Скачать или смотреть [JAPAN] Mike Havenaar Tribute - Samurai Blue

First, the background music is by ONE OK ROCK - "Clarity"...; thanks for letting me use the music.


This video is dedicated to Mr. Mike Havenaar - one of Japan's most hopeful Soccer Players. Mike was born in Hiroshima, Japan to Dutch immigrants. Dido Havenaar, his father, was invited to come to Japan as a professional soccer coach. Dido and his lovely wife had two sons in Japan and since they were growing up as "Japanese," the parents have decided to become Japanese citizens, too, for Japan is beautiful, peaceful, and innovative.

The Dutch-Japan alliance is nothing new; the tie between these two nations goes back centuries and it is one of the oldest in the world.
For instance, until American Commodore Perry came to Japan in 1853, Samurais only spoke Dutch. In any rate, Mike may look Dutch outside but his soul is "Japanese." Like many immigrants to Japan, they are ready to sacrifice their lives for the motherland if needed.

Mike's Soccer career has been going well. He was selected for the Japan U-20 squad to compete 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada. In 2011, Mike was part of Japan's training squad; he debuts that year as a 70th-minute substitute against North Korea in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier match.
Mike scored his first-ever goals for the national team, against Tajikistan on 11 Oct 2011 in the same competition. Japan won the game 8–0. Mike also participated in FIFA Confederations Cup 2013 coming on as a substitute and playing a total of 11 minutes in the competition. He is proving himself that he is one of the key players. Best of luck to Mike!
