Yokohama F. Marinos, which has been on the decline, is facing an ongoing crisis.
The Japanese Football Zone said on Monday, "The Yokohama team announced the injury of striker Ryo Miyichi and defender Kosei Swama. The two players got injured during a J-League match and were examined at a hospital. Miyichi was diagnosed with a ruptured right hamstring muscle and Swama had ligament damage in his right ankle. According to the team, it will take six to eight weeks for both players to recover."토토사이트
The media explained, "Miyaichi and Swama have been the main players of the team this season, so their departure is a big blow to the team. Miyaichi played in 12 J1 League games this season, while Swama played in nine games. Yokohama has been sluggish even after the managerial change, and remains at the bottom after losing seven consecutive games, the most by a J-League club."
Yokohama is one of the most prestigious teams in Japan. It is a prestigious club that has won the first division championship five times and the Japan FA Cup seven times. It is a reputation of tradition that has not been demoted even once since the establishment of the J-League. To Korean fans, it is also well-known as the club where Yoo Sang-cheol, Ahn Jung-hwan, Yoon Il-rok, and Nam Tae-hee played.
Yokohama is in an unprecedented crisis this season. There have been no wins in the last 12 games, including the 1-2 defeat against Vissel Kobe on the 21st. It has fallen to the bottom of the league with eight consecutive losses, including the Cup. Yokohama is only eight points, while it is on its way to the half of the season soon. It is the worst start ever since the club was founded. To escape the relegation, we have to rise to 17th place, but the gap to 17th place has widened to 11 points.
Yokohama's sudden fall is all the more surprising because the team was strong up until the last season. Although it was in the middle of the league, Yokohama showed overwhelming performance in the AFC Champions League (ACLE) League phase. It had six wins and one loss in seven league games, ranking No. 1 overall.
Gwangju FC, led by head coach Lee Jung-hyo, was the team that humiliated Yokohama. At that time, Gwangju smashed Yokohama 7-3 at home, traumatizing the Asian soccer community. Yokohama ended the 2024 season without making good results in ACLE.
Ahead of the 2025 season, Yokohama received even more anticipation when it appointed Steve Holland, who served as the head coach for the England national team. Holland seemed to be strong when his leadership combined with that of Yokohama, an Asian powerhouse, but Holland was dismissed one month after his debut with the worst performance.
Holland is out, but Yokohama is stuck in the path of collapse that Holland has created and cannot get out of. Yokohama is really on the verge of relegation, as even its core forces, Miyachi and Swama, have been banned for about two months. Although it is still in the middle of the season, the gap has widened with other teams near the relegation zone. If it fails to rebound quickly, it will be the first time in the team's history that Yokohama will suffer a demotion.
