REJECTED MOVE
Urawa Reds midfielder Shinji Ono, who impressed in the
Confederations Cup, played in Japan's second division last
season rather than go to Italian club Bologna, while Kashima
Antlers striker Atsushi Yanagisawa rejected a move to Dutch side
Feyenoord.
During the Confederations Cup, Troussier criticised the high
salaries paid by J-League clubs and the "almost god-like status"
players are afforded by fans and the media.
"Here, a player scores a goal and suddenly he's a hero. He
reads the headlines the next day and he begins to believe all
the hype," he said.
At least Ono, who was watched by officials from German club
Borussia Dortmund throughout the Confederations Cup, looks
likely to move to Europe sooner rather than later.
But Troussier is concerned about the likes of Jubilo Iwata
striker Naohiro Takahara and Gamba Osaka midfielder Junichi
Inamoto, who both came of age in Japan's Asian Cup-winning
campaign in Lebanon last October.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who formerly coached J-League
side Nagoya Grampus Eight, said last month he was "hugely
impressed" with both players, but neither has shown any
inclination to leave Japan.
The experiences of Nishizawa, Hiroshi Nanami and Shoji Jo,
who also failed to make their mark in Europe over the past two
seasons, will do little to help Troussier realise his goal of
having "at least 10 players" in Europe before the World Cup.
Troussier believes Japanese soccer is at a crossroads and
the only way to progress is for players such as Ono, Takahara
and Inamoto to follow the example set by Nakata.
"I know they have the talent and bags of potential, but do
they have the desire?" Troussier said.
