Hi, guys.

Back in the days in Thailand..

This time was the second time to visit Thailand. The first time was last year. Back then, I had trials with three professional teams across the country, flying to both the north and south area in Thailand through my agent. 

But I made up my mind to look for a team by myself this time. The biggest reason was the contract details they always present that every player is obligated to pay in advance, which is a lot of money. Last time I made a contract with an agent from the company, I was compelled to pay first, which was about 600 US dollars. It covered me for a month, that means once you seal a contract with the agent company, you'd be referred some clubs by them. Beyond that point, it all depends on you. You have to play well and show what you are to get a REAL contract with a pro-team in Thailand.

However, I couldn't agree with it this time. I though it wasn't a reasonable fee for me.

But, in fact, there are still so many Japanese players want to come and play professionally outside Japan. There are no exceptions. I actually encountered two Japanese players who had already contracted with a team in Thai division 2. They said they already paid about 3 thousands dollars for a month contract with the agent company, plus it didn't include their flights.. What a fraud!!

For me, I've got one offer from a team in Thai, but the problem is that the location (where the club is) is in a dangerous province for terrorism.

Do you think should I still go?  

 

 タイでのトライアルを振り返ろうと思います。

 タイに来たのは今回で2度目。以前お世話になった代理人の方と接触し、相談した結果、今回は代理人契約は結ばず、自力で探すことに。

 まず思ったのは、タイは日本人選手が飽和状態。Jリーグの経歴が無い選手はまずはD2というタイ3部からのチャレンジが相場。給料も今年は外国人枠の削減など、外国人には風当たりが強い傾向にあり、月5-10万。そこから2年目の給料倍増以上を狙ってまず1年目は我慢し、そこで結果を残すこと。どちらにせよ、厳しいのが現状。個人的に接触し、テストに行ったチームにもすでに2人日本人が契約していた。本当に日本人は溢れている。それでも高い仲介料を払い、安い給料でもサッカーで飯を食って行く事を願う若い選手はたくさんいる。この2人も、1か月契約で30万という大金をある日本のエージェント会社に支払った。しかも航空券は含まれていないそうだ。

 そしてもう1チームは話がうまく進んでいた。が、ここは後で知ったがテロ厳戒地域の超危険地帯。タイ南部はマレーシアとの領土問題で、紛争が絶えず続いている。チームはまさにそこ。

 前日から行くかどうか本当に悩んだ。そこまでしてサッカーがしたいのか?契約してくれるチームならどこでもいいのか?と。結局、当日まで悩んで、最後出した答えは、断りの連絡だった。今は正直、インドでプレーしていた時の様なハングリーな感情はなくなっているのかな。実際、今20代前半なら行ってたと思う。ただ、今回は行けなかった。そこまでしてサッカーはできなかった。今できるのは、この決断が正しかったと思うほどのチームでプレーすること。それだけ!

Now watching yesterday's match. Honda criticized as "wasteful" in Yahoo UK article. Bad luck or poor concentration?

Hi, Sheffner Sensei.

That sounds like an interesting article, but every media has a different perspective. Besides, he missed many chances by hitting the post THREE TIMES. In a way, I could say the criticism get to the point. However, I just watched a highlight of it, though. Lol

Btw, it's been a long time. I might be back to Japan shortly. I will definitely let u know when I come back.
