On the afternoon of March 12, Beijing time, the Japanese J-League continued, in which the promotion horse Kyoto Undead Bird challenged Shonan Bima away, and finally the two sides drew 1-1. In this match, the goal for the Kyoto undead bird is the 38-year-old Nigerian player Uttaka, who has scored three goals in four rounds since the start of the new season and is currently leading the top scorers of the Japanese league, it is worth mentioning that he is already a 38-year-old veteran.
Speaking of Uttaca, a player, I believe that many Chinese Super League fans have had an impression. Utaka, from Nigeria, is also a veteran of the Chinese Super League, who has played for Dalian Renren, Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Shenxin Domestic Club. In 44 games for Dalian, Wucata scored 27 goals and had six assists, making his performance remarkable.
When he joined, Utaka was actually over 30 years old, which was a downward trajectory. After leaving the Chinese league, Uttaca did not choose to return to China, and joined the team next door to the Japanese league. Although more often than not, Utaka only plays for Japan's second division, he still maintains good efficiency.
Last season, Utaka helped Kyoto Undead Bird upgrade successfully, and he scored 21 goals this season, which is the team's thigh. After coming to Japan's top flight, the 38-year-old Utaka is still not old. In the first round of the Kyoto Undead Bird vs Urawa Red Diamonds, Uttaka scored the winning goal to knock out last season's King's Cup winner.
Such an age can still have such a performance, even the AFC official sent congratulations to Uttaca. Utaka's astonishment is not only the first round of the league. In the third round of the league, Utaka scored with one less player on the team, at one point chasing the score close to 1-2, almost giving the team hope of a draw. In this round, Utaka scored in the second half, and the African Eagles, who had a one-handed chance, penetrated the goalkeeper's small goal to help kyoto's undead birds lead for a while. Unfortunately, Uccata alone, except for the first round of the game to help the team win, the rest of the time can not win.
Although jd.com's undead bird's performance is not good, Utaka can be described as a completely horizontal walk in the Japanese J-League. In 4 league rounds, he scored 3 goals and currently leads the top scorers list. It's hard to imagine that a 38-year-old player can lead the top scorer list of a country's top league, knowing that he is just a player worth only 25W euros, only one in 10 of Wu Lei.
Not only Wu Lei, but probably any player in China dare not say that he can occupy the top spot in the Japanese J League top scorer list at the peak of his state, let alone 38 years old. From this point of view, we really have to ask these veterans who have had experience in the Chinese Super League in the past.
