■ I understand well the reason why I can continuously engage in sports business. Then, please let me know about the futsal world next. Anything, President Kogure heard that it is a walking dictionary in the futsal world · · ·.

木暮  No, it is not such a big thing (laugh). I met futsal when my son entered university, so it was around 1999.

Originally, when my son was in the fourth grade of elementary school, I passed the selection of the underlying organization of Yomiuri soccer club (now · Tokyo Verdi 1969) at that time, my husband and wife cheered my son for football, but my son has a small height It was not easy to become regular.

I played at the Yomiuri Football Club for 3 years as a middle school, but when I entered high school, I could not go up to the above category.

So, I was aiming to continue playing at the football club of Shonan Institute of Technology Senior High School, but when I entered university, I tried playing futsal at the practice range, "Futsal is suitable for me Is not it?
 

If it says so much, once it goes to see it, once you go to watching it with interest, it is very speedy, the switching of defense is also intense, and the movement to make a space and the move out, very head competition However, many points are included. I had great interest with this being an amazing sport.

Later, my son would have been lucky, but when I was in my second year of college, I was elected Futsal Japan representative.
 

It was an era when prejudice against futsal was great at that time. Many football officials says that "Do not play futsal because it makes a habit of turning balls off the top." However, when I looked into overseas circumstances, I also learned that Ronaldinho and other superstars were doing futsal in early childhood and that there was great potential.

そこで、おこがましい話ですけど、フットサルをもっと広めることが、サッカー界全体の底上げにもつながるだろうという想いが強くなり、私自身もますますフットサルに関わっていくようになりました。  

■ITHow did Kogure, the president of the company, interacted with the futsal world?

木暮  ITの力でフットサルを広めるために、当時、私が行ったのは「速報」でした。関東フットサルリーグ(以下、関東リーグ)の試合会場に行って、1日5試合、パソコンの前で、ひたすらフットサルの速報をWEBサイトに掲載しました。  

その頃は、インターネットテレビもツイッターのようなSNSもない時代でしたから、速報のためのシステムを技術者に作らせてね。そんなことをやって、関東リーグの広報委員長なんかもやらせてもらって、競技普及のお手伝いをしていましたね。  

■ At that time F
It was a national league like the league was not it? Sometimes I read articles written by Kogure himself at that time.


KigureI wrote it with a sense of mission called Ikan if I do not leave the history of ten years of dawn of the futsal in the future. The futsal world in those days, the merger of teams was really intense.

I wanted to be the top in Japan, I wanted to win that team, the team merged or split with such feelings. Because it is not a professional club, it is really interesting that you draw out a good guy from that team, incorporate that team and merge, and such a powerful figure change.

Therefore, we attached the title "Kanto Futsal Sangokushi" to the article.
 

■ What has changed in those days and in the current futsal world?

木暮  In the past, when there was a good guy, it was such a time that it was sometimes rumored that it was suddenly chosen as a representative of Japan. But now, in the pyramid structure that the Football Association made, it goes up from the bottom, it will be chosen as the national team for the first time playing in the top league, so it seems like a dream has diminished.

In addition, although the F-League was made, the domestic competition level rose in a stretch, but on the other hand, I feel that few players have a sense of having a goal to jump out overseas and win a match. In the past, everyone jumped out overseas.
 

Even now I still have the All Japan Futsal Championship, but at that time it was an era when people who were good at soccer gathered, and repeatedly practiced and aimed at going up.

Now that the team of F-League has been granted the seed right, it is almost impossible for the amateur team to climb one by one and take the top in Japan. It's a matter of course because the competition level is rising, but it makes me feel interesting if you can create a situation that makes it possible for Shimoguchi to happen in another form. At the very least, will you make a replacement fight to the F league?

Even Futsal Japan delegates not only players in the F League, I think that even if they are widely selected, it will be interesting, and putting effort into the Japanese delegation of the U - 20, it would be nice to have a mechanism that could have a dream I think, though.
 

I intend to introduce the fact that sports is supported by the business aspect, but the story has derailed to the history of the futsal world itself and future opinions (laugh). I will put the story back on the business side. Next let's tell me about Minsal.
