BEFC Golden Boot 2016 - Kentaro Takahashi

  • BEFC Golden Boot 2016 - Kentaro Takahashi

Congratulations to Ken, winning the BEFC Golden Boot as top scorer for 2016 with 15 goals (mostly in the space of 8 games).
Winner last season with 9 goals, Ken's determination to improve his scoring tally and win the TML Golden Boot has been boosted by his partnership with Alo Säkk, encouragment to pass the ball (you will get it back) and enforcing Takahashi Standard Pressure to all match balls. Already known for his delectable silky skills and long range marvels, Ken's added a more direct approach to his play (known as  'going Ronaldo') and a solid attacking relationship with Alo, to amass for BEFC more goals in 8 games than the entire 2015/16 season!!

Runner up was aforementioned strike partner Alo Säkk with 10 goals, more of a attacking midfield dynamo who is always there to inititate and support the strikes forward. Moving into the center with BEFC current 4-1-4-1 formation has let allow influence play more directly through the middle where he prefers, and this has shown in his netting of 9 goals in 9 games.

Also hot on the pace was James Pounder, although largely owing to his goal record from January last year. Playing less games that Ken and Alo this season Pounder still has an impressive goal ratio of 2 goals in 3 appearances.

All in all goals have been scored by 14 different members of the BEFC squad in 2016, showing we can score from all over the pitch and not reliant on a special striker -- but when we do have a special striker..... they will score a lot of goals!!!
This is a huge improvement over last season where many wins were 1-0 affairs. This season 4-1 has been a favourite scoreline and BEFC have amassed 35 goals in 8 matches including the cup. Time last year we had 13!!!
