Postecoglou: Target for Yokohama F Marinos is to win them all

Kuala Lumpur: Yokohama F Marinos coach Ange Postecoglou is itching to return to competitive action as the countdown to the J.League’s resumption from its enforced coronavirus break ticks ever closer.

The J.League will make its long-awaited return on July 4 having shut down due to the pandemic in late February, meaning Marinos had only played one game in defence of the title they won so impressively last year under the Australian coach.

Marinos lost their J.League opener to Gamba Osaka having also tasted defeat against Vissel Kobe in a penalty shootout in the Super Cup in the season’s curtain raiser, but the 54-year-old is delighted to be making a return to competitive action having seen leagues resume elsewhere.
