The Jubilo Iwata Chronicle

2 Apr 2035
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market2 Apr 2035

Bruno Centeno 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 Jubilo Iwata can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout2 Apr 2035

Bruno Centeno: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Jubilo Iwata have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market2 Apr 2035

Ippei Takahashi is on his way

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

Squad2 Apr 2035

Tempers go at Jubilo Iwata

Bruno Centeno 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.

Squad2 Apr 2035

Jubilo Iwata count the cost of losing Noah Kenshin Browne

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout2 Apr 2035

No hiding place for Yusuke Onishi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Yusuke Onishi, and the manager let it.

Market2 Apr 2035

Talks stall between Jubilo Iwata and Sandro Galeano

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad2 Apr 2035

Junya Ueda makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

The dugout2 Apr 2035

Sandro Galeano asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The Jubilo Iwata Chronicle

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match3 Mar 2035

Jubilo Iwata taken apart

0‑3 to Vegalta Sendai, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Squad5 Mar 2035

Yosuke Inoue stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market5 Mar 2035

Takumi Minamino 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 Jubilo Iwata, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market5 Mar 2035

Ippei Takahashi is on his way

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

Market5 Mar 2035

Takumi Kamada’s move to Sagan Tosu falls through

The deal that would have taken Takumi Kamada to Sagan Tosu has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Jubilo Iwata with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad5 Mar 2035

Takehiro Maeda gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Takehiro Maeda has just signed for Jubilo Iwata, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad5 Mar 2035

Tempers go at Jubilo Iwata

Bruno Centeno 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.

Squad5 Mar 2035

Dylan Demuynck 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.

Boardroom5 Mar 2035

Jubilo Iwata still without a manager

13 days since the seat came open, a list of names doing the rounds, and nobody has signed anything. Every week this drags on the shortlist gets shorter.
