Tokyo Verdy player visits!

On Thursday, December 9, 2021, a player from Tokyo Verdy, a professional soccer team sponsored by ePartners, visited our office. This time, we have # 13 Mizuki Arai and # 15 Nduka, his Boniface player. We just finished this season in the final race on December 5th, and have come to the place where we are tired!

Mizuki Arai is from Urawa Reds Youth, and after graduating, he trained as a warrior in Austria before participating in the J-League in Japan, and joined Tokyo Verdy in 2019. He won the starting lineup in the remaining three games this season and scored a wonderful goal. The weapon is dribbling. He can easily remove the sticking mark. I am 24 years old, who is expected to make a leap forward from next season.
Boniface Nduka is 25 years old from Saitama prefecture, with his father being Nigerian and his mother being Japanese. When he was in Urawahigashi High School, he was also selected as a candidate for the U-16 Japan National Team. He joined Tokyo Verdy from this season. With a height of 183 cm, in addition to playing to maximize the physical advantage, the technique at the feet is also strengthened to support the team.

By the way, at the social gathering, the players answered various questions. What are your best memories of Christmas? Nduka said she was planning to spend Christmas with her for the first time this year, and she said she would come to report the results next year. When asked who he admired and respected, it was impressive that Arai mentioned the name of her senior, Takahiro Shibasaki. Unfortunately, 39-year-old Shibasaki will leave Tokyo Verdy at the end of this season, but he seems to have been loved by the young players of the team because he is a reliable father. Arai said, “I’m a good person,” and he looked disappointed, and the staff who accompanied me also said, “It was the (mental) pillar of the team.”
Then, such a question popped up.
“Please express this year in one Chinese character!”
… No, I didn’t have to do it all of a sudden (laughs) In order to have each person write it, I prepared a board and a pen in advance, and they were given a sign, which would be a treasure for the begging employees.
The Chinese characters chosen by the two players are … Arai is “thought” and Nduka is “shin”. Both of them said that it is most important to be considerate and believe in each other because all the people are depressed by the new corona turmoil.
Thank you for your willingness to answer the sudden surprise question.

I got a lot of signs. I also took a commemorative photo. Thank you to all the players and staff for a year. We pray for a great leap forward next season!
