Nanami：Everyone is active in Europe, and you have experienced the international A match as a representative of Kengo, but what do you think about the difference between world football and Japan?
Kawamata: After all, it's physical. It's the strength of the body, and it's good to use your physical ability.
Nanami:I see. What about Usami?
Usami: I play in the Bundesliga, so it's kind of like the difference between Germany and Japan. .
Nanami: I think you experienced with four teams in Germany (Bayern Munich, Augsburg, Hoffenheim, Düsseldorf).
Usami:I agree. Even in practice games, we are very particular about winning or losing, so fights often occur within the team. That's why even when it comes to league games, it naturally switches to that kind of switch. Even in practice, if I lose a game, my teammates complain a lot, so I'm very particular about winning.
Nanami: What about Muto?
Muto: I'm the same as Takashi, but I felt especially greedy for goals in penalties. Even if I take a PK in a match, (my teammate) will hold the ball and never let go. Even if you say, "No, I took it," it's like ignoring it and putting it in the penalty spot yourself. So once we got into a big fight with the team, about four people were called to the director's office, and we quarreled all the time (laughs).
Nanami: Still not pulling?
Muto: Absolutely not. However, in the end, it was decided that the player would take the penalty kick. If you break it, you will be fined, that kind of level. Also, at the time, I was fighting for relegation, so I couldn't take a penalty kick after that. In Germany, they are greedy to score points like that, and everyone understands the weight of that one point. So, I think that the greed for that kind of goal is something that Japanese people lack.
Nanami: Didn't Usami have that kind of experience in Germany too?
Mutoh, Nakajima, Kawamata, Nanami (roar of laughter)
Nanami: What does Muto think about speed?
Muto: Lower teams in the 1st Bundesliga, including Mainz, cannot win against high-ranking opponents such as Bayern in possession soccer, which involves firmly connecting and scoring goals. So, the only way to win is to defend well and aim for a counter.
That is why I think that what is required of Japanese people is the ability to run on the counter. In the second half of the game, when you are tired, it is very important to be able to move forward. Therefore, I feel that all four or five players in the front line must be able to play attacking football when countering.
Nanami: What about the speed of the Portuguese league?
Naoshima: The speed of Porto, Benfica and Sporting players are completely different. Really fast. In particular, I have the impression that Porto would easily lose the ball even if we were defending.
Nanami:thank you. Listening to everyone's stories so far, of course there is an advantage in simply winning the speed and physicality of each individual player, but the team can do well with speed-oriented tactics such as short counters by multiplying the number of players. I feel like I'm playing good soccer when I use it properly.

Nanami: Didn't Usami have that kind of experience in Germany too?
Usami: Ah, that's (Haraguchi) Genki-kun. Genki-kun said 10 times, "I'll kick it," but he said 11 times, "No, I'll kick it, so let me borrow it" (from his teammates) (laughs). I already gave up on kicking a PK and handed over the ball. However, after the match was over, I was mad and said, “What the hell is that guy!” (laughs).
Mutoh, Nakajima, Kawamata, Nanami (roar of laughter)
Nanami: How about Shoya? I think I'm confident that I scored double figures in the Portuguese league.
Mutoh, Nakajima, Kawamata, Nanami (roar of laughter)
Nanami: How about Shoya? I think I'm confident that I scored double figures in the Portuguese league.
Naoshima: The speed of play is completely different. We have a lot of very aggressive players.
Nanami: Is the defense also offensive?
Naoshima:I agree. Basically, it's a defense that goes to get the ball.
Nanami: Then, I would like to ask Katago, if there are any deficiencies in Japanese when competing in international matches, what do you think should be compensated for?
Kawamata: First of all, the physique we were born with is completely different, so I think we have to make an effort to get closer to it. I asked Takashi about the technology (laughs).
Nanami: Other than Kawamata, the other three are technical and speed type. I believe that Japanese technology will definitely pass the world, and I think it actually does to some extent. Then I wonder what will be needed in an international match, what about Usami?
Usami: But technology. more technology. No matter what kind of opponent comes, no matter what speed and reach players come, good guys can keep the ball. I felt it when I saw Spain's second-row players, Isco, Iniesta, and Silva. By comparing myself with those players, I felt that the only way I could live in Germany was to pursue my skills to such an extent. That's why I wanted to focus more on technology.
Nanami: Those three are not physical monsters, and their stature is about the same as that of Japanese people.
Usami:yes. I'm going to do it with a place and an idea. Or, I thought that I would not be able to beat the world unless I had a style where I would get along with my teammates.
Nanami: How about Muto?
Muto: As Takashi said, I think it's important for Japanese players to be able to put the ball where they want, and fine movements are important. I really like muscle training, and I was doing a lot of it for a while. But after all, black athletes, and athletes who are 190 cm tall and are fast, have natural muscles, so physically, I can't compete.
However, I also think that if you don't have the speed to run, you won't be able to play an active role overseas. If you're a normal forward, you'll probably be placed in the top line in most Japanese teams, but if you join an overseas team, you'll usually be below midfield. Everyone was really fast, so I was surprised at first.
Nanami: Well then, I would like to talk a little about speed. Shoya, having experienced the Portuguese league and international matches, what do you feel is the biggest difference in speed between Japan and the rest of the world?
Naoshima: I think that the speed of running is simply different, and the speed of passing is also different. European players' passes are probably as fast as Japanese shoots, so I think they're pretty fast.
Nanami: How about Usami?
Usami: In Germany, the speed and power at times like this is amazing.
Nanami: Is it the speed at which you go offensively, or the speed at which you gather up defensively?
Usami: The destructive power of the short counter is harsh. There is a feeling that something is pushing me, and I get scared when I do it. Losing the ball just once will result in a loss of points, so you can't lose the ball carelessly. Because that would lower the rating. Especially when you play in the first Bundesliga, there are times when you feel even fear.
Nanami: Then, Dortmund or Leipzig's short counter speed is not half-hearted, is it?
Usami: I was only in the Bundesliga 1 part a little while I was in Augsburg, but especially Leverkusen's short counter was really harsh. That short counter was too harsh and I lost the ball, but that mistake created the memorable 10,000 goal in the Bundesliga (laughs). At that time, I thought, "Wow, Yay!"Nanami: Is the defense also offensive?
Naoshima:I agree. Basically, it's a defense that goes to get the ball.
Nanami: Then, I would like to ask Katago, if there are any deficiencies in Japanese when competing in international matches, what do you think should be compensated for?
Kawamata: First of all, the physique we were born with is completely different, so I think we have to make an effort to get closer to it. I asked Takashi about the technology (laughs).
