The Saitama Derby that doesn't count

We tend to win the games that don't count for much. We're in the finals of the Nabisco cup, but we can't win our J-League game and find ourseleves fighting against relegation.

Now we have another Saitama Derby, this time it's only a training match and would you believe it the result is in our favour. The time when it doesn't count we win and the man who can't score in J-1 scores the only goal of the match. Ranko has been our consistant goal scorer in the Nabisco Cup but he struggles in league matches.

At the end of the day, yes the result doesn't matter (even though it's good to win), but it was good to see our fringe players play well. Hopefully some of these players will show their worth to team manager Hori.

This was the starting XI.

GK: Yamagishi
DF: Takahashi, Tsuboi, Spiranovic, Okamoto
MF: Kojima, Hara, Aoyama, Takasaki, Mazola
FW: Ranko
