HFC Corax made a promising start to season that may prove to be the most difficult one in the club's short history. The White Crows took an early lead when young Takatoshi Yamashita(370666041) broke through on the right to secure his first league goal of this season.
HFC kept pressing the home team and eventually confirmed their dominance by adding two more goals in 36th (Larsson) and 81st (Spijker) minute.

"This was a good game." - said manager Dazzir during the post game conference - "We had a plan for this match and everything went according to it. Our players carried out the tactical instructions of coach Wilnis perfectly which ended up in our undeniable victory. I'm really glad that we had an opportunity to see our young players in action. They all have to understand: THIS is their season. We want them to train hard, we want them to get better and we want them to shine on the field."

最初の試合の前に Himeji Ninja Goatsの監督 elfalot はチームを紹介したかったです。

”Himeji Ninja Goatsはホームで育ったチームです”と言いました。
”私たちは新しいストラテジーを見せたいですが、まだ詳しくいえません。
皆さんに新しいシーズンの幸運を祈るよ”

Finally, you might have noticed that we are in a series consisting of teams quite significantly inferior to ours. Again, this is a choice. Indeed, we believe this will enable us to focus on the strengthening of the core of our team without having to worry about the opposition, and hopefully we will be able to enjoy the tremendous challenge of division IV as soon as next season.

Now we are all very much focused on our game against (939223), which all the bookmakers indicate us to be favorite in by quite a significant margin, but we are cautious not to make any silly mistakes early on in the season and so we will see what the game brings.

It is all for now, thank you for assisting to this Skype conference straight from England!"

"Thank you for making it to this press conference today. Many of you have noticed and already sold a few extra copies of your magazines and newspapers by noticing that everyone has been really quiet here at the Kodokan.

This is not haphazard, me, the staff and the players have all been very busy getting ready for this great adventure. I will cut to the chase, yes what you have heard is true and the rumors are, for once, founded: as long as I manage this club, we will not buy, or sell, a single player.

This might seem drastic to you, but I believe it will be a great adventure and allow us to step away from the shallowness creeping in today's football where it becomes more a game of accountants than a game of tactics. I firmly believe, and I have the full support of both the staff and the players on this, that we will be able to stick to this ideal without compromising our success.

We have started the first week of 40th season and we have started it with enormous changes. First, the HFC's strategic sponsor Hithlonne Arts presented new, slightly tweaked home kit and soon after, the manager of the White Crows announced that starting with Monday, long time team captain Roelf Wilnis will take over as the new head coach of the senior team.

"Mr. Morfeta did pretty good job last season but unfortunately we haven't achieved our goals. Team failed to secure the podium spot and our top scorers were far behind the league's best attackers. We asked Roelf to change our style and therefore take our team to the higher level. We hope that his leadership skills and his experience as a forward will help him in getting us there." - said Dazzir at the press conference.

Mr.Dazzir also announced that the first coach of the White Crows - Makoto Shin (353256664) was admitted to HFC's Hall of Fame.
