FC Tokyo finished 6th last season and it was considered as a good result despite they couldn't secure a place in ACL.

For this year the goal is to enter in top 4 place or win at least the Levain Cup.

In transfer market they keept all the important players from last season like the brazilian trio st Diego Oliveira, mid Leandro, st Adailton and some of the best japanese players def Morishige or mid Higashi. They added def Bruno Uvini from Saudi Arabia and some other alternative players.

Coach Henta Hasegawa also confirmed for this season.

So far Tokyo collected 1 win and 1 draw in J1 against Cerezo Osaka and Urawa Reds, and 1 win against Tokushima in the Cup

For this game the only missing is def Uvini who still can enter in the country.

Vissel Kobe in other hand finished 14th last season.

It was a disappointing season for all the team. They even changed the coach during the year and this 2021 started with Atsuhiro Miura.

In transfer market important def Dankler and Nishi left, while joined the team talented st Lincoln from Flamengo for a big fee and st Masika from BJ Renhe.

Vissel Kobe also started with the same results as Tokyo but against opponents Gamba Osaka and Tokushima in J1 and win against Oita Trinita in the Cup.

For this game coach Miura have a limited number of players as mid Iniesta is injuried while other foreigners are still out because of covid rules.

Coach also said that the team didn't had much time to prepare this game.

I think Tokyo is more solid as they have almost the same team of last season, while Vissel Kobe have also important missings for this game. Without Iniesta they lost a lot of qualities in midfield.

GL!

东京FC上赛季以第六名的成绩结束了比赛，尽管他们无法在亚冠中获得一席之地，但这被认为是一个不错的结果。

今年的目标是进入前四名，或者至少赢得日联杯。

在转会市场上，他们保留了上赛季所有的重要球员，比如巴西三重唱圣迭戈·奥利维拉，中莱安德罗，圣阿岱顿，还有一些日本最好的球员森茂茂和中东。他们增加了来自沙特阿拉伯的def Bruno Uvini和其他一些替代球员。

教练Henta Hasegawa这个赛季也会继续执教。

到目前为止，东京在J1中1胜1平，对手是大阪Cerezo和浦和红钻，在杯赛中赢了德岛

在这场比赛中，唯一缺少的是后卫Uvini。

另一方面，神户胜利上赛季排名第14。对全队来说，这是一个令人失望的赛季。他们甚至在这一年更换了教练，2021年由三浦敦宏开始。

在转会市场上，重要的德夫·丹克勒和西西离开了球队，并以高价从弗拉门戈加盟了天赋出众的圣林肯，从BJ人和加盟了圣马西卡。

神户的开局也和东京一样，但在J1中对阵对手大阪刚巴和德岛，并在杯赛中战胜了三分大分。

在这场比赛中，教练三浦的球员数量有限，因为米德伊涅斯塔受伤了，而其他外援由于新冠肺炎的规定仍然不能上场。

教练还说球队没有足够的时间来准备这场比赛。

我认为东京更有实力，因为他们几乎和上个赛季一样，而神户胜利在这场比赛中也有重要的缺阵。没有伊涅斯塔，他们在中场失去了很多优势。
