Interesting post from Shinji himself, poorly translated though

 

My family is a bride and two sons.
This year it will be six years since I started my overseas life, but my family will think about me at any moment and choose to live together.

At first, children were still young, so naturally my family thought that they were together and there was never hesitating to worry about that.
But the reality was not so easy. Living with a family abroad who started suddenly, because I have something to do with the team and where I am, it is good for the bride and children who followed me, suddenly abroad, nothing has any information , I think that there was unbelievable stress, that selfishness is different from Japan, not being able to communicate with words.
Especially my bride has burdened a big burden.

Because I am dying for practice and games, sometimes I can not see my family properly.
Nevertheless, as long as I can find the time, I have been trying to speak to my bride.
"Are you getting along well?"

But the bride does not make me feel any stress.
Even in my family, in my life, even in my life, I always smile gently.

After a while, you will find a slight shadow on the smile of the bride. I felt like I got much to lose.
It is useless to have two people talk at such times. The two little sons were allowed to go to the local kindergarten in Germany. There were times when the words were not understood and the emotional instability became instant.
"This rare experience can not be done and it must be a good experience for children."
What I think selfishly is the ego of the parent. But I was beaten up when I saw a child who fell down.

I know only about football, but surely I am with football.
Because it is such a time, you have to worry about it and need to answer. I have to discuss a lot and overcome my overseas life with my family.

I have lived apart from my family for about a year. At the timing when the first son goes to elementary school, I thought about education, we decided to discuss with married couple and to return the bride and the two sons to Japan. I thought it was not easy, after seriously worrying, I decided to talk a lot and decide to be a bride.

Six months after I began to live apart from my family, I moved to Leicester.
I felt like transferring my wish desire and becoming a feeling that my heart was pocky and pierced in my mind while continuing to participate in the Premier League. I gradually understand. The hole grows bigger and bigger ....

I was made to feel relieved at that time.

Dreams for soccer players, because they were able to play an active role in the Premier League, if they do not have a family there will be a joy and a sense of achievement halved. Yes, I need a family that can be pleased with myself now.

I need a smile of my bride and my son.

And I immediately contacted my wife. "I want to stay with my family."
My daughter and my sons finally started to become familiar with the new life in Japan.
However, they said that they wanted to live together, to be living together, to be living together, in a reply.
Again, I realized that this was my family, and I think that I could have overcome one challenge as a family.

About my family, all of my thoughts

There is no end to the battle.

In the remaining time, I have to keep pushing the result. Practice, the days of the game will not change.
A family who came back to England, but I thought about my condition and set up a new place where I can come and go.
I borrow a room to sleep in Leicester City and devote myself to practice and games. My wife and sons are trying hard at home to face their lives. I go back and forth between here and there as I go to the office.
But it is a close place in the same Britain. When you want to meet, there is no sense of security that your family will be at a distance that you can meet soon, there is nothing better than this.

I realize I am happy. I can not hope for anything more.
And it is also a position I have to tell my sons what is most important as a father.
Happiness to be near your family pours energy and afford to me.

I guess it is probably because I experienced lonely single appointment in that year. And now I think like this.
Whether it is with the family is the best secret for a soccer player to keep track of his dreams.

I agree with you like you said if he could just stay on his feet you might see a bit more quality from him 

I don't know whether he is constantly off balance or actively looking for fouls all the time. It's very frustrating.  

 

He will certainly be useful for us for the next 6 months, even though it will likely only be from the bench, if we do sign Ramirez. 

 

After that, then could be a good time to cash in on him and Ulloa.

I can only offer appreciation, but no approval.

The phrase in all the sports papers this morning is, of course 'diving header', or as they say here, 'daibingu heddo' (ダイビングヘッド).

That face you see at the bottom of the page is Shinji's brother, Takahiro, who says 'When that goal went in the whole family leapt out of our seats. That smile was my little brother all over. As usual he's been late replying to my messages but he did sort out all our tickets for the game.' 

 

I think we need a close-up of Takahiro san.

Here's another close-up from the picture above. Is that a smile already forming on Shinji's face, a split second after making contact?  Wonderful 'you've been Shinji-ed' face from the defender too.

Shinji had said before the game that he needed a goal so he could 'escape from a tunnel' (he'd been stuck on 49 for a while and he'd lost his place in the team). How appropriate that it was a full length dive that propelled him out of the tunnel. Here's another front page:

Love Shinji. He is a top professional and obviously loves and appreciates the game. 

 

I just wish he had a little more quality on the ball, and could stay on his feet! 

 

One of my favourite players, but he really frustrates me because of this, arguably more than any other player lol.

 

He's one of those players that other team's fans don't get, or know nothing about. No question we're a better side when he plays though.

This was heard several times last night:

There's been some Japanese fans in front of me in the Kop sometimes, that's the song they must of sang. Although when I hear it in the ground it sounds to me like their shouting 'Cayko, Cayko, Okazaki, Cayko, Cayko, Okazaki Caaaykooo.'

A cheeky bid for Lanzini?

Having read that I'm none the wiser, is Okazaki's wife and kids back in Japan or are they in England with him?
