After Home Loss to Hiroshima, Shonan Manager Engages in Heated Argument with Fans; Team President Forced to Make an Inspirational Statement

In the 33rd round of the J.League matches on the 6th of this month, Shonan Bellmare lost 1-2 at home to league leaders Sanfrecce Hiroshima. With six rounds remaining, they now find themselves six points away from escaping the relegation zone, making their situation for avoiding relegation this season increasingly dire. After the loss to Hiroshima, Shonan manager Akira Yokomizo had a heated argument with fans in the stands, and players were also forced to appear and apologize.

Regarding the chaotic scene after the match against Hiroshima, Shonan Bellmare president Kōkatsu Hamaura made a statement on social media: “In the remaining matches, we cannot afford to lose any victories. I believe that under the leadership of manager Akira Yokomizo, with the pride of the club in our hearts, we will unite and fight until the last second. We will certainly secure our place in the top league. It is the support of the fans that gives the players strength to face the current situation and find courage even in difficult times. Please stand with us and give strength to the players.”

While Hamaura’s words are quite inspiring, Yahoo Sports in Japan commented: “Such scenes often occur in struggling teams. Can Shonan still make their disappointed supporters believe they are in the relegation battle?”

In the upcoming league matches, Shonan Bellmare will face Cerezo Osaka, Vissel Kobe, Gamba Osaka, and FC Tokyo respectively, and every game before December will be a tough challenge for the team.
