The Wall is High

Tokyo Verdy lost the much against Ventforet Kofe 2-1. Although Masashi Oguro scored a goal, Kofe's defense was really tough. Verdy offense couldn't kick shoots as much as they used to do for past few months. Top 4 teams of division 2 are really tough to beat not because their offense but their defense. It was like they are higher walls than rest of the division 2 teams.

Yukio Tsuchiya, the soul of Verdy defense, got hurt his knee in the first half. After he was pulled the game at the end of the 1st half, Verdy defense got weak. I don't know how bad his knee is at this point; but, I hope he will be back for the next game. Or, we would face a huge problem.

The game itself was pretty good; but, only 5,909 people showed up the Ajinomoto Stadium last night.

壁が高いなぁ。甲府が強いのもあるでしょうが、土屋を怪我で試合途中に失ったヴェルデイはおもしろいように失点を重ねてしまいました。
