The market value of the English Premier League, which started at the same time as the J-League in 1993, was 1: 1. However, there is a considerable difference now. For the "How J-League if it? The treatment of people involved in? The soccer swollen enough to catch up to the Premier League is better" such issues, it has moved MotoSakae Taichiro of the original athlete Sokka part. A new project that listens to soccer players and puts it into practice. The first is an interview with President Kazuhiro Ageo of Yokohama FC who belongs to the J2 league.

--- This isn't something we say in the outfield, but I think it won't change unless someone in the J-League speaks out. Well, the people inside may be waiting for the outfield to get excited.  

Yuan Rong: Former chairman Saburo Kawabuchi, who can be said to be the founder of the J League, is cherishing this place, isn't he?

-I cherish it, but that Kawabuchi-san is not reluctant to change. At that time, I couldn't stand up to the overwhelming popularity of professional baseball unless I followed that fundamentalism.

I think there was a case where we couldn't win without justice without a claim, but it's a slightly different era from now on, and Kawabuchi probably said, "There is China, there are other countries, and Japan must change." I think that is the most said.

Yuan Rong: I feel that "the company name can be added to the team name, and the regulation of foreign capital is relaxed." This alone may cause a big bang. Anyway, if you create an environment where money can easily come in.

--- I think I'm allergic to it, so I think I should do something like a free agent for the last 10 years.I think.

Yuan Rong: In the process of realizing the ideal realistically, it may be a high hurdle to suddenly change suddenly, and the team may take capital for only one year and withdraw immediately. It may be a nuisance to all the supporters who love the game, so if you are a company involved in the J League, you can do that if you have been a sponsor for 10 years and have been in club management for a long time.

--- I think LEOC is the one who has the most chance. The basics of breast sponsors will change. Even supporters sometimes don't remember much, "What kind of breast sponsor was it how many years ago?"

Regarding Yokohama FC, LEOC hasn't been working for about 10 years, so if LEOC does something like "I want to spend more money to defeat Marinos", fans will say LEOC Yokohama. I feel like drinking. 

Ageo: LEOC has been a breast sponsor since 2009, so it was just 10 years in the 2018 season. From 2019, it has changed to ONODERA GROUP, a holding company of LEOC, so the timing is (laughs)

However, as you said, I think it's easy to establish the cause of defeating Marinos from the past history.There was a Yokohama Derby in the third round of the Emperor's Cup last year, but even though it was held on weekdays, the number of spectators exceeded 10,000., The match was entangled until the extension, and I lost in a close match, but it was quite exciting.

There is a unique story between the two teams, so I think it's fun as entertainment.

--- When the city came out of the London-Manchester scheme, the premiere was even more ignited.

VISSEL KOBE has come out, but I want you to say that there is a fierce heat in Yokohama as well. To do that, we have to go into the problem of the stadium.
  

As long as I play at the Yokohama International Stadium, where there are track and field tracks, I don't think Yokohama's soccer fever will rise forever. Mitsuzawa doesn't have a truck, but it's too small.  

Yuan Rong: I used to go to Mitsuzawa to see the Flugels game, and it was very close to the ground, but it was really small.

――Hiroshima Carp, who was a stranger, won the championship three times in a row with the construction of that new stadium.

I made it at a very low cost of 9 billion, but the people of the city hall and the prefectural office went to see it on their own, thought carefully, and made it with the essence of the United States now Zumsta (MAZDA Zoom-Zoom Stadium) Hiroshima) That's right.

As a result, the number of visitors has increased dramatically.
Carp really proved the power of the stadium, and there are no good soccer-specific stadiums in the metropolitan area, so I think it should be created.

Ageo: The momentum for the construction of soccer-specific stadiums is increasing all over the country, including Panasonic Stadium Suita and Mikuni World Kitakyushu Stadium.

As with soccer only, if you want to welcome a large amount of capital (sponsor), it is also an issue to improve the VIP room around the stadium.

There are still many Japanese stadiums
There are many stadiums with track and field tracks, so you need a soccer-specific stadium where customers can comfortably watch the game and have a solid sponsorship privilege.
  

--In Japan, there are almost no places where you can go to a soccer field and enjoy the feeling of a celebrity.  

Yuan Rong: It's a gradual situation, but it's still a situation where you have to make a sports league where money flows in.

--- Mr. Vissel forcibly created the flow, so it's like what to do without riding this.

Yuan Rong: Isn't it unusual for a company that Mikitani-san is motivated to do? Therefore, I think that more companies will enter if the hurdles are lowered a little more by the system. There are 55 teams.

--- The reason why the team called Matsumoto Yamaga made a big break was that they defeated the Reds in the regional league (Hokushinetsu League). That's why it's a dedicated stadium, and there is a background that the momentum to aim for J1 has increased.

Matsumoto Yamaga and Vissel Kobe played a match on April 6, and Matsumoto won. The newspaper in Nagano the next day was a festival, but now I can ignite various places like this. I want to get more money into this opportunity.

I don't think it's embarrassing to put out that game anywhere in the world, and if you have a good set, you can call tourists. A soccer field can be an inbound place, isn't it?

Yuan Rong: Does the team labor cost include the executive compensation of the staff and the labor cost of the staff?

Ageo: Not included here.

Yuan Rong: I think this is also lonely, but there are times when the people who support the club are exhausted and somehow support the philosophy with a low monthly salary, so let's stop J management that collapses the philosophy. I think.

The team will not be strong unless the staff are excellent and they cannot live a good life. It's difficult to raise your salary if it's a profit that blows away, isn't it?

Ageo: You're right. There are many people who apply for the soccer industry with passion and dreams, but I think that many people actually choose a different path when they start to have a family.

I don't know about other teams, but I had an old experience at Yokohama FC.
The number of staff who have such things is gradually decreasing, and the current situation is that new children will quit again in a few years, and I recognize that this is a major management issue.
  

Yuan Rong: I think that all clubs are basic.

--- That's right for all clubs. European clubs take pictures of posters every year before the season. Some people say, "I've been here for 30 years, this old man," but I really need that kind of person. 

Yuan Rong: Another thing I was interested in was that I sometimes attend graduation ceremonies or graduation ceremonies locally. There, children say their dreams for the future. Not long ago, there were more children who wanted to be J-Leaguers than children who wanted to be professional baseball players, but recently some players have been active in major leagues. I feel that soccer is declining in its position as a major sport in Japan.

Even though the denominator is decreasing due to the declining birthrate, I feel a sense of crisis that the number of people who will become soccer players tomorrow is decreasing.

--- I have a son and I like soccer and want to play it. But I'm telling you to stop (laughs) I also work in soccer, but it's too black. 

Yuan Rong: Is it black ... By the way, are there any Japanese players in Japan who are getting an annual salary of 100 million yen?

--There were a lot of them at the beginning of the J-League. At that time, I got more Gamba players than Hanshin players. It's the scale of Hanshin Electric Railway and Matsushita Electric Railway. The current situation is very disappointing because there was such an era.
