Zhirayr Shaghoyan asks to leave Kashima Antlers

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Marlon Fossey is on his way

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

Hiroto Noda keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Kashima Antlers may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Naomichi Ueda shuts the door

Defensive actions: 26, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

A move Powell Obinna Obi would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Powell Obinna Obi is living that version at Kashima Antlers, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad17 Mar 2031

Naomichi Ueda 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 Kashima Antlers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Kashima Antlers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tomoki Hayakawa 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.

Mehdi Pouraliganji was the difference for Kashima Antlers

Marked 7.72. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Nobody could get near Yuta Matsumura

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad23 Dec 2030

Kaoru Suzuki breaks a bone — 26 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market23 Dec 2030

Emilio Di Fulvio 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 The request is on a desk at Yokohama F. Marinos, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad23 Dec 2030

Powell Obinna Obi: 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.” Yokohama F. Marinos have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
