Sergio Echigo became a coach and trained young boys and girls from all over Japan at the "Sawayaka Soccer School". Many future J-Leaguers and Japan national team players attended the school. Among them, Sergio Echigo will reveal the surprising stories of three genius boys who shocked him! ■Sawayaka Soccer School A soccer school officially recognized by the Japan Football Association (now Aquarius Soccer Clinic) that started in 1978 with the support of Coca-Cola. In the first year, 73 classes were held with over 36,000 participants, and it was a huge success. Since then, the school has traveled all over the country, from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south, and held over 1,000 classes. A total of over 600,000 people have participated. He conveyed the charm of soccer through his unique teaching method and humorous speaking skills. Many J-Leaguers and Japan national team players have also participated in the classes. ■Hideki Nagai One of the people who supported Verdy Kawasaki's golden age at the beginning of the J-League. During his active career, he was an active dribbler, and after retiring, he became a coach. He is currently the manager of his former club, Tokyo Verdy. ■Matsunaga Setsutsuru (former Japan national team player) Former goalkeeper of the Japan national team. He was the starting goalkeeper in the final qualifying round for the US World Cup, known as the Doha Tragedy. He is known for his quick reaction to shots and his wide defensive range, which makes use of his high basic skills. He also has excellent footwork, and sometimes jumps out of the penalty area to play the role of libero. After retiring, he became a coach and became the goalkeeper coach for his final team, Kyoto. In 2007, he became the goalkeeper coach for his former club, Yokohama F. Marinos, where he is currently coaching the next generation. ■Ono Shinji (Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo/former Japan national team player) Japan's proud ``genius.'' He joined Urawa Red Diamonds from the prestigious Shimizu Commercial High School soccer team in Shizuoka. In his first year as a professional, he became the youngest player in the history of the Japanese national team to participate in the France World Cup, Japan's first appearance in the country. With his touch as if the ball was sticking to his feet and his gentle, soft passes, known as velvet passes, he played for the prestigious Dutch club Feyenoord and was the only Japanese player to reach the top of Europe (UEFA Cup). <Related Videos> Coca-Cola Refreshing Soccer Class CM 1985 • Coca-Cola Refreshing Soccer Class CM 1985 [Genius] Ono Shinji is so good that 30 techniques in a row that are incomprehensible • Video [Genius] There is a divine passing route that only Ono Shinji can see! • Video [Japan-Korea match] Matsunaga Setsuri saves with one left foot Final qualifying for the US World Cup • [Japan-Korea match] Matsunaga Setsuri saves with one left foot Final qualifying for the US World Cup ■Sergio Echigo Youtube Official Channel Updates Every Friday at 6pm (subject to change) *Collaborations and other occasions may be irregularly distributed.
