- Iniesta's and Torre's arrival to the J-League has certainly been a big story in the football world, but why did they make the move to play in the Japanese league? We take a look at this fascinating and exciting league that should not go unnoticed!
This film was originally released on Saturday but has now been updated. We have since replaced a stylistic design that has cultural sensitivities we were not aware of.

I haven't watched the first one, but I bet it's the usage of imperialists flag AGAIN. The western countries always forget how awful and ignorant it is to use the flag (which means similar to Nazi mark).
Probably because it's still in use by the Japanese navy.
asa i just wanna ignore ur comment but ill just say it
The korean gov and koreans widely aware of vietnamese victims who suffered by korean soldiers during the Vietnam War. We constantly express sincere condolences and apologies errtime vietnam people mention it.
Fortunately, i believe errtime new korean president comes up they visit the Vietnamese victim memorial square to accept their dark history and give an oath not to repeat the same incident. (Im not sure about this)
And the korean gov constantly offered to the viet gov to have a joint research for further truth and historical facts
However, the viet gov had been refused for years.
Eventually they accepted
So korea and vietnam are currently having a joint research
My point is korean marines certainly did vicious deeds during the Vietnam War, and koreans do not forget that
日本語ですけど訳して読んでくれると嬉しいです。
この頃の日本と韓国の関係は良くありません
韓国は国力が弱い時には、日本や他国からの援助（賠償？）を受け取って、経済成長を遂げました。
国力が強くなったら、昔の事を取り上げて❝恨み❞で日本を非難しています。
韓国は旭日旗を日本を非難するための象徴としています。
旭日旗を大きく非難し始めたのは10年前ぐらいからです
過去には韓国国内でも、日本製ゲームなどで旭日旗が使われて、その時は非難していません。
旭日旗は軍隊で使用していますが、帝国主義や人種差別を象徴するものではありません
ナチスの鍵十字と同じではありません
現ドイツ軍が使っている鉄十字と同じ扱いです
無知と非難する人は❝恨み❞で感情的になっています。
旭日旗は朝日を描いたものです
日本の国旗も朝日（太陽）を描いたものです
そのため旭日旗にも国旗と同じぐらいの愛着があります
朝日が昇る旗を削除されることは私は悲しいです
国旗を削除された思いです。
確かに敏感なことですが
韓国の❝恨み❞の意見だけでなく、
日本の意見も尊重して下さい。
Torres, Iniesta, and Podolski went to J league because of one thing : Captain Tsubasa
lmao
And now Villa
Torres started football after he fell in love with Captain Tsubasa !
@@tehSweezyy Xavi, Del Piero, Gattuso, Diego Guiza, and Lionel Messi as well
wasi gupito budiarto And still lots other football players
I’m Japanese.
J league has super atmosphere.
If you come to Japan,absolutely you should to watch it.
What are the best Derbies in Japan?
BizarreWords i guess Osaka derby
I watched cerezo osaka v urawa red diamonds game
It was lit 🔥
BizarreWords Gamba Osaka v Urawa Red Diamonds in Japan's recognized a national derbie for Japanese.
Y. K Go to Kashima! I was there during their derby vs Kashiwa Reysol and it was so amazing. I’m a Kashima fan now because of that!
Almost half of Brazil National Team starting lineup in 1995-97 played in Japan. Players like César Sampaio, Jorginho, Leonardo, Evair, Zinho and Mazinho, for instance, all played for J.League teams in their prime years.
Not to mention Zico, who is a legend in Kashima, and Bismarck, defender capped for 1990 World Cup.
And Zico is still in Kashima as Director
Brazil is no longer stranger to world of football. In fact there is one former footballer Marcos Antonio who helped Malaysia club JDT win countless trophies in Super league and AFC cup
Lineker, Forlan, Stojkovic, Park Ji Sung, Mboma, Littbarski, Hulk, Stoichkov, Ljungberg, Laudrup, etc. J. League was insane especially in the 90s.
Zico scored a hat-trick in the first game of Kashima in the 1993 season. Dunga spent 4 season in Jubilo Iwata.
The most famous Macedonian football manager (I am Macedonian) Gjoko Hadzievski was the manager of Jubilo Iwata in the season 2000.
As of 2022
Iwaki FC has become the 58th club to join the J League seems like their 100 year plan is doing well
I absolutely love the J-League. One of my favorite leagues in the world. Sadly, I can't really follow it where I live :(
I’ve been following the J league since I used to watch it in 1995 in Uruguay. Lol I’m glad it’s finally gaining recognition internationally
I got into my local club, Sanga, while living in Kyoto around the start of the millenium. Small club, tiny crowds (3,000 ish on average) but they had a decent stadium and cracking cup-winning team then - excellent German coach, ace goalie and the outfielders included Daisuke Miura (Japan international), Teruaki Kurobe (Japan international striker) and Park-ji Sung, later to be a World Cup semi-finalist in 2002 and a Manchester United star. Happy times.
You forgot Diego Forlán was in the J-League as well
And he got relegated!
And David villa!
@@Markgangzta He only played half the season and was still the top scorer of the team.
Forlan was also in the Hong Kong and Indian league
@@ranvir5576 At Mumbai City in India
zico play for kashima antlers, how you miss that??
Played*
And Careca for Kashiwa
And Laudrup
Gary Lineker
Torres, Iniesta, Podolski and Villa came to J league. I hope Arjen Robben also starts his second career in J league.
takutaku takkunn that would be pretty cool
The former captain of North Macedonia national team Goce Sedloski played one season for Vegalta Sendai.
Do they still have the North Korean guy Ryang yong gi?
Hulk made his name playing in Japan.
Yes, quite literally.
Playing in J2 (2nd division)
Hulk smash!
Realest Ryoma he isn't so famous... Hulk is seleson.
Went to watch Urawa Reds vs Albirex Niigata at Saitama back in Sep 2015.
Addicted to the match atmosphere. It feels like Europe
You didn't mention that Arsene Wenger really got discovered as a good manager in Japan.
Welcome to the J League To the best league in Asia Jリーグは世界中のサッカー選手を歓迎します
Im from SERBIA, but i know Japanense and Chinese league IS the best ih Asia
Ayy bri, the ISL is here too😅
Nemanja Vujic
There is a few soccer supporters in China🤷♂️
How bad is the K league?
Joe Neri
It’s not popular for Koreans
"J-League is far from a mercenary haven, where aging has-beens look for one last paycheck..."
*MLS: I feel personally attacked*
I love the J League! I started following it in 2013 and have been hooked since. Kashima is my favorite team!
This is great and all but how do I watch the J League in the UK?
You dont know how to google?
@@YooJoker done that and there's literally nothing
You could try myfeed4u
r/soccerstreams c’mon man
We japanese are available for the internet DAZN which is a British company.
Japanese are sure special to the football, somehow Korea could follow the same steps as Japan and China to sign up big football players from European top teams to play there. Luka Modric could sign up for FC Seoul.
That was something worth knowing! Thanks for sharing!
FC Tokyo fan from the United States!
Urawa Reds from United States!
Gamba Osaka from Brazil.
Kashima Antlers from Canada!
Why??
Kashima Antlers from Malaysia
I gotta say. This vid has me sold already on the J League. I’m sure the quality of football isn’t half bad either! The Japanese love to run so I’m sure the amount of counter attacking free flowing football is staggering! As much as I love Rabonas, trivelas and back heels. I just want entertainment and effort. That’s what’s exciting to me
They play possession based football mostly
Celtic signed a player from the j league, kyogo, and he'll run all game, hopefully plenty more Japanese players join him
@@briandalton2786 hehe, this comment has aged well. Japanese Bhoys!
Watching it since 2003 !! Sky Sports brought the weekend highlights every monday evening, and I was watching it in Luxembourg. Still remember the tournament and the games of Urawa Reds against Boca Juniors and Man. United … times fly … Watching Gregor or Tsubasa and than the real guys on the pitch, brought me the purest football joy I‘ve ever had ♥️🇯🇵
89‘s portuguese boy over here and … Yokohama F.Marinos fan 🌂🇫🇷🙇🏻
Zico played there too, on Kashima Antlers I think. He helped a lot on the beginning of the league.
Saw a game about 10 years ago, was Oita Vs one of the Tokyo teams and the fans were so lovely!
Great video!
1:37 at 2023, there are two teams that have never been relegated: Kashina Antlers and Yokohama F•Marinos
I went to an FC Tokyo game a couple of years ago and had a great time. I hope to go to another and that it gets easier to watch games in the states
I really love this channel and would love to work for y'all someday!
"They restored parity" I used to love watching the J League highlights.
Came back to say at least J-League and Indonesia have some of the interesting teams and club crests around their leagues in Asia. Both on and off the field are a plus as well.
...there's football in Indonesia?
Victor the Kid yes check a team like PSS Sleman in the second division
@@huamanJR PSS is now promoted to first league.
sabiq rusydi just this year and now are champions of Liga 2
Indonesia really got a good atmosphere but sometimes they became too violent because of the fans, the rivalry really matters in Indonesia. That's all i can say as a native Indonesian.
yes it is, sanfrecce hiroshima who was in no1 position misteriously started to lose all its matches... really weird
I went to Kobe v Sanfrecce in the summer. Great atmosphere, even well before the game, akin to a European derby game. The Japanese always get behind their sports teams and wear the colours.
The game itself was meh, low intensity with lots of sideways and backwards passes, Iniesta's 20yd finish the only highlight.
Well worth going as it's friendly, fun and cheap.
I don't understand how they can say it's a league where players don't go for a final pay day but then talk about Podolski, Inesta and Torres
It's much more based on domestic talent, and there aren't Super Teams that dramatically pay to win like Barca and Bayern. It's well balanced and a top 25 league in the world.
+Caleb Shirey yep new teams win every year there is no really big teams that keep winning every other year.
@@cervicatillo thnx for that link, insightful stuff.
The J-League has way more professional structures than CSL, Katar and many classy 'final pay day' destinations together, while clubs in the J-League pay less money. Iniesta earns 5m p.a. in Kobe, but he turned down an offer from csl club about 27 Millions per year plus 36 for his wine.
Podolski also had better option, he could stay with Galatasaray earning 8m a year or also leave for an csl club. But he also decided to leave the club befor his contract runs out and to play in a competitive league.
The chinese clubs are still very young, that's why they have disgraceful training facilities and mostly amateur coaches and staff. They try to get this right (buying knowledge by european clubs, exchange coaches etc.), but that will take some years of work. Years that the J-League already has behind.
In addition to what @@robertsprinke5336 notes, one thing which makes the J.League unfit as a "final payday" destination is that it is both physically and technically demanding. There are numerous examples of players who went there and flopped dramatically because they viewed it exactly as the sort of destination that China, Qatar or MLS are. They quickly discovered that if you are not at the top of your game, you will quickly be embarassed and released. Examples? Id never manage a full list but . . . Bebeto, Hristo Stoichkov, Dwight Yorke, Ilhan Mansiz, Freddie Ljungberg, Diego Forlan, etc. etc. . . . . of those, Stoichkov played two very SUCCESSFUL years in MLS after Kashiwa Reysol terminated his contract for poor performances, and Yorke did the same in Australia. Ljungberg -- who arrived in 2011 after a fairly decent year at Celtic, was eventually pressured into "mutually terminating" his contract after six months, during which he scored 0 goals, 0 assists in 8 appearances. In short, players who are looking for a "final payday" are much better off going somewhere else.
As a supporter for US Soccer and MLS, they could learn from leagues that have a relegation system for the sport to grow in America. Not be exactly like them but pick up on some aspects that will work here and make it their own.
No 1 cares
Wrost legue wrost fans wrost atmosphere and cringe chats
Good video. Will definitely pay attention to the j league from now on
This league is brutal! I love this league!
Love it. Would love to come watch games in Japan some time.
Really enjoyed this piece. My only gripe would be "Twisted Sisters"
Beautiful country, beautiful culture, awesome league and Beautiful lady’s ❤️ 🇯🇵
They're ugly 😂😂
N beautiful waifus
@@ManchesterBlue1894 I think you may just be looking at a mirror, buddy
@@jesusvermillionthemereoleo5660 I guess the roast train stops for no man
There is a song that a Japanese club sings that is from Argentina: "Pasos al costado" by Turf
Reupload?
Now, David Villa has joined J-league too alongside Iniesta at Vissel Kobe.
I bet they still won't win the league. The rest of Vissel Kobe is shit, Iniesta and Podolski can't carry them.
Thanks for featuring J league!
...aaand they forgot about Zico :/
He played on Kashima Antlers from 91 (when it was called sumitomo metals), to 94, and was one of the players that helped to popularize the league at his time, indicating players and making the locals love football because of his talent
He even have a statue in his honor!
For once… even Totò Schillaci is never mentioned, or most recently Hulk
when does the j league 2019 season begin and how can i watch it online?
Didn't you upload this yesterday?
Parity. What a concept. Europe’s leagues could learn a thing or two...
You can realize in this video, Vissel Kobe, the team which Iniesta was taken 7 GOALS and they took 0.
How great they are
It's true, the J-League is REALLY fun to watch. I love it!
Want to see more of Asia’s top young players a chance to prove themselves.
as a bit of correction only 2 clubs since the inception of the j league never got relegated yokohama f marinos and kashima antlers
so... we wont talk about Arsen Wenger and Hulk himsef?
Im watchin J league around 10 years. Fuckn addictive and I really love it
unfortunately it's not broadcasted in the US very much
Podolski 🔥
I love J league I love Japan from Thailand
Maybe someday the Japanese will have a Pokémon soccer league
been watching the j league since FSW had it when i was a child
The only reason iniesta moved to kobe is because he is starting up a winery business with the owner of rakuten, that he gets to play still in the team is a bonus.
I watch J-League on DAZN and matches are really entertaining and competitive.
Can you do a video on USSDA I play for Continental FC Delco’s u14 team and it would be nice #ussda
Could there be videos on ekstraklasa?
they currently have 60 clubs in total from the first to third division
im still waiting for new chapters of Giant Killing to be released and hopefully animated again.
As a Urawa Reds fan myself, I wouldn't recommend expecting to see top-notch performances on average (slower passes, weaker shots, clumsier traps) but the tension of "who's gonna win" is definitely there, and I think it's much more interesting than seeing Madrid and Barcelona win every other year.
Oh and check out our supporters too; we sing the national anthem louder than when the national team is playing ;)
Wenger to J.League
You know that prior to his Arsenal appointment as head coach, he was coaching in the J-League.
No, he should be in JFA instead of managing one of J league team
Reupload?!?! 🤔
Arsene Wenger to Vissel Kobe? Yes please
I want that dog t-shirt! Do you know what team is it from?
That beat in the video is great. Does anybody know it?
What's the backsound, please?
Zico, Laudrup also came to J-league in the 90s!!!!!
You guys forgot to mention Zico there
My favourite J league club is Kashima Antlers because legendary Zico who put Japan in global map of football
Michael Laudrup, Zico Diego Forlan play here as well. Hulk begin his career at J League 2
I'm Japanese and didn't mind the imperial flag use. Mine is just one opinion, but it's good to keep it positive! Love the vid
Yeah you should mind it if you know what it means and what it was used for and stood for. Watch out if you keep using it.
sisleyan Please tell me: What does it stand for? What does it mean? I don't know where you are from but in case you are from Korea, please let me remind you how the Koreans used comfort women in Vietnam during the Vietnam war. Should we not stop using the Korean flag? If you're Chinese , please tell me how many Chinese people starved to death under Mao's regime? Why do we still use the same old Chinese flag?
I'm not sure you're in a position to be able to tell me what I should feel about something, and so I find your comment quite ignorant and distasteful. If by, "what it was used for", you're referring to its representation of Japan's imperialism in World War 2, I still don't really see your point. To the Japanese, it may constitute some shame stemming from the surrender in 1945, but that was a long time ago dude. I'm a young adult; the result of the second world war itself is not a major part of my life. Plus, a very similar flag is currently used for the Japanese Maritime Force, and you see the Rising Sun in many commercials, games, movies, band logos and so on. Japan is known as 'the land of the rising sun', so why can't I be proud of something that represents that?
The 'cultural sensitivities' that Copa90 mentioned may, of course, refer to Koreans or Chinese (possibly war veterans too, if any are watching) that take offence to the flag due to its symbolism (remember, Korea was formerly ruled by Japan, and Manchuria was occupied in 1931-1932). Like I've already said though, I'm Japanese, and I didn't mind it.
#onelove
Steven Kraus they used it in ww2 I think but I’m not sure
FC TOKYO VS KAWASAKI FRONTALE is Tamagawa Clasico
Japanese Big Darby
Well if this is true, I think I'm gonna start watching now. The only contender to this is the Premier league. All the other leagues have the same winners every year and it's really boring.
Kashiwa Reysol.... :'(
didnt see a pic of Hugo Vieira, that means a complôt aganst Yokohama F. Marinos... :v
3:57 kiss and twisted sister
"Argentinian Spanish"
CortezTrece que boludos🤦♂️
I've heard Argentinians and mexicans speaking spanish, for me it was almost 2 different languages but they could undertand each other so no big deal
Well, we don't speak the same Spanish everywhere. I'm Mexican and I could hardly understand half of what Argentines are saying
Argentinians speak Spanish with an almost Italian accent considering many Argentine lineages came from Italian immigrants.
Nothing can be 'most unique'. Either it's unique or it isn't.
They have a highlights and matches on eurosport2 i think before 3 4 years why they stop i very much enjoy it fans are great and the football is attacking
Best current import in the J League is Chanathip Songkrasin
But the home supporters often get out shouted by the away supporters
"Twisted Sisters"
😂
Twisted sisters lol
jリーグおもろいですよー！海外の皆さん
A shame you can't select the J-League on Football Manager
I follow the league due to ex Ulsan Hyundai keep sym hym gyu joining vissel Kobe ( 5.20 )
Am Coming To Japan To Play In J-League
The reason I found about the j-league was when this Japanese voice actress/singer attended a 3rd j-league match
Not mentioning Zico’s massive influence on popularizing and highlighting the Japanese League on it’s beginnings is an absolute travesty.
I unfortunately don't watch j league but one thing I like is there are no dynasties created whereas in la Liga it is real madrid or Barcelona in bundesliga Bayern münchen in serie a Juventus in ligue 1 PSG
There is no chance for other small clubs to win titles can anyone imagine Brighton winning the premier league
Same for the champions league i am a Real Madrid supporter ( a true supporter not a glory Hunter) but I want other clubs small clubs to even have a chance in winning the champions league not always us and Barcelona. I would like to see if a club like atalanta or Valencia or zenit winning the champions league it will get more fun
Leicester City won the Premier League in the 2015-16 season despite the odds of 5000-1 and they were the most likely team to be relegated that season
Money is the only reason the West began to even acknowledge this league.
can u do Australia League
Rakuten is a major sponsor of Barcelona and is also the owner/parent company of Kobe Vissel.
That might explain why Andres Iniesta moved to Vissel Kobe because of Rakuten
Japanese league look legendary af
