The representative of Japan for the World Cup.
He's the man who's scored the third-highest goal in history.
Ayumu's cross, and it's in!
The 50th goal for the World Cup is a big one!
The representative of Japan for the World Cup, Shinji Okazaki.
Last year, he contributed to England's Premier League win.
Whether he's a representative or a club member, his hard work leads his team to victory.
I know I'll make mistakes, but I'm not afraid.
There's always next time, and I want to see more.
I want to be a soccer kid.
He's 110% every training session, every game, and a good part of the team as well.
His power before the goal is something only those who score can have.
If you get the ball, you get the ball. If you're faster than your opponent, you can't score that many points.
He used to be so unexpected.
He used to be afraid of being fired.
It was as if I had pulled him up with a U-can in front of a pediatrician.
In a way, he was the closest to me.
This season, Okazaki has been struggling with anxiety.
The truth he told during that time.
I got out of the starting line and was on the bench.
It was like, "What kind of person am I?"
He regained his position.
Now, he's sending people who are in a pinch...
Records of unknown battles.
A city in the middle of England, Leicester.
Okazaki has been showing battle scenes here since last season.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- How are you? - I'm good.
It's amazing that we made it all the way in here.
It's extremely unusual for a camera to be used for practice in the world-famous Premier League.
When we do things like this, everyone looks at us. That's what I hate the most.
- Really? - It's embarrassing.
- Then let's do it properly. - Okay.
- Let's do it properly. - Okay.
It's embarrassing, so let's do it properly.
Okazaki is quite shy.
Before practice, she always scores and lifts the ball with a penalty game.
Okazaki is a beloved character who is played by everyone.
She came to England for two years and got familiar with the team.
The Premier League, in which Okazaki fights, is one of the best leagues in the world.
Guardiola led Manchester City, which created the golden age of Barcelona, and Chelsea, which has great financial power.
In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United, where Beckham belonged, and other world- class big clubs work together.
Meanwhile, last year, Okazaki's Leicester City F.C. had another bankruptcy, and for the 133rd year in a row, they won for the first time.
The odds of winning were 5,000 times, 10 times higher than Nessy's discovery, a miracle like a superconditional phenomenon.
Okazaki was a central player in the history of leicester city.
Okazaki is not very tall, and he doesn't have strong kicking skills or technique.
His weapon is the dirtiness that can score points in any form.
A diving head that jumps in with all its might with such a small body.
A move that leaves a mark with a defender's momentary gap.
Not missing the moment when the opponent takes their eyes off.
Controlling the last minute of defense.
(commentary)
The score he gained as a representative of Japan is 50 points.
This is a record of third place in history, according to the Japanese soccer world's legend Kunishige Kamamoto and King Kazuko and Kazuyoshi Miura.
Shunsuke Nakamura, who has played with many forwards, also highly evaluates Okazaki's strength.
He's good at taking back.
His power before the goal is something only those who score can have.
When you think you're going to score, you're one step ahead of your opponent and you make them run.
He always has a great antenna like that.
I think that's what leads you to score.
You only want to score. Give me the ball, give me the ball. I'm faster than my opponent.
That's not enough to score.
He's smart.
It's been 12 years since he became a professional.
Okazaki has accumulated records comparable to those of legends.
He has a belief.
Okazaki is not a superstar like Keisuke Honda or Shinji Kagawa.
Nevertheless, he has certainly achieved results in any team, such as England and Germany.
That's because he's a coward, but he's got the guts to do his best in defense.
That's how he gained trust and continued to chase the leading role in setting goals.
It's the same in any world, but the leading role is definitely decided, right?
Isn't it possible for the supporting roles to take the leading role?
As a writer, I've been thinking about how to survive without being faster than others,
and I've been told that I'm worse than others, and all I can do is work hard.
If you can't win with what you have now, you'll have to work harder than anyone else during the game.
There's a gap where you have to do things that no one wants you to do.
That's why I want to stand on the pitch in a game.
If you stand on the pitch, you'll definitely have a chance.
Even as a 31-year-old veteran, he runs around like a rookie.
Always working hard.
That's Shinji Okazaki.
Let's lock the door.
We can't be seen.
Mr. Okazaki rents a house about 10 minutes' drive from the training ground.
When I come back, I enter this space.
Then I don't move much from here.
His favorite place is the red sofa in the middle of the living room.
He says this is the most relaxing time to watch soccer broadcasts.
I can get soup stock with this.
I don't know if it's the right way to use it, but I always did it randomly.
Due to his childhood school, Mr. Okazaki is single now.
Mr. Okazaki hasn't gotten used to self-taught yet.
I don't know if it's right or wrong.
My wife always tells me it's dangerous.
It's the opposite.
I don't think people think I'm doing it for real.
I'm doing it for real.
What's that?
Romance.
For now, I like it because it's tasty.
While doing housework that he's not used to, he continues to live alone.
The daily pressure is also big.
It's not bad.
I can eat it.
Of course...
Soccer...
As much as a player, you have to take care of your family, your husband and your father.
But there's always pressure somewhere.
One hour is important.
We were together for a week.
My wife was taking care of her own pressure and I was taking care of my family.
I think I'm losing my balance.
I'm focused on soccer.
When I come home, I try to play with my kids.
I like it a lot now.
January.
Half of the season had passed.
The team and Okazaki were struggling with uncertainty, as if last year's championship was a lie.
15th place out of 20 teams and only a few places to go to the quarterfinals.
It was a cliffhanger indeed.
One of the reasons was that a player who was a key player in the second half of the season was pulled out of the big club.
As the second half of the season became weaker, they increased their offense to make long passes to the front line, but it didn't work.
Moreover, this strategy was not suitable for Okazaki, who is short.
Change? Change! Change!
Okazaki's first shot and bench ratio were almost half and half.
Evening. Evening.
He felt confused about his unstable standing position.
Okazaki's first shot and bench ratio were almost half and half.
There are many players who haven't played in this team for a long time or who have been playing in this team for a long time,
but I don't think there are any players who have played more than me in the first shot and then changed and then went to the bench or went out of the bench.
That's how frustrated I am about this team. Confidence is formed and confidence is broken.
It's not frustrating, it's like I still have to do something about it.
The match was 0-0, and the match was still on hold.
With 13 minutes left, it was finally Okazaki's turn.
Okazaki is going to make a change. It's the effervescent Shinji Okazaki who's going to come on here.
I want to use this chance and win a regular position.
There is Okazaki and here's Mares.
Okazaki!
But their teamwork is bad and they can't create a chance.
They couldn't change the flow of the game.
Okazaki couldn't see what he should do.
Good work.
Only 20 minutes left.
That's right.
I have to do something more.
I'm frustrated.
I couldn't do anything, so I can't play today.
The team atmosphere is bad and the difficulty level is low.
I've always been able to organize things with the team, but now I'm thinking about how I can do it.
Yes.
Next week, another tough battle continues.
His opponent is the big club, Manchester United.
It's been two games since Okazaki made his debut.
In a match of two, a small mistake can cost you your life.
And right now, Okazaki is just one mistake away from his next match.
Even so, Okazaki still had a firm resolve in his heart.
That day, Okazaki always looked forward.
He was repeatedly blocked by tough defenses.
Even so, he kept attacking.
Even if there were many enemies around him, he didn't run away and aimed for the goal.
Even if he made a mistake once, he didn't give up and continued to persevere.
ENTENI!
After this, Okazaki made a comeback in the first half of the game.
But he felt like he couldn't attack anymore.
I have to move forward.
I have to make a comeback, even if it's just a little.
Making a comeback means giving up.
I think it's over if I can't do it in the Premier League.
If I play, I'm afraid of being caught.
If I make a mistake, I don't need you anymore.
If you make a mistake, you can't go back anymore.
In this negative atmosphere.
I'm afraid of making mistakes, so I keep asking questions.
It's a challenge.
Even if I don't know if I can move forward,
There was a scene where I was attacked and caught.
If I could go there, I would have changed the direction of the dribble and the way I touched.
It's not perfect, but it's a back pass.
I'm afraid of it, so I'm going down.
If it's over, I'll regret it today.
I'm not depressed.
I'm not depressed at all.
I don't feel bad and I'm not depressed.
If I didn't take on the challenge, I wouldn't know what I was doing today.
No matter the adversity, Okazaki will not stop the challenge.
Okazaki came to the Premier League two years ago.
Fighting in England has been his dream for many years.
How did you feel when you first stood in this stadium?
Well...
First of all, I made a contract and came here.
I'm not really into that kind of thing.
But when I entered Stamina Stadium for the opening game,
I stood in this stadium and it made me think deeply.
Come to think of it, his soccer life was a series of pinches.
But every time, he came back up.
He met soccer for the first time when he was in the second grade of elementary school.
It was the second year of J.League, and the soccer boom was in full swing.
Mr. Okazaki joined a local team and helped me with my practice.
Mr. Yamamura Shunichi led Mr. Okazaki as a coach.
He was faster than me and could kick the ball more carefully than me.
In that sense, he wasn't in the top team, but he wasn't the best either.
Still, Mr. Okazaki has a strong impression of him.
He would definitely kick the ball.
Even though there is a line, he would run and slide to stop the ball.
He was blamed for it.
He was in front of me, but he came back up.
He had a heart that never gave up.
He was strict, but he chased the ball until the end.
His brother, Mr. Takahiro, was in the same team.
Even after practice, he played soccer at home for hours.
It's really nostalgic.
Anyway, if I had time, I would have kicked the ball.
There is a passageway here.
I'm here and my brother is over there.
So this width is the goal.
Neither of us is particular about winning or losing.
In the end, I noticed that I was kicking the ball until late at night.
The two advanced to the same high school and participated in national competitions as the same forwards.
The forward two-top is a very rare sibling two-top all over the country.
No. 23 Shinji Okazaki and No. 16 Takahiro Okazaki will enter.
With breathtaking play, they advanced to the best four all over the country.
In his third year as a captain, he played against Honda Keisuke.
In fact, on that day, even though he had a crack in his right leg, he entered the game from the middle.
In fact, even though he had a crack in his right leg, he entered the game from the middle.
Shoot! Goal!
It's a win!
He lost the game, but he showed that he wouldn't let anyone feel the injury.
It's a truck race all the time.
You have to score in any way you can, and you have to rush in from the top.
It's like that all the time.
In the end, what we saw in elementary school was that we just had to aim for the top.
I think it's something we've been able to continue for a long time.
Mr. Okazaki, who graduated high school, joined J.League and Shimizu Esparz.
I'm Shinji Okazaki, and I'm from Takihata High School.
I hope I can get used to this team as soon as possible and become a samurai like Shimizu Esparz,
with the theme of "samurai spirit," which I've been playing soccer for a long time.
Thank you.
However, what awaited them was a world of harsh professionals.
Among the eight forwards, the position is lowest.
The turn is rarely turned.
Even in training matches aimed at young players, they are not played as forwards but as defenders.
I prepared my neck many times.
I think I was at my wits' end.
I didn't know if I could survive as a professional or not.
It was as if I had been picked up by a kindergarten teacher.
I thought I might be fired as a professional.
Even if I didn't make it here, there must be a team somewhere.
If I hadn't taken a step there, there might not have been a choice.
At 20 years of age, she is already down and out.
Even so, Ms. Okazaki faced forward.
Even if she was used as a defense position, she played her role well, saying it was her current ability.
She practiced every day, until the last minute, looking at her own lack of skills, leg strength, and game strategies.
Thinking about what you can do and what you can't do,
and not giving up on facing yourself,
I think that's the most important part of myself.
Even if you experience things you don't like, you still move forward and move forward.
Mr. Okazaki's attitude, who practices hard, was gradually recognized, and he sometimes went out to play.
Even so, points can't be decided.
First year and second year, no goal.
Meanwhile, players of the same season are getting more and more active.
If results don't come out as they are, the life of soccer is in danger.
The third year, which she faced with anxiety.
It was that April.
Thank you very much.
Dirty-smelling diving head
He broke a cliff and achieved results.
With that first goal, I realized how much I had worked for it.
In the end, by achieving results, I was liberated.
As long as you don't achieve results, you won't be evaluated.
I clearly realized that as a professional.
But...
Well...
You do what you do and you get a chance.
In order to achieve results, you have to work hard.
In a professional world,
I think that pressure and other things
taught me how to do it.
Okazaki! He shoots! Okazaki!
Wow!
Okazaki! He shoots!
Okazaki! Oh! He's done it!
At the end of February, England's football league was hit by a shock.
Last season's champion, Leicester, hadn't won for two months.
In order to take responsibility for it, coach Ranieri, who was supposed to be the winner, was suddenly dismissed.
- What's the news? - Everything's fine.
Instead, Shakespeare, who used to be coach, is now in charge of the team.
How do you think you will define success as a manager between now and the end of season?
Again, I think we have results. I think it's got to be results.
I think we've got to put some wins on the board. We've got to try and move up the table.
As the coach changed, the team's results began to soar.
After the switch, the team won five games and lost one.
The team regained their momentum.
However, Okazaki was dissatisfied.
Changes in the first half alone and a game without Stamens continued.
Goals were not scored for more than four months.
It was late April.
His opponent on that day was Arsenal, led by manager Wengel.
Okazaki became a star player for three straight matches in a row.
He watched the match with bitter feelings in his heart.
The day before, I was in the starting line-up for practice.
But I was suddenly removed from the match on the day of the match.
And we didn't talk about it at all.
There was a part of me that was a little angry.
Like, "Oh, the season is over."
Like, I didn't know why I was changed for the reason of the day.
I know it's tough for you, but you removed me from the starting line-up.
The match was a draw.
Both teams advanced without points.
It was only 20 minutes into the second half that Okazaki took the lead.
Even when he's on the pitch, his heart still beats for him.
Even so, he still tries to play as usual.
However...
He got lost and missed the shot.
And just before the end of the game...
Another chance will come.
He dodged his defense and jumped in.
At that moment, something changed.
When I missed the ball, I was frustrated.
I thought it would be better for me to be embarrassed.
I thought it would be easier for me to say, "I'm not motivated, so it's natural for me to miss the ball."
I thought it would be better for me to be embarrassed.
When I missed the ball, I thought I came back to myself.
It's not enough.
As a forward, I was told that I wasn't good enough.
My dissatisfaction was resolved in today's game.
I want to prove my worth in the next five games.
That's what I honestly think.
Up until today, I was like, "I'm done with this team."
But it's my fault that I'm like this.
I want to work hard and do what I can until the end of this season.
3 days later…
Okazaki was appointed to the starting line-up.
He runs desperately for his team.
And...
Okazaki took the ball away and tied it up with the score.
But he still can't decide his own fate.
Just one more step and he'll miss out on a big chance.
And now Okazaki, who set up Jamie Vardy's goal, is going to make way.
Even though he contributed to the victory, he changed course again.
This season, Okazaki has been used in various ways.
Even in a short period of time, even if he lost his motivation, he continued to run hard for the team.
However, that alone does not mean the true meaning of his existence.
He will definitely show the result of his goal.
For me, the result is a victory.
For me, it was too big for me.
Because of me, the team is not saved.
It was like a strange burden.
But in this world, that alone cannot survive.
There are many people like that.
After all, the important thing is not the player who scores, but to score in an important place.
I want to score and look back.
There are only three matches left.
Today's opponent is Manchester City.
As usual, Okazaki runs around the pitch and asks for a chance.
And in the middle of the first half...
...Albrighton...
...got the perfect ball.
Dark blue shirt's in there...
...oh, what a goal! Akasaki!
That is sensational!
From the Japanese international!
A bold volley...
It's been 24 games...
...and the result is...
This goal was chosen as one of the best goals of this season by the media and was engraved in people's hearts.
