Samurai Concerto # 5 16.09.01 Asia final qualifying Japan vs. UAE ~ "12 of 14 people are Nike in UAE.Honda, Okazaki, Yoshida, Oshima. Mizuno preferred by Japanese main axis ~

The main character was Nike. The match between Japan and UAE is on September 1st.

Ahmed Khalil, who scored the two goals that crushed Japan, was wearing Nike spikes. More specifically, 9 out of 11 starting members in the UAE were wearing Nike spikes. The three players who participated in the second half also all wear Nike.

Niki was the most frequent even in spikes of Japanese stamen + substitute players. Mr. Shuzo Nishikawa, Masato Morishige, Hiroki Sakai, Takuma Asano, Motoki Motomuchi. If there is Nagatomo Yuudo who could not join the representative with injury. Nike use player has already increased by one more.
 


Adidas follows Nike. The four players are Takanori Sakai, Shinji Kagawa, Hiroshi Kiyotake, and Takashi Usami. Usami, who entered the game midway through the second half, was wearing Adizero shoes with a distinctive pink color. I'm sure the manufacturer wants him to wear the new model, but he seems to prefer Adizero, which is characterized by its light weight.

Actually, Mizuno also has four people. In addition to the familiar trio of Maya Yoshida, Keisuke Honda, and Shinji Okazaki, Ryota Oshima, who was suddenly selected as a starter in his first international A match, is wearing the ``Morelia II.''

If Makoto Hasebe's double-volunteer partner was Yosuke Kashiwagi, Adidas would have added one, and if Hotaru Yamaguchi had added Nike, coach Halilhodzic appointed the 23-year-old who participated in the Rio Olympics as the starter. If Yumeo Kanazaki had been selected as a member, Mizuno might have had five members.



As I watched from the press box at Saitama Stadium, I noticed the ``Basara 101MD'' that Okazaki was using. The black-based spikes, on the other hand, stand out.

Of the 14, 5 were from Nike, 4 each from Adidas and Mizuno, for a total of 13.



The only one left is captain Hasebe, and this is Puma as you know. I was wearing the "Evotouch Pro FG" in black, white, and yellow, but I was drawn to the yellow part of the high-cut part, and I thought, "It's black spikes!" compared to Okazaki's "Basara 101MD." I wasn't impressed.

Even so, we lost at home to UAE!

If Asano 's goal was recognized. He also wears Nike spikes, so the leading role in the game against Japan against UAE has not changed.
