『Japan international Yuki Abe facing

delay over Leicester City debut』

本文:

Midfielder Yuki Abe may have to wait to make

his Leicester City debut because of problems

with his work visa.


The Japan international has not yet trained with

his new team-mates because of the visa issues.


But City boss Paulo Sousa is hopeful his new signing

will be able to link up with the squad

before tomorrow's trip to face Coventry City

at the Ricoh Arena.


However, Sousa warned it may be too early for Abe –

who has been capped 49 times by Japan and

played four games at the World Cup this summer

– to be thrown straight into the side, and he would

rather assess the player during training.


When City signed Abe from J-League side Urawa Red Diamonds,

they had to launch an appeal in London to gain

international clearance for the 28-year-old because

he had not played the required 75 per cent of internationals

within the last two years.


But now he faces another hurdle with his visa.

"He has not trained with us yet because of

the problems with his visa," said Sousa.

"Hopefully, by the end of this week, he can arrive in the UK

and start to train with us and start to integrate with the squad.

We will see how he looks then.

"He has played nine or 10 games already (in the J-League),

so fitness is not a big issue.

"But we need to know him, we need to see him,

and he needs to integrate in the squad and with our identity,

and after that we will make decisions."

Work Permitは取れたのに、ビザ問題があるの??

(そんなこと聞いてないけど?)

阿部ちゃんのデビュー戦は今週末?

なんて言われていたときもありましたが、

チームと練習をしてから、阿部ちゃんが

どんな感じか確かめてから。

って監督が言ってます(当たり前ですね。)

でも、今週末までにUKに到着してくれれば…

って書いてるけど、もう着いたと思うけど?w

連絡はないんかい?w

『Abe could kick-start Leicester City's season』


本文:

As the Jackson 5 might put it, the solution to

Leicester City’s jittery start is “easy as AB…E”.

The tremendous £2million acquisition of Martyn Waghorn

has somewhat overshadowed Yuki Abe’s arrival,

but the Japanese international is precisely what City need,

a combative midfielder who can rapidly turn defence into attack.


The 28-year-old is like an Asian Neil Lennon,

although he is also blessed with the enviable dead-ball skills

of a Garry Parker or Steve Thompson.


He has won 49 caps for his country and was ever-present

at the World Cup in South Africa, where a watchable Japan,

spearheaded by Keisuke Honda, notched impressive victories

over Cameroon and Denmark,

before losing on penalties to Paraguay in the last 16.


Abe, who Leicester landed from Urawa Reds,

will bring raw energy to central midfield, and create vital space

for the likes of Dyer, Moussa or N’Guessan.


He will also provide desperately-needed protection to

a leaky back-four who have already shipped 12 goals in all competitions.

If Abe plays regularly he could plausibly grab 10-plus assists,

as well as quash the kind of counter-attacks Paulo Sousa’s

pretty open style has so far proven susceptible to.


It may take him a while to adapt to the English game.

The J-League is not nearly as physical,

although it is also played at a furious pace.


That said, Abe had few problems frustrating the likes of

Wesley Sneijder and Dirt Kuyt for much of the game in

Holland’s 1-0 group victory over Japan,

so has proven he can compete at the highest level.


He actually feared South Africa would be his

“last chance to impress on the world stage” but,

if Leicester’s dream of Premier League football is realised,

it will surely guarantee him a place at Brazil 2014.


Abe, who has also won an Asian Champions League medal

with the Reds (2007), will provide healthy competition

to the out-of-form, but talented, Andy King, and the committed,

but not especially clinical,

Richie Wellens. Both must now be at their

very best to get regular starts.


阿部ちゃんの名前がジャクソン5の歌に

なぞらえられてるw。

さぁみなさんもご一緒に、♪It's easy as ABE!♪

Jリーグとイングランドのリーグとの違いに

慣れるのに苦労するだろうって書いてありますが、

活躍すれば、2014年ブラジルワールドカップへの道も…

とあります。

期待されてることには間違えないですね♪
