Comment

MOREIRA Ozu (Tokyo Lequios BS)
I’m really pleased that I was selected as one of ‘The best 5 players’ at the Beach Soccer Stars Ceremony 2014. I’m truly grateful to my teammates, the coaches, the staff, the JFA and every supporter back in Japan. This time it was an individual award, but I’ll try harder in the future, so that we will be awarded not only as individuals, but also as the Japan national team.
