In 2002, when Nakamura was 24, he moved abroad for the first time with Reggina. In 2005, he moved to Scotland’s prestigious Celtic, where he won the league title three times in a row and won individual titles such as League MVP and Goal of the Year.
Looking back on this period, Nakamura said, “That’s what a successful experience is like. The director was the same, the family was the same, everything went well. Instead, he learned Japanese.”
Among them, in the 2006/07 UEFA Champions League, the two free kicks scored against Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world, have been passed down as legends. Mr Yabe said: ‘I prefer the first shot’, pointing to the FK which was scuttled at Old Trafford on 13 September 2006. It fires fairly early,” his analysis reveals.
Then Nakamura commented, “As expected” and revealed his intention at the time.
“I thought the opponent would never recognize me, so if I kicked ‘If-no’, they would definitely read it. That’s why I purposely kicked the run-up short and early, so I wonder if Zaha (who was against the wall) did not fly or did not see (PO) Van der Sar”.
Nakamura continued, “Isn’t it amazing, Mr. Yabe, who sees right through it?”
In addition, he talks about the Espanyol era when he faced a block and the South African tournament, which was his second World Cup.
