President Satoru Sakuma’s slogan, “Fast and Tongue,” is a word that vows to fight through with the spirit of Ventforet, which is to “attack vigorously and never flinch at any time.”
Kazuhiro Sato of the returning group. Since 2019, he will play in Kofu for the first time in four seasons. Sato is a valuable veteran group who feels more fearless than when he was 19 years old. He also expects leadership to pull young people.
VF Kofu held a press conference to announce the new system for the 2023 season (@Yamanashi Prefectural Library event space) on Saturday, January 7th. President Satoru Sakuma, Yosuke Nishikawa, head coach, Yoshiyuki Shinoda, coach Yuji Yokoyama, and 13 new players (including Yamato Naito, who joined midway through last season), excluding Peter Utaka (scheduled to join the Shizuoka camp at the beginning of the season), attended the press conference. . President Sakuma announced that the slogan for this season would be “ Gale and Doo ”, and for the time being, the organization will start with 3 GKs and 30 fielders for a total of 33 people. There is a story. Director Shinoda said, “I want to make the whole Yamanashi prefecture lively. I want to dedicate everything to VF Kofu. (About VF Kofu until last year) Every year I have a training match with Shimizu, but I want to be a little more aggressive. I wish I could show you,” he said. Coach Shinoda wants to emphasize the word “aggressive,” and President Sakuma said, “I expect the team to accumulate points with easy-to-understand, simple football.” I’m curious about how the football flow that I’ve built up over the past four seasons will turn out to be, but things may be a little different on the ground. Nothing is good or bad until it starts. First of all, the honeymoon between the new team, fans, supporters, sponsors and the media has begun. At the press conference, Coach Shinoda said, “I’m thinking about the basic 4-back, 4-2-3-1. It will change depending on the game, such as 3-back, 4-1-4-1, and 4-3-3. Determine opponents and players. I want to make a final decision,” but since the new manager clearly stated the starting position at the first press conference, the competition will start with 4 backs, double defensive positions, 2 wides, 1 lower top, and 1 top. It will be. Players should have started to think about how they will be used.
WaThere are two tops in the front and second half, so it will be two slots, but the CB, side back, wide, and under top are quite crowded, so it will be interesting to see who will be sitting on the chair. It seems that only Kohei Kawata, Eduardo Mancha, and Kazuhiro Sato are likely to be able to get a seat from the starting station (our guess). No. 10 Motoki Hasegawa and Yoshiki Toriumi, who I want to be the ace this season, will compete with Kosuke Taketomi, but there will be simultaneous appointments. Two training matches are scheduled at the Shizuoka camp, and four training matches are scheduled at the Miyazaki camp. I would like to see with great interest how who will appeal at the camp, what kind of practices Shinoda will use, and what words he will use to build the team.

A press conference announcing the new system, which was broadcast live by the sponsor company, Phonet Co., Ltd. The preparations for the live broadcast induced a sense of tension, and everyone was stiff in the beginning. Before the press conference started at 11 o’clock, there was also a scene where Yamato Naito (left) corrected the position of the pin badge of Shion Inoue (right).
