Scudetto,Napoli

日本、ＰＫ戦の末敗れる　韓国が３位に決定
アジア杯の結果は本当に悲しかった・・・・。４位でシード落ちと言うのも勿論残念だけど、僕の悲しみの理由は他にある。
スポーツに限らずどんな勝負事も勝った者は誇らしく輝いていて、賞賛され美しく絵になる。僕達はそこに夢や希望を重ね合わせるんだ。
だけれども勝負は時の運と言う事もある。僕の望みは「負けて絵になる男に成れよ！」と言う事だ。
全力で戦った末敗れた者の後ろ姿に、勝者の輝き以上の感動を僕はしばしば感じるのだ。
負けて絵になる男に成るのは本当に並大抵の事じゃない、だけどそんな時こそ僕は心のヒーロー像を感じるんだ！

Watching a Japanese soccer player cry on a ground by losing PK was such an effeminate image. When they still have a slight chance in participating the next World Cup, it was no time nor place to show tears while fans still have a strong belief in the team. Losing a game is always bitter, yet it must be the time to show strength. I’m no strong supporter of the old LDP, but it was a noble speech after Katayama faced a defeat on upper class the Upper Class election. His appearace and words were enough to demonstrate his strength as a politician. It is no time for tears, boys!
