Market

Fabian Gonzalez 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 ratings

Age has not caught Kosuke Onose yet — 8.58

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.58 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market

Vissel Kobe join the queue for Shusuke Ota

Add another name to the list: Vissel Kobe have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Shusuke Ota. The answer from Shonan Bellmare has not changed — yet.

Market

Shonan Bellmare turn down Urawa Reds for Soki Tamura

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

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.

Squad

Words at Shonan Bellmare training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nikki Havenaar 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

No hiding place for Nikki Havenaar

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Hiroto Yamada

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Shonan Bellmare

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Bruno Centeno

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.

Market

Shonan Bellmare say no — this time

The offer from Nagoya Grampus for Kosuke Onose was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings

Hiroto Yamada in the eights

A performance of 8.65 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Market

Still no ink between Shonan Bellmare and Nikki Havenaar

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Shonan Bellmare, another week without a signature from Nikki Havenaar.

Market

Arthur Silva told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Arthur Silva has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Shonan Bellmare.

Match

Shonan Bellmare and Gamba Osaka take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Fabian Gonzalez 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.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 6 of the 26 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad

Yuto Suzuki signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Yuto Suzuki commits to Shonan Bellmare for another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Shonan Bellmare

Yuto Suzuki 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Hiroto Yamada

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

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.

Squad

Kosuke Onose 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Shonan Bellmare against Kashima Antlers

0‑1 to Kashima Antlers, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Still no ink between Shonan Bellmare and Hiroaki Okuno

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Shonan Bellmare, another week without a signature from Hiroaki Okuno.
