Squad

Tempers go at Kawasaki Frontale

Kota Tawaratsumida was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at Kawasaki Frontale training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Asahi Sasaki 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.

Squad

Home is on Nicolás Vidal'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; Kawasaki Frontale are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Kawasaki Frontale

The unbeaten run reaches 29. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

Jessey Sneijder damages knee ligaments — 21 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 21 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Kawasaki Frontale tear Shonan Bellmare apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 5‑0 against Shonan Bellmare, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

Both of them Kota Tawaratsumida's — 8.59

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.59, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

A brace, and Daniel Karlsbakk takes the afternoon — 8.30

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Daniel Karlsbakk provided it, and the 8.30 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

11 seasons of Kaito Tsuchiya

54 appearances across 11 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Kawasaki Frontale know what they have.

Market

Nicolás Vidal asks to leave Kawasaki Frontale

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Kota Tawaratsumida

14 goals and a season average of 7.47 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Tempers go at Kawasaki Frontale
