As the match is prepared as the part of 150th anniversary of the opening of the port Yokohama, or the celebration of Nakamura Shunsuke's returning from Scotland if Yokohama didn't fail to agree with him, it is in the news of the week. The league is resumed after about a month break of World Cup Qualifier. Fortunately they won the ticket for South Africa, but the content of the National Team's match is far from the coach Okada's catch phrase of "be the best four of the World". All supporters are waiting for this weekend. In the beginning, Urawa takes advantages and makes several chances. But after failing to score, Yokohama's fast attacks begin to shut Urawa's possession based football. In the second half, Yokohama completes beautiful counter attacks and stopped Urawa. Today is the worst match of Volker Finke's new Urawa Reds. It is the first time for me that I cannot understand what's happening in the match of Finke's team. Several reasons are easy to be thought up. It is known that counter attacks are effective for beating this year's Urawa, World Cup Qualifiers break created a gap between young Reds and the Internationals, best of all today's Marinos worked very hard and solid. Every time after the match, Finke gave up an hint of the match but not today. He only said that "it is difficult to describe why things didn't go well today". Until today, Finks changes Urawa Reds significantly. He won't unveil every thing about today's question. But it is obvious that Finke's school goes into the new semester.
