Tokushima Uzumaki adds youth training teenagers

Tokushima Uzumaki introduces youth training teenagers, and adds new wings to their strength. In the last round of the league, Tokushima Uzumaki defeated Imaji FC 1:0 away, successfully avenging the regret of losing in the League Cup. The victory in this game is also their ninth victory this season.

In the first half, Tomoto Takagi also made a precise cross, Naoki Kanuma seized the opportunity and broke through the opponent's goal with a beautiful header. In the second half, Junto Aoki also headed the ball, but unfortunately the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out, and Uzumaki Tokushima missed an excellent goal opportunity. After

wins, Uzumaki Tokushima ranked fifth in the league rankings, three points away from the second-ranked Omiya Squirrels RB. This season, Tokushima Uzumaki conceded only seven goals and had excellent performances of 12 wins, with their style very similar to that of Premier League promoted Burnley. What is particularly commendable is that in all competitions this season, Uzumaki Tokushima has never conceded two goals in a single game.

Although Tokushima Uzumaki's defense performance is excellent, the team also has the problem of lack of attack power. Their scored seventeen goals only one more than Yamaguchi Renault and Toyama, who are in the relegation zone. Moreover, Tokushima Uzumaki has scored more than one goal in just five games this season.

Tokushima Uzumaki added five youth team players to the Emperor Cup, including Takeji Fukuda and four others, who were seventeen years old and Tetsuhei Mazui was eighteen years old. Tokushima Uzumaki defeated Sendai's Chinese Valentine's Day in the second round of the Emperor's Cup last year, and lost to champion Kobe Victory Ship in the third round. Coach Matsuda Kozusa said before the game that he hoped to use this to strengthen the team's bench depth, which means that the Tokushima Uzumaki will be a rotation lineup in this game. This week, Tokushima Uzumaki's league opponent will be the leader Chiba Ichihara. This is the strongest conflict in Japan and B this season, and there is no doubt that is the highlight of Tokushima Uzumaki.

Yamaguchi Renault Fa introduced Yushi Shikakata

Yamaguchi Renault Fa tied the leader Chiba Ichihara 0-0 away game in the last round of the league and maintained unbeaten in three rounds. Head coach Shigaki Ryo replaced Korean midfielder Kim Junfan and 20-year-old Japanese midfielder Mai Nagato Ei in the starting lineup. Yamaguchi Renaultfa was on the defensive position in the game. Chiba Ichihara's Taguchi Taguchi shot from the post in the first half, and Yokoyama Akatsuyuki's supplementary shot was saved by Yamaguchi Renaultfa's goalkeeper Martian. In the second half, Yamaguchi Renault got a corner kick, and Okata's sorrowful shot hit the post and almost broke through the old main goal. Before the end of the game, Chiba Ichihara's Yonekura Yonekura was rejected by the Martians. In the end, Yamaguchi Renaultfa gained a valuable point away. They are currently ranked second to last, one point behind Akita Blue Lightning, which is fourth to last.

Brazilian striker Silvio Junior of Yamaguchi Renault has left the team due to a knee injury. Its contract will expire at the end of this month and has not yet made a debut this season.

Yokoyama Shiraki, who scored three goals this season, also missed the game due to injury. To enhance the team's strength, Yamaguchi Renaultfa loaned midfielder Kasama Yushi from Okayama Midori this month.

Last season, Yamaguchi Renaultfa shined on the Emperor Cup, passing the opportunity, eliminated Gunma Hot Spring, Japan Football Academy, Tosu Sandstone and other powerful teams, and entered the quarterfinals in one fell swoop, creating the best record in team history. However, in the subsequent games, they lost to Yokohama Mariners.

In the first leg of the league this season, Yamaguchi Renault lost to Tokushima Uzumaki with a score of 0:2. When we meet again, the team led by Ryoshi Shigaki must have the determination to take revenge and are eager to turn the situation around in this game.

In this game, Uzumaki Tokushima is expected to send a substitute lineup to play, and players such as substitute goalkeeper Nagai Kengu will get a chance to play. Given the launch of the substitute lineup this time, it is really doubtful whether the team can reproduce the rock-solid iron-blooded defense in the league on the field. Looking back on this season, Tokushima Uzumaki was eliminated in one round of the League Cup, and that was the only time they conceded more than one goal in a single game this season. Although the importance of this Emperor Cup is self-evident, the strategic core of Tokushima Uzumaki is still focused on the goal of league upgrading.
