You don't drink coffee so late during the day.Right.
That's why you're... Wow. Yeah.
Shouldn't you be drinking it more, like, later?
Because you want to get the full effect of...Right?
I think so. Okay.
Maybe drinking it, like, I don't know, like...
Before the... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Would it be much better?

Oh, yeah.
First match for the tournament, right? Yes.
32 countries have all set now. Yes.
Man. This is going to be the World Cup.
Yeah, that's right. Japan versus Brazil. Yeah.
I can't imagine, like, we're facing Brazil. Oh,yeah?
It's always Brazil, like, in Captain Tsubasa.
In, you know, any football mangas in Japan,
it's always Brazil that, you know, the final game.
It's like the final boss. Yeah, final boss.
Oh, really? Okay. It's always Brazil.
Okay, okay. Yeah.
I mean, I heard Kubo-san is not going to be ableto join.
Yes. I mean, you should be worried about that,right?
Getting lots of injured players out here.
Honestly, yeah.
I think four or five players that are missing.
Yeah, right. The key players.
Yeah, that's sad. Yeah.
Yeah.
But how are you feeling, man? How are you feelingabout Brazil?
I mean, we're going to win. We're going to win.
We're going to win. Okay, here we go.
We're going to win this one, yes.
I mean, Neymar, right, the superstar, he's in theteam.
Yes. Obviously. Yes.
He's going to be a very big player.
Yeah, watch out for him.
Even though you said he's not in the very best ofthe best condition, right?
Not at all.
He ate too much.
Yes.
Pretty funny.
Yeah.
注目選手と対戦カード
The thing is, he's been struggling with injury fora very long time.
Okay.
And maybe he ate too much.
He ate too much. Okay.
He played too much.
Yeah, with ladies.
Yeah, yeah.
And drinking too much, maybe.
And I think he's not going to be the starter.
I see. I see.
For this game.
Uh-huh.
Because he's not in the form, in the best form.
Okay.
So I think he's, yeah, I don't know.
He might not be at the beginning.
Maybe not.
The starters.
Maybe not.
But we still got a lot of different otherBrazilian players we have to watch out for, right?
Right.
So Vinícius Junior.
Okay.
That's the guy.
The guy who we should watch out for.
Yes, that's the guy.
What's his position?
He's the left winger.
Gotcha.
It's Mitoma-san's position.
I see.
He's a dribbler. He's fast.
I see.
He can shoot from very far distance.
He's quick. He's skillful.
Good player, I would say, but I don't like him.
Okay.
Not a very good sportsmanship guy?
No, I don't think so.
He's in Real Madrid, which I'm against.
Oh, you don't like them?
No.
Okay.
That's my personal opinion.
Your personal opinion?
Yes.
Sure, sure.
He's the most dangerous player in Brazil.
What is he good at?
Attacking, defending, speed, attacking?
He does attacking.
I see.
He does attack.
Nothing else.
He's a great shooter.
I would say he's a dribbler.
He's a great dribbler.
He's a great dribbler.
I see.
He's very fast. He's very fast with the ball.
I see.
He dribbles. He does some tricks, just like manyof those Brazilians.
Yeah.
Many tricks and everything.
He can shoot, too.
Okay.
From a long range.
Long distance.
Shoot.
Absolutely got to watch out for him, then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe we're going to have Tomiyasu, the greatestdefender of all time.
Yes.
He's playing in the right side defender.
Okay.
So maybe he's going to face against Vinicius.
Like one-on-one?
Yeah.
Oh!
So that's going to be a very interesting matchup.
That's great.
Very interesting.
If we can shut him out, we're going to win.
I see, I see.
That's the key.
You know, Mr. Shiogai.
塩谷選手のコメントと試合への影響
Yeah.
He's on fire right now on social media.
Yeah, you saw that.
Right, because of what he commented about Brazil.
But one of the reporters was like,
Hey, Mr. Shiogai, what do you think about Brazil?
Your match, your nexus against Brazil.
And he was like, yeah, I mean, eh.
They were good, like, several years ago.
But now, eh.
Japan's pretty good, too.
And now the Brazilians are like, what the fuck,Japan?
Like, what the hell?
All the Japanese are like, you know,
Hey, man, like, have a little respect, man.
What do you think about that?
No, I love that.
You love that, yeah.
I love that.
That's how it should be, you know.
You like that spirit.
I like that spirit, you know.
It's the bottle, it's the...
I like the spirit.
Okay, okay.
I heard a clip saying that because of what Shiogaisaid,
it got Brazilians mad.
And now they're going to come at us, like, muchmore, like,
with anger and emotion.
Yeah.
Not a very good stance for Japan to be in.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
But as a show, as an entertainment, I love that.
Oh, yeah.
That's how it should be, you know.
Amazing.
Inside the field, outside the field.
Yeah.
It's the World Cup.
So, what would you...
試合展開の予測とキーポイント
If you had to make a prediction on the outcome,
what would you do?
You mean the score?
Yeah.
4-3, Japan.
4-3, that's a lot of points.
Yeah.
That's a lot of points, both Brazil and Japan.
I think it's going to be something like that.
Like, very attacking.
Like, Brazil is a very attacking team.
Like, they have very nice defending players,
but they are...
Basically, they love attacking.
They love attacking, okay.
So...
And it's...
I think it's very, very hard for Japan.
Even though we have very good defenders,
including Tomiyasu and Ito,
it's still a bit difficult to keep it, like, zero.
Hmm.
So, I think we may...
I see.
We may get some goals.
But at the same time, I feel like,
as they, as the Brazilians, like, coming andattacking us,
that means we have a lot of spaces behind them.
So, I think...
So, on...
So, Vinicius, he's going to play the left side ofBrazil.
Yeah.
So, that means the right side of Japan.
So, we have Ito Junya on our right hand,
or maybe the one.
They're good at attacking.
They're good at dribbling, shooting, andeverything.
So, Vinicius doesn't do that much defense.
He's more, like, offensive, just like Messi.
So, I think we have, like, plenty of space behindVinicius.
Hmm.
So, I don't want Ito attacking through that point.
I see.
It's going to be, like, attacking, attacking.
Wow, that's going to be...
Punch, and punch against game.
Very interesting.
That's my guessing.
Very interesting.
Yeah.
So, like, you find a little bit of a gap
in between Mr. Vinicius' play.
Yes.
Sort of, like, capture that gap.
Yeah.
And then go all in on the counter.
Yes.
Exactly.
Yes.
Very interesting.
So, the right side, Japanese right side,
will be the key area.
I see.
Tonight.
Okay.
In attacking and defense.
Okay.
Very exciting.
Very exciting.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
All right.
We'll see what happens.
Yeah.
Can't wait.
Can't wait.
Can't wait.
All right, thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
