Squad11 Apr 2039

Fayssal Harchaoui keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Yokohama F. Marinos may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad11 Apr 2039

A one-man rearguard from Abduvohid Ne'matov

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad11 Apr 2039

Juan María Alcedo breaks a bone — 71 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 71 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market11 Apr 2039

Ismaila Okpoti is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Yokohama F. Marinos is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad11 Apr 2039

Words at Yokohama F. Marinos training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Riku Yamane 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.

Match9 Apr 2039

Yokohama F. Marinos get the job done against Kawasaki Frontale

A 3‑2 win over Kawasaki Frontale, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad14 Mar 2039

A fracture rules Juan María Alcedo out for 99 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Yokohama F. Marinos will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad14 Mar 2039

Ignacio Maestro Puch keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Yokohama F. Marinos may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market14 Mar 2039

Only the photograph left for Ismaila Okpoti

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ismaila Okpoti will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Yokohama F. Marinos the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market14 Mar 2039

Alaa Bellaarouch’s move to Kashiwa Reysol falls through

The deal that would have taken Alaa Bellaarouch to Kashiwa Reysol has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Yokohama F. Marinos with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad14 Mar 2039

Riku Yamane falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match12 Mar 2039

Whatever happens, Yokohama F. Marinos do not lose

7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad14 Mar 2039

Hassan Khalfan gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Hassan Khalfan has just signed for Yokohama F. Marinos, and for once the answer mattered.

Player ratings14 Mar 2039

A hand in 2 of them from Skye Vink — 6.36

Marked 6.36. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Market14 Mar 2039

Dante González wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.
