adidas f50 | Shinji vs Shunsuke

 

Japanese stars Shiji Kagawa and Shunsuke Nakamura have been filming with adidas in their homeland during the off season, the Manchester United winger has been taking some free-kick advice from his legendary countryman and in return has hooked Nakamura up with some tips on dribbling in a light hearted training session.

Nakamura is regarded as one of Japan's most successful players of all time, enjoying spells at Celtic, Espanyol and scoring 24 goals for his country. Now aged 35 Nakamura is plying his trade at Yokohama F. Marinos and it's fair to say he's still got it, effortlessly sweeping free-kicks into the top bin, much to the amusement of Kagawa!





Kagawa and Nakamura, who both wear the adidas f50, swap tips on receiving the ball and beating a defender with the training session ending with Kagawa asking Nakamura to teach him how to take free kicks before the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Banterific loveliness all round. Top men.





A big season lies ahead for Kagawa under new manager Moyes at United and as for Nakamura, the boy can do no wrong, he's already a Japanese legend. Join the conversation online, on Twitter and on Facebook.
