Mr. Fujita went through Jubilo Iwata and joined Van Foret Kofu in 2001. In 2005 he contributed to the promotion of the first J1 promotion of the team, etc. Over the years, he took over the number 10 and played an active role as the team's command tower.

Fujita, who had received tremendous support from his supporters during his active career, is asking what kind of second career he is currently walking in.

- What kind of work are you doing now?

Fujita:
I established a soccer school in Kofu and teach children. I do not want to go out much before, so I try to make it not noticeable. (Lol)

Also, from February 2016 we are also coaching with the team called VALIE Tsuru.

--Did you look for a soccer-related job after you retired?

Fujita:
If you are a soccer player, you guess that you feel like somewhere in your heart somewhere "I want to engage football after retirement."

I hope to make use of my experiences as a soccer player in the future and I hope to be a power of children who work hard to grasp my dreams.


- When you retired, did not you feel like "Can you continue working a bit more?"

Fujita:Even if you belong to any team, everyone should feel like "I want to continue with active players". But I think that I will eventually think about my children.

Even at this event we got the opportunity to play soccer with the children, but in future I would like to use the experiences of soccer players to reach the goals of children.

- As opposed to appearance, it is really pure. (Laugh) Are there goals for the second career in the future?

Fujita:Is it better to have a slightly bad atmosphere? (Lol)

It doesn't matter what the shape is, and I want to make use of my experience playing soccer so that children who like soccer can get closer to their dreams.

- Have you felt it when you built up your second career? 

Fujita:Everyone will notice after finishing active, but I can not do anything by myself. It is very important that people who support you are around.

I felt that it is very important to hone up personality and personality to meet people who support what I want to do.

――Did you have such a sensitive antenna even when you were active?

 Fujita:It was totally. Because the life as the athlete becomes the center because the absolutely active age. There were many things that I noticed in a change of people 's connection after retirement.
 
 
――You have a fulfilling second career even after you retire, right?

Fujita:
Life after retirement is more fun. I think that there was also a part that I am doing in the active era, because there is a part that can not be seen with the eyepieces if it is a relationship of "player" and "human". I like the way people engage with people after retirement.

――Are there any future goals?

Fujita:Kids really love soccer. I would like to make use of my experience during my active career so that my children can get closer to their dreams and goals.
