The upturn in Sagan's fortunes and performance levels looks over, they were pretty awful in Hiroshima at the weekend and back to early season standard, they had just one attempt ITB on Saturday and looked worn out. Since September 19th , that's 18 days they will have played Marinos, Kobe, FC Tokyo, Marinos (again), Sanfrecce and now Gamba, all are amongst the top 8 clubs in the country and playing catch up fixture wise has caught up with and found out Tosu.
