Kato: Gerrard and Roy are from Hong Kong, are not they?
Roy: Both are Hong Kong.
Kato: When did you come to Taiwan?
Gerrard: I am in 1989, Showa 64. I came to study at a university in Taiwan.
Kato: Showa 64 year ?? long!
Gerrard: It has been nearly three decades. In Taiwan it is very good service for Chinese students living abroad, "Overseas Chinese". I can study for free, provide meals and accommodations. Please come and study under good conditions. So I came to Taiwan.
Kato: Hey! What is the relationship between China and Taiwan? I was surprised that the service was good.
Gerrard: Speaking from history, it will be very long. I could write a book (laugh)
Kato: Is there a lot of exchange between China and Taiwan? China came to Taiwan, Taiwan came to China ...
Gerrard: Recently it is becoming popular. In the past, since both China and Taiwan thought that each other was independent China, both of them had pretty good terms by calling out overseas Chinese, especially foreign students, to their own country. I was talking about both sides.
Kato: You want to come to your country?
Gerrard: If you come to study, live there, have the emotions there, will you stand in that position?
Kato:I see. But it's strange. Are China and Taiwan originally the same? However, some Chinese soccer players play in the world, but Taiwan is still ...
Gerrard: Not at all. Am not interested.
Kato: What is the difference?
Gerrard: Taiwan is influenced by America, is not it?
Kato: That's where fate broke up. A sports that is thriving in Taiwan that is close with the United States ....
Roy: Baseball and basketball.
Kato: Where is China's influence? Russia?
Gerrard: I used to be friends with the Soviet Union in the past. Chinese have always liked football.
Roy: There is also a joke in China saying "We invented soccer" (laugh)
Kato: Haha (lol) So long ago, was football popular in China?
Gerrard: About 40 years ago, I was extremely popular since I was a child. Because Hong Kong is close to Guangzhou, I went to see Guangzhou Hengdai match. There are a lot of people, there is a memory that was very exciting. The admission ticket was about 50 yen in Japan.
Kato: 50 sen? Was it cheap in that time in China?
Gerrard:Yes. The continent of China was a time of poverty, but still 50 cents was nothing more than a price.
Kato: I can hardly imagine.
Gerrard: When I was a child, there was a house with TV at 1 chome. There is a memory that 30 people, 40 people gathered in one of them, and watched football. Even though he was poor, all the Chinese were absorbed in football. Perhaps because there was not any entertainment, I guess it was the only fun.
Kato: Guangzhou Hengda at that time was not such a team that won the superstar, right?
Gerrard: Now I am supported by companies and become a rich club, but at that time it was a team in Guangdong province.
Kato: Get stronger. Gerrard: It's true that Guangzhou Hengda is hot right now, but the Chinese team is just buying people who are good at money, the national team is not good, and I think Japan is the strongest in the true sense of the word. I think.
Kato: I am a little surprised that those words from Hong Kong are coming out.
Gerrard: The Japanese are not only active in the J - League.
Roy: Good players are called from the world team!
KatoSpeaking of being playing in the world, there are Korean players too.
Gerrard: I think that Japan and Korea do not change so much. But China ....
Kato: Start by bringing famous athletes with money. What is the idea of growing?
Gerrard: When certainly the J League was created, we also gradually became strong as we invited the stars of the world and learned. But at that time the J League and Guangzhou are completely different.
Japan is about to retire, but I called people who have a lot of experience and skills, then they taught me as a coach and absorbed it from them firmly. I knew and learned the difference with the world properly.
Roy: The Chinese team invited excellent players from outside, it will be better at that time, but will not make a foundation in the meantime. And Japan thinks that the place where the foundation and foundation are properly made for each generation properly is also excellent.
Kato: It's a strange feeling. Japan is finding challenges compared to Europe, but when you look at it from another country in Asia it will become that subject.
Gerrard: I like Japan, including the past from the past. Japanese people have always been serious since long ago, and they work hard.
Kato: By the way, where are the two countries who support the World Cup?
GerrardIt is Japan.
Roy: I am the Netherlands.
Kato: But what if China were out?
Gerrard: Absolutely, I will support Chinese rivals (laugh)!
Kato:why? Because ...
Gerrard: Are you Chinese? You want to ask?
Kato:Oh, yes…. Gerrard: I'm from Hong Kong. I'm not Chinese.
Roy: I am a Taiwanese person.
Kato:Really….
Gerrard: 2004 I was betting on Japan when the Asian Cup finalists, China and Japan played games in Beijing. Shunsuke Nakamura was at the height of time, it was really nice.
Roy: But I, if truly China has reached a certain level and I am in the World Cup, I would like to cheer for it!
