Iniesta, Torres make losing debuts in J-League
Print Edition
Andres Iniesta and Fernando Torres made their much-anticipated debuts in Japanese soccer yesterday, but both ended up on the losing side.
The Spanish pair recently joined J-League teams following illustrious careers in Europe. Iniesta鈥檚 signing for Vissel Kobe has been met with understandable excitement in Japan and the home crowd was given its first sight of the former Barcelona great when he came on as a second-half substitute against Shonan Bellmare. Iniesta, in his first appearance since Spain鈥檚 disappointing World Cup campaign, failed to make an impact, however, as Kobe lost 0-3. The defeat means Kobe is in sixth place in the table, just past the halfway point in the Japanese league season. Compatriot Torres, who left Atletico Madrid at the end of the Spanish season, also started on the bench for new club Sagan Tosu. The former Liverpool and Chelsea striker came on shortly after halftime but failed to get on the scoresheet as his new team lost 0-1 to Vegalta Sendai. Tosu is second from bottom in the 18-team table.
