Full highlights and interviews with Albirex’s Pedro Junior (2 goals) and Albirex’s head coach.
Sadly the guy who usually posts highlight clips off the TV broadcast has disabled embedding of all of his videos, but there’s enough handheld stuff to make up for it. All photos are mine, all YouTube vids are their respective owners’.

So, I can’t start this blog without saying something about the Tokyo Derby that took place yesterday evening, resulting in the most energy I’ve ever seen come from our supporters. However much we hate Verdy, it’s obvious that the Tokyo Derby is good for both sides and so I wish Verdy the best of luck in staying at the bottom of the division, but not so far down as to get relegated 
In any case here’s a few videos that should sum up the day quite handily:
スパサカ Pickup Feature
Coverage from TBS’s well-known football program. Includes audio of Verdy’s manager getting pissed after Fukunishi’s yellow card.
Homemade Compilation
This appears to be shot from the sidelines or from damned close to the field in any case. Good angles on the two FC Tokyo goals.
Postgame bow & シャーシャーシャ Cheer
This cheer was originally started by Amaral back in the day. The thing is that in the last couple weeks, duties to deliver this cheer have fallen to new players such as Otake (last week against Sapporo) and Hanyu (this week against Verdy). Unfortunately, Hanyu had no idea what to do, and so after some confusion he had to run over and ask other teammates for instructions. Fortunately Nagatomo joined him at the last minute to help out when he still seemed lost and then performs some acrobatics of his own.
Next match, this coming Wednesday at Kokuritsu against Jubilo Iwata! It’s a weeknight Nabisco Cup qualifier so I don’t expect that the supporters will be anywhere near capacity, but as it’s been 8 or 9 months since I’ve been to these grounds I’m looking forward to it.
