[First Match]
Tenri University’s formation is centered on the back line
Chuo University – Tenri University
(First) Tatsuki Aoi – Yuji Kanda
(Next) Mukai Kyuma – Suzuki Kazuha
(V) Hoben Taiga – Ishida Yukinobu
(Center) Yudai Iwasaki – Tomoya Nitta
(3) Kuramochi Mitsuhiro-Hiramitori
(Deputy) Ichikawa Kosei – Honda Shoman
(Large) Takamichi Nakai – Taiyo Suzuki
Tenri University has placed their double aces, Hirami Riku as the third captain and Suzuki Taiyo as the captain, in the back line. Just before these two, Nitta Tomoya, who participated in the All Japan Championships, and Honda Shoma, who scored the opening goal in the previous match, are placed, giving them a back-heavy formation. And judging from the formation, this probably fits perfectly. Nitta is matched up against Iwasaki Yudai, Chuo University’s main scorer, and is likely to be neutralized. And it will be tough for Chuo University to have the destructive power to forcefully break down Tenri University’s forwards, who are conscious of their “back-heavy” formation. Tenri University has the advantage in both strength and formation. There is a high possibility that their strategy of playing it safe in front and taking the lead from the back will work.
