longy Posted 7 May 2011 Share Posted 7 May 2011 Really pleased for him .. But with Svens love of Oakley and the low probability of dropping wellens and Kingy I see him struggling to get a real look in all season with the potential of maybe signing a few other players .. I hope he has a big part next season, seems a genuine nice bloke and I rate him highly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karljohn Posted 7 May 2011 Share Posted 7 May 2011 I was quick to have a go at Yuki earlier on in the season but since the turn of the year he's put in a quality shift for us, very pleased to see him on the scoresheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangecity23 Posted 7 May 2011 Share Posted 7 May 2011 I Yuki. Works so hard, covers every blade of grass, and his movement is excellent. Deserved his goal today, he's come close on so many occasions this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broughtonblue Posted 7 May 2011 Share Posted 7 May 2011 Just want to say how much I enjoyed seeing Yuki score his first goal today. If any player deserved one today it had to be him, and taken so expertly might I add. It was great to see the fans reaction also. For me Yuki has been outstanding this season. Though some games he has looked lost, he's been an absolute workhorse for us, and his passing, work rate and technique in midfield have been outstanding. So Mr Yuki Abe, take a bow!

zubi Posted 7 May 2011 Author Share Posted 7 May 2011 What's his english like? A friend of mine met him in town once, said he could hardly understand english. But was nice enough to smile and nod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 7 May 2011 Share Posted 7 May 2011 What's his english like? wasnt too bad to be honest, my mate asked him for his tracksuit top and he just stood there and laughed. unwrapped it from his waist then tied it back up, wasnt sure if he could give it away. his translator likes speaking for him though. i told him he was my favourite player to try and get his boots but he just said thank you, so he's getting there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozwin Posted 7 May 2011 Share Posted 7 May 2011 I did French at school for like 5 or 6 years and I still can't speak it. Must be hard as ****, so a goal will be great for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacky Posted 8 May 2011 Share Posted 8 May 2011 What's disappointed me this season is the slacking off, off our players at grounds & on this web-site by our own fans. Certain critisms & moans about players are all about the game but when you get stick like Ricardo had to put with,this isn't right & embarrassing. Early part of the season on this web-site yuki & wellens were being slated & look what happens 1 gets player of the season & the other once he got settled has had a outstanding season. So my end of season moan is to be loyal & supportive to all our players through out the season as players need our positives thoughts & not shit like of our fans have given them. Come on we all support the same side & we all can make sure next season is the best yet for atmosphere both home & away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although when someone is playing poor and a replacement is readily available on the bench you can't help but moan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 8 May 2011 Share Posted 8 May 2011 I did French at school for like 5 or 6 years and I still can't speak it. Must be hard as ****, so a goal will be great for him. pretty much what teblin said. I could speak french (and german) fine when i was learning them at school - then i stopped learning them at school and just forgot how to speak them. Given yuki would still be using english while he's at this club it should be slightly easier than trying to learn it without needing to speak it while out and about.

RowlattsFox Posted 8 May 2011 Share Posted 8 May 2011 I think the guys more than a defensive midfielder, he makes some excellent forward runs and is starting to be seen more and more. Do wish he would get involved in celebrations more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 8 May 2011 Share Posted 8 May 2011 I think Yuki has done really well for us. It must have been difficult to adapt to English football, and the higher degree of physicality in the game.He will have learnt a great deal, and should even better next season. Well done Yuki.

MikeyT Posted 11 May 2011 Share Posted 11 May 2011 Yuki To Put Club Before Country Leicester City midfielder Yuki Abe could be set to put club ahead of country and snub playing for Japan in the Copa America. Japan have been invited to play in the South American championships in Argentina in July, but City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson said Abe might not want to participate in the tournament. Abe has made 40 appearances for City this season since joining from J-League side Urawa Reds Diamonds in August, and he has had to come to terms with the more physical and demanding Championship season. The Copa America will run throughout July, meaning Abe would miss most of City's pre-season preparations and would have very little rest ahead of another gruelling season in England. The 29-year-old has been capped 50 times by Japan but was not selected to play in the Asia Cup in January, but is expected to be called into Alberto Zaccheroni's squad. However, Abe may prefer to have his first pre-season with City, which will include a tournament in Sweden and a lucrative friendly against Real Madrid, and concentrate on establishing himself in Eriksson's squad for the next campaign. "We have to decide together with Yuki (about the Copa America), but I wouldn't think it is something he wants to do," said Eriksson. "After coming from the Japanese league into a tough league like the Championship, he has been fantastic. He is getting better and better. "He has been in competition with Matt Oakley and, towards the end of the season, Matt started to fly. He was in very good form. "But we need at least two players like them, physically-strong players who can sit and hold the midfield. "Yuki has a contract for two more years and is very much in my thoughts." Abe scored his first goal for City in the 4-2 victory against Ipswich Town at the Walkers Stadium on the last day of the season, and Eriksson said he thought the midfielder had now come to terms with the pace of English football. "It is his first year in England," said Eriksson. "He is an all-round player and he has adapted to the pace of English football. "In England, if you are a midfielder you have to have few touches and move the ball on, or the opposition are there to take it. In the beginning they did that but he has adapted well. I think he has a very good future in England with us." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
