The midfielder had been sidelined since June last year after suffering ACL and meniscus tears in his right knee, an injury that required extensive rehabilitation and kept him from competitive action for the remainder of the season.\n\nIshikawa's comeback was not just a personal milestone; it proved pivotal for Omiya's recent fortunes. The win marked the team's first back-to-back league success in two months, reigniting momentum after a period of inconsistent form. Coach Miyazawa Yuki praised Ishikawa's resilience, stating that the staff had no doubts about starting him despite the long layoff, calling him \"a truly splendid player\" needed by the current squad. Miyazawa added: \"I believed he would express that against Iwaki, a team we hadn't beaten, and I used him without hesitation.\"\n\nThe match itself was a tense affair at NACK5 Stadium. Omiya fell behind early but responded with three goals, including a strike from forward Izumi Tooya, who later credited Ishikawa for his constant communication and leadership on the pitch. \"Toshi-kun's presence was huge,\" Izumi said. \"He was always shouting, so I always knew where he was. He kept motivating the team.\"\n\nIshikawa, for his part, expressed a single-minded focus: \"I only wanted the team to win. That was everything.\" He acknowledged that the team had lost confidence during the winless run, with players hesitating in their first steps. \"We have our framework, but opponents adapt. When we couldn't win, we lost calmness,\" Ishikawa reflected. His last start had been in June 2025 against Sagan Tosu, making his return all the more significant.\n\nAgainst Iwaki's man-marking approach, Omiya outworked the visitors in attack and defense. Ishikawa highlighted the team's willingness to commit to second balls and transitions, even if risks remained. \"We were brave today, and it paid off. We need to keep raising that level and demanding more from each other,\" he said. The team's one-touch passing and quick counters—hallmarks of their style—were on full display, producing goals and control.\n\nOmiya had started the season with four straight wins, but thereafter failed to string consecutive victories until now. Coach Miyazawa noted the team had lost their football identity for a period, and emphasized the need to remember their principles. \"There were times we lost our football, so I told the players to remember it again. They expressed what we wanted to reclaim on the pitch today,\" he said.\n\nIshikawa's reintegration into the midfield provides a familiar reference point for teammates. His work rate and vocal leadership had been missed during the winless stretches, and his ability to read the game adds a tactical edge. The midfielder himself acknowledged that the team had been struggling with decision-making in tight situations, but the win against Iwaki showed a return to courage and cohesion.\n\nWith this performance, Ishikawa has not only proven his fitness but also his ability to influence games at a crucial stage. Omiya's ability to maintain this run will depend on sustaining the intensity they showed against Iwaki. For Ishikawa, the journey back to full match fitness is just beginning, but his impact already suggests he will be a key figure in Omiya's push for consistency and a possible promotion challenge.\n\nThe victory lifts Omiya in the league standings and provides a psychological boost ahead of a busy schedule. Ishikawa's return adds depth to a squad that has often relied on individual brilliance; now, with his experience and drive, the team has a leader who can orchestrate from midfield. As the season progresses, his availability could be the difference between a mid-table finish and a genuine push for the top spots.\n\nBased on reporting from サッカーキング.","news","After 11 months out
