Joe Public to unleash Japanese maestro.
By: Inshan "Flex" Mohammed.

Joe Public became the first club in the T&T professional league to have signed a player from the Asian continent, more-so Japan. On Monday Joe Public signed Mr. Yu Hoshide on a 6-month contract (12-Jul-09 - 31-Dec-09) as they look to strengthen their side in search of some silverware this season.

The Eastern Lions were fruitless last season but are determined to push for every trophy available to them for the remainder of this season.

The former Meiji University player will suit up for the Eastern Lions and will more than likely sport the number 18 jersery, which he likes off course. He could be introduced as early as Public's next game at home against table-propers Tobago United on Saturday July 18th.

The diminutive midfielder played in his native Japan for Kataller Toyama of the JFL from 2000 - 2007 and scored 40 goals from the midfield. In 2008 he headed to the United States and had stints with USL clubs Harrisburg City Islanders and Northern Virginia Royals.

While there he became close friends with our very own Fabien Lewis. The former Naparima College defender who now plies his trade with Real Maryland Monarchs was the one who introduced Mr. Yu to me, who in-turned assisted him in obtaining a trial with the Eastern Lions. Mr. Yu was quite impressive on his first trial with the Pro League title chasers and as a result was offered a short-term contract. It should also be mentioned that Joe Public were very co-operative during the process, particularly Mr. Jack and Daryll Warner.

Hoshide (星出悠), 31, who was born on August 16th, 1977 in the city of Tokyo took some time off to talk with Soca Warriors Online about his ambition and expectation of his new found life.

"I love the way of Joe Public plays soccer. It is simple, but very effective. The style is very close to what I have played in Japan. The team is very well formed and skillfull".

"During my trial with Joe Public I was very impress with JP number 6 (I do not know their names as yet). He does not stand out from the other players, but I have noticed often that he pays very close attention to his position in relation to other players.

I also, noticed that the number 4 player has a very good move on the field. The other players who were impressive were their number 7, 8 and 10. I have paid close attention to their movement on the field and they are very good. They also treated me very nice and welcomed me with open arms."

"I will do my best for the team and hopefully be an asset to help them excel in the league".

Yu Hoshide also touched on his first experience in the Caribbean.

"I choose T&T to play my game because I like pass and skill soccer. I also love the weather, but most of all, the people in Trinidad are very nice. Everybody was so nice to me. I would like to say thank you to Joe Public for providing a very nice place to stay and it was very comfortable".

"I have never been treated this nice during any of my trial period. I would also like to thank the staff for assisting me during the practice sessions so I was able to concentrate on playing soccer".

"As for the food in T&T. I love the food especially the chicken. Trinidad has very tasty and spicy chicken. I would also love to visit the beaches too, but for now, I’d like to concentrate on playing soccer and helping my new team", ended Yu.

Deeks ah find you a bit harsh there,we importing players a long time and Coaches too,this is universal everybody doing it,check the amount of Brazillians,Grenadians,Guyanese,Jamaicans etc etc playing and coaching in T&T.Why we don't have our best players at home is it because other countries import them?

Foreigners are very good for the league because they bring a different style and level of play our locals will only benefit from. They will have to step up and claim their place on the team and they could also learn a different style, not to mention the foreign players have a passion to play football.

This move will benefit Joe Public alot now I am sure they will get more support because everyone will want to see this Japanese player play, the Chinese Association might come to games now because he might relay to them.

I wonder if this is the most high profile player to play in our league ?

Good work Flex.

Yes, you right, but we have 2 problems

1. The players have talent, but they brain dead.

2. Clubs in T&T dont have the structure to improve players at a high level.

When you have players coming to the league who are better than what we have it can only benefit the young wiling players.

Go see the way Willian Da Silva Olliviere from W Connection celebrates his goals, the passion is best. Then go see how Jorsling (for example) does celebrate his goals after scoring and tell me the difference.

T&T players dont have the love for the game. They just making a day work in their minds.

Is there any league in the world who does not have foreign players in it (except Jamaica) as I think they have just one foreign player in their league (Anthony Modeste from Grenada).

The best league in the world have foreign players in it. The EPL is the number one league in the world and they have the most foreign players in it.

Inter won the Seria A and they have the most foreign players in their team.

If we continue to think this way then how will anyone of our foreign base players ever get a chance to grace the best league in the world or to make a decent living.

Come on guys. If a player can bring something new and better to what they have I dont see a problem with it.

After six months we will know how well this Japanese player is.

Its up to the younger players now to learn what they can and step up.

What, Flex a agent now....

Japanese cleared to play for Joe Public

Japanese midfielder Yu Hoshide has received clearance and is available to coach Derek King as Joe Public FC (21 points/10 matches) go for top spot in the Digicel Pro League tonight when they tackle ninth-placed St Ann's Rangers from seven o'clock at the Marvin Lee Stadium (MLS), Macoya.

With leaders San Juan Jabloteh (23 points/11 matches) on a bye, the Eastern Lions will play the game they have in hand on the league leaders and will go top once they see off a Rangers squad which has been struggling of late.

The match is the second of a MLS double-header that will see Defence Force playing what is expected to be a very competitive 5 p.m. opening match against United Petrotrin.

There will be two other matches today in the Digicel Pro League.

Newcomers FC South End take on Tobago United from 4 p.m. at Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva, while at the same time Ma Pau entertain Police at Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar.

And tomorrow, the big clash between third-placed Caledonia AIA (19 points/10 matches) and 2009 Caribbean Club champions W Connection (18 points/10 matches) takes place from 5 p.m. at Ato Boldon Stadium.

One of the attractions for fans tonight at the "Marvin Lee" is the possible appearance of Hoshide, who was not even on the bench for Joe Public on Saturday but is now in contention for a spot after his international transfer was received by the T&T Pro League yesterday.

The 31-year-old Hoshide became the first Japanese to sign with a Pro League club after agreeing to a six-month deal with Joe Public last week.

Hoshide, a former Kataller Toyama player in the Japan Football League (2000-2007), had stints with USL clubs Harrisburg City Islanders and Northern Virginia Royals last season.

Joe Public coach King believes that Hoshide will boost his squad in terms of depth as they attempt to capture the 2009 League Championship, FA Trophy, Toyota Classic and a place in the 2009/2010 CFU Club Championship.

"He (Hoshide) brings some quality to our side," said King. "He is good tactically and technically and to win championships you need depth. We have also brought in T&T Under-20 player Daniel Cyrus to add to the talented Hayden Tinto, Akeil Guevara and Micah Lewis. These are some key players making things happen for us.

"We also have Kerry Baptiste who is leading the goalscorers and a defence that is becoming more and more solid. Players like Keyeno Thomas and Carlyle Mitchell at the back are doing great and to prove this we have only conceded one goal in our last five matches," the coach boasted.

Joe Public won 3-1 against Tobago United on the weekend and will be more confident than ever, having trashed Rangers 3-0 just two weeks ago.

King, in his first official season as head coach of the Lions, will be especially thrilled to take his team top of the league.

He stated that it's great to be in such a position, but with it comes greater challenges.

"It's a good feeling for me personally. But when you're on top it's something harder to maintain. The clubs all come at you...even the smaller ones. So far we are enjoying it but we are aware of the challenges ahead," King said.
