REPORT
About time to press the alarm button?　Probably…
Frankly speaking S-Pulse did not answer to their fans’ hopes. You could sum up the day as a wholesale rudderless wreck.

Truth to tell they missed the key role both defensively and offensively of the still injured Renato. You may have a fine-looking squad but if it cannot cement itself as a force the minute they miss a key player here is a lot to worry about.

According to Head Coach Shinoda, there was no speed, no timing, no tempo in conducting the game compared to the 90-minute stamina of their fellow strugglers Sendai. The first goal in the 20^th minute started with a poor pass being intercepted and the second goal three minutes into the second half came from a poorly defended corner kick.On the other hand S-Pulse with twice as much possession and passes had 13 shots at goal, but not a single one on target.

Well, they will have to regroup quickly against their next opponents at home against Oita Trinita, a very thorny proposition, but they will be able to count of the presence of Renato.Let’s hope that the fans will have at last something to rejoice about!
