Hokkaido Consadore Sapporo lost to Urawa Reds 3-4 in a comeback loss and lost three games in a row. In the first half, which was preceded by two points, FW Jay (38) tied with consecutive goals in the 31st and 35th minutes. In the 22nd minute of the second half, he temporarily won the opponent’s own goal, but was later disallowed with two goals. In J1, he has not won 9 games in a row since 2012 when he lost 9 games in a row (2 draws and 7 losses). The team has been so caught up in a long tunnel that Mihairo Petrovich, 62, who has been in office for the third year, talks about his advancement and retirement in a post-match meeting.

After finishing the 90-minute battle with Urawa Furusato, director Sapporo Petrovich spoke about his advancement and withdrawal without anyone asking him. The last victory was against Yokohama on July 26. He has not scored three points in nine league games. “I feel responsible for the situation of not winning. I do the job that has been entrusted to me. The club has to think about what to do with me.” I have no idea about retiring. However, even if he shows good football and beats the opponent in terms of content, the result alone does not come easily. The frustration with the situation was so great that I put these words together.

In the 20th minute of the start, he was beaten by PK and lost 2 points, but when he scored his first goal in 4 games, he scored the most of 3 goals in Thailand this season. In the 31st and 35th minute of the first half, Jay was invited to the header, and in the 22nd minute of the second half, he invited an own goal from CK right to win 3-2. Due to a lack of decision power, he did not score points in three consecutive games, but the challenge was a scoring run similar to a lie. However, when he got caught in the draw in the 30th minute of the second half, he lost the fourth point in the fourth minute of lost time, and even a point slipped from his hand. DF Fukumori told himself: “In the style of pressing from the front, the one-on-one gets bigger. It is important not to lose against the players who are facing each other.”

Joy should be waiting at the end of the long tunnel. Even if he looked at the numbers on this day, it was hard to believe that he was defeated and the content was overwhelming. He made 23 shots, which is almost three times more than his opponent, and CK was 15 shots and 1 opponent. It’s proof that the enemy team kept pushing. “The day will come when we can achieve results in the current way of fighting. Until then, we have to put up with regret, but the players and I continue to believe.” Both decisive power and defensive power pay off, and I can’t wait for the time when the white star enters.[Kana Hosaka]
