Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hey guys.
Hello.
How's it going?
What do you think if I'm wearing this on a street?
I wouldn't think of anything, man.
Especially tonight.
Yeah, especially tonight, yeah.
Because it's tonight, right?
I think a lot of people would be wearing, youknow, public viewing and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I think especially tonight.
Great. Good, good, good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thanks.
Are you planning to go out?
Um, no.
No, at my house.
Okay, okay, okay.
What do you, what do you think like on usual days?
On usual days?
Like the World Cup season?
I would, I would stay away from that.
I would stay away from that.
Like every day, right?
Yeah, every day.
Like you're talking like everyday shit.
Just random December.
Random December.
Random October.
Okay, random October on your way to get yourmedicine.
Yeah.
You're gonna wear that?
Right.
I would stay away.
I mean, you know, you're, it's not a problem.
Not a problem, but like, yeah, I mean, okay.
You're gonna be the type that doesn't care aboutfashion now.
I see.
He's wearing the sport jersey, like.
Right.
The type that doesn't care about the, you know,much of the trend and fashion and stuff like that.
I see, I see, I see.
But it's nothing, nothing, you know.
Like strange or.
Nothing strange.
To.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't think.
Stringy or whatever.
No, you're not anyone weird.
Okay, okay, okay.
No, you're not anyone weird.
Because I have some shirts, like some footballshirts.
But I, I've always been thinking it's, it might bea bit strange if I wear this, like,
for example, like this building.
And that's why I've been wearing this out my, onlyin my house, in my room.
Ah, okay, okay.
But I feel like now, like, this is the, the righttiming.
Probably.
The best time, probably.
The best timing, yeah.
Best time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, it was true, you know, I was, I was inShibuya before coming here.
Okay, right.
And I didn't see anybody wearing a jersey,actually.
Okay.
Surprisingly.
Probably at night.
Yeah.
At night, the jersey people would start to come inand, you know, shine.
Not now, though.
Yeah, true.
I see just one guy with the blue shirt at thestation.
Ah, that's great.
But that's the only one guy.
So.
Looks very colorful as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Think about it.
It's cute.
Very colorful.
It's cute, it's cute, yeah.
But I have, like, you know, like a Ronaldinhoshirt.
You know, Nakata Hidetoshi?
Nakata, like, old Japanese shirt.
03:01
Ah, uniforms.
Things.
Okay.
I don't have many of them, but some, maybe four orfive.
And I love them.
Okay.
But I, you know, I've always been choosing not towear them outside, so.
But you want to wear them.
You want to?
Or do you like to just collect?
You know how sneaker people just love collectinginstead of, like, actually wearing it on them,right?
Mm-hmm.
I love wearing them.
I love wearing them, too.
But only when I see the football matches,actually.
To get the spirit up.
Yeah.
Just want, you know, have myself exciting more,excited more.
Yeah, makes sense.
Yeah.
Makes sense.
But the shirt itself is, some of them are cute, asin.
Like, shirt, as in fashion.
So maybe I can wear them, but I don't know.
I don't know how.
But, you know, at the end of the day, you shouldwear what you want to wear, right?
Yeah.
At the end of the day.
Right.
Yeah.
I wear some, not these, like, football shirt,like, game shirts, but like a hoodie.
Okay.
Like some, like a jacket things.
And sometimes I wear them, because to me it looks.
Normal.
Nothing at all.
Yeah.
With just one logo on it.
Okay, okay.
It doesn't make any.
It just looks like a, just a casual, randomsweater.
Yeah, just like Adidas, you know, those things.
Yeah.
But, you know, like, names on, like, numbers onand everything.
That's a full-on.
It's a kit.
A full-on.
That's a jersey.
Yeah, so, so yeah.
That feels like today, at least, I'm allowed towear this.
Yeah, definitely tonight.
You're definitely allowed to wear it.
So that's why I'm pulling this out.
I feel like you're rather more on the correctside, you know.
Oh, yeah.
People who aren't celebrating World Cup.
I think you have more, like, you know, power.
Oh, I see.
I think you're more on the justice side.
I see.
Like, as a healthy Japanese citizen.
True.
You're more, like, you're more correct.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
True.
It's like, it's like it's Christmas is coming andyou're wearing some sweater.
Yeah, like Christmas sweater.
Yeah.
Right, that's right.
Right.
You're, you're very healthy.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, culturally.
Good, good, good.
Yeah.
Good.
Lovely.
Yeah, and tonight they're gonna wear this.
That's right, right.
And who was the player?
This one?
This is Endo.
Mr. Endo.
Yes.
Who, he's not here anymore.
Who's wearing number six right now?
No.
Oh, nobody's wearing?
Oh, I don't think, nobody.
That's his number.
Wow.
Can anybody get, like, a random number if theywant to?
06:02
It said it's Adidas, the maker, Adidas.
It's making the number.
Oh, so Adidas just randomly chooses a number?
The room order.
Room order?
Yeah, I mean, because number seven, number 10,number 10, number 11, you know, they have,
like, star numbers.
Yeah.
So I don't know who ultimately decides thosethings, but it said the Adidas make decisions
on who is going to wear which numbers.
Oh.
Like, putting number seven on Mitoma.
Okay.
Because he's the star player.
Yeah.
Well, what's the most valuable number?
I think it's 10, 7.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
What's the difference between 10 and 7?
So, it's actually, it's, so, very long time ago,it used to be, it's based on the positions.
Okay.
Number one goalkeeper, like a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
So the striker, 11.
So that's how it originally was.
So number 11 is the very attacking, the striker.
Okay.
Number nine, attacker.
And number 10 is like a midfielder, but, like,attacking side.
And number eight and number seven is, like, morelike a defensive midfielder.
Okay.
So that's the original meaning.
I see.
And, yeah.
But it's, well, yeah, that's the original meaning.
So, for example, like Messi wearing number 10.
Okay.
Vinicius, the guy wearing number seven, I thinkthat number seven.
Like David Beckham, he was wearing number seven.
Cristiano Ronaldo, number seven.
So those, like, attacking star players tend towear those good numbers.
Okay.
Historically, it was just a coincidence that theywere number seven,
but it just so happened that superstars were allnumber sevens.
Yeah.
Because of the position, maybe.
Yes, exactly.
Gets a lot of spotlight.
That's why number seven became a brand.
Exactly.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I see.
So now everybody, like, when I was a kid, I wantedto have number 10, number, I don't know, eight.
Okay.
Just, like, the player that I like.
Now it's not, now it's just the Adidas people justrandomly choosing who should be the star
player for this season and chooses whoever.
It's said so.
Oh my god.
But we don't know.
Okay.
It's, so for, like, a high school, in high school,it's the coach who decides the numbers.
In, I don't know, like, professional club teams,it's the coach, I think, who decides the numbers.
09:04
Okay.
So I think, I don't know, for the national team,maybe the coach.
Oh, okay.
But there are big impact of the shirt maker.
That's true.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
Right.
If any, I mean, that's, like, the only thing thatmatters, no?
Yeah.
Like, it doesn't, it really doesn't matter.
Yeah.
It doesn't affect the strategy or how they play onthe field, right?
The numbers don't really matter.
Okay.
Nothing at all.
Yeah.
It's just the numbers.
Yeah, Adidas is thinking about all that.
Yeah.
You can wear, I don't know, like, 42.
If you want.
Yeah, 77 if you want to.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Maybe you don't even have to have a number.
You have to.
You have to have a number.
Because the referee is, like, seeing the numbersand taking notes.
Oh, gotcha.
Number seven-year-old card.
I see.
I see.
I understand.
That makes sense.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
