Prince Takamado Trophy Under-18 Football League 2014, Premier League East, Week 3 preview

24 April 2014

Prince Takamado Trophy Under-18 Football League 2014, Premier League East, Week 3 preview

The third week of the Prince Takamado Trophy Under-18 Football League 2014, Premier League East, will be played on the 27th April (Sunday). 

Shimizu S-Pulse Youth (Shizuoka), who are the only East club that got off their season with consecutive wins, have done well offensively, scoring seven goals in the two gamaes played. They miss a Under-18 national team player Kitagawa Koya for injuries, but they have proven that they are still good enough to post the wins without the core player. ''All the players have tried to show their leaderships,'' Shimizu coach Oenoki Katsumi says. Shimizu's opponents, Tokyo Verdy Youth (Tokyo), scored a goal in the last minute in their previous game to cap a come-from-behind victory, and will come in the next game in a good fashion. It's worth watching between the two teams that have some momentums.

The two teams that are based in the city of Kashiwa will get to square off. Kashiwa, although they are in their first season in the Premier League, have put up a good balance between their offense and defense, scoring four goals and giving up no goals, in their previous two games. ''Ryutsu Keizai University Kashiwa has always been in the same city with us, but we have never had a chance to play against them in an official contest, so this one will have a lot of meaning,'' Reysol coach Shimotaira Takahiro says, referring to their feelings of joy to be able to take on their opponents in the league.
Meanwhile, Ryutsu Keizai University Kashiwa posted a win in their season-opening game and managed to draw with Kashima after they tied the game twice in Week 2. It will be interesting to see if they can strike first this time.
