Real life captain tsubasa!!! True asia legend!
Cavin Tube best asian player
In arabic its captain majd
If he went to Italy, wouldn’t that make him Hyuga?
Real life Captain Tsubasa is King Kazu
@@guozhou8114 nope, son
This guys English is excellent!!!
his Italian is even better.
COco Yo yo his Japanese is even better
Tony Coughlan are you stupid all Japanese people can speak English people who are from Japan who live in England can speak English fine so stfu
OJ DUBZ Chillll bruh
Very intelligent man, but yes tbh I like his English better than some people who have English as their only language
Why does he speak better english than Harry Kane?
Harry Kane speaks English?
@@jdyico 😂😂
He is a we Galway boy
Nakata scored 1 goal in pl and Harry Kane scored 160 goals. don't even compete
@@coladod2530 Kane’s a striker and Nakata is a midfielder
Was the most complete japanese player in all fundamentals I've seen play
He’s so down to earth and modest. He’s an inspirational dude.
Japanese ppl are very kind in general..
Look at Honda who played at AC Milan.. he was speaking about things no one didn't want..
So direct and honest
Totti ha detto che durante i festeggiamenti per lo scudetto nakata se stava a legge un libro. Idolo
I had the privilege to interview him one on one. He has completely abandoned football and makes it as part of his past that he will never dig up again. He does not watch games or play for fun anymore. He is now completely focused on his other ventures.
Hans David That’s too bad, he could at least get involved with the Japan NT and inspire the new generation. Just a few advice from such a japanese legend could make a difference in a young player’s career
Millenials would probably not know who this guy is. One of the best Asian footballers ever, and a starter wherever he goes - Roma, Perugia, Parma, Bologna, you name it! Not to mention man ages well too. Massive respect!
Nakata Career
in Roma - Failed
in Parma - Failed
in Bologna - Failed
in Fiorentina - Failed
in Bolton - Failed
@@user-vx6kx9rn1u without him, roma wouldnt have won the scudetto. so shut up
souls mischief . He’s literally Korean. Calm down
He’s an absolute legend one of my favourite ever players.
Millenial here. Yes I know who he is. I obsessively watched the Nike ads from the 2002 world Cup, and he was featured in a lot of those. That's where I first learned this guy is the real Japanese deal.
Not just an icon, he is a legend.. much respect for this guy..
Lies again? Get Wi-fi
If he was a legend, every professional player in Europe could be a legend.
@@dexterp9663 EA Sport put him in FIFA MOBILE as a legend
@@dexterp9663 🤦♂️😂
@@dexterp9663 2° at ballon d'or
Such a classy dude. And rare one. I'm mean he's inspiration came from a manga character, how unique is that! And kudos for supporting your culture too, not many players would have even thought about that. But then again, not many cultures are as Rich as Japan's.
How come no one else mentions how incredibly good looking this guy is?
revaholic, ikr, I'm a dude, but I'd like to inherit some of his features :D
His cheekbones. I remember wanting his 2002 hairstyle so bad
He somewhat reminds me of the Asian David Beckham with looks
@@Josh-nd6jj Lol yep
He's been regarded as Asian David Beckham because aside of being a footballer he was a fashion icon too, so yeah he's handsome definitely lol
As a Korean, I respect NAKATA who is the best midfielder in Asia. He is legend Player!
Nakata and nakamura are 2 of my favorite players in Japan :)
he can speak many languages. Not only a footbal genius, but also a genius at learning languages
He only speaks three languages? And most footballers speak more different languages.
@@electrogem7142 give us a percentage and some sources to back up this claim lad
Doesn't concern his footballing ability
This guy was my first nippon hero
Because of NAKATA, Asian football gain more respect from the world, ARIGATOU!!
micletiss7 you wrong...Cha Bum Kun first, Park Ji Sung and now Son Heung Min.
micletiss7 shut up nobodies ever heard of him
곽대한 이딴 짓좀 하지마;;;나카타도 레전드야
Nakata is one of the famous known asia football player during my childhood.. such a good player :)
곽대한 you salty koreans really love to carry your own chairs
.that's just so embarrassing
My generation was blessed with great footbaler, and Nakata was one of them..Japan's genius
His English speaking is very well!
This guy never old
juventus nightmare
best asian player forever
@@guozhou8114
in Roma - Failed

花房白香 🐒🇰🇷🐒 😂😂😂
park ji sung→ bench warmer
ki sung → kicked out of bench
Kwon Chang-hoon→Bench
Could you tell me Anyone else in korea act/acted in EU league?
Nakata>>>>Son=kagawa minamino>other korean
@@guozhou8114
Park played 54 games in Champions league
Nakata played 0 games in Champions league 😂
@@guozhou8114 What are you talking about? Park Ji-sung is a legend in Manchester United, and now he's playing Amber Suther, and Son Heung-min is the final candidate for Ballon d'Or. You guys are better than Japan.
Nakata is proud of Japan!
still we love to remember quality players like him. Shogun Hide forever
I love Nakata.. he's charismatic..
some of the youth nowadays still rocking the nakata's hairstyle. legend.
I agree. I still get a cut of nakata's hairstyle till this day .
What a man! One of my football idols while growing up. Cheers from Kazakhstan!
The power of Manga.
Underrated comment
Impossible not to wish this man all the best in the world. Always been a fan of the japanese passion in their national team
Magician of a player, slight built but what a player, brilliant to watch, so dynamic, Japan had a great team, he was the heartbeat, tremendous man
how is it possible for someone to have so much class??!!? HOWW?? HOWWWW???
Anyone here cause he got an icon card 😂😂
Anthony Giovanni u want beef
Not really but his card on FIFA is decent
I came here because of this Nike ad I saw a while back. Called the Cage. Check it out
Yes 😂😂😂😂
His Prime always stands out for me 👌👀
Nakata, one of a few Japanese football players I like and respect.
Hanbyul Kang you're Korean, aren't you?
I really respect how he said "this was a dream for us" taking on the dream for the whole country of Japan.
Nakata Fashion icon now
I remembered when he used to play for Parma , i think. Back then, i used to stick his photo on my books.
He's still a legend for Japanese
legend
He is the reason I watched all the Japanese national games in my entire life.. Asia's Tiger
Great player! I'm fan when was young... still fan!hahah
NAKATA is my favorite soccer player!
A true legend, inside and outside the pitch!
Though I am a Chinese ! I got to say, Nakata is perhaps the best player ever coming out of Asia! I mean back then he was not only an icon in Asia but really a world class footballer
zi chen did he ask sorry for japanese war crimes?
China soccer is still sucks, No a single player played well in the European League.
Best player of asia is Cha bum kun(korea). He won UEFA CUP twice by ace of teams with two teams.(Even Maradona won UEFA CUP 1 time, No European cup).
He was great and famous... but i'm gonna say Son is the best Asia player ever....
Wow that was really inspiring, he deserves the Icon recognition
thats why i love anime,japanese cartoon.their animation always give an inspiration!
Legend great player such class and elegance
The first ever football jersey I had was of this man.
Same! I still have the 98' kit!
@@tendogurung3224 That's awesome, mine was the 02 iirc
@@Aethewine Oh man those are one of the freshest kits imo! Hold on to it forever!
Nakata vs Batistuta in WC 1998. Both signed in same italian football club AS Roma and got Scudetto👍
What a legend
nakata is an icon of youth in far east,east asia during his peak
One of best Asian players to have ever graced football. Greetings from Somaliland

Nakata and Keisuke Honda are my Fav asian footballers love them love Japan♥️
When I was kid growing up in Japan, the couple who owned a restaurant we would regular every Sunday, would bring me back gifts and souvenirs from Italy being that they would travel there all the time.
I still have the Parma Nakata jersey they gave me as a kid.
Nakata and Nakamura were footballers I idolized growing up. Great role models too.
True legend

Still my favorite Japanese soccer player. I still see him as a great player.
Naz Z. 1 it’s football and 2 no ones heard of him
You are to young boy to know him,he was amazing for Roma making their star players look shit.
@OJW NUFC your British to say football, and lol he is an icon in fifa. That is how nakata is.
Or you think you are supposed to say football in this Japanese sport
The legend 💙
My favorite footballer!!! Hide-san!!
Very down to earth, god bless you.
so humble
This man.... He's one amazing player! 😍
According to EA he's not an icon.. just a hero 😢
He made his dream came true. He is the one who created the path for the others 😃
He is looking so completed and so well groomed man I'm jealous of him.
Humble but strong. Great player.
His english is impeccable!
I used to watch this guy all the time when he plays in Serie A
Watched him when a kid, a very modest player, an icon for not just Jpn, Asians from 80s n onwards.
Great video
Nakata was my hero growing up. Aside from Park Ji-Sung, I never saw an Asian player I can relate to, let alone a Japanese player.
What an awesome individual
nakata is legend
He is a pioneer of Japan.
Underrated card in fifa
When I was a kid , I had a Trading Card of Nakata San .
Love and Respect from India 🙏
🇮🇳❤️🇯🇵
ONE OF MY IDOLS
In 2000-01 he dominated for Roma alongside Totti. He is the best asian player I have seen in my 30 years watching football.
