Match9 Nov 2026

Shonan Bellmare sink to position 16

8 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Yuto Suzuki 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 Shonan Bellmare this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Shun Yoshida 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.

Market9 Nov 2026

Masaki Ikeda linked with a move away

The name of Masaki Ikeda keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Shonan Bellmare say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

A door opens for Sai Van Wermeskerken

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Ryuki Miura knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Shonan Bellmare, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match3 Oct 2026

The wait goes on for Shonan Bellmare

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Yutaro Oda

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Takumi Nagaishi 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Shonan Bellmare

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

Squad5 Oct 2026

Ryuki Miura signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ryuki Miura commits to Shonan Bellmare for another 1 years.

Squad5 Oct 2026

15 new faces, and Shonan Bellmare are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Douglas

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

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Gaku Hasebe on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Gaku Hasebe after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Shonan Bellmare pick somebody else ahead of Ryuki Miura

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market14 Sep 2026

Kosuke Onose 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 Shonan Bellmare, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Kosuke Onose was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 27. 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.

Match12 Sep 2026

4 matches without a win for Shonan Bellmare

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Shonan Bellmare are no longer polite ones.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Shonan Bellmare

Ryuki Miura 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 dugout14 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Shusuke Ota

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

Match12 Sep 2026

Shonan Bellmare refuse to lose to Yokohama F. Marinos

A point taken on 93 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Shonan Bellmare training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Keigo Watanabe 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.

Match12 Sep 2026

Shonan Bellmare share the spoils with Yokohama F. Marinos

A 1‑1 draw with Yokohama F. Marinos leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad14 Sep 2026

No place for Douglas in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Shonan Bellmare are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
