――Uruguay is a poor country compared to Japan.
Matsubarayes. However, although it is a poor country, it is a country where everyone is bright, energetic, happy, and has many smiles. Also, the level of education is different compared to Japan. Of course, the system is different, but the level of the school teachers is also different.
Uruguay basically has Europeans, so there are various schools such as Italian schools, German schools, and British schools.
People with money, such as soccer players, can go to such international schools.
Others go to public. Compared to international schools, the quality of teachers in public schools is lower than in international schools, and many children who are poor do not go to school to help their families.
I don't have much education, so I say words that I shouldn't say without hesitation. Words that I hate. I have been told many times.
They throw things they are eating, such as orange peels and seeds, or playfully hit people. The area where I lived was particularly like that, so there were people on a daily basis drinking whiskey and getting drunk in the morning.
There were many sights and things I couldn't say that I don't often see in Japan.
――After playing in Uruguay for a year, you entered Jubilo, right? How was the feeling of training compared to Uruguay?
MatsubaraAt that time, I was confident that I had spent a year in Uruguay. But there may also have been overconfidence. I'm better than you.
I thought, "I've only been in Uruguay for about a year, but I've come here, so check it out."
But in a way, I think it's also important, but I regret that I didn't act or say and act after looking at myself objectively, such as my situation and my level. .
――What did you feel after coming back to Japan after a year and playing in the J League?
MatsubaraIt was on TV from time to time, so there was information about Japan in Uruguay as well.
It was around that time that the team was set up for the Atlanta Olympics, and I saw on TV that players who were active in the J. I was.
When everyone wins a J-League match, they get a winning salary, they drive luxury cars, they start wearing brand-name clothes, and I think, ``Wow, everyone has changed. I remember The way I was seen and treated by those around me was completely different.
When I returned to Japan and started playing in Japan, the J. Especially when I scored a goal and my team won.
――At that time, the J-leaguers and members of the Atlanta Olympics were very popular all over Japan.
MatsubaraThat's right. Everywhere I went, there were a lot of fans.
――At that time, every match was so full that you couldn’t even buy a ticket.。
MatsubaraI had a lot of waiting time, and I was often approached on the street, so I felt like I suddenly became a professional star player. Among the members of the national team who were looking forward to the Olympics, I was the only player who was selected even though I hadn't played in the J.League for a year.
I'm sure everyone knows who I am, but I was a little concerned that people might think, ``Did this guy get called up after not playing in the J.League for a year?''
But I had a lot of confidence, so I wanted to fight as soon as possible, and I really wanted to show off.
I scored a goal in the first friendly match in Malaysia since I established the Olympic team. I think the opponent was the Danish national team.
I don't remember where else, but I remember getting about 2 points. I scored the most points, so I think my first grip was good. "Yoshika, don't score points, don't produce results." After all, the beginning is the key.
――If the first impression is good, even if the second one is a little worse, people will think, “Maybe I’m just in a bad mood.”
MatsubaraI agree. It was the same when I played for Jubilo, but it is important whether we win the first game after the coach change.
This is the same for players and managers who have transferred. Later, when I was coaching at SC Sagamihara, I won on the first try, so I was able to ride the wave. Delivering results and being trusted by others is the most important thing.
--That's right. On the contrary, if the first impression is bad, it will become a vicious circle. Jubilo's first year was 7 points, right?
MatsubaraYes, I played about 15 games and scored 7 points. I started in a few games, so the probability of scoring a goal was high.
- You've had good results. In the second year, I don't think it's because of Coach Oft, but the chances of participating have decreased.
MatsubaraI scored a lot of goals in the first year, so I was confident that I could do more in the second year, and I was really looking forward to it.
However, it was a frustrating day with few opportunities to participate. I think there were various factors at that time. At that time, I had a lot of questions such as "Why does this person treat me like this?"
As I played, I thought, ``Why can't I play when I've scored goals? Why is someone else playing?''
In South America, teams are evaluated based on whether or not they produce results, such as scoring goals or making plays related to scoring goals. The player who produced the result climbs to the top.
In the case of Japan, even if you don't produce results, you can appear again. I still have many doubts about it.
I didn't really understand how Coach Oft thought about hiring players. But I was helped by coaches like Masakuni Yamamoto.
Now I can understand a little why it was not used at the time. I later apologized directly to Oft. When Oft was the coach of Jubilo again, I was the commentator, so I went to apologize.
It would have been very easy to understand if there was a follow-up saying, "This is the reason why you are not used."
I went to consult with the president and coach at the time, but I didn't understand why I was on the bench even though I was the second goal scorer in the team.
The most reliable person who brought me to Jubilo, Mr. Yamamoto, was in the Football Association, so I didn't get to talk to him much.
――At that time, Jubilo had prominent members such as Sukilatchi.
MatsubaraToshiya (Fujita) was there too. But at the time, I was very unsatisfied with it. I scored the second goal in the team, and I've scored points in the Atlanta Olympic qualifiers, so I thought I'd be playing more matches in my second year, but I didn't.
Even if you score a point, you can't go out. Another player is used. Soccer at Jubilo is no longer fun.
I've always played while listening to the director's eye color. When I was feeling such suffocation, I received an offer from Shimizu S-Pulse during the season of the Atlanta Olympics.
