Shimizu and Promoted Sendai Get off a Good Start



Cezar Sampaio joins to Ventforet Kofu? No, he serves Brazilian foods at a stadium shop in Kofu, jsgoal.jp reports.
After first five matches of J.League division 1, Shimizu S-Pulse goes on the top with no defeat (Yokohama-M 1. Shimizu 2. 3rd Mar). Promoted Vegalta Sendai (Sendai 2. Kashima 1. 4th Mar), beating champion Kashima Antelers today, already wins 10 points. Including Sendai above, Kashima, Urawa, Kawasaki-F, Nagoya, and Hiroshima are defeated only once.

Gamba Osaka struggles. 2008 Asian champions draws third, loses twice without a victory. As new striker Hirai appears players seem not to be best form. Two years of Emperor's cup victory with ACL champions make greater fatigue. (Iwata 4. G-Osaka 3. 4th Mar)

Finke' football in Urawa starts working. It becomes more exciting match by match. "It was like a Arsenal vs Barca match of Champions league. We could not even up because we are not Arsenal", said Shonan Bellmare's coach Sorimatchi. (Urawa 2. Shonan 1. 3rd Mar) I think Urawa was not Barca as well :), we enjoy the match so much.
