Nagatomo: Japan goes Yuto crazy

MILAN - All wrapped up in the emotion of the event and the applause he had been given, Nagatomo opened his heart to the 60 or so Japanese journalists with press accreditation for Inter v Roma, after making his Nerazzurri debut. The sports world in Japan woke up this morning to the sound of Yuto's words about the night he will never forget.

"My heart was pounding as I stepped onto the pitch..." "I'm so happy. Maicon was my idol; now I'm playing alongside him." "Even when I was on the bench I was really concentrating on the game. I was ready to come on at any moment. I tried to convey my enthusiasm and passion to Leonardo. He was so helpful to me before I went on and after the game: he gave me lots of advice and then he congratulated me." "I played without fear and tried to make myself useful in attack. I've only trained a couple of times with my team-mates so we can certainly work on our understanding but the atmosphere is incredible. Everyone at Inter has welcomed me with open arms." "I had some wonderful experiences at Cesena but the San Siro is unique."

That is the pick of what Nagatomo said to the Japanese press, which gave ample space to the Asian Cup winner's debut in one of world football's most important stadiums. The papers enthused about his runs down the left wing, his crosses and the applause he received from the Inter fans - whom he has already won over.

Thank you for your warm welcome.
Someone pasted URL of this forum to Japanese soccer forum,
so lot of Yuto fan come here now.

BTW, ordinary Japanese is shy and not good at English (including me),
therefore they read only , I guess.


Japanese fans are very proud of his joining to the brilliant football club, Inter.
Yuto is one of the best Asian football player,
I hope Yuto's performance will be very brilliant.

Welcome buddy Yuto fans are warmly welcomed here unlike the Palmdev delusional followers!!

He looked okay in the few minutes he got. Need to see him from the start though, 10 man roma in the final minutes is hard to judge anything on.

Maybe a start against fiorentina, i dont think a start against krasic in the juventus game is likely.

I am glad with his reaction, the man is down to earth, hard working, enthusiasm, easy going and skillful as well...
he is still young and can grow here.
he's pretty much our 1st Asian here.. (aside from the Turkish) , so I truly wish him to excel and pray he could become close to Roberto Carlos. L

My english is also rather crappy. The most important thing is that you post confidently to convey opinions...
by time, people will understand it.. People are quite welcoming here.. I am sure it will be very nice to have new members from japan here..

 

[CafeCordoba]

Hahaha, Naga is already my favourite player even he hasn't done anything on the pitch yet.

 

[cuckooc]

He really runs like "Mirror Image" of Maicon. Finally, Inter have someone who can make bombarding run on the left flank since the left of Maxwell. Inter has one more offensive tactical options with Nagatomo on the left now.

I am looking forward to seeing how Yuto defenses Robben in the CL If he is given the chance to play.

 

[mozetic8]

I like him alot but he needs to prove his def skills vs taller and stronger opponents. He has shown he is fast, determinant , agile, good crosses, tireless thats good for attack. In worst case he is a exelent late sub if we are losing or tie when opposition is tired to make an extra chance.

All in deal well done as far I see him playing

 

[il Biscione 84]

Lol this Naga vs Matrix thing is still going on

 

[Luka]

I like him alot but he needs to prove his def skills vs taller and stronger opponents.

I don't think stronger will be an issue as much as "taller".

But the good thing, is that usually wingers ain't either tall, nor strong. Playing against players like Ibrahimovic would deffinetly be a problem, but like I've said, usually the main skill of wingers, is their physical/dribbling abbilities. Not that they are strong/tall.

Overaly, he looks very strong on his feet. Despite being short, I don't think it is easy to push him around.

ps. Yuto said that Ibrahimovic was switched on his side, when Cesena played Milan. Didn't work though much I think, cause Cesena still won

 

[Cro Nerazzurro]

already won by Naga Looks a good guy and is definetley type of player we need.
I love japan and kroean players as they always work hard and are not scared of anyone, great move it was and I hope he makes impact

Well i have great respect for you, i don't post much because of my bad english anyway I didn't say naga is bad but i just wanted to point out he might get into truble when facing krasic(next derby) for example stronger, taller, fast. Maybe I am wrong but even quaresma look's like maradona on youtube. I am just saying lets test his def skills before we jump to a conclusion. Dont get me wrong i like this guy but we need to see a bit more then 20 min to judge.

What bad english? You must be crazy man , you're english is totaly fine.

ps. Thanks for the compliment.

Totaly agree(we need time to fully evaluate how good and if good he is)

But my point was different, that wingers usually ain't as strong/tall as center forwards. You have many "small" fullbacks, world class. Take Lahm for example, or Tremoulinass from Bordeaux. The size is not a problem for them.

I believe it's better to have smaller but quicker and more agile full back, than taller and less mobile, less agile one.

But I see your point, that we need(rightfully so) see how he will do against different wingers. I just believe that it won't be the main issue. I think a test versus players like Messi, or Ribery, or Robben would give us more information on how good defensively he can be.

 

[lonewolf19]

haha. nice to see Matrix and Nagatomo get along. More of this left side mazy run against Juventus would surely win us over.

Ok but jet one the best RW is maicon tal, strong and when he is going on attack we have jv to cover for him...so who is going to cover for naga? And btw he is the exact opoiste of maicon short, slim? I just mean we have to take this in consideration when forming a tactic. But thats leo job so...

 

[alvaro]

Hahahha what a fucking clown we signed.

 

[Luka]

With Cuchu on the left, that's a big problem, and you are totaly right.

Kharja-Motta-Zanetti combo in midfield, would be much better for both of the fullbacks, and overaly for us.

Like I explained in Leonardo thread, the fact we have Cuchu is kinda a curse for Leo at the moment, cause he had to find some place for Cuchu, when he put Motta in his place.

And btw he is the exact opoiste of maicon short, slim? I just mean we have to take this in consideration when forming a tactic. But thats leo job so...
