[J1 - 9th] Kyoto Sanga - Nagoya Grampus 0-1

Today Nagoya had one of its less convincing games ever in the last two seasons. With a lot of regulars rested or injured, all they put together were 2 (two) shots in 90 minutes. Still, Sanga managed to lose to them at home, and not so undeservedly, after all. 

 

Somebody explains me the meaning of playing with one forward only, when it is clear that our problem is that we can't score. With Jubilo, we had Toyota as post-player, winning balls for... nobody. And today it was even more stupid, with Paulinho (165 cm) pathetically trying to win high balls booted up by our midfield... I mean, what are the coach and the players thinking? 

 

Even more irritating was yet another start by Hayashi. I follow Sanga since the JFL days, and I have never seen a more useless player. He loses 10-15 balls every game, he doesn't have the power to strike a shot without falling, and when he does, it goes usually 5 or more meters on the side. He is an embarrassment for the club, please get rid of him, really, send him to Tokushima with the others... We have a bunch of youngsters beginning with Koken Kato who are waiting for a chance, why should they wait in the shadow of a "forward" who in three years of Sanga scored two goals... I mean are we kidding? And some japanese fans keep telling me: "SUPIDO GA ARU DE!" (=He is fast!!!). Good!! Put him on a helicopter, drop him in the wilderness in Hokkaido, and let him run fast there by himself, for god's sake!!!!! 

 

And so, we're back where we belong, fighting for permanence in J1, and even a child can tell you that if we don't get two forwards on the field simultaneously, we won't score, we won't win and we'll be relegated. Enough with he BS that Diego is a forward, today he was very often behind Sato as the last of the midfielders, basically taking the place of last season's Sidiclei. 

 

And -last thing, if you will excuse me- if Sidiclei and Paulinho are on the roster to play an average of 10-15m per game, wouldn't be better to get some foreign player who could actually do the difference, just as Grampus and Jubilo did...? 

 

AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww.......
