Adecco MOM BEFC vs Syu Syu Aoyama - Takahiro Yoshida

  • Adecco BEFC Man of the Match Award - Takahiro Yoshida

In a hot midday affair, maybe the glaring sun contributed to the hotheaded and unfortunate outcome of high pressing the division's best counter attack team. Certainly the well known Syu Syu 'offside' trap and arguable officiating assisted in turning up the heat in this fiery encounter. With the defence under threat from a group of strikers all vastly swifter and with acres of space to run into it was going to be fraught with danger --- And it was!! 
One man who knows this team very well, from countless encounters is veteran Takahiro Yoshida, and his influence in closing down their attack, as well as springing the BEFC's own attack was influential as they tried to form a comeback, and at the same time not concede more. Especially noted was a shutdown of two attackers by himself as the flanks were yet again overloaded by Syu Syu's lightning transition play. As the team struggled to prevent Syu Syu counters while chasing the game, Taka came in with a passion, putting out the fires in his own half and setting them off in the oppositions! This makes Takahiro Yoshida the Adecco BEFC Man of the Match.
