Player ratings26 Aug 2030

Ryunosuke Sato beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 36. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad26 Aug 2030

Marko Farji is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.71 with 20 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Match24 Aug 2030

Kashiwa Reysol cannot stop winning

5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Market26 Aug 2030

Pedro Cobra hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Kashiwa Reysol can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom26 Aug 2030

Window shuts: 24 in, 26 out at Kashiwa Reysol

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 24 arrived, 26 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market26 Aug 2030

Igor Drapiński has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Kashiwa Reysol they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad26 Aug 2030

Words exchanged at Kashiwa Reysol

Taiyo Koga and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad26 Aug 2030

A row about effort at Kashiwa Reysol

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Riku Yamane was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets26 Aug 2030

Kashiwa Reysol rebuffed over Edson

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Avispa Fukuoka have kept their man, and Kashiwa Reysol go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Player ratings29 Jul 2030

Takuma Asano, 35, rolls back the years — 8.91

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.91 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad29 Jul 2030

Defences have started doubling up on Marko Farji

16 goals and a season average of 7.57 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match27 Jul 2030

Still nobody has beaten Kashiwa Reysol

The unbeaten run reaches 10. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Transfer targets29 Jul 2030

Fee done, terms next for Tsukasa Morishima

Kashiwa Reysol and Kawasaki Frontale have settled on $89.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Market29 Jul 2030

Pedro Cobra puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Kashiwa Reysol, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market29 Jul 2030

Only the photograph left for Igor Drapiński

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Igor Drapiński will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Kashiwa Reysol the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom29 Jul 2030

Igor Drapiński signs for Kawasaki Frontale while still at Kashiwa Reysol

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Igor Drapiński has agreed terms with Kawasaki Frontale for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad29 Jul 2030

Words exchanged at Kashiwa Reysol

Taiyo Koga and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets29 Jul 2030

An offer of $260.0K for Yohei Takaoka

Kashiwa Reysol have gone to Shonan Bellmare with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

The dugout27 May 2030

Miki Endo says Kashiwa Reysol went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad27 May 2030

A falling-out at Kashiwa Reysol

Talles Magno and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match25 May 2030

Jubilo Iwata end the Kashiwa Reysol run at 8

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 8 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Squad27 May 2030

Words at Kashiwa Reysol training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marko Farji is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad27 May 2030

Marko Farji is carrying Kashiwa Reysol

10 goals and a season average of 7.36. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match25 May 2030

Jubilo Iwata take the points off Kashiwa Reysol

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings27 May 2030

Marko Farji in the eights

A performance of 8.39 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout27 May 2030

The manager makes an example of Hayato Tanaka

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom27 May 2030

Nobody left the Kashiwa Reysol dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad25 Mar 2030

Taiyo Koga in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kashiwa Reysol this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad25 Mar 2030

A row about effort at Kashiwa Reysol

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Marko Farji was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Boardroom25 Mar 2030

Kashiwa Reysol beat the market to Hayate Tanaka from Kawasaki Frontale

Kawasaki Frontale will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Hayate Tanaka has pre-agreed a move to Kashiwa Reysol, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Match23 Mar 2030

Kashima Antlers take the points off Kashiwa Reysol

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad25 Mar 2030

Lee Han-Beom reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

The dugout25 Mar 2030

Koki Kumasaka gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings25 Mar 2030

Riku Yamane runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad25 Mar 2030

Home is on Igor Drapiński's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Kashiwa Reysol are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

The dugout25 Mar 2030

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Takefusa Mitoma to a room that had heard them before.

In brief
