"Ikemen Gorrelo" F league circle "Seki Ooi interview Vol. 1 ~ Foot familiar preeminent! Evolution made by GAViC shoes using kangaroo leather ~
The Japan Futsal League (F League) opened on September 23, 2007 at Yoyogi National Gymnasium No. 1 Gymnasium. Ten years have passed, and the league's first All-Star game was held in the 16-17 season, and both popularity and ability as a competition are steadily rising. Meanwhile, Fugador Sumida, which entered the market from the 14th to 15th season, is steadily strengthening, such as running fast at the top in the early part of last season. Taiki Seike, who reigns as the guardian deity of this club, is also one of the players who have supported the recent breakthrough. In this interview, I talked to handsome Goreiro, who led the team to victory with stable saving and was elected to the Japan national team in 2013, about the process of becoming an F leaguer and his own gear.
Seike: I had been playing football aiming for J - Leaguer since I was a little, but at the same time futsal was doing well at the same time. In Oita Trinita U - 15, Vermont Cup (All Nippon Shonen Futsal Tournament), etc actually participated in the competition.
- Originally there was a point of contact.
Seike:Yes. I knew the fun to play and the charm as a competition, so I felt strongly that I wanted to do futsal with my changer once more. So when I was a high school student, I took part in the practice of Pescadora Machida (hereinafter Machida) using summer vacation.
There was a acquaintance that happened there, but he told the stakeholders of the team that I wanted to do "futsal" and the joining was decided at once.
- Did you decide to join on the spot! What?
Seike: That's right (laugh). I was also surprised. However, it does not mean that I joined Machida as it was.
What do you mean?
Seike: Since I retired from the soccer club and graduated from high school there was a period of about two months, so I joined the team called Katiola AZNA (currently Kyushu Futsal League 1) in Oita in order to practice futsal is.
This is also a coincidence, but the director there was connected to GK coach of Vasaji Oita (hereinafter referred to as Vasage), and I got a story saying "I am searching for GK". When I heard the story, I was invited from Director Tateyama Mario of Vasaji of the time "I came to practice once", so when I was allowed to participate for only one day, "Please come right away" ( Lol).
- It was adopted immediately, did not you? (Laugh).
Seike:Yes. However Machida 's joining group was decided, so I was worried about what to do. I also consulted my parents and friends a lot. However, it is rude to compare, Machida at that time is a satellite of the F League (2nd league), while Vasagi is the top team. In addition to that, Oita is local, so the latter is more rewarding.
I was sorry in the position I was asked for, but I refused Machida's direction and decided to join Vassage.
- It is amazing that they will join in only one practice participation (laugh).
Seike: I was really lucky. However, when it was time to become a futsal player, "I was a J-Leager that I was aiming for," I suddenly crossed my head. At the time I was offered an offer from university football, but if I had paid a long period of four years to the university, I could not keep motivating for the pros ....
And there is also a height problem. When it is J League it is told variously that there is no average 183.4 cm. I am 178 cm, so I guess it's a bit tough.
So it is not a frustration, but I decided to try the way of professional futsal. That is the real meaning, it is the beginning of the F - Leger Seike Ooi.
- I see. So I'd like to start talking about gear from here, but which makers were you using during the Passaji era?
Seike: In the first year of joining, I received Asics worn by himself at the Shinsuji player (now, Esporada Hokkaido) that belonged to Vasagi at the time, so I was wearing a few feet You did it. From the second year AGLA (Agra) began to use.
- They are wearing a lot. When is the current GAViC (Gabic)?
SeikeActually, this is also a coincidence, but since there was one competitor who had contracted with GAViC at that time Vasagi, the Royal sales people who are working now came to the practice range of the team. Originally I was interested in GAViC a little, so when I greet you I'd like to "wear shoes once". I got to be offered from there.
- That was the encounter with GAViC. So please tell us the characteristics and commitment of the shoes you are wearing now.

- Is the insoles you showed at the end your own product?
Seike: No, the insol will contract with BMZ and the company. There are quite a few players in use.
- Are there features compared to other companies?
Seike: BMZ insole draws out the function of the foot which the player originally has, so I do not need an arch supporter. Besides, it is great that it is cheap.
Now I am thankful that various types of insole are made for soccer and running, etc.
Thank you very much. Although it is said that the shoes will be exhausted in about 2 months when using shoes every day, is Seike player a type to wear a new item in the game?
Seike: I can not put a brand new on a bit. You can not use it in a game unless you practice it with your feet firmly.
But it feels like Japanese people have such a commitment. I am also worried about other shoes' shoes, but foreign players do not care about such details at all.
Especially Brazilians are not particular about it, they are wearing overseas manufacturers who do not even know themselves, because grip is good, they are wearing shoes for volleyball (lol).
- Interesting (haha). I heard such a story, Japanese may be too delicate.
Seike: I really do not care.
- Although I had you talk about the merit of GAViC shoes so far, it is a perfection degree that I can not think that development started very much from 2012.
Seike: On the contrary in 6 years I finally be able to put out the quality so far. At first it is honestly like a toy ... (laugh). Since it was really such a level, I think that it is now as a team as a result of keeping the team together as the development members are renewed each time, and I also continue to say opinions.
I hope the shoes that these kangaroo natural leathers are used in the future will be more popular so that they can be worn by top league players.
