second..
This happen because then don’t kill the match before..  If consadole would have scored other goal the match would have finish.

But in spite of the result, I enjoyed with Consadole’s play today. I like this soccer style and I enjoy watching the team but they need to finish the chances..

It makes me furious because the team don't deserve be where is now...
Tokushima is with the same points, and Consadole is quite better than Tokushima!

But that's soccer.. if u don't score.. play good is useless.. but well at least we are enjoying..

About the other players , Fujita was specially good today.  He played a good match. Again assisted in the goal. :)

20090608-00.JPG

The next match is at home vs Tokushima. Is a difficult match. They are with same points that Consadole.  Is necessary win for stay continue dreaming with promotion, and I’m sure Consadole can win erfectly..

FORZA SAPPORO!!

19th match: Tochigi SC 0 Consadole Sapporo 1

Good victory last wednesday, although I think it could have been easier if some of the shoots to the post would have get into the goal.

With Claiton out for suspension Ishizaki used Sunakawa in his place and the rest were the same members that played vs Kofu.

GK: Aratani 
DF: Nishijima, Cho, Yoshihiro, Uesato
MF: Danilson, Miyazawa, Fujita, Sunakawa, Okamoto 
FW: Quirino

Bench: GK: Takahara  MF: Nishi FW: Ishii, Yokono, Uehara

This time Yokono was in bench too.

The bad news came after the match when  Consadole announced on the official site that Claiton will come back to Brazil until 18th June due to his fathers disease.
Then he won’t be available the next 2 matches vs Tosu and Tokushima both at home.

About the match, Consadole did a good match and was quite better than Tochigi until last 20 minutes. Consadole had difficulties again for finish the chances, and they were also unlucky because there shoots to the post 4 times!
Sunakawas and Danilson’s shoots were great! Pity the ball didn’t get into the goal… both could have been great goals.

Finally the goal arrived after good cross of Fujita from right side that Sunakawa touch with with the print of foot. 

20090606-00.JPG

Okamoto's substitution in the half time surprised me.
He use to replace him always and I don't know why. I think Okamoto is being one of the best or the best this season.

Miyazawa moved to FW again and Uesato to midfield , again a 4-4-2 . 
I like 4-4-2 and Miyazawa in FW.I would like to see him more there. Anyway I have to say Miyazawa is doing a good job in midfield.  Is good that players as Miyazawa,Nishi,Uesato,etc. can play in some positions because this league is very long.

As I said before, again problems to finish the chances , and this have been a problem in the last matches.  On Wednesday Tochigi had some big chances in the last minutes.. this made me remember Verdy’s match for moments XD Yoshihiro's mistake in last minute could have been the tie! Luckyly for us wasn't nothing.

But I like the way the team plays and we just need the ball get into the goal and this problems will finish...

The next match is at Sapporo Dome again vs Sagan Tosu.
Some weeks ago ,they have got Mike Havenaar on loan from F-Marinos and also Yamase’s brother.  Havenaar showed again in his 2 matches played with Sagan Tosu until now  that he’s a interesting player for J2 because of his height. I think he just has that.. XD Havenaar played with Consadole U-15 until 2006 I think but his father signed as Marinos coach and he moved to Yokohama too.
The last match vs Tokushima he headed at least 2 balls to the post and seems was a problem for Tokushima’s defence. Hope Consa’s defence don’t suffer many with his height.

I guess Ishizaki will use the same members that he used vs Tochigi. 
If Consadole wanna continue in top positions matches as vs Sagan Tosu must be a victory yes or yes.

FORZA SAPPORO!!!

Nakamura maybe sign for Espanyol!!

June started really good for me XD
Florentino come back to Real Madrid and yesterday I read Espanyol did an offer to Nakamura that is free after his contract with Celtic finished.

I've started to follow Japanese soccer because of him and he has been my favourite player since 2001 then this news is amazing for me because he would play during 2 years here in Barcelona!! :D
Espanyol is also a friendly team so I would be really happy if he sign for them because I would be able to watch his matches in the Stadium. :P

But.. Yokohama also wanna sign him.
From some months ago Japanese press is talking about Nakamura's return to Yokohama.
Seems Espanyol's offer is better economicaly and press says he wanna sign for Espanyol.. but there is a really big problem... His wife is pregnant and she wanna come back to Japan,then she promised her to come back to Japan before.

I read his manager is in Barcelona waiting news and if he decide to sign will be a easy negotiation.

Hope he can convice the wife! haha XD

20090603-06.jpg

PD:

About Consadole, I've read Miyazawa is doubt for tomorrow's match vs Tochigi. Hope we will be available finally.
I've also read Minowa did his 1st training with the team and maybe will be ready for August. If he can recover his level he would be a great reinforcement for DF.
Tomorrow must be a victory yes or yes!
