4 matches without a win for Ventforet Kofu

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

Words exchanged at Ventforet Kofu

Kotatsu Kumakura 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.

Yudai Tanaka arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Yudai Tanaka has, at Ventforet Kofu, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Door shut on Tiago Caballero

Ventforet Kofu asked and Olimpia said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Ventforet Kofu are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 4 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

A bad afternoon for Ventforet Kofu against FC Tokyo

1‑2 to FC Tokyo, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Nagatomo Sakai answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Koki Oshima dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

When it matters, Lazar Romanic plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Chastening afternoon for Ventforet Kofu

A 0‑3 beating by Kashiwa Reysol was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Daichi Hayashi due for a Ventforet Kofu medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Ryota Oshima turns down Ventforet Kofu

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Kawasaki Frontale keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Ko Haraguchi steps up from the Ventforet Kofu academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ko Haraguchi has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Ventforet Kofu promote Kento Doan from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Kento Doan has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Nobody left the Ventforet Kofu dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

In brief

  • Squad Ventforet Kofu are still strangers to each other
  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • The dugout Yuto Hiratsuka is still being punished for one mistake
