Yokohama F. Marinos – the shape of the team and its analysis: the performances in the AFC Champions League were hampered
“The Marinos” made it to the finals of the main continental tournament twice in the early 90s, and they even took the prestigious trophy in 1993. Still, the result was repeated only this spring. On Friday, the Japanese club played the return final against Al Ain.
A 2-1 loss at the home arena was followed by a shocking defeat in the UAE. The representative of Japanese answered the first goal, but conceded again before the break, and it came down to a 1-5 score in the second half! It goes without saying that this tournament was a priority for the J-League vice-champion, and this has a negative impact on the results in the J-League.
The team, which started relatively well, does not win 6 matches in a row: 4 draws and 2 defeats, and, as a result, it has become among the middle peasants of the tournament.
Kashiwa Reysol – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club was able to significantly improve the performance compared to the previous season
“The Sun King” was good at the beginning of the previous decade. Still, the team finished in 17th, penultimate position in 2023, and fortunately this was enough to avoid relegation according to local regulations.
However, the club showed that it is worthy of playing at this level, demonstrating the performance of the middle peasants. It is reasonable to mention 2 defeats in a row at the beginning of May, with Machida Zelvia and Kashima Antlers. Still, then there was a 3-3 draw in the struggle with Tokyo, and it beat both Shonan Bellmare and Consadole Saporo at the home arena with the same score – 2-1.
Also, the club, having beaten Avispa, made it to the quarter-finals of the national cup. It also confirmed its good shape in the battle against Kawasaki Frontale – there happened a 1-1 draw on the away field.
