冨安選手の神業的守備解説
Are you good?
Okay, it's good.
You know when you hit your funny bone orsomething?
For like five seconds, it's super painful.
But after five seconds, it's like...
It's like really gone.
Go back.
That happens a lot.
Good, good, good.
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast, guys.
How's it going?
Yeah.
So we found a little clip.
Right, we found the clip that we were looking forlast time.
Yeah.
What do you think?
I mean, yeah, true.
It's very great.
Very good defensive play.
Yeah.
Is it worth ten minutes of...
Can you...
What's there to say for ten minutes?
So I think it's difficult to explain to somebodythat hasn't played football.
So I think that's what Honda-san was saying.
It's not something like...
It's more like...
It's difficult to explain.
I see.
So this is from Konakiku.
So this scene, this is Tomiyasu.
And that one is going to be shoot or pass or dosomething.
This is the first defender.
And then...
So he tackles this guy.
The first defender?
First defender, yes.
Tomiyasu is behind.
Tomiyasu is behind watching.
So he needs to cover the next motion, next action.
Okay.
And then...
So now it's his turn.
Now it's Tomiyasu versus the kicker.
Yes, he has to block him.
Okay.
But you have this guy too, the Tunisia player.
So if Tomiyasu goes toward the dribbler,
it's easy for him to pass to that guy and he canshoot free.
I see. So it's like a 2-on-1 right now scenario.
Yes, exactly.
So he's now in the 2-on-1.
So at the same time, he's watching this guy andwatching this guy at the same time.
And the guy, his angle...
He can...
He's preparing to...
He can run to this guy.
Okay.
So for him...
The kicker?
Yes, kicker. He doesn't want to pass to that guy
because you can see Tomiyasu is ready for thisguy.
I see.
So now his only option is to go and just shoot.
Okay.
And then, it's difficult but
how he approaches to the dribbler,
the speed, the stepping...
Look at this step.
If I were Tomiyasu, I would just go to thatdribbler.
Okay.
But if you do that, he can trick you and justshoot.
Okay.
But what he does is just approach,
but stays.
And then...
Like a...
Like a delete all the angles.
That's what he does.
Okay.
So right now, he has only one option.
That's great.
Look at that side step.
Just a little...
This...
It's not a good clip.
It's just zooming in.
So it's difficult to see.
But this little...
The way he moves towards the ball...
Look at that.
As a defensive move.
The way he does it is amazing.
The steps that he's taking.
He's not just simply running.
He's more like doing it in a way
where he could adjust to every scenario.
That could happen.
And also, he covers his arm.
So that he doesn't get a hand.
Yeah.
He was seeing everything on the pitch.
On the spot.
And he did the best selections.
The best logical move.
Yeah.
He watches.
And then when his turn comes,
he approaches to the defender.
But not straightforward.
He just approaches.
And then...
Just one side stepping.
And covering all the angles.
And at the same time,
I think he's seeing the other guy.
As well.
So he can do that way.
He can run this way.
But also, he's seeing the main guy.
And then he blocks.
So...
Yeah.
Like Matanuki...
Just like Ueda Ayase's goal,
Matanuki is one option
that he has to think about.
He did everything.
He did like every...
He did like three rolls
in one moment.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's something you would not know.
Yeah.
Without an explanation
by an expert.
Yeah.
And also what's difficult is
he was here from the beginning.
I think he was this one.
Yeah.
So it's difficult.
Especially when you
do some Seriai.
And then
immediately do defensive things.
It's like you're seeing that
angle and then you just
turn this angle.
It's completely different.
But he was very calm.
And he saw everything.
And he did like three rolls.
So he defended
everything by himself.
Wow.
That's incredible.
That's incredible.
If he goes straight forward and do some tacklesmaybe,
then the dribbler
will pass through
or
get a foul and a penalty.
But he didn't do that.
It's great.
That's incredible.
So it's good that Honda-san
highlighted this scene.
Yeah.
And I think the first
defender was also great.
He did a great job.
He did a great job as well?
Yeah.
But because of that action,
Tomiyasu could see
the situation
carefully and calm.
Wow.
Yeah.
It feels like you're looking at it
from a whole different angle
than I am.
You really are.
It must have been very interesting to see theWorld Cup
if you have that much angle.
Yeah.
Tomiyasu was honestly,
to me,
he did perfectly
without zero errors.
Wow.
After the match, on the interview,
he said,
I made a few mistakes.
Oh really?
What?
It's the level too high
that I don't even understand.
Okay.
On what did you do a mistake?
He was so humble.
Very humble.
He was so perfectionist,
I would say.
And humble.
He's a great guy.
It's crazy.
After that performance,
he still said,
I made a few mistakes.
Really?
Japanese beauty.
It's crazy.
I gotta watch out for him
on the next match as well.
You should, you should.
He'll be in the starting eleven?
I think so.
But he's been injured
for a long time.
And he's just recovered
from the injury.
So I'm not sure
if he's going to be
the starting eleven
or not.
I think it's the injury situation.
I see, I see.
But if he's okay,
he should be the starter.
He should be.
I'll be excited for that.
Yes, yes, yes.
Definitely.
You should watch him.
I'll watch out for him.
日本人サポーターのゴミ拾いと「家でやれ」論争
Let's talk about a little bit of
non-technical
side of World Cup right now.
Yeah, let's talk about that.
You know how the world
is talking about
the Japanese fans
being very respectful
to the stadium.
They clean up things.
And everybody was like, wow.
Very respectful
people. Very great.
And you know that there's a new
trend going on right now?
What's that?
Do it at house?
Yeah, I saw that too.
Do it at home.
So the joke
is like, even though
all these Japanese fans
are cleaning up
at the stadium
after themselves
and they seem very
respectful and very
well-mannered.
But in reality, at home
they don't do
shit.
They're like
their
wife, their wives
are yelling at them.
And then all the foreign
people, they're like, I knew it!
I knew the Japanese were fake!
I knew that was a show!
You know, it's really
you know
as someone who's really
who loves Japan
it's very complicated how
this is really
I have a mixed feeling about this
you know, about this reaction.
Because not all of it is
a lie, you know.
Japan's really
respectful to
other cultures and
these sport events
and cleaning up after themselves
is, right, we tend to have
a better manner, I would say.
At least than America.
Yeah.
But it was true, I feel like
that
the stadium cleaning thing
has become a little bit like
overheated.
And I do feel like Japan's
Japan's, it's great!
It's a great thing. But like, it's not
their most natural state
I would say.
They don't do it
on all stadiums.
For example, like J-League
in Japan, maybe they don't
they don't bring that bag.
They don't bring the bag.
That bag thing, is that new?
Who's doing all that stuff?
I honestly don't know who does that.
Everyone's carrying the same blue bag.
I think it's a
I don't know who did that. Is it a campaign
or something maybe?
I don't know.
If it's a campaign
then it's a whole
different story.
You know,
because I was getting the vibe of
people are just doing it a little bit more
than how they would do it naturally.
So if the world is looking
at it as if that was the natural thing for theJapanese
people to do, then I guess that's like
overrating the Japanese.
So like, uh...
And now we got to the point where
you guys don't do shit at home!
We're getting criticized for that.
And that's like overdoing it too much as well.
So like, I have a mixed feeling about this.
True. I mean, both
have reasons.
I mean, both
make sense to me.
We understand both sides, right?
But you know, if that
blue bag thing is a campaign
then my stance would
change a little bit.
It's easier to
go on the Japanese side.
Like, it was a campaign!
Yeah, that makes more sense.
Because I was watching the whole scene
and like,
what is it?
What's that plastic bag
everybody's bringing into the studio?
Is it like
somebody does that?
Yeah.
Is it an official thing?
Yeah, is it selling in the studio?
Yeah.
But everyone had it. Everyone was carrying it.
Yeah, I don't know the truth
but
yeah.
It looked like an organized
thing, no?
It did look like an organized thing.
Yeah.
異文化交流と日本人サポーターの熱狂
Yeah.
But for yesterday's game,
I loved how they
Mexican people
were like
enjoying the game
and cheering Japan
Yeah.
And like, becoming friends and
supporting all together.
I loved that vibe.
The commentator, not Honda-san,
but the guy next to Honda-san
Yeah, the announcer.
They were like
Mexico is a new country
so they were having a lot of fun.
Yeah, I mean, they were very much enjoying thegame
even though 4-0 is a tough
spot to be in.
They were still very happy. They looked happy.
Yeah.
They were wearing a Mexico national team jersey.
The green one.
And they were cheering Japan.
Like, oh.
How does that make sense?
But they were enjoying the moment.
They were enjoying the moment no matter what theoutcome was.
It was a great spirit to be in.
It was very nice.
I saw some clips on YouTube that
Japanese fans go to
Mexico
like Monterey, I guess.
And then did some little
vlog on the game day.
And everybody was
very gentle, very nice
and uplifting and like
amigo vibe.
I mean, I was very...
I love Mexico now.
They are very open
and welcoming
people.
I love that.
Where is Tunisia?
Tunisia is like in Africa.
In...
But why are the supporters all
Mexican?
Oh, because the game was held in Mexico.
Oh, I see.
I was a little bit like, why is this happening?
Okay, I see.
It was in Mexico.
I see. I got you.
So, I think they are like local people.
So, I guess
there weren't much Tunisia people.
Well,
at least it looked
like that.
I heard many Japanese
like a chanto, Japanese
singing.
So,
I think all the Mexicans were like
became like Japanese side.
Oh, yeah.
It looked like Nippon Performer.
It did.
So,
I see.
Did you see the clip where
the local American Walmart was filled by
Japanese people?
So,
there was a Walmart.
I guess fairly close to the stadium.
And in that stadium
had the Japanese match.
Against New London.
And then that Walmart was filled
with Japanese people wearing like the blue.
Oh, yeah.
And that was like world's most
Chianui Walmart.
So true.
That's kind of true.
It was a really
you know, it was something
that I've never seen before.
It was like 10 Japanese
people and then white.
The one black lady.
That's it.
And then the background was Walmart.
So, it was like, whoa.
Never seen this before.
Yeah.
That's funny.
You see the
interview?
Which one?
Of an American TV
program.
And this woman
was like interviewing one Japanese
fan and then the Japanese
was like
めっちゃくせつよい。
Never seen it?
The Japanese supporter
was くせつよい?
Not the interviewer.
The Japanese supporter
was so くせつよい that the
American reporter was like
she didn't know what to do.
That's usually the opposite, right?
But, yeah.
That's very rare.
This one?
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
I cannot
speak English but
I'm excited!
I love it! Let's go!
It's lit.
What were you looking at?
Excuse me.
They didn't get the whole clip.
It was like a three minute clip.
But you understand the vibe, right?
He's got his own pace.
I love that. It's like Kawasaki.
Kawa English.
The baseball player.
Exactly like him.
And it was like three minutes long.
And he kept on going
with that same energy.
And you can tell
that the reporter
wanted to end the section.
She continuously kept on saying
Alright, thank you.
Thank you so much, sir.
We hope you and the Japanese team
have very good luck. Thank you so much.
And then the supporter was like
Yes! One more thing!
In my hometown!
She was like
Okay, I understand.
Okay!
It was something new.
That's new. Very new.
Very new.
I love that vibe.
Very good vibe.
I love how
his English was
clear. Very clear.
Only using the words he knew.
He didn't give a fuck
what the reporter was talking about.
He just had his own
message to tell to the world.
That's great.
Thanks for sitting, guys.
Thank you. Bye-bye.
