Japanese international Jeongru Kima is the core of Sao Pauli, he still dreams of going to the Premier League

Hupu reported on October 8 that Nina Bethge, a reporter from the German media Bild, wrote a St. Pauli column.

Before the first pass, 23-year-old Fujita Joe Chima always steps onto the court barefoot. St. Pauli bought Fujita from St. Turden for 3.5 million euros, and he did so to keep his feet on the ground, feel the pitch, resonate with it and absorb its energy.

This is as special as his playing style. The four-time Japan representative has played an important role as St. Pauli's playmaker in midfield.

Fujita participated in all seven official games. St. Pauli coach Alexander Blessing said that he "has perfect condition and is very beneficial to us."

Fujita formed a double midfielder with James Sands (25 years old) and performed very well. This will be a real challenge for captain Jackson Irving (32 years old), who is recovering from foot surgery, to reoccupy his position.

However, Blessing said there is "still untapped potential." Fujita has a strong running ability, running 11.3 kilometers every 90 minutes, and his passing success rate is as high as 83%. His strength is defense; he's good at blocking space.

However, his confrontation success rate is only 44%, which is not high. He also needs to improve his goal threat: in Sint-Truiden, he only scored one goal in 63 official games; in the Bundesliga, he only had three shots on goal.

In the 2-0 derby victory over Hamburg, his assist was impressive.

The international player, whose mother is Japanese and father is Nigerian, has set high goals for himself. He said he dreams of entering the Premier League. At St. Pauli Football Club, he "first wanted to help his team avoid relegation." If possible, he added: "If possible, I would like to play in the Europa League."
