Massimo grabs Pohang Steelers’ destiny for next stage
Nagoya absolutely had the good start against Pohang and they passed the group stage as the first place though they still have one more game. While Nagoya doesn’t need to bring 100% next their match, Pohang needs to win this game to secure their tickets for next stage. Usually people imagine that Nagoya try young players because there are no impacts on losing this game. But the Italian coach is known as the person who hates losing games. He always use the same members in J1 League. I don’t think he does the same thing under this grueling schedule. Pohang pray that he Massimo will take it easy..

・Yoichiro KAKITANI showed outstanding skills, his quality is still the world class.

Nagoya has the risks on their behind
・Pohang delivered the high ball to the wide area. Yutaka YOSHIDA and MIYAHARA handled with those balls last game, but it’s enough to say that they have disadvantage on their height to Korean players.
・When the ball was delivered to the space behind Nagoya’s defenders, there were a big gap between Nagoya’s defenders and midfielders because YONEMOTO approached the ball to Pohang’s defenders and made big space behind his back.
