“Japan has become a mask society” 9 visits to Japan, Japan-friendly French reporter still worried about Japan’s difficulties “The humidity in summer is unbearable” “Masks are a bit too much even outside”-J League-Number Web

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) visited Japan on their pre-season tour this summer. After three test matches in Tokyo, Saitama, and Osaka (Kawasaki Frontale, Urawa Reds, and Gamba Osaka), the French champion left like a storm after spending 10 days there. Several journalists came from his home country of France to cover the story, and one of them, Kayvan Naragi, who specializes in football coverage for the AFP news agency, which is also known as the world’s oldest news organization, was in Japan this time. I asked him about his impressions of his coverage activities.

Reporter NaragiWell, this is my ninth time to Japan, and I usually come in the spring or summer, so I was prepared for the heat, but yeah, Europeans don’t get used to the humidity. In terms of temperature, it’s also pretty hot here, but the humidity is pretty unbearable. But for us interviewers, it’s not a big deal. But I think it’s been pretty tough for them to prepare for the long season ahead. When I spoke with the PSG coaching staff, they said that the quality and content of the training was very fulfilling, but they said, ‘The climate was quite tough.

Reporter NaragiIt’s a matter of getting used to it. Well, I think it’s tough for those who do sports. So I was training from evening to night, but normally training is done in the morning, so it would have been a burden in the sense that I was doing something different from the pattern I was used to. I wish I could have trained earlier. Compared to doing it in Europe, we had to prepare for the new season under different conditions and environments, so that part must have been quite difficult.

Reporter NaragiI accompanied the event that was open to the press. The event with Teddy Riner, who belongs to the PSG judo club, and the Japanese judo champion was interesting. Champions Ohno (Shohei Ohno) and Nomura (Tadahiro Nomura) were there, and the players played together and had a lot of fun, so it was a good event.
