Gameday in Kawasaki for the semi final between Frontale & Oita.

Kawasaki is just the best team in Japan, it's true that during the season they had some difficult moment after the departure of important players to Europe but slowly they reached to replace them.

They were champion very easily with 28 wins, 8 draws & 2 losses for 81 goals scored & 28 goals conceded.

On their side Oita, relegated team with the rank 18 they made 9 wins, 8 draws & 21 losses for 31 goals scored & 55 goals conceded. They were just awful the whole season, worst offense of the league and also one of the worst defense of the league.

After a disappointed AFC CL campaign and also Levain Cup where they made a big fail against Urawa, Kawasaki is very motivated for this cup as they don't want to make a season with just a J League tittle.

Kawasaki can count on Leandro Damiao who might leave after this season, Marcinho, Jesiel, Reo Hatate who should go to Europe after this season, Yamane, Ienaga.

As I said, Oita will be relegated so a lot of players will leave the team because the team will reduce the budget, it means also that a lot of players will be very motivated for this game and want to show their qualities. As there is only one first leg, Oita shouldn't play 100% defense on this game but even if they do they will not be able to resist against Kawasaki.

I expect a big one side game and easy win for the home team.

在川崎的比赛日，参加川崎前锋和大分三神的天皇杯半决赛。

川崎队是日本最好的球队，在赛季中他们在重要球员离开后经历了艰难的时刻，但慢慢地他们找到了应对的方法。

他们以28胜8平2负的成绩轻松夺冠，进81球失28球。

大分三神以9胜8平21负的成绩排名第18位，进31球失55球。他们整个赛季都很糟糕，进攻最差的球队，也是防守最差的球队之一。

在经历了令人失望的亚冠联赛和联赛杯（他们在对阵浦和的比赛中大败）之后，川崎对这个杯赛充满动力，因为他们不想让一个赛季只获得联赛冠军。

川崎可以期待本赛季结束后可能离开的莱安德罗·达米奥，马西尼奥，杰西尔等球员出场，以及本赛季结束后应该去欧洲的哈塔特雷奥，山根，家永。

正如我所说的，大分三神会降级，所以很多球员会离开球队，球队会减少预算，这也意味着很多球员会对这场比赛充满动力，想要展示自己的实力。由于只有一回合，大分本应该不会在本场比赛中进行深度防守，但即便如此，他们也无法抵抗川崎。

我预测这是一场一边倒的比赛，主队会轻松取胜。
