Wataru Oguchi vahvistamaan JäPSin takalinjaa!

Yksi muikea sopimusuutinen ehti vielä ennen huomista sarja-avausta rekisteriin, kun viimeksi Australiassa pelannut Wataru Oguchi, 25, siirtyy leventämään JäPSin puolustuslinjaa.

Japanin passia kantavalle Oguchille Suomi on jo neljäs maa, jossa mies pelaa.

– I played in Japan until graduating from University. Afterwards I played in Canada, and last season in Australia. Playing in Europe was a childhood dream, Oguchi kertoo.

Ensimmäiset viikot Järvenpäässä ovat sujuneet mukavasti.

– My first moments with the team have been very enjoyable, as my teammates have been very welcoming. I like the high intensity of the practice sessions and how every player is focused.

Mainitusti puolustuspäässä viihtyvä Oguchi on parhaimmillaan laitapakin roolissa.

– I am confident with both feet. I would say my strengths include defending in 1v1-situations, long passes and crosses. I am very confident in my stamina, so transitioning from defending to attacking is also a quality I'd highlight.

Oguchi ei kuvia kumartele, vaan asettaa itselleen ja joukkueelle kunnianhimoiset tavoitteet.

– As a team, we obviously want to earn as many points as possible and battle for promotion. I hope to play as many games as possible and help the team with clean sheets, goals, and assists.

– I am looking forward to meeting the JäPS family at the stadium!

Welcome to Järvenpää, Wataru!
