CHELSEA telah berada di Jepang untuk Piala Dunia Klub - turnamen ini bagi Fernando Torres menjadi hal penting, karena Jepang sangat berarti baginya, sebagai tempat kelahiran dari serial animasi Kapten Tsubasa.

Serial ini bercerita tentang pesepakbola bernama Tsubasa Oozara, yang bermain bola dengan mata nyalang diikuti gerakan fantastis saat memimpin untuk meraih kemenangan.

"Saya ingat ketika kecil dulu, kami tak bisa menangkap sinyal televisi yang benar-benar bagus, namun semua orang di sekolah membicarakan kartun ini, mengenai sepakbola dari Jepang," katanya

"Waktu itu ada serial Oliver y Benji di Spanyol, sedangkan di Jepang ada Kapten Tsubasa, dan kedua pemain muda ini memulai dari tim muda, lalu ke tim nasional, memenangi Piala Dunia, lalu ke Barcelona dan Bayern Munich, kemudian pindah ke Eropa, jadinya seperti mimpi.

"Saya memulai sepakbola karena ini (kartun Tsubasa), dan karena abang saya memaksa saya, dan saya suka kartun itu," sambungnya dalam laman resmi Chelsea.

"Saya ingin seperti Oliver karena dia bermain gigih dan Benji bermain sebagai penjaga gawang. Itulah kontak pertama saya dengan Jepang."


CHELSEA have arrived in Japan for the Club World Cup -- a tournament Fernando Torres is taking seriously and a place that means a lot to him since it's the birthplace of the animated series Captain Tsubasa.

The series was about a young footballer named Tsubasa Oozora, who ran around with dead-eyed intensity and executed fantastical moves while leading his teams to glory.

"I remember when I was a kid, we couldn't find the signal really well on TV, but everyone in school was talking about this cartoon about football, from Japan,' he explained."

"It was a series called Oliver y Benji in Spain, and in Japan it was Captain Tsubasa, and these two young players started as youth team players, got into the national team, won the World Cup, and moved to Barcelona and Bayern Munich, then moved to Europe, so it was like a dream."

"I started playing football because of this, and because my brother forced me, and I loved the cartoon."

"I wanted to be Oliver, because he played out on the field and Benji was the goalkeeper. That was the first contact I had with Japan."
