So far, Cerezo has been performing well only in the Champions League. In the domestic championship the affairs of Levir Kulpi’s charges are not going at all the way they would like. Apparently, the team will not take part in the main Asian tournament next year. The reason for this is the twelfth place in the table, with which they are 14 points behind the third position. Yes, there are two games in reserve, but what good are they when the last time a club from Osaka won the championship in the championship three months ago? In the last round Cerezo almost lost again, but still managed to snatch a well-deserved draw in the end of the game against Kobe (1:1). Will it finally be possible to achieve something more?
In the near future “Kobe” will constantly feel the pressure of persecutors, of which there are a lot and all of them are located in the immediate vicinity of Atsuhiro Miura’s team, which is in third place. Moreover, the gap does not help to create even a long unbeaten run in the championship, which currently has seven matches, five of which ended victoriously. There could have been more wins, but in the last round guests did not manage to retain a fragile advantage in the match against Cerezo (1:1) on a foreign field, conceding the ball in the 89th minute. But it could not be otherwise, when throughout the entire second half you only do what you defend, without even thinking at least about going out to counterattacks.
