Commitment of the man who played with Maradona
Ms. Takashi Watanabe has experience playing with Boca Juniors, a prestigious club in Argentina, and also playing with Maradona. Currently, he is the GM and director of Okayama Yugo Belle, which belongs to the Japan Women's Soccer League. He told me interesting stories such as "What kind of spikes did you wear in Argentina?"

--First of all, please tell us how you came to Argentina.
through: I was born in Okayama prefecture, but I didn't have a professional league at that time, so when I was 15 years old, I wanted to go to Brazil. I told my parents.
I was strongly opposed to it because it was dangerous, but I managed to go to Argentina with the assistance of a neighbor who told my parents that "Argentina is called Paris in South America and it is not dangerous."
I originally liked Maradona and thought I could go to Brazil one day, so when I was 17, I went to Argentina on my first overseas trip.
-In Argentine, did you join the Boca Juniors (hereafter referred to as Boca) from the beginning?
through: No, I went to various teams for tests and joined the Boka youth team. Since Boka is a popular team, I wasn't very well trained, so I had a chance to join.
Training is great right now, but at that time the main thing was to get players from other teams. It was Boka who rented to the local league and gave results and gave me a chance.
-It's amazing that I put it in Boca!
through: Nowadays it has become a popular club all over the world, but at that time no one knew even if the parents in Okayama Prefecture said that their son was in a team called Boca in Argentina. was.
Many Japanese players are now active overseas, but they will become professionals! Rather, I wanted to experience soccer in South America, a great soccer powerhouse.
--What kind of spikes did you wear at that time?
through: I've been Puma since I was in junior high school. I didn't have that much money, so I wore Puma's Renato and Borussia spikes.
It was similar to that worn by the Japanese national team players and Maradona at that time, and I wore the cheapest ones.
After that, I admired Captain Tsubasa and wore the Adidas Bundesliga series.
In our time, every maker had an unusually long tongue, and we used spikes to break the tongue.
When Mr. Maradona came to practice at a club I went to in Argentina, I was wondering what kind of spikes I was wearing.
-It's amazing to have played with Maradona.
through：Maradona wore Mizuno's morelia in her later years. To Kalecca played together in NaplesIt must have been affected. Also, in Japan, it was said that he was wearing 26.5 cm, but he was wearing 25.5 cm Mizuno!
-It's interesting because it's a story that only Watanabe knows, including the size of Maradona's feet. Are there any other amazing spikes you remember?
through: If there is a Belt Meister that was around 30 years ago, I think everyone will wear it. That's about the finished product. Kopamundial too.
I think that the Germans who made them are amazing because they can be worn over time.
-It's the best spike that is loved at any time.
through: In South America when we were playing, it was cool that the spikes of any manufacturer had a long tongue. There were many South American players who took off from the spikes when they pulled hard to try to make even short spikes look long (laughs).
At the time of Boka's youth, Boca's supplier was Adidas, so he loaned me the Adidas spikes, whose skin was hard and worn out. When I became a satellite, he gave me a spike called Etrusco.
When I went up to the top team, I got a drop from the player wearing Topper and Vero was wearing big shoes.
I saw Maradona several times, but there was also a manufacturer called Mizuno Adidas Nike Maradona10, but no matter what I wear, the image of tying the Maradona and pulling the tongue does not change. Among them, Topper was the strongest.
---Are there any interesting stories about gear other than spikes?
through: The more successful you are, the smaller your back will be.
--What do you mean?
through: It's a drum back for youth. Put on a towel, change clothes, uniform, spikes, etc. and go to practice.
When you go up to the satellite, the equipment clerk will store your luggage. He also puts spikes in the clubhouse and polishes them. He also gives you a towel so you can practice with a small bag.
After that, it becomes a pouch when it becomes about a shoe back and goes up to a professional (top). Real and Balsa players often have branded pouches.
Not a rucksack, Messi, Vidal and Cabani are amenity pouches!
That is the status of a soccer player. Just put perfume, smartphone and hairdresser in the pouch. The equipment clerk will even prepare pants for you.
-By looking at the size of the back, you can tell which level the player is.
through: I was happy that the drum back was getting smaller and smaller.
The story changes, what happened after you retired from being a soccer player? Did you think about your second career while you were still active?
through: Not thinking at all. I'm frightened when I think about it now, but I didn't really know what to do when I came back to Japan.
In the meantime, the first thing I did was help a soccer school for one day. We helped the maker and celebrity in the soccer classroom. At that time, I managed to live by showing lifting and various people helped me.
I played in two teams in JFL and got a coach license for C and B classes. I play soccer and I am still involved in soccer because I got a qualification from introducing my work.
--- You were returned to the players (in the two JFL teams)!
through: I wondered if my life was dangerous. I even thought it would have been better if I had been working for a company in Okayama where I first got a job (before going to Argentina).
When I thought about it, I was qualified for that one year. It took me one year to work with the oxygen deficient work chief, the organic solvent work chief, and the specific chemical substance work chief.
I also knew that I had an Otsukuri and could be the chief, and I thought that this was the worst, I was able to take on a lot of challenges.
I played the job of telling South American football while playing until I was 37 years old, and I decided to move from a school coach in Tokyo Verdy to a full-scale leadership.
I would like to tell the players that those who have qualifications can actively challenge the way they want to go.

I am.
