February is the time for spring training, and this time we are going to introduce a traditional team in the Japanese J-League, first established in 1964, formerly known as the Omiya Squirrels of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Kanto Soccer Division, which, despite being a traditional team, has not had a good record in recent years. Although they are a traditional team, their record has not been good in recent years. They have had ups and downs in the first and second divisions over the years, and finally had a chance to be promoted in last year's season, but they lost in the first round of the post-season challenge match, which resulted in the team having to start the new season from the J2 level.
In fact, Omiya squirrels had stayed in the J1 league for a long time between 2005 and 2014, although the record was not good, but it was thrilling to stay every year, although it was unfortunate to drop to the J2 league in 2015, but immediately won the J2 league title that year, and returned to the J1 league the next year, but in 2017, it was again at the bottom of the 18-team field, and therefore had to return to the J2 league, and meanwhile, at the end of 2018 In the end of 2018, the team didn't manage to make it to the Postseason Challenge.

, and as a result will continue to play in the J2 League this year.
The team's performance has also affected the stability of the team. In recent years, the team's supervisors have been replaced and the coaching staff has been reorganized repeatedly, which may be the reason why the team's performance has not been able to improve. In 2017, two head coaches stepped down in one fell swoop, and finally in the latter part of the season, Masatada Ishii, the head coach of Kashima Antlers, a traditional J1 League powerhouse, took over in the hope that he could lead the team to a new era. Although Masatada Ishii stabilized his position after taking over, his record was so poor that he was relegated at the end of the season.
And in 2018, although the team to take the J2 superiority promotion as the goal, but the performance is fluctuating, although the last to grab the J1 promotion qualification, but unfortunately can not pass the official, so Ishii Masatada once again sadly stepped down, by the Nagasaki Success Maru's supervisor Takumi Takuya take over the soldier, the next to see this past is also a generation of famous coach, can lead the Omiya squirrels, once again in the new season impact! J1 League.
The Omiya Squirrels' spring training was held at the Miyazaki Sports Park's rugby and soccer fields, and perhaps because they are currently a J2 team, there weren't many fans. On the day of the training, the team was playing a friendly match against J1 team Kashima Antlers, and after the match was over, there were only a few fans waiting for the players to leave the field, which seemed to be a bit dismal compared to the situation of Kashima Antlers, which had nearly 100 fans.
The Omiya Squirrels, who have always fallen short of being a real professional team in the past, will be looking to the new season to see if they can perform well again after active training and a reorganization of the coaching staff.
