Wrapped up, Stacked up, Numbered up, Packed up!

Choice is yours Len......

Bloody freezing outside so what better way to spend the afternoon catching up on the Greens? First up some more news from the Shizuoka training camp. The Boys have had another two training matches against University squads and come through unscathed following easy wins in both match ups.

The first a 6-2 result with Inoue netting twice (holy shit!!), new boys Hirashige and Ichikawa finding the target along with Kensuke Fukuda.

The second match up saw The Greens romp home to a 6-0 victory with Hirashige scoring twice, Yoshiaki Takagi, Inoue (this is getting silly....), New boy Marahao and  Yuki Kobayashi all getting on the board.

It must be said that both squads are University level so not too much should be read into these wins....except that Verdy were entirely unconvincing against such quality in pre-season 2010.  You can only batter into oblivion what is put in front of you and the new boys have seemingly got the bit between the teeth and will be pushing each other all the way for the first eleven on March 6th.

Next up is a match up with J1 Yokohama Marinos at Marinos Town on Sunday, altogether stiffer opposition so let`s see how we do there.

Other news, Brazillian midfielder Leonardo (who has been on Verdy`s books since the dawn of time but always loaned out) has finally been fully transferred to Giravanz Kitakyushu. After 16 appearances and 2 goals for Tochigi in 2010, the crappest team ever to play in Japan have taken a punt on him. He must be delighted to have found a club but he must wonder if he`d be better off picking up his maraca`s, glittery thong, feather head dress and chancing his luck in Asakusa High Street of a weekend. All the best Len and good luck!!
