(Player's Comment after the game )

● Taisuke Akiyoshi

Frankly speaking, I regret not to get 3points.
We couldn't score even though we made a lot of chances, especially in 2nd half.
We have to make better our finishing and do various attacking.
By the other hand, I appreciate that our DF and GK played hard to protect our goal.
I believe we can win and get better position in the league, if we can play same like 2nd half for whole game for the remaining games.
I have enough time for next game. So I will get into shape !

● Yoshitaka Komori
I could make good chances in 2nd half but not in 1st half.
We supposed to play good from beginning.
We still need to improve the quality.
I also think that it is important for us to have common view as a team and keep trying hard.

-Player's comment after the game-

(No. 5 Takatoshi Uchida) -Suspended. He watched from stand seat-

I couldn't play today. But I could watch a game properly today.

I have an issue with judgement, but i also think that it's better think about next game, it's more important.

Our team built up quite well right now, as you could see us in the pitch today.
We learned a lot in past unbeaten 9games.
We believe in ourselves and what we did in training.
The result will follow....

But it may sometimes change by luck.
So we have to train hard everyday and face to our problem, for getting it on our side.

I will win next game for making everybody happy.
Please support us.

(No. 26 Ryota Kobayashi)
This lost is all the team fault.
I felt Tampines had quick passing compare to the other teams,
but I don't think there are any big differences between them and us.
I regret not being able to win.
We left 7games. I would like to contribute for winning as DF more.

" No. 13 "

No. 13...
What does it come to your mind?

I check "No. 13" out, because one of the players told me some special thing.

Have you heard "Triskaidekaphobia" ?
Triskaidekaphobia (from Greek tris=three, kai=and, deka=ten) is an irrational fear of the number 13; it is a superstition and related to a specific fear of Friday the 13th, called paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia.
(from wikipedia )

I remember that the building, in any other coutries, sometimes doesn't have 13th floor.

So.. The player who asked me is.... " Our No. 13 !! Ryota Doi "
He told me the reason why he chose this number in last today's paper interview.

As you already know, No. 13 is unlucky number in the West.
That's why he took this number. He hope he can be a unlucky player in all oponents.

But on the other hand,I have heard that No.13 is lucky number in Singapore.
We can see the meaning this "lucky 13" on conrad hotel in singapore too.
The outside of a building indicates No. 13!!



Now, we ask him to be a unlucky player for all opponents, and lucky player for us!



We have a game tomorrow.
Opponent will be Tampines which is 4th in the league now.
Please continue to support us!

(No. 13 Ryota Doi)
I was very happy to score, but regret to result.
Shunsuke Sunaga's Cross was perfect.
It was exactly what we want to and trained many times.
The practice really paid off.

Next game will be one of the strong team "Tampines".
I definitely want to win because we lost badly before.
Please support us.

(No.11 Shunsuke Sunaga)
Coaces advised me to cross between GK and DF during half time.
Then I tried and could make the score.
But we allowed them to score soon.. We have to stop this...

I've heard many support's cheers. Thank you for give me a power.
I will play hard. Please continued to support us.

(No. 10 Takashi Mochizuki)
I played as center defense for last 2 games.
TAKA (No.5 Uchida) and Norio-san (No. 25 GK Takahashi) help me a lot.
But Taka will be suspended next game.
So all of us has to play harder and help each other to win for him.
I always appreciate to support us.
Please continue to come stadium and support us.

Learn Japanese? -1-

I believe some of our supporters are interested in Japanese language...
So we introduce some Japanese here today.



Good Morning - OHAYO-
Good Afternoon - KON NICHI WA
Good Evening - KON BAN WA

Good Bye - SAYONARA
See You - MATANE

Excuse me - SUMIMASEN
Yes - Hai
No - I I E

※ "OTSUKARESAMA"
I guess you have heard this word if you have any Japanese friends around you.
This is very common word in Japan.
It used to acknowledge someone's efforts or show your appreciation for the trouble that they have gone through. "Tsukare" means tiredness or fatigue.
But Now, it is something along the lines of “you must be tired,” but it carries with it the implied meaning of “…after working so hard.” It’s essentially the equivalent to the English “nice work.” It’s something you say to a classmate, co-worker, or teammate after a hard day of school/work/sports.
For example, you can say it to players after games.


GIVE IT TRY!

If you have any question about Japanese, do not hesitate to ask us.
