GLORIOUS JAPAN SOCCER, FROM TROUSSIER TO OKADA

2008.06.11

Late Sunday evening, game of Japan-Oman in Oman Stadium, begun as Away manner. It was really amazing to know what's a big difference between Japan and Oman, from Heaven to Hell. Japanese reporter are always shouting  how surrounding temperature & timidity is high! Plus, how Referees are royal to Oman, Malaysian or Chinese! 　Coach Okada never smiles as Japanese custom, however we decided to push him as the most possible soccer coach for 2010 World Cup. Because in the current games he has showed his Samurai Spirit in anyway. Then his Spirit may be the core of Japanese 11 for fighting. Since Troussier Age, we have learned a lot of things, unfairness, simulations, hidden kicking, and compromizing referees, very fortunately then, we have had technological growth and enough toughness.
　For exemple, Red-Card Ohkubo, FW, who has been hit on a "fatal spot" in hiding by Oman's GK. Is it very natural to make Counter-Attack against so-called dirty GK? International Matsui has also well protested against Oman's 11. Finally Coach Okada has got an Oman's red-card judgement. as a fare conclusion. 　JAPAN-OMAN　(１－１)

Daisuke Matsui is unique and exciting player, as for Japanese, sometimes cool and sometimes bold to do. He was invited to Team Le Mans, and now transferring to Team Saint Etienne, France, since this May for 3 years.　D. Matsui seems a kind of Artisan type, perhaps like as Shunsuke Nakamura, who has to pay more attention to communicate, in Japan especially.
