Vs Shimizu S Pulse (away) 17/7/21 J League match18

 

Shimizu S Pulse 0 - 2 Kawasaki Frontale

Shimizu away is a game and a trip I always look forward to. But on Friday night I had my first Corona vaccine and on Saturday had (perhaps) my first 39.2 degree fever so in spite of having a ticket I neither attended or even watched the game. So, probably any reader could write a better post about the game than me. The only thing I want to bring up about this match is that Hasegawa's absence was curious. We have a couple of staff members who got Corona-d on the way back from Uzbekistan apparently so I wonder if he had close contact with them. But usually Corona related things are mentioned even if the players aren't named. Perhaps it was an injury. Miyagi mentioned that his inclusion was a a bit last minute in his match comments so maybe it was the latter. The other possibility could be that he is going to be transferred, but it would seem to be a bit foolish to transfer both our first and second choice on the left up front within a couple of weeks. If it is a transfer, one to overseas would be something that's difficult to turn down if you're thinking of the player's feelings. If it's within Japan, I can't understand why we'd allow it at this time. Anyway, this is a lot of words on what is probably just a minor injury and as I have nothing to say about the match let's call it a day. Next up, JEF United away on Wednesday in the Emperor's Cup.
