The reporter reported coldlyIn the away game on the 13th, Kawasaki Frontale defeated Shandong Taishan 3-2, and they will play the second leg against Shandong Taishan this week. Kawasaki Frontale has one more game to play before the AFC Champions League rematch, and that is the Japan Super Cup. Obviously, Kawasaki Frontale is more focused on the AFC Champions League, and they changed the starting 11 at the 13th game to play the Super Cup with a substitute lineup. With a goal from defender Van Vermeskren, Kawasaki Frontale won the Super Cup with a narrow 1-0 win over Kobe.
Considering that the second leg of the AFC Champions League 1 8 final will be played with Shandong Taishan in a few days, Kawasaki Frontale made a thorough rotation, and the starting 11 of the Super Cup were completely different from the AFC Champions League away against Shandong Taishan, and the four players who came off the bench against Shandong Taishan were central defender Yuichi Maruyama, left back Hideto Tanabe, midfielder Furuki Se and right winger Shin Yamada started in the Super Cup. Among the starters who started the away game against Shandong Taishan, midfielder Kento Hashida, midfielder Yuki Yamamoto, left-back Yusuke Segawa and Brazilian left winger Marsinho were included in the Super Cup squad, and all four came off the bench in the second half.
The forward trident is the French veteran Gomi, the Brazilian new left winger Feron and the newcomer Yamada new who came off the bench to assist the third goal against Shandong Taishan, and the midfield is the Brazilian new recruit Zericado who is in charge, and the 27-year-old Sekoki is still one of the main midfielders in the AFC Champions League group stage, but when it comes to the 1 8 final away game against Shandong Taishan, Oniki Da reuses the new signing Yuki Yamamoto in the midfield.
Due to the relatively new lineup, it took time to find a tacit understanding to cooperate, and the Kawasaki Frontale played a little unhurried in the first half, and the two sides were 0-0 at halftime. Tatsu Oniki only allowed starting left-back newcomer Hideto Tanabe to play half time before replacing him with Kaeda Miura, who then replaced Brazilian signing Feron for half an hour. French center Gomis, Brazilian midfielder Zericardo and double central defenders Yuichi Maruyama and Yukidai Takai all played the whole game. The introduction of a number of players this season has given Kitakita the idea of more rotation, and perhaps two sets of lineups will be formed for different games in future games.
Half-time goal-raising, mixed-race right-back Van Vermeskren, who helped Kawasaki Frontale win the title, was born in the Netherlands and moved back to Japan with his family at the age of two, and returned to the Netherlands at the age of 19 after graduating from Kofu Kazahiya Academy, joining from Nijmegen in the Eredivisie earlier this year. He will be in the right-back position in the new season, competing with Asahi Sasaki, who started against Shandong Taishan.
In the winter window, Kawasaki Frontale has changed its lineup greatly, with Brazilian center forward Damion, midfielder Schmidt, forward Daisho Miyashiro, midfielder Kazuya Yamamura, left-back Tosato Tohei, right-back Yamane Shirai and other main or rotating main players leaving, and 9 new signings have been introduced, including Botafogo center forward Erisson with a transfer fee of up to 3.2 million euros, Brazilian midfielders Ferron and Zericado, midfielder Yuki Yamamoto, left-back Kaeda Miura, Dutch-Japanese mixed right-back Van Vermeskeren and central defender Yuichi Maruyama.
In previous seasons, Tatsu Oniki has also experimented with a rotation system in which all players in the squad are involved in the game, and last season's lineup in the J1 League and AFC Champions League group stage was different. The main left and right defenders who played in the group stage of the AFC Champions League last year, Noboru Yamane, Kazuya Yamamura, and center forward Damion all left the team, so that Tatsu Oniki needs to finalize the main framework through games and training. The 39-year-old South Korean goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong, central defender Takuma Dainan, defender Kento Hashida, left midfielder Taito Wakisaka, left winger Marsinho and 37-year-old right winger Akihiro are the most trusted players of Tatsu Akiki, and the new signing center forward Erison, midfielder Yuki Yamamoto, left back Kaeda Miura, Japanese-Dutch right-back Van Vermeskren and Brazilian central defender Jesser, who was already in the team last year, are part of the real main squad of Kawasaki Frontale in the new season.
The starting lineup of Kawasaki Frontale in the away game against Shandong Taishan is basically the strongest match in the mind of Akiki Tatsu at this stage. Central defender Shintaro Cheya, midfielder Shota Oshima, wingers Tenten Miyagi and Daiya Tono have all missed recent games due to injury, but there are more suitable personnel available in the relevant positions and will not affect the Kawasaki Frontale's two-line operation. If the framework has been put in place, future competitions will make reasonable personnel adjustments according to the situation.
Should there be any sudden pre-match injury, Kawasaki Frontale should have almost the same lineup as they did in the first leg against Shandong Taishan at home. What may change is that midfielder Furuki Se, who came off the bench in the first leg, is likely to start. At full-back, there is news that Kawasaki may transfer players, and the decision will be made depending on the latest progress of the transfer. Brazil's new striker Erezon scored a goal in the last leg, which was his first goal since joining Kawasaki Frontale, and Erezon, who ranks second in Kawasaki Frontale team history in terms of transfer fee, will be the biggest threat to Shandong Taishan's defense.
