The match between the Japanese national team and the Mongolian national team is currently taking place. Many of you may have looked at the feet of the Mongolian national team players and wondered what kind of spikes they were wearing.
These are ASICS' ``DS LIGHT X-FLY4'' spikes. After arriving in Japan, the Mongolian national team players tried on the shoes and even wore them during practice.
Since there was only a short amount of time to physically try them on, it seems that it was up to the players to decide whether or not to wear them in today's game.
The main topic is ``Why are Mongolian national team players wearing ASICS spikes?'' Let's find out the reason.
This article posted yesterday (http://king-gear.com/articles/1138), the Mongolian men's national team players also had trouble with spikes. So Takuya Watanabe made another move, and Moriyama Sports decided to cooperate.
Moriyama Sports will provide support by providing ASICS spikes to be worn in today's match against the Japanese national team. We asked Watanabe for more details.
--Why did you decide to offer ASICS spikes when there are spikes from various manufacturers?
Watanabe: When I went to give the Mongolian Under-16 female athletes the spikes from various manufacturers that Moriyama Sports had given them, they were fighting over Asics spikes. It was very popular.
In that case, I thought that if I offered them ASICS spikes, which are not available in Mongolia, they would be happy. Moriyama Sports asked ASICS for cooperation, and this project was made possible.
--That's a wonderful initiative. What made you decide to take on this initiative?
Watanabe: I thought about the current situation in Mongolia, a country that still has poor logistics.
The match between the Mongolian national team and the Japanese national team was decided on the day I arrived in Mongolia.
A raffle was held on that day. When I got off the plane, I was surprised. That's when I thought of this. I have no choice but to take advantage of this opportunity. I thought this is what I should do.
Asashoryu is also present at this venue today. I would be happy if I could burn it into his eyes as well.
Even this is beyond the limits of my ability. At Saitama Stadium, the best pitch, I wanted to express my gratitude to Mongolia for the past three years.
ーーThank you for letting me know your passionate thoughts. Enjoy the second 45 minutes!
Additionally, the Mongolian national team players are said to be wearing socks called GIOCA GRIPS, which are said to be non-slip socks, in today's match.
In the second half, please pay attention to the feet of the Mongolian national team players.
