- How can a great striker be born in Japan than Mr. Kamoto?
Kamoto: Repetitive practice. There are many balls now. We didn't have that many balls in our time. Still, you were practicing shooting.
- Shooting at the Mexico Olympics with a score of seven scores, he recorded 2 assists and led Japan to a brilliant bronze medal. After that, it is said that an offer from overseas team came also.
Kamoto: I became viral hepatitis after the Mexican Olympics, so I could not go abroad. It took me about 3 years to cure. After that, when I was 28 years old, I started playing soccer again. Another offer came from overseas, but it is better to know the monthly payment of 1 million yen, and it is better to get hundreds of thousands at Yanmar (laugh).
- During the Mexican Olympic Games, have you got a contract rather than a colored paper from a club official who disguised as a fan and have you ever tried to sign a danger?
Kamoto: I do not know how it was true, but since many people are asked for a signature, I do not know what to use for small signs, and the signature was written as "Gaman Kunishige" greatly in the middle of the paper Lol).
――Where was the overseas team that was strong against you?
Kamoto: Of course, Santos in Brazil. Pele got a strong point. Then Benfica. In Bayern Munich there was Beckenbauer, and at that time a reasonable team came to Japan.
- In Arsenal war, I was able to decide a terrible goal.
Kamoto:Yup. Heading down while jumping in.
- How was the foreign players?
Kamoto: The players over there come to Japan after the league match and feel like playing, and they don't know about this. In the past, unlike now, only club teams came to Japan. It was a ridiculous story that the national team came to Japan. It means that there was a big difference between Japan and the world.
Now, the national team and famous clubs have come to Japan. It costs a lot but it is good as customers get in. Japan loses, but I'm doing a good game too. After all, unlike something like rugby soccer, you can definitely win by putting 3 points. If it is rugby, I do not know even 20 points, so I always have to go ahead. But soccer can spin down the ball by themselves and end the game.
- Japan national football team decided to participate in the Russian World Cup in 2018.
Kamoto: It is natural that Japan has the power to participate in the World Cup and I fought hard because I lost in the first person, so it is said that I was cool down to the end. Well, that opponent can win. I thought that I should go smoothly with Sue, but I am sloppy.
――What is the point?
Kamoto: This is a professional gathering, I do not know what the opponent is professional or amateur. So, I took a match against New Zealand and Haiti that I played in a friendly game the other day. You can do that and you can not win a game in the preliminary league because you left for the World Cup. It is getting better that the players are getting better, but it is not good just by a good skill. So, I think that you have to think about how to play Japanese football here.
Japan has been competing in the World Cup since 2006, but I have to think a little about the essential way of thinking about soccer. It's difficult to change where. Japan is strange, isn't it? You can't win a match unless bravery and fighting come to the fore. If you think about it simply, that's it.
In the past, it was just winning. But now it's too beautiful too. Even if the ball's position is over 90%, you may lose the game. So, after saying what ball presentation is going on, Japanese football has gone wrong.
"I do not care about what a striker grows up" but I heard you are not trying to raise, is not it. Ball turning all the way. Soccer has to go into the goal. You can not win the game if you decide to partner if you do the ball turning. When I do it with a strong point, I can not win if I have to protect it. Well, if you play football in equal fashion, those who are skilled will win.
――The opponent of the World Cup is strong.
Kamoto: It's much stronger than Japan (laughs).
- When fighting a powerful country, the defense is very important.
Kamoto:Right. If you're doing a test match, it's better to do it in Iran, South Korea, or Uzbekistan than if you don't know what it is. The last time New Zealand and Haiti, that wasn't a test match. When I watched the game, I thought Haiti was "what country!" (Laughs). I shouldn't say that, but I wonder if it's okay if I play against a country of that level and score some points. In international matches, it is regulated that you can get up to 9 points, so you have to go to that point.
――I thought that the match against Haiti suddenly started to collapse after I got two points ahead.
Kamoto:Yes Yes Yes. I have to attack that opponent more. It's weak to spin the ball and be robbed quickly. In an attack, you have to attack even if you don't get a point.
The U17 representative made a mistake and it was done with one long pass. I have not seen the game, but I know roughly. I wonder what kind of football I was playing, but I'm good at Chong Chong Chong Chong. But I have to go to the goal.
