Former J Leaguer Masaaki Ideoka who fought in Hong Kong and Vietnam "Vol.3 Dinner of Fear"
I was took an eye out for Mr. Ideo Masaaki's brother, Yosuke Ide's brother, who moved to Leeds United in England. Yokohama FC ⇒ Hong Kong League ⇒ Vietnam League is an unusual career. In Vol.3, I heard about the dorm life in Vietnam and the story of Vietnamese football.

――I personally have the impression that the Vietnam League prefers foreign players with clear characteristics such as tall players and fast-footed players. How was it when you participated in the practice?
Iidoukiguchi: There were two FWs characterized by Brazilians. One of them, FW, decided to sign up and became a teammate.
In many cases, every team had two foreigners and three teams that appeared in AFC. At that time, I think that up to 3 people could be registered and up to 2 people could be on the pitch at the same time.
--I think you stayed in a dormitory in Vietnam, but how many people are there?
Iidoukiguchi: I was in a single room.
-It was good! I had a hard time sharing a room in a dormitory of an overseas team. A total of three people, a Nigerian, a Thai, and myself, lived in a double room. The Nigerians got angry on the way home, and a few days later I became two with the Thais (laughs).
Iidoukiguchi: Ahaha. It's hard to live with foreign players.
--What about other Vietnamese?
Iidoukiguchi: It was a triple room.
--- Was the dormitory in Vietnam beautiful?
Iidoukiguchi: It's not beautiful, but it was comfortable in a solid facility. There was a dormitory, a dining room, a pool and gym, and there were about 5 grounds. I also remember that there were two futsal grounds.
-Isn't it better than the J League? !!
Iidoukiguchi: The amazing environment was nice. But the quality of the lawn etc was not good. But it was okay for me to play soccer!
--What kind of turf is it in?
Iidoukiguchi: Although practice was natural grass, the legs are extremely tired with deep grass anyway in the bushwasa. Even if I kick the ball strongly, the pass speed is not at all. Because the lawn was not flat, the ball bounced off.
--- It's a ground where the technology at your feet is questioned. Did you communicate with your Vietnamese teammates?
Iidoukiguchi: I lived in a dormitory, and I felt like a family. It was like a friend! After that, I was impressed that everyone was saying what they wanted to say to the director (Vietnamese).
--- Is the dream of a Vietnamese player to play an active part in Vietnam and go to Europe or the J League?
Iidoukiguchi: The team I was in was a popular team with about 5 representative players. The three of them rented out to Yokohama FC and Mito HollyHock in 2016. One of them then went to the Korean K-League. They say they want to go to Japan again.
--There are many Vietnamese players who are good at their feet. I have an image that many players are short.
Iidoukiguchi: Well, it feels a little smaller. Although I have my feet, I felt that I wasn't taught much tactically in the defensive part. In Japan, you'll be taught from a young age. Try to get more, or drive in and take from the side. The tactical understanding of such defense was lower than in Japan.
Was the burden on Mr. Iguchi, the volunteer, a big burden on?
Iidoukiguchi: I gave various instructions from Volante, but I had a hard time because it didn't work as I said.
--Did you have any unusual practice?
Iidoukiguchi: It wasn't. The practice was similar to Japan. Almost the same thing is done, such as pass & control and possession. However, the size of the coat is larger than in Japan. Do 3 to 3 or 4 to 4 on a big court. That's why it's more of a physical training than a possession.
--How many customers do you have at home?
Iidoukiguchi: The stadium in the countryside had a capacity of 8,000 to 9000 people, but there were enough customers to make it fluffy. Away, maybe 10,000 to 20,000 people.
-It's hot and rewarding!
Iidoukiguchi: It's interesting. It's a soccer-specific stadium, and things like flying.
--What are you flying?
Iidoukiguchi: Shoes, trash, sticks, etc. If the referee is not good, you can fly to the referee after the match. There were a lot of guards.
――Do Vietnamese players make a living from soccer alone?
Iidoukiguchi: I didn't talk about that much, but Vietnam's average monthly income is 50,000 to 60,000 yen. With that in mind, soccer players were highly paid.
-I see. It's a selfish image, but is the dormitory meal a pho?
Iidoukiguchi: Breakfast is almost pho. And sandwiches.
-It looks delicious!
Iidoukiguchi: No, I'll do it first. I could still eat in the morning and noon, but at night ...
--What do you get at night?
Iidoukiguchi: I got a lot of strange meat and something. Frogs came out, and it seems like snakes, like chicks growing.
――It's a horrifying supper (laughs) As with meal time, what were you conscious of in communication?
Iidoukiguchi: I was trying to speak from myself. There was one person like a mood maker, so I went to get involved with him. Then he messed with me and gradually became friends with everyone.
--So you had a lot of good experiences in Vietnam!
Iidoukiguchi:Yes! I want to go again if I have a chance. If I could stay, I wanted to stay in Vietnam. A lot of spectators entered and it was rewarding. In the future, even if I go abroad, I even want to finish in Vietnam again.
――Please tell us about your current situation and goals.
Ideguchi: I will be playing soccer in FC Osaka this year too! I would like to do my best with the team who is now aiming to play overseas as well as doing to make a contribution to the entry of the J League which is the goal of the team even a little!
--This is the last question. What is your desire to play against your younger brother in some country someday?
Iidoukiguchi: I think both my brother and I have their own dreams and goals, so it would be great if we had the opportunity to work toward them!
