Crusaders - Roosters 15.07.2021

Helsinki Roostersin ensivierailu Lohjalla päättyi murskaavaan 6-57 voittoon. Kotijoukkue Crusadersin parhaat hetket ajoittuivat pelin ensimmäiseen hyökkäysvuoroon, jolla lohjalaiset onnistuivat kuljettamaan pallon ainoan kerran vastustajan maalialueelle.

Kauden ennakkosuosikiksi nimetty Helsinki Roosters palasi tasolleen Lohjalla edellisen kierroksen vaikeuksista toipuneena. Joukkueen rosteri oli saatu parsittua parempaan kuosiin ja erityisesti hyökkäyksen onnistumiset siivittivät kukonpojat kauden suurinumeroisimpaan voittoon helteisellä kentällä. Crusaders oli ennen torstaita pelannut kaksi äärimmäisen tiukkaa peliä Butchersia ja Wolverinesia vastaan. Roosters osoitti lohjalaisille sarjassa menestymisen riman korkeuden huikealla esityksellään.

Roostersille 567 hyökkäysjaardia

Helsinkiläisten tasonnoston ruumiillistuma torstaina oli pelinrakentaja Miro Kadmiry. Pohjola Vakuutuksen ottelun vakuuttavimman pelaajan palkinnon pokannut Kadmiry heitti viisi touchdownia ja 315 jaardia komealla 78 % tarkkuudella (18/23). Seitsemästä kiinniottajasta erityisesti debyyttipelinsä pelannut Rashad Still osoitti olevansa kovatasoinen vahvistus Roostersin jo ennestään vahvaan laiturijoukkoon. Still keräsi pelissä 7 kiinniotolla 124 jaardia ja yhden touchdownin. Yhdysvaltalaisen lisäksi lohjalaisten maalialueella vierailivat heittopeleissä Micky Kyei (2 krt), Arttu Erkkilä ja Willem Kajander. Myös keskushyökkääjä Arttu Pajarisen esitys oli mallikas. 13 kertaa pallon kanssa edennyt Pajarinen keräsi tilastoihinsa 145 juoksujaardia ja kaksi touchdownia. Pajarinen oli pelin jälkeen tyytyväinen työnjakoonsa toisen keskushyökkääjän, Andrecus Lindleyn kesken.

Roosters-puolustuksessa Roni Salonen jatkoi huikeita otteitaan. Illan 5,5 taklausta ja 1,5 pelinrakentajan säkitystä nostavat miehen Vaahteraliigan säkkitilaston (5,5kpl) sekä ottelukohtaisten taklausten keskiarvon (8,5/peli) kärkipaikoille. Myös ikinuori Santtu Äyräväinen pääsi pelissä vauhtiin ahdistellen Crusaders-pelinrakentajaa aloituslinjan takana useampaan kertaan.

Roosters peluutti ottelun ratkettua pelinrakentajan paikalla nuorta Ambro Urjansonia, joka aloitti urakkansa mallikkasti, mutta joutui siirtymään takaisin sivurajalle kolhuja saaneena.

Crusaders sai tuntumaa sarjan kärkivauhtiin

Monen odotuksia paremman startin vaahteraliigataipaleelleen saaneelle UNC:lle torstai-ilta oli eräänlainen palautus maanpinnalle. Avauskierrosten kaksi peliä olisivat voineet kumpainenkin päättyä Crusadersin voittoon, mutta tällä kertaa vastustaja oli astetta järeämpi.

Päävalmentaja Tuomas Heikkisen teema peli kerrallaan täysillä toteutettiin erinomaisesti kamppailun ensimmäisellä hyökkäysvuorolla, jossa Robert Johnsonin johtama hyökkäys kuljetti palloa 7 yrityksellä 80 jaardin matkan aina Roosters-maaliin saakka. Touchdown syntyi Johnsonin komealla 24 jaardin heitolla suosikkilaiturilleen Finn Kearnsille.

Ilta ei kuitenkaan ollut paras kokeneelle Johnsonille. Tarkkana heittäjänä tunnetun Rojon 25 heitosta onnistui ainoastaan 11. Kertaalleen pallo päätyi vastustajan puolustajan haltuun. Lisäksi kertaalleen Johnson rähmäsi pallon vastustajalle juoksupelinsä päätteeksi. Myös ottelun lopussa palloa jaellut Jason Thomas heitti pallon Roosters-puolustajan hyppysiin. Crusaders-hyökkäyksen iltaa pimensi kanadalaislaituri Jonelle Tolbertin loukkaantuminen. Miehellä on ollut tärkeä rooli Johnsonin heittohyökkäyksessä.

Crusaders-puolustuksen tuloksekkaimmat taklaajat olivat yhdysvaltalaistukimies Michael Hall (8,5 kpl) sekä unkarilaistukimies Daniel Szatmari (8,0 kpl). Hyvin vaahteraliigavauhtiin päässyt takapuolustaja Aleksi Riiheläinen on torstaina lähellä syötönkatkoa, mutta oli pelin lopulla pettynyt suoritukseensa antaen kunnian vahvalle vastustajalle.

Vaahteraliigan viides peliviikko potkaistaan käyntiin Lohjalla. Niukkojen tappioiden erikoisjoukkue Crusaders saa vieraakseen Harjun kentälle suomalaisen jenkkifutiksen menestyneimmän joukkueen Roostersin.

Kotijoukkue United Newland Crusaders lähtee otteluun metsästämään ensimmäistä vaahteraliigavoittoaan. Roosters on voittanut tällä kaudella kaikki kolme peliään, ja jakaa sarjan kärkipaikan Kuopio Steelersin kanssa. Crusaders puolestaan on sarjataulukossa toiseksi viimeisenä, hävittyään molemmat aiemmat pelinsä.

Crusaders rakentaa omaa peliä eteenpäin

Lohjalaisten hyökkäyksen moottori, Robert Johnson osaa pommin varmasti liikuttaa ketjuja joukkuetta kuin joukkuetta vastaan. Nimekäs Roosters ei tule olemaan poikkeus tässä. Rojo on sarjan ottelukohtaisten heittojaarditilastojen kärkipaikalla ja lähtee haastamaan Roostersin kovaa takakenttää tosissaan. Kokeneen pelinrakentajan suosikkikohteeksi on kauden avauspeleissä asettunut irlantilainen Finn Kearns, joka on napannut kiinni kolmanneksen Johnsonin onnistuneista heitoista. Pisteiden teossa joukkueen ykköspaikalla on keskushyökkääjä Kameron Harris viidellä touchdownillaan.

Crusadersin otteluennakossa päävalmentaja Tuomas Heikkinen kommentoi tulevaa peliä näin:

-Vastassa vanha “oma jengi” vuosien takaa. Arvostan Roostersia kovasti, laadukasta futista vuodesta ja vuosikymmenestä toiseen. Hienoa saada yksi koko lajin eurooppalaisen historian kulmakiviä Harjulle. Tästä pääseekin mainitsemaan lajin historian kunnioittamisen, joka tulee näkymään ottelun alussa erityisellä tavalla. Itse ottelussa päästään pelaamaan yhtä minun mielestäni tämän vuoden “kolmesta kovasta” vastaan. Roosters pelaa 11 miehen systeemifutista hyvin valmennettuna ja toteutettuna. Hyökkäys iskee sinne mihin puolustuksen numerot tilaa tekevät, ja puolustus peittää kentän järjestelmällisesti. Puntteri ja potkaisija ovat hyviä. Varsinaisia heikkouksia on tasavahvasta ryhmästä vaikea löytää. Tässä onkin nyt tärkeintä lähteä viemään meidän omaa peliämme eteenpäin nimenomaan joukkue vastaan joukkuenäkökulmasta.

-Yksittäisiä elementtejä Roostersin hyökkäyksestä ei voi lähteä ylipuolustamaan, eikä ilmaisia lounaita ole heidän puolustukseltaan tarjolla. Jokaisen pelaajan on hoidettava oma hommansa niin hyvin kuin pystyy, ja tehtävä se koko ottelun läpi. Meillä on selkeä pelisuunnitelma, ajatukset siitä miten pystymme omia vahvuuksiamme hyödyntämään, tärkeintä on lähteä pelaamaan ennakkoluulottomasti ja hyvällä itseluottamuksella. Peli kerrallaan, täysillä.

Roosters vahvistunut peli peliltä

Helsinki Roosters on julkaissut tasaiseen tahtiin rosteriaan täydentävien uusien pelaajien nimiä. Uusimmat täydennykset ovat alkuviikosta julkaistut Viljo Lempinen (DB) ja yhdysvaltalainen Rashad Still (WR). Miehistöön on liittymässä myöhemmin myös ruotsalaistukimies Filip Jönsson, joka ei karenssista johtuen ole vielä mukana pelaavassa kokonpanossa.

Helsinkiläisten näkyvin pelaaja edellisessä ottelussa oli yhdysvaltalainen Lorenzo Melchiore, joka onnistui Butchersia vastaan kolmesti palauttamaan potkun maalialueelle saakka. Kukonpoikien hyökkäys ei Velodromilla löytänyt päävalmentaja Juha Hakalan toivomaa rytmiä ja viisi pallonmenetystä meinasivat käydä joukkueelle kohtalokkaaksi. Päävalmentaja kertoi ottelun jälkeen miehistönsä olleen huolimattomia kentällä ja myönsi, että viime torstain kaltaisella esityksellä joukkue ei olisi ansainnut voittoa ottelussa.

Roosters lähtee Lohjalle voittamaan ensisijaisesti itseään. Kauteen ennakkosuosikkina lähteneellä Roostersilla on sarjataulukossa puhdas tili ja Steelersin kanssa jaettu kärkipaikka kolmen voittoisan pelin jälkeen ja kuten päävalmentaja Hakala omassa pelin jälkeisessä haastattelussaan kertoi, kukaan ei muista kauden jälkeen millä W sinne tilastoihin saatiin kirjattua. Kahdesta alkukauden pelistä kolmesta pelatusta Roosters on kuitenkin onnistunut taikomaan viime hetkille asti jännittävän näytelmän, joka olisi saattanut vastustajan paremmalla onnella kääntyä toiseenkin suuntaan.

Vaahteraliigan 5. kierroksen ottelu Crusaders – Roosters potkaistaan käyntiin torstaina 15.7. klo 18.30 Lohjalla Harjun kentällä. Lippuja voi käydä ostamassa Lippu.fi.
