Episode 451 - J1 Season Previews Part 3B - Nagoya & Hiroshima

As we edge closer to the start of the new J1 season, we wrap up our third week of previews by discussing Nagoya and Hiroshima.

Grampus are first cab off the rank in this episode: After an underwhelming first season in charge for Kenta Hasegawa, a lot hinges on loanee Kasper Junker's performance, fitness and attitude - could his goals spur Nagoya up the table, or will he clash with Hasegawa as he did with his former boss at Urawa (to 34:00)?

Then Sanfrecce look to kick on after a stirring rise up the table under Michael Skibbe. With a seemingly settled, deep and versatile squad, can Hiroshima swat aside talk of regression and be genuine title contenders this season?
