UK-Japan News September 2015

Leicester City Football Club’s Shinji Okazaki has adapted to the demands of Premier League football, Japan Today reported on 20 August.

The 29-year-old, who scored 37 goals in over four years in the German Bundesliga league, said his first goal for the club was the result.

“Prior to coming to the Premier League, I would have trapped the ball, but my instinct told me that I needed to react quickly at this level and I took the chance and volleyed the ball instead”, he said, adding that he wants recognition as a goalscorer.
