He retired in 2016 and is now manager of the Scottish team. His position was center midfielder. And he won many titles as a Liverpool`s captain. His greatest characteristic are his powerful right foot that shoots like a cannon and his storong body. He attracted many fans with shoot like cannons. I am one of them. When I saw his football the first time, I became his fan. I had been wanted to see him play during his carea, so I regret very much now. If I had been a football club manager, I would have chosen him as  team captain and starting member.

Please watch this video. If I was the goalkeeper of the opponents, I couldn't do anything. From Liverpool fans, the nickname of the 『red doragon』from a powerful body and shoots like cannons. As I said, he is manager of Scottish team. I want him to manage Liverpool and lead the team someday. And I want him to make football more exciting.

Explosive acceleration force leaves opponent's defender. He has great shoot, trap,high precision kicking force. Furthermore, the skill doesn't fall even if it top speed. I think he is only who can play a thing like this. I have a lot of favorite soccer players, but among them are the top.

Please watch this video.  You can watch his playing style in this video. I have the first impression in his play. The game is Japan vs Belgium of the Russian World Cup in 2018. Japan had it's best result 16 in the final this tournament. It is Belgium that won Japan in the best 16. Hazard is great in this game to. Now, he has amazing news. The famous Real Madrid will has get to him. But his transfer money is said to be 126 billion yen. We can't imagine 126 billion yen. It is a scary word. Anyway, I think he will continue to make the football world more interesting. I'm glad to you get interested in him on this blog.

The best football player -Cristiano Ronaldo-

This is Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal and he is 33 years old. He belongs to Juventus in Serie A of the Italian league. When speaking of famous star football players in the world, Lionel Messi,  Neynar and Cristiano Ronaldo will come to mind. I especially think he is  the best football player. He has played for many famous club teams, such as, Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus. When he belonged to Real Madrid, he was most impressive because all of his plays were was the best.

Please watch this video. This video is long, so I recommend watching only his three goals. I especially like his third goal. If I was the goalkeeper of the opponents, I couldn't do anything.  I will introduce his fantastic playstyle as a fooaball player. Simply put, he can get a goal alone. I think that he was born to play football. He is exactly a super star. For European fooaball, there is a year-end yearly player award called "Ballon D'or". He won the award three times. He is 33 years old, but he never goes down. I expect that he will have even better results in the future.

The Future of Japanese football -Ritsu Doan-

This is Ritsu Doan from Japan and he is 20 years old.  He belongs to GroningenFC in Eredivisie of the Nethetlands league. His position is side midfielder. I was especially suprised that he is still 20 years old. And he was chosen to be on the Japanese national team this year. He is exactly genius. I will introduce his play style . First, he can easily dodge opponents with speedy dribbling. And his shoot accuracy is good, penetrating from the left side to the center and getting a fantastic goal.

Please watch this video. This goal is very beautiful. By the way, Do you know famous Japanese players? When speaking of japanese star players, Keisuke Honda and Shinji Kagawa will come to mind. But they have not been chosen for the Japanese national team. Now is a time of generational change. Japanese football of the future is gradually getting brighter. He is interested in playing for many famous strong teams. So many think he will transfer to a strong team during the winter or next summer. I hope that will he will get better and better and lead the Japanese national team in a good direction.

Giant of the impregnable guard- Kalidou Koulibaly-

 

 I will introduce my favorite defender. This is Kalidou Koulibaly from Senegal and he is 27 years old. He belongs to Napoli in Serie A of the Italian league.  His position is centre back. Centre back is the pivot of the defense to set up in the center in front of the goal. He has two main roles. First, he must stop the attack of the opponents. Second, when there is a set play of on his team, the centre back participates in the attack in positively. Therefore, the centre back is a very important position in football.


 I will introduce his great points as a centre back. He is 196 centimeters tall and has a tremendous body. Please watch this video. This goal is his best  goal in my opinion. He got the goal that made use of his powerful body. This game is Napoli vs Juventus of  Serie A in April of this year. Juventus is the strongest team in Serie A. Juventus always wins the chanpionship of Serie A. Napoli is aimost always in second place. This game seemed like a draw. But Koulibaly led his team to victory. Just before the game ended, he had a powerful headshot. I think that was fantastic.  If I was the goalkeeper of the opponents, couldn't my move. I think he is like 『a monster!!』.

Like a Precision Machine -Toni Kroos-

This is Toni Kroos from Germany and he is 28 years old.  He  belongs to Real Madrid in La Liga 1 of the Spanish league. His position is Midfielder.  Midfilder is a very important in football because it effectively puts out the pass at the heart of the team and stops the opponent's attack on deffence. So I will especially intoduce his wonderful playstyle as midfielder. His best point is the his accurate passing. He always has a pass success rate of 90%. He can change the bad situation with his pass. Football fan call him『German metronome』. I think he is  the best midfielder in the foot ball.

Next, he can kick middle shoot and place-kick. Please watch this video.  This game is Germany vs Sweden of the Russian World Cup in 2018. Japan had it's best result 16 in the final this tournament. Unfornately, Germany lost in the group stage. But  Kroos suprised  football's fan. Geamany got a chance of place-kick at the end of the game. However, almost football players get to goal very difficult from this angle. Normally, will raise the cerntering to teammate. But his skill of foot was amazing. He leaded to victory Germany. His football is exactly art.

The Fastest Striker In The World -Gareth Bale-

This is Gareth Bale from Wales. He belongs to Real Madrid at La Liga 1 of Spain. If I became a football club manager, I would choose him as a starting member. There are two reasons. First, he is the fastest dribbler in the football　world. I was especially suprised that he is faster than a scooter. The speed of dribbling is about 37 km. If opponents gives space, nobody can stop him. Second, he has wonderful physical presence. When opponents surround him, his body is like steel and they can't defeat him.   　　　　　　　　  
  Please watch this video.↑ Next, he suprised the world football's fans with this play. This game is the final match of the Spanish Cup in 2014. The game card is Bale's Real Madrid vs Barcelona. These two teams compete for the League of Champion every year. Football fans call Spanish as 『EL・Clasico』when Real Madrid and Barcelona play each other. His goal was decided  just before the end of the match. This game had an even equal score. However, Bale changed the situation. He confirmed the space in front and, started dribbling very fast. He beat the opponents's defender and scored a goal. by scoring this goal, Real Madrid beat Barcelona. As a result, he became a super star in the foot ball world.
