J1 Albirex Niigata's new forward Boudah (25) showed off his ability. On the 11th, the match against Cerezo Osaka was a comeback loss 1-3. This is the only light of the club's worst losing streak. The forward, who has just come from Sweden, has played the full game, and has a mileage of 11.001 km, ranked number one in the team. He ran right to left and started the attack on the front line.

In Niigata, the two center backs used longer balls more than ever before. And Bouda ran to aim behind the opponent. In the beginning, the final line was set high, making the formation compact. With this formation, you can collect the missing balls and lead to a second attack. And then, in the second minute of the first half, defender Horime scored the opening goal and bear fruit.

However, in the 13th minute, when goalkeeper Fujita tied the game, the opponent gained momentum, and Niigata's formation gradually increased. The number of players running to support Boudah is less and the vicious cycle is no longer possible to pick up any loose balls. Although they managed to endure it, the long ball that was released in that situation was bounced back and was hit by the counter and turned the ball around.

However, in the 44th minute of the second half, Buda also showed his strength in the air battle, heading a left cross from a shallow position from defender Hashimoto. It was not seen much in the first half. From the second half, he created a good opportunity with a cross attack on the newly joined forward, 186cm.

The mark on Bouda will likely become stricter in the future. The data shows that a foreign forward who just came to Japan from Sweden, a relatively cool place, has reached number one mileage in the heat that is unique to Japan. The Japanese attackers around them are required to first escape from a losing streak, and then have more hard work.[Ishikawa Hidekazu](Nickan Sports.com/Soccer Column “Analytical Cooking”)
