Life on Top


Kashiwa ventures north to the Great White Kingdom of Sapporo to meet up with old friend Nobuhiro Ishizaki. You may remember Ishizaki as the clubs former manager and the 2005 mastermind of the Verdy slaughter of Real Madrid. The shock removal of Ishizaki was bad for both manager and club as Reysol plummeted to 16th place and Ishizaki failed to get new squad Consadole promoted.
This year sees Consadole hovering just below the middle with 2 wins, 2 losses, and a tie on the campaign. 2 dissapointing blowouts sandwich the two less than convincing wins for the squad. In fact, of the 5 teams that Consadole has played this campaign, none would be considered front runners for promotion.
Consadole is led on offense by former FC Tokyo forward Yusuke Kondo, who netted both goals in a win over Fagiano Okayama. In a more publicized move, Consadole picked up decrepit former Jubilo legend Gon Nakayama, who thus far has shown no impact on the team.
The key to this game will be possesion in the midfield and getting the ball to the feet of Leandro and Otsu. Do that and chalk up a win. Finishing would be nice as well.
EARWIG
This one is a bit dirty so be warned
