4 Out Of 4

The Boys edged out Yokohama Marinos in the latest friendly yesterday. Marahao eqaulised an opening Marinos goal before Goal Machine opened his pre-season account with the winner in the second half. No news of line ups for this game (or any other so far this preseason) but seemingly whichever line up Coach Kawakatsu is choosing it`s the right one. Hope is a dangerous thing especially in the land of Verdy, but so far so good this pre-season. The goals are going in the right end, two J1 scalps and all FORWARDS appear to be doing well. After having only Hiramoto and Inoue as out and out strikers last year, we are looking good in terms of possibilities, combinations and competition for places up top.
