Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2004-05 [R] Matsui is not a striker, but a winger or attacking Midfielder. Anyway I am looking forward to watching both players.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2004-05 [R] is there anyway that we can watch this match through our comp?
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2004-05 [R] I think Matsui will start but im not sure Ahn will, he usually comes on around 60 th minute.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2004-05 [R] right. they still don't think ahn is trained enough to be a starter yet i heard. anyways, the game will be good, i hope.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2004-05 [R] Nakamura makes his debut for Celtic today, Koji Nakata starts also for marseille after not playing last week
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2004-05 [R] Celtic 2 - 0 Dundee United Nakamura had an absolute blinder on debut.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2004-05 [R] Expect nothing less from him. Destined to be a superstar this guy.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2004-05 [R] man of the match performance in a very poor league against a very poor team for a team out of europe after 1 game, i wouldn't look into it that much, should have stayed at reggina
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2004-05 [R] Nah I'm not saying that based on this game. He is good regardless of his performance. He is that kind of superstar player. I haven't been following him closely enough though so I was surprised he has chosen the Scottish league. England would've been a better choice for him I should think.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2004-05 [R] Koji Nakata subbed in 74th miniute , lens 2-0 marsielle, at least he started
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2004-05 [R] Nakamura played well considering this is his first game, but no goal, no assist. MOM is just a gift for his debue, I think. Great atmoshere of the stadium , and crowd of stadium seem to expect Nakamura much. I hope he can respond to expectations for Celtic fan.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2004-05 [R] Not if you look at any of the Celtic message boards - they think Nakamura was fantastic, and all the media reports over here say that he controlled the game.
Re: Official Japanese Abroad Thread 2004-05 [R] I think Nakamura has chosen Celtic because he could play in the Champions League. His job is to bring back the championship to the club. Meanwhile, Takahara played for HSV briefly in the opening match. HSV beat Nurnberg 3-0 with goals by E. Mpenza and S. Barbarez. This year is particularly important for him because he has not secured his place in the national team. I made a new thread for this season.
