6月30日 Ｊ１総括
6月30日 Ｊ１総括
首位ベガルタと２位サンフレッチェの首位攻防戦は、スリリングな試合展開の末、２-２でドロー。ベガルタは、ブラジル人ストライカー、ウィルソンによる２得点、サンフレッチェの得点は佐藤寿人と森崎浩二によるもの。
ＭＦ清武のドイツ１部ニュルンベルク移籍前の最終戦を勝利で飾りたいセレッソ大阪は、浦和レッズをホームで迎え撃つ。先制点はレッズ。柏木との素晴らしいパス交換から鈴木が先制点を決める。セレッソが追いついたのは土壇場の後半ロスタイム。レッズゴールへの執拗な攻撃が最後に実を結んだ。セレッソにとっては不本意な、レッズにとっては次につながる勝ち点１。
大阪ではもう１戦、ガンバが万博記念競技場でレイソルを迎えた。かつては逆の状況だった対戦も、今の両者の力関係からは「予想通り」の展開に。沢の２得点など、レイソルは前半20分で早くも３-０とガンバを突き放す。ガンバも、遠藤、佐藤の得点で、前半のうちに３-２と追いすがり、後半に期待を残す。だが、試合後半の逆転と、その勢いに乗っての今季後半の巻き返しへの淡い望みを、レイソルは無残にも砕いてしまう。シュート数は10-９で勝るガンバを、レイソルは９つのシュートで６点を叩き出す決定力の差で圧倒した。
今夜２つ目の引き分けは、横浜Ｆマリノスと名古屋グランパスの試合。ガンバ戦での２得点と同様、ケネディーはこの日も永井の得点に絡んだ。マリノスのゴールは中盤での良いプレスから。これが名古屋のミスを誘い、小野のスルーパスに走り込んだマルキーニョスがキーパーの出鼻をかわして叩き込んだ。
西野朗新監督のもとチームの立て直しを進めるヴィッセル神戸は、都倉の目の覚めるようなシュートで、川崎フロンターレを相手に価値あるアウェイの勝ち点３！再構築が進み、選手の自信も増しつつある神戸、上位浮上は現実味を帯びてきた。
後半43分から出場した渡辺のロスタイムでの決勝ゴールで、アルディージャはエスパルスから勝利をもぎ取った。ブラジル移籍前の最後のタッチとなるラファエルからのスルーパスを受け、相手選手を引きちぎって打ったシュートだった。
鹿島はドゥトラのゴールで先制点するも、新潟は、右サイドからの低いクロスに合わせたミシェウの今季初得点で同点に追い付き、試合はこのままドロー。アルビレックスは貴重な勝ち点１を得た。
ジュビロ磐田とＦＣ東京との一戦は、山本修、宮崎、チョ・ビョングクの得点で、ジュビロが少ない好機を逃さず、タフな試合に３-１と勝利した。
鳥栖が後半ロスタイムに途中出場の水沼のヘッドで、ホームゲームをものにした。鳥栖の粘りに札幌はほとんど手中に収めていた勝ち点１を失う！

Takuya Iwanami signs professional forms with Vissel Kobe.
Vissel Kobe have confirmed that 19-year-old Takuya Iwanami has signed professional forms with the club. The 186 cm centre back captained Japan’s U18 team at the U17 World Cup last summer and had been sought by various European clubs. The player even went as far as training and discussions with Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven in May of this year, but has, perhaps, been convinced by new Vissel coach Alira Nishino that his future is in Japan as Vissel rebuild a young team with a view to challenging for an ACL place, a championship and the ACL trophy itself within five years – just as Nishino did with Gamba Osaka!
We welcome Iwanami to the professional ranks and wish him a successful career.
Gamba Osaka Aiming to Raise 2 Billion Yen from Supporters for New Stadium.
According to the web site – http://www.field-of-smile.jp/contribution/index.html – Gamba Osaka’s ambitious financial project for a new stadium – hopefully not eventually actually called Field of Smile – is not doing as well as hoped.
According to a source that may or may not be Ben Mabley (Twitter @BenMabley), Gamba are massively below target in their efforts to attract donations from fans for their new stadium thus far. Of the total 14 billion yen (140 oku in Nihongo – ¥14,000,000,000) projected construction costs, the club planned to raise two billion from supporters. Let’s put that into figures, shall we? It’s 20 oku in Japanese, or ¥2,000,000,000.
Apparently, the 12 billion yen that was allocated to come from companies has been raised but the supporters are letting the side down, as it were. After two and a half months of the year-long collection process, fans have so far contributed 46 million yen – just 2.3% of the target. A questionnaire distributed by the club shows many fans have been put off by team’s poor results, so perhaps the coming weeks will improve things as summer approaches. Talking of summer, Gamba President Kanamori is hoping for donations from people’s summer bonuses which hit pay packets this week (end of June) in most cases.
Gamba are offering personalised plaques in the new stadium to those donating at least 50,000 yen and, since the stadium is to be donated to the local government, private individuals with an annual income of seven million yen can claim ¥48,000 back on a ¥50,000 donation – a huge percentage which SHOULD help the club meet the target.
Whatever happens, it seems that companies like Toto (3 billion yen from them alone) will not allow the project to go under, but I am sure the club is hoping that fans will come through so that Mr. Kanamori does not have to go back to those companies with cap-in-hand at a later date.
Japanese details on what it’s all about and how to contribute at the web site above. I am sure they’d find an English speaker to read your mail if you sent a message to info@field-of-smile.jp
J.League Quick Review Saturday June 23rd
Last weekend we saw SIX away wins from the nine J1 games, and plenty of goals. This weekend was slightly different – THREE 0-0 draws for a start and the goals coming from the bottom of the table.
Gamba Osaka put four past Consadole Sapporo through an Endo free kick, a Kurata long range special, a final minute goal from Takei and an early own goal, credited, so far, to Paulinho! Gamba take on Nagoya on Wednesday night next.
Kashima Antlers must have thought they had the three points wrapped up – from a long range Ogasawara blast – until the referee decided to hand Reysol a PK in added time. Leandro Domingues kick was saved, but Kondo got to the rebound to make it 1-1 and save a point. Koroki had a goal correctly chalked off for offside, also.
FC Tokyo were dire last week so a comfortable 2-0 win against plummeting Cerezo – goals from Hasegawa and Lucas will buoy their fans ahead of their game against Reysol in midweek.
Nahoya Grampus continued to improve, while Jubilo Iwata cntinued to drop points. A Fujimoto free kick on the stroke of half time, and a Nagai shot from a one-two with Fujimoto immediately after the break gave Nagoya a 2-0 win.
Shimizu S-Pulse are probably disappointed to drop points at home to Sagan Tosu, but their lack of goals this season is not helping. Today’s goal was a Genki Omae PK, before Ikeda pulled a goal back and earned Sagan a point. Shimizu’s next goal will be their 1000th in J.League play.
Samfrecce Hiroshima will be disappointed not to make up ground on Vegalta on top with this 0-0 draw with struggling Omiya Ardija. Neither team had a clear cut chance today as the defences did their work and the final passes were not quite there.
Urawa Reds frustrated Vegalta Sendai, playing a very efficient defensive game a home to add to the scoreless games in J1 today. With so many of the higher-placed teams drawing or losing, the league table gets closer together. Tatsuya Tanaka had a late goal canceled out for offside, TV replays were, of course, inconclusive!
In the Kanagawa Derby Yokohama F.Marinos failed to score yet again but will probably be happy with a 0-0 draw, and a point from high-flying, and high-scoring, Kawasaki Frontale.
See you next week, but don’t forget the two games on Wednesday night!
レアンドロ選手 Gamba Osaka – the Return of Leandro!
Leandro Returns.
Gamba Osaka are pleased to announce the return of ex-fan favourite LEANDRO Montera da Silva, on loan from Al Sadd of Qatar. Leandro came to the J.League to play for Omiya Ardija and Montedio Yamagata in 2006, before moving to Vissel Kobe for the 2007 and 2008 seasons where he really made his mark in J1 prompting Gamba to move for his signature. He left Gamba for Qatar in September 2009 after a short, but fruitful period with Gamba.
Coach Masanobu Matsunami will be hoping that the Brazilian can take care of the lack of goals for the team, despite overwhelming possession and chances created. He scored 34 goals in 85 J1 appearances, and notched 27 goals in just 33 games in Qatar – just what the doctor ordered?
His loan contract will run from July 1st, 2012 until June 30th 2013, although he will not be able to play until after July 20th.

Australia 1-1 Japan – highlights, WCQ Brazil 2014 June 12th, 2012
Australia v. Japan highlights… apologies to anyone who doesn’t understand Japanese, and even those who do for the banal yet OTT commentating … dire at times. A good tussle, marred only be the referee’s inconsistency. He was good at times, even brave, and then he bottled it at other times… some of his decisions were bizarre, indeed!
