Marked for Gaku Kawashima

Squad22 Mar 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gaku Kawashima

21 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Shonan Bellmare lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Vintage Hiroaki Okuno — 8.20

At 37 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.20, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market22 Mar 2027

Tatsunari Nagai 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 Shonan Bellmare can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

Yutaro Oda beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 23. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Hiroto Yamada sends Shonan Bellmare past Urawa Reds

It finished 2‑1, and it was Hiroto Yamada’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Shonan Bellmare.

Words at Shonan Bellmare training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kosuke Shirai 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.

Tempers go at Shonan Bellmare

Shohei Takeda 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.

Tomoya Fujii gives it away

There was no pressure on him and nowhere he had to be. Shonan Bellmare lost a goal to a decision that took half a second and will be discussed all week.

The dugout22 Mar 2027

Takumi Doan: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 2‑1, already talking about the next one.

Words exchanged at Shonan Bellmare

Katsuhiro Nakayama 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.

The dugout15 Mar 2027

Akimi Barada 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.

Match13 Mar 2027

Honours even between Shonan Bellmare and Vissel Kobe

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Player ratings15 Mar 2027

Yutaro Oda was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 14. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout15 Mar 2027

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Takumi Doan was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Shonan Bellmare dressing room was either.

Market15 Mar 2027

The Yohei Takaoka talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Shonan Bellmare know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout15 Mar 2027

Akimi Barada left out for tactical reasons at Shonan Bellmare

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
