JEF United Chiba announced on their website that they had terminated the 55-year-old Croatian's contract on Wednesday without providing further details. It is not immediately known who will replace Kuze. JEF are winless in 11 matches and are in last place with two points from two draws.

League champions Kashima Antlers. The Ibaraki giants were run off their feet in the final fifteen minutes of their clash with Omiya Ardija on April 27, as the Saitama outfit came roaring back to record an impressive 1-1 draw. Young striker Shinzo Koroki had handed Kashima an early lead at a packed Omiya Park, however the hosts hit back with a header from captain Yoshiyuki Kobayashi with fifteen minutes remaining.

Prisjećamo se samo jednog igrača prije Marca Borriella koji je toliko lutao prije no što je uistinu uspio. On je Luca Toni. Desetak je godina tražio sebe po klubovima od treće do prve lige, dok nije pogodio zlatnu žicu u Palermu. Kasnije je postao svjetski prvak, a danas je na pragu osvajanja Bundeslige s Bayernom. Što je za Tonija bio Palermo, za Borriella bi mogla biti Genoa.

League standings by three points ahead of the traditional Golden Week rush. The Toyota-backed outfit are playing fast-paced, attacking football under new coach Dragan Stojkovic, however Nagoya fans are quick to point out that they were also leading the league at the same stage last season, only to limp home to an eventual eleventh placed finish.

In the case of South Korean striker Lee Dong-guk, that line was about as wide as a goalpost. The Lion King moved to Middlesbrough in January 2007. His debut came a month later against Reading. Lee was introduced as a substitute with around eight minutes remaining.
