Impressive Week in Europe


The Blue Samurai have represented well in Europe this week. 5 days ago, Keisuke Honda got a brace for club side VVV-Venlo in a 3-0 win over ADO in a KNVB Cup match. Honda found the bottom right corner of ADO's goal twice; the first, coming from short distance where he was found unmarked directly in front of goal. The second goal began with a solo run from mid-field after easily stealing the ball from a slipping ADO player. Honda delivered the shot from the edge of the box and found paydirt. Premier League club Everton has just joined the list of clubs scouting Honda for a move in the January transfer window.

Catania drew with Roma this weekend and Takayuki Morimoto continued his impressive start to the 09/10 season by netting the lone goal for Catania in an easy "put away shot" off of a deflection from the left post.

Makoto Hasebe (above) played well for Vfl Wolfsburg in today's Champions League clash with Manchester United. Wolfsburg lost the match 2-1, but remain in good position to qualify to the next round.
