Tokyo Verdy won against Tokushima Vortis

Last Saturday night at Kokuritsu Kyougijyou(the National Olympic Stadium), Tokyo Verdy defeated Tokushima Vortis 4-0. Masashi Oguro had two goals. Hiroki Kawano and Kazuki Hiramoto had one goal each. Vortis' 19 years old MF Yoichiro Kakitani was the man to watch in this game according to the media; however, another 19 years old Kawano stole the show with a goal.

I was impreseed by the both teams because they had three games in a week with two days rest between those games. It was third game for both teams that night; but, they moved pretty good. It was really fun game. Oguro played really hard and fast, and Tokushima's difence was great even after their defender Kentoku Noborio got ejected at 49 minutes. I was amazed by their motivations to play.

6,923 people showed up for this much, almost 2,000 more than last Verdy's Home game at Ajinomoto. This number tells me something. I believe it is the time for J-League to allow Verdy to call Kokuritsu its permanent home. Ajinomoto is not for Verdy; Kokuritsu is.

国立霞ヶ丘競技場で行われた対徳島戦。知り合いのツテでチケットを頂き見てきました。知り合いによると徳島の１９歳MF柿谷は非常に見る価値のある選手のようで、なるほどその通りだなぁと感じました。しかし、ヴェルデイの１９歳河野がゴールを奪いチームの勝利に貢献しました。
