Reporter: Nagoya coach Kenta Hasegawa is suspected of bullying and asked the Japan Football Association to intervene in the matter
6686 Sports, November 6th Today, Danilo Selvadei, an English website All-Asia football reporter, wrote an article on the website, severely criticizing the bad behavior of the team led by the Japanese professional league Nagoya Whales coach Kenta Hasegawa, and asked the Japan Football Association to intervene and investigate the matter.
Danilo wrote: "Kenta Hasegawa stayed in Nagoya not because people believed he could eventually regain control of the situation. He stayed there simply because he was expected to continue coaching, and simply because he had tremendous power. This power went far beyond the scope of an ordinary football coach and almost pushed him to a monarch-like status."
"It has been reported that Kenta Hasegawa abused his power frequently, some even He was threatened with being banned from the team's away games if he did not comply with his instructions. The accusations were serious, and insiders told me that this abuse of power was occurring on a daily basis. I was later given the names of several former Nagoya players who were said to have suffered from depression. To maintain their privacy, I cannot reveal their names."
"In fact, several former colleagues revealed to me that this was a case of abuse. The coach treats Japanese players very differently from non-Japanese players, and he is even said to have asked the club not to bring in foreign players because they did not obey his orders. Almost all foreign players have left Nagoya, which confirms the above accusation. Following the situation in Nagoya, I am shocked and almost outraged by the heroic statements made by some of Kenta Hasegawa's former colleagues. This once glorious team in Nagoya is now gone, and I am writing this condemnation to call on the J-League or the Japan Football Association to intervene in this matter. The J-League and the Japan Football Association must take action and cannot turn a blind eye, because the Hasegawa incident is just the latest in a series of abuses that have occurred in Japanese football in the past."
