2010 J.League pre-season transfer


Urawa Reds Tulio's course was the heilight of this season's transfer. He has been complaining about Urawa with Volker Finke's developping plan after his contract expires. He decided to join Dragan Stojkovic's Nagoya Grampus. Urawa would rather be down-to-earth than care about name and leave it to Nagoya. Urawa, thanking for Tulio with happy days, goes on building a new style. While, Nagoya can be a big club, or be another "Man City"?

Two international stars came back to Japan.
Inamoto Jun-ichi, spending nine seasons in Europe (Arsenal, Fulham, WBA, Carfiff City, Galatasaray, Frankfurt, and Rennes), finds new job in Kawasaki Frontale.
Ex-Urawa's icon, Ono Shinji returns to his home-town Shimizu. After his second glory with Urawa, he had joined with Vfl Bochum. Two intarnational 30-years-old players put J.League up this season.

In Europe, only Honda Keisuke (ex Nagoya) makes a good show. After the successful years in Netherlands 2nd division, he made a 9M Euro contract with CSKA Moscow. Nakamura Shunsuke in Espanyol still can not perform his best play in Celtic, said to be back to Japan, stays in Spain to prepare the World Cup.

No Fever! Japan Scoreless with China


Japan draw with China 6 February in Tokyo. The match is the opening of East Asian Football Championship 2010. The cup has been played since 2003 and Japan is not good at this cup.

East Asian Football Championship: 2010 Japan, 2008 China, 2005 Korea, 2003 Japan
On 2nd of this month, Japan invited Venezuela to play friendly in Oita. They failed to score there as well. South Africa is coming and we have registered the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup bids. But we have forgotten the way to put a fever out from soccer family to Japanese society. Matches on Thursday and Sunday are very important for us.
