The Japanese star had a quiet April and Victory fans will be hoping he reawakens in the finals
After another long A-League season where the top six was decided months ago, the finals are finally here and we've got two cracking games to look forward to.
Kicking things off on Friday night will be Melbourne Victory and Wellington Phoenix - two teams that have clashed three times this season and couldn't be split on either occasion.
Two days later Adelaide United will host Melbourne City with both sides scoring ten goals between them to end their regular seasons on a high last week.
