Interesting line-up formation/choice from Bruce. It surprised me. But, this 2nd match was way more competitive, urgent, challenging and fun to watch. Oita definitely had a side with toughness, energy, competitive ball playing & movement. Oita played like a decent, competitive Japanese Premier team. Though still not as good as Gamba Osaka nor Kashima Antlers, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI did not see Ely Allen, nor Brandon McDonald, nor Josh Boateng, and quite a few others on the HDC field.
