A fiesty Zion falls short to Hibs

Announcements - February 5th 2024

 

Typically Japanese teams in this league don't have the "fight" in them compared to a lot of the foreigners. And sometimes this does make or break the results of the game. Zion have traditionally been a Japanese side but have recently become more fiesty, mostly because of their two foreign players, Jorge and Dino. Frequently, Jorge can be seen (or rather, heard) screaming at his team mates to fight for the 50/50 ball and to aggressively try to take a shot rather than trying to find a perfect pass. Dino has also joined them mid season as a strong target man up top and he embodies everything that makes foreigners hard to play against. His strong, using his physique to forcefully turn with the ball and beat his mark. His vocal, appealing for fouls and riling up his opponents. The two of them has helped spark the teams "desire to win" since they've joined.

But what Zion have with two players Hibs have with everyone. Deemed as perhaps the most competitive, Hibs were unphased with and fiestiness from Zion and put them down. They won 4-2 and will continue there track to fighting for the league title.
