The love of soccer in three different ways.

. Since this round-table discussion is about vintage soccer wear, we have gathered three soccer enthusiasts here. . Before we get into the main topic, I would like to start by asking each of you about your soccer history.
Ichinose:I am Ichinose of "roster vintage", a vintage soccer uniform and apparel store. I have been playing soccer from the first grade of elementary school to the third grade of high school . My high school was Shohei, which now represents Saitama. When we were playing, we weren't so strong....
Shunsaku:. my name is Shunsaku and I am a stylist. I am from Saitama, Japan, and actually joined the same soccer club as Ichinose-san when I was in elementary school. I was a member of the same soccer club as Ichinose-san in elementary school. I went to junior high and high school at Kasukabe Kyoei. By the way, I am always grateful to "roster vinatge".
Yuya:My name is Yuya and I am an actor. I am from Shizuoka, Japan, and played soccer from the 3rd grade of elementary school to the 3rd grade of high school.
Shunsaku:Shizuoka is a soccer kingdom, isn't it?
Yuya:. but it was not a very strong school. . I still like playing soccer, and I play futsal once a week.
So you have all been playing soccer for many years. Can you tell us about your favorite teams and players?
Shunsaku:I have always supported Arsenal since elementary school , and was a Wilshere fan. I miss wearing the number 19 uniform all through high school.
Ichinose:Wasn't Arsenal in its heyday when Shunsaku was in elementary school?
Shunsaku:Yes, I agree. The strongest years were around 2003 and 2004, when Henri and Cesc, who was still a young player, were in the team. We were a team that reached the final of the Champions League.
Ichinose:I liked Barca in the final against Arsenal. Ronaldinho was just amazing.
I see the names of legends that I have missed are all over the place. Do you have a team that you support?
Yuya:I started playing soccer again this year, and I started watching the games. On the other hand, I didn't watch soccer at all when I was active, and I only knew a few star players. Recently, I've been watching the Premier League a lot, and I'm not an avid supporter of any particular team, but if I had to pick one, I'd have to say Tottenham. I saw a documentary called "All or Nothing," which closely follows Tottenham during one season, and I thought they were a great team.
Shunsaku:Then you and I, as Arsenal fans, are enemies (laughs).
Yuya:It's a stiff derby (laughs).
*Ed. note
The match between Arsenal and Tottenham, whose home town is north of London, the capital of England, is called the North London Derby.
