Head Coach Joco says, the formation of Jubilo in this year is 3-5-2. In last year, it was 4-4-2 basically. But, members are almost the same as last year. Nakayama and Takahara are FW(2-top). A right side (or left side) doesn't care even about which out of two people. If they got tired, Kawaguchi plays. Offinseve-MF are acted by Oku and Fujita. Left wing is Hattori, Right wing is Ando, and middle is Miura. Fukunishi playes as Libero. Suzuki and Ihara are Side-Back. GK is Ozaki (It couldn't decide whether it was Ogami). It feels not bad though this formation is orthodox. |

It is basically same as No.1. Ihara putted as Center-Back. Suzuki and Tanaka are the points of the defense, and have even the cardinal point of the attack. He does a function like a Boranti rather than Libero. Ihara is the "last fort" in the defense. He does the duty of so-called old sweeper. GK is "Asian guardian deity" Ogami. | |
FW of Takahara and Nishi play as FW. Their attack is probably feels menace for the opponents. Oku and Saeki (He was estimated as No1.MF in university league). Yamanishi, Fukunishi, Kanajawa play as diffensive MF. DFs are Hattori, Suzuki and Tanaka. It become 3-5-2 formation which Joco Likes(?). GK is Matsusita (promoted from Jubilo-Youth team). It is very happy if they are active in this year. In World-Cup 2002 they will become member of Japan National Team. |
