J2 Shimizu S-Pulse GK Shuichi Gonda, a former Japan national football team player who also participated in last year’s Qatar World Cup, has been controversial for his actions during the match.

May 17, 2023 Section 16 Jef United Chiba match (Fukuda Denshi Arena). Immediately after conceding a goal, he threw the ball and was rammed by the Chiba players who were delighted with the goal.

“A case that is not strange even if a card comes out”

What caused controversy was Gonda’s behavior right after the goal in the 42nd minute of the second half. In the midst of the melee in front of the goal, Jeff Chiba’s Tsuneki Yonekura scored a shot to the left of the goal to score the long-awaited opening goal. Yonekura, who celebrated his 35th birthday on the day of the match, collapsed in front of the goal and swallowed his joy.

Having scored a goal, Gonda picked up the ball and threw it vigorously toward the front of the pitch with an underhanded throw. The ball hit Yonekura, who was lying on his back in front of the goal, and Jeff Chiba, who gathered around Yonekura.

When the J League official Twitter tweeted the video of the scoring scene, saying, “The dramatic winning goal on his 35th birthday, for the beloved club that started his professional career,” he commented on Gonda’s actions, saying, “It’s not intentional. Is there a suspicion?

“Gonda-san, this is no good.”
“Where’s the sportsmanship gone?”
“GK throwing the ball into the goal celebration is terrible, he’s clearly aiming for it.”
“A case that is not strange even if a card comes out”
“I don’t know what I was thinking when I threw the ball, but from the outside it looks like an act of retaliation.”

On the other hand, it was pointed out that Gonda was just trying to advance the game, and that the ball hitting him was a coincidence.
