- How can Japan become a football like Mr. Kamamoto?
 

Kamoto: We must reconsider football itself from a small time. I need to practice 1 to 1 or 2 to 2 when practicing. In football games, we must win in phase. FW players do not fight on a one-on-one basis, so why do I have to return the ball to the back? If you win the game with 2-0 and you have five minutes remaining, you can turn the ball as it is. If you do, thoroughly.
 

I do halfway things, so I get caught by Kahn and go with Guarn. But when FW gets the ball, he should show his presence, and he has to be caught, that person. If it is not so, you do not need to go to the game.

- How about next year's World Cup, Japan? 

Kamoto:あのメンバーで、どうやって守って、どうやって点を入れるかって考えるしかないね。ブラジルワールドカップの時でもそうでしょ。チョッチョッチョッチョッ、ボールを回してボーンて獲られてコーンて行かれて。それで反省文では「個が強くなければならない」と言ってるけど、そんなことは何十年も前から言われている訳でしょ。  

Soccer is a sport of eleven people versus eleven people, but the aspect is one to one. If you can not win this one-on-one, you can not win the game. Right. Leaders are not sticking to winning, but children have to teach from a small time. Ramos (Rum Wei) who came to Japan from Brazil has been tremendously greedy against the game at any time. I'd like to win even if I play in a mini game. It is only whether or not Japanese players have that heart.

- Are there any Japanese players you expect? 

Kamoto:いないな。誰も別に期待してない。本当に誰も。  

Well, if young dresses (Yuuya Osako), Haraguchi (Moto Gengi), Kubo (Kuro Yuya) and that people, if they do it properly properly and do it properly, I expect a lot.

However, I do not see what I am going to do in the last game. What do you do and what do you show? Even though there are as many as 4,500 spectators. Why do I take a ball and pass back. If the FW holds the ball, we have to pick it up.
 

- Please tell us the reason why you retired from active service and progressed to the direction of guidance. 

Kamoto: That's right, after entering Yanmar as a player for 17 years, working as an employee after quitting is funny. As I came so far, football has not spread throughout Japan, and I started classroom because I need to teach children the importance of soccer.

――1There are times when you may be interested. What is actually the height of Mr. KamotocmIs it? 

Kamoto: I wonder if I was 181 cm (laugh). Hehehe (ha ha). 

- In the table179cmIt was supposed to be.  

Kamoto: If I had 180 at that time, I did not like being big and big fellow, so I went to 179 (laugh). 

- That's right(Lol) 

Kamoto: Actually 181 I think there was. We measure weight, but we do not measure height. I have to control myself all the time. I was daring to do 76 kg of 179 (laugh).

- Finally, thank you for your message to all the people involved in football. 

KamotoNot only athletes but also leaders, doctors, trainers, supporters and so on, everyone in various genres is doing their best, so the national team that will be the top must be strong. After the World Cup in Russia next year and Qatar in 2022, after that the competition will increase to 48 teams, so nothing interesting. If Asia's quota is 8 teams, Japan will definitely come out. Even if you let go.

In order to acquire something that really can fight equally with the world, I think that it is necessary for players to think well. Are there 30, 40 players now going to Europe? I am rude to such people, but it is not too bad. I have hardly gone to the game. How many of them are out in full time?
 

そうやって考えると、日本のサッカーってのは、こんなもんかということじゃん。それをマスコミの人達は持てはやしてるよね。そりゃテレビを見てもらいたいし、新聞を買ってもらいたいからワーッとやっているけど、結局本質はどこにあるのかということ見間違えたら駄目だよね。  

だから僕は厳しい事を言うけど、今のままでは日本はワールドカップ3連敗しますよ、間違いなく。前回の時も、こんなサッカーでは予選グループを突破できないと言ったよね。世界に通じるサッカーをするためにパスを繋ぎましょうと言うのは、ベストに決まってるじゃん。それができて点を取れればの話だけど。  

指導者は高校までに良い選手を育てて、そこからは選手が自分でやっていかないとね。ペナルティエリア付近でボール貰ったら俺なら絶対離さないでシュートまでいくよ(笑)。シュートを外したら、何で外れたのかを考えなきゃね。それでまたガーンと蹴って基本を身に付けていかないと。だから、ボールを蹴れ!何回でも。何回でもや!ドーン!と(笑)。  (了)
