Kawasaki Frontale is in good shape With high scoring power Player thickness July 27 0:59
Kawasaki Frontale, who is aiming to win the J1 championship for the first time in two years, is riding the waves. Six consecutive victories since the league reopened on the 4th of this month. During this time, the average score per game is 3 points or more, and the high determinism. Moreover, it shows the thickness of the players who are the key to survive this season of overcrowded schedule, and that momentum is likely to continue.
The match against Shonan Bellmare on the 26th became a game that symbolizes the fullness of Frontale.
From the first half, many times approached the goal and continued to be unable to score, and in the 12th minute of the second half, Bellim's Tariq player had a vivid overhead kick to score the goal.
It was a development that could create a heavy atmosphere, but it did not panic. In the 13th minute, Ryota Oshima of the command tower and Kaoru Sansan of the rookie took turns, and 3 minutes later, Oshima caught up with a counter attack with a one-touch pass to catch up.
In the 33rd minute, Sansampo took the ball and took it in front of the goal without missing the opponent's mistake.
At the end of the match, Aki Tanaka, who was expected to play a defensive role in the midfield, also scored a goal and ended up with a three-point victory.
With this, Frontale was able to extend the winning streak to 6 and put the team's score of 20 points this season. The strength of the players who scored the points can be seen. Up to this point, 10 people have scored, and 6 of them have scored multiple points.
By position, not only forwards and aggressive midfielders, but defenders also participate in attacks to score goals.
Rather than so-called "ace-based" soccer, it has evolved into a team that has a wide range of attack patterns and can keep a high score regardless of who participates.
Director Oniki Tatsumi, who leads the team, said, “I think that I am the thickest player in the sense of the player class. I can trust anyone who comes out. It is hard for the starting players to score points for the players who came in substitution. As a result, I think everyone is fighting. I think that the real production is from here. I want to tighten up more and stick to the goal," he said.
Especially this season, due to the influence of the new coronavirus, we have to complete an unusually crowded schedule of 33 games in 6 months. The rules for changing the number of substitutes for one match were changed from three to five.
Teams that can survive the season by reducing player consumption by making bold changes and replacements are advantageous. Even in that respect, Frontale's momentum is likely to continue.
