Kawasaki Frontale has made its second consecutive year to make its first four goals. They won the deadly battle with the Urawa Reds at home, 3-2, and won the two games in a total of 4-3. Midfielder Ito Tatsuya (28) was the key player in the victory.

In the 43rd minute of the second half, he dribbled in from just before the penalty area and hit a mid-range shot from his right foot. They managed to win 2-1. He has scored goals in five consecutive official matches and hit a hit.

Immediately after that, Urawa midfielder Nakajima Shoya scored an artistic free kick, and the match entered extra time, but in the first half of the extra time he dribbled inside the penalty area to induce his opponent's foul. They won a penalty kick, and forward Miyagi Ten scored the final goal.

Ito replied with satisfaction, “I think the value of an offensive player is how many goals they will score, so I want to do it with particular preferences.” When asked about his goals in five consecutive games, he said, “I'm confident after accumulating a lot of things. I probably managed to play calmly today when I scored goals, and I'm in good shape due to a variety of factors.”

Regarding the scene where he dribbled, which led to the winning goal, he recalled, “Because he has scored a goal, it's a bit of a big deal to be able to stay calmer than the opponent. I also feel that my position is established within the team, so I'm still able to do something calm (looking at the situation) without rushing and taking shots at the end.”

However, he revealed that he didn't kick the penalty kick himself, “I mean, I gave in, or entrusted it to him. I'm not very good at penalty kicks. I'm practicing, but I really wanted to kick it responsibly in situations where pressure was under him, but I'm good, so I asked Ten (Miyagi) to do it.”

Even the sharp dribbling has become an indispensable part of Frontale's advances.
