Kato: What is the spike that Iba first wore, or the most memorable spike?

Iva: Starting from bare feet, becoming shoes like shoes, gradually getting good things little by little .... The most memorable thing is Copa Mundial (Adidas) which I got at the futsal competition when I was 14 years old!

I long for long and is the one I wanted most. From the moment I got it, my career started! I am not a professional, but as a footballer.

Kato: Winning item?

IvaI tried a shooting tournament inside the competition. As we proceeded to six people, becoming three people · · ·. And I won! The winner could choose what I like and I chose Copa Mundial.

Kato: Do you remember feelings when you got it?

Iva:Yes! It was a great honor in my life. I tried playing with feeling like becoming Ronaldinho or Maradona · · ·. I was really happy. Because we were together till sleep at night (haha)

Kato: That is special memories! Perhaps, you wore it for a very long time?

Iva: Well, I wore it while repairing for about 2 years! I glue it with adhesive, I ask my mother to sew. Now I will change more and more in two months (laugh)

Kato: That ~ did you forget that feeling when you were a child (lol)? What?

Iva: I have not forgotten I have not forgotten (laugh) Since I was in a situation where I could not get a spike when I was small, now I have used it from my team mates Kazu (Miura), Zato (Nakazato) and Komiyama (Komiyama) I got a spike and I am carrying out activities to take it to Morocco and distribute it after the season.

Yokohama FC is a good team and everyone will cooperate.

Kato: That is nice.

Iva: When I was a child, I feel really happy because the children face a very delightful face, like when I first got Copamundial. It will be the same feeling and emotion as that time.

Kato: It's their first spike.

Iva: Now I am in a very happy environment where I do not have to think about buying a spike, but I still have a lot of children who can not buy spikes, so I'd like to do something for that.
 
Kato: What kind of spike are you wearing now?

IvaIt is Mizuno. It was mostly Nike so far ... but Mizuno has no chance to get it in Norway.

But I came to Japan and started wearing Mizuno after I tried wearing it. I really like it.

Kato: What was good about Mizuno?

Thumb dscf0247

Iva: Because the shape of the foot is different depending on the person, I think which brand to fit in each, but in my case Mizuno's leather fits and is comfortable to wear. It is the feeling that it gets cumbersome most at the foot.

Kato: This is natural leather, is not it? There are a lot of artificial leather with Nike. I feel pretty different from artificial to natural, but do not you care about weight?

Iva: There are many people who choose strikers because light shoes can move faster or shoot quickly, but I think Mizuno is better. The weight is also lighter than Nike.

Kato: So you think you are going to wear Mizuno for a while?

Iva: I do not have any contracts so I can wear any shoes, but I would like to keep wearing Mizuno if possible!

Kato: I see, I like it ~.

Iva: But actually, the one I really want to wear the most is not the spike I'm wearing now. It is the Morelia 2 of the same Mizuno.

I am currently wearing Morelia NEO. Both Leandro and Komi (Komiyama) are also wearing Morelia 2 and saying it is really good! !

KatoAre you wearing NEO only for Iba players?

Iva: Komi here (raising my hands high), Iva (lowering my hands down) So I can not put Moreorea 2 yet ~ ~ (lol)

Kato: Ahahahaha (haha) Let's aim for Morelia 2 next year! NEO is a new model though (laugh)

Iva: But I think that Morelia 2 is the best for me, I want to wear Morelia 2! !

Thumb c5991314 5cc7 4373 b8fa ba583d50b6c2
 
Kato: For next season, at the foot of Iba players Morelia 2 shines! What? It is also noticeable there (laugh)
