[Albion] Mitoma's New Book - Visions

[North Carolina Supporter]

Understanding Kaoru Mitoma's approach to football through his new book

The Brighton winger is in sensational form again this season and has written a book explaining the steps he took to become a world-beater

theathletic.com

"Although aimed mainly at children with dreams, it is proving popular with readers of all ages in Japan, where 18-cap Mitoma is a household name.

Summaries of the book translated into English by publishing company Futabasha for The Athletic highlight the techniques and attitudes which are enabling Mitoma to fulfil his dreams with Brighton."

The Albion still seem to have very little idea of the cultural phenonenon that has more or less landed in their laps. It's like we signed the Far East equivalent of Messi, Ronaldo and George Best all rolled into one. Where's the thousand pre-printed Mitoma 22 shirts in the club shop for starters? They'd absolutely fly out of the shop. Ditto online sales

And they could probably open a club shop in central Tokyo selling only Mitoma shirts and within days realise they need a bigger shop .... (but they would need ... ahem ... shirts)

Agreed. He could be our highest earner and fully justify the outlay purely based on the amount of commercial revenue brought to the club. That doesn't begin to mention what he offers on the pitch too.

Get that man a new contract.

To be fair, when I went into the shop the other week, there were two options of scarf: one a plan blue and white bar one, the other with MITOMA 22 on it. There were loads of them and I reckon they FLY so fast out of the door they'd put Concorde to shame.
