[Domestic soccer news]At DAZN’s “Yabetchi Stadium # 103”, Shunsuke Nakamura, who announced his retirement this season, and Hiroyuki Yabe, the MC, had a special talk. Looking back on his 26-year career, we will unravel the truth.
In 2002, when Nakamura was 24 years old, he moved to Italy’s Reggina for the first time overseas. In 2005, he transferred to Scotland’s prestigious Celtic, where he won the league title three times in a row, and won individual titles such as league MVP and goal of the year.
Looking back on this period, Nakamura said, “This is what a successful experience is like. The director was the same, the family was the same, everything went well.” On the contrary, he learned Japanese.”
Among them, in the 2006/07 UEFA Champions League, the two free kicks he scored against Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world, have been handed down as legends. Mr. Yabe said, “I prefer the first one,” pointing to the FK that was sunk at Old Trafford on September 13, 2006. He shoots pretty early,” reveals his analysis.
Then Nakamura commented, “As expected,” and revealed his intention at the time.
“I thought that the opponent would never know me, so if I kicked with ‘Se-no’, they would definitely read it. That’s why he deliberately kicked the run-up short and early, so I don’t think Zaha (who was in the wall) also flew, or (GK) Van der Sar didn’t see it.”
Nakamura continued, “Isn’t it amazing, Mr. Yabe, who sees through it?” .
In addition, he talks about the Espanyol era when he faced a wall and the South Africa tournament, which was his second World Cup.
