Another one, his 17th goal. Hara is reportedly watching. Edit: added another one, his 18th. https://twitter.com/#!/iijikantai/status/193996270606614528/photo/1
Perfect timing for him. Only 18 players to bring ... I wouldn't want to be Sekizuka now. edit : 19, it's a hattrick.
isn't this a record for a japanese in Europe? Honda's 16 goals was the previous, right? Of course if we're talking about top leagues it's Kagawa edit : oh come onnnn no video (yet, hopefully)
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqaqz8_sevilla-atl_sport?start=99#from=embediframe Hopefully we'll see him at the Toulon tournament.
I have a journalist pass for the occasion, if I have a driver I may try to interview him and a few others. I'm really looking forward to it, went to watch two years ago, came back feeling as if I had been beat up in a dark alley.
So... a hat-trick haul in a 5-2 win? 19 goals, is he top goalscorer in his division yet? cuz last time someone said 2nd... I hope he gets his chance in the 1st squad....
The 2010 team was basically the 2nd team. I think that they are going to send a much stronger squad this year in preparation for the Olympics.
yeah yeah I knew but local observers didn't. It was just painful. Still remember that poor Yamazaki having a nightmare there, how surprised I was to see him play like a possessed man at the Asian Games a few months later ...
Care to explain about the thing about Yamazaki? And you do mean Ryohei, Jubilo Iwata's striker/winger, right? Well, we can never know, but that's why I hope he can get that chance, but not just one.
Man is this a record? I meant this is the first time a japanese football player scored 20 goals in Europe right?
If he plays well at the Olympics he'll do his first-team chances at Sevilla no harm. Especially if he makes an impression against Spain, no doubt a fair few La Liga scouts will be watching this game. Of course, it's a very big 'if'. I hope he gets loaned out to another La Liga club, Levante seemed perfect but I remember they couldnt afford him.
I know, the point is: did a japanese football player scores 20 goals even in a "B team" or in a "reserves team" or however in a "not big" league? I think this is the first time ever. Than this is a (little) record nope?
http://www.sponichi.co.jp/soccer/news/2012/05/14/kiji/K20120514003249230.html Finishes with 20 goals in the season 2nd highest goal scorer in the 3rd division (80 teams).
I red somewhere a reference of a japanese site where they said Ibusuki, Miyaichi and Usami will be call for sure. Or maybe was one of that japanese sport show that someone occasionally upload on YouTube.
