Most of starting players last year renewed the contracts this year but also they got new players who played for the other teams as starting players last year.
Last year Their GF wasn’t too bad(1.4 /per game, total 48: 6th in the league) but GA average was the worst record 2.1( total 70 through the last season) in the league, so this year their focus point should be rebuilding defence tactics. S-Pulse fans have high hope for their new Spanish boss Lotina to change the team which takes the initiative for both defensive and attacking situation.
He came to Japan in 2016 to coach Tokyo Verdy ( J2 League) and coached Cerezo Osaka(J1 League) for 2 years (2019-2020). Before he coached Tokyo Verdy, They finished 18th/22teams. But he succeeded in rebuilding the team and finished 5th at first year and 6th in 2018 season. He loves attitude of Japanese players and it’s easy to imagine that their attitude helps him to organize the team and let them do what he wants. He believes that Japanese players fit Spanish football, so he aims to collaborate Spanish style with Japanese strength. There are many young players in his team who have high potential. Fans really hope that he stimulate them and bring out their potential.
