◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Haruka Amano (49) of Kawasaki F, who led the retirement ceremony, said: “The important thing was not to solve it with money and make it look flashy, but to solidify it with a person full of love.” ..
J2 and J3 just finished the season the day before, but the assembled club OBs were 36 people, including Tokyo V / FW Okubo and Niigata FW Chung Daiyo. Many clubs held a dissolution ceremony this morning, which is an “impossible number”. Mr. Amano has been planning this day for 10 years, saving photos for the ceremony and writing ideas. The preparation period was short, about a month and a half after the retirement announcement, and 70% of the concept was realized, but I pictured Nakamura, who was pleased that “Kengo would say, ‘It’s over the top.’
◆ Kengo Nakamura Born on October 31, 1980 (Showa 55) in the city of Kodaira, Tokyo. He entered Kawasaki F in 2003 after going through Kurume High School (currently Higashi Kurume General High School). He received the J League Best XI on 8 occasions. He was first chosen to represent Japan in 2006 and participated in the 2010 South Africa World Cup as the representative of Japan. A total of 68 A internationals, 6 goals. 175 cm, 66 kg. The family is a wife and a man and two women. My favorite word is “thank you, inspirational”. Blood type O.
▽ Director Takashi Sekizuka “I was appointed director in 2004, and the player who shone a lot in the camp is Kengo. I thought I could have O legs with a cat on my back and I could have a season, but I had the skill and judgment. a player. I started to volunteer together and grew steadily with absorption and understanding, and along with that, the team got stronger. I want Kawasaki City, Frontale and Japanese football to move forward. “
▽ Kawasaki F ・ FW Kobayashi When we won the championship for the first time in 2017, we hugged and were happy. There is absolutely no excitement beyond that in the future. Without Kengo, Kengo was so big that I could tell he wouldn’t be there now.
▽ Tokyo V ・ FW Okubo “I thought I was going to retire, but when I received a report from Kengo-san, I felt very lonely and had a hole in my heart. Since I transferred to 2013, soccer has become a It’s really fun and Kengo’s pass is a great treasure. I remember saying, “If I quit football, I’d like to debut as a singer or start living on the streets first.” Think about the lyrics to your debut song. I want to be a little more active. Let’s keep cheering on Japanese football and J together. “
▽ Director Ken Sato of Chuo University “I wonder what would have happened if I had recommended a team other than Frontale. It would have been a huge leap in 18 years. I think it was difficult, but they loved me and encouraged me a lot. Honestly, no I thought he would be a player who would win the league. I can’t wait to see Kengo’s life in the future. I want to support him while I hope he’s on the bench. “
▽ Niigata FW Chung Daiyo “No matter which club you go to, a great player who gets asked” Is Kengo Nakamura ridiculous? “After the salute. I am proud to compete together for four and a half years. I think there were several offers, but I really admire the tough diamond intentions that put all my strength in the lead. At Kawasaki, which is said to be a sterile place for soccer, it’s great to go from a meager audience to what is said to be J’s strongest and quit. I think it’s going to be a movie. Congratulations to the irresistible, clear, bright curtain. “
