Skylark 5th Stage

Just finished watching Gatas play in Skylark 5th stage.

Yossi is a lousy player~(残念だから、実です） Her shooting is off key, her passing is weak, her dribbing is slow, her judgement is bad, her free kick always head toward her opponent and, most importantly, she even misses open goals. I would giggle when she touched the ball because I knew she would blow her chances away. No hard feelings, she is still my favourite but sometimes bad is bad, there's no hiding it.

Miki is surprisingly good. Her ball control is better than Yossi. And her drive makes her look intimidating to her opponentts. She goes after the ball and tackles hard. She has got striker instinct and aims at goal whenever she's in range.

Rika plays well too. She has good passing and tackles well. I think she is good with set pieces.

Korenaga: The best player. Without her, Gatas is just an ordinary team.

Tsuji: She improved alot, saving a number of sure goals. I believe she will improve with time, going on to become the tower at the back, just like Konno.

Miuna, Shibata and Asami: They played their standard play. Good job.

Satoda: Another lousy player. She kept losing possession, bad since she was a defender.

P/S: Yossi looked aloof when she was in court. I read somewhere that she said it's about 気合い-- way to intimidate opponents. But I think she doesn't have to put on a stern face all the time. And the way she shakes her opponents' hands... Compare her style to other Gatas players and you'll know what I mean.
