Crazy news from Japan. J-Leagu's FC Tokyo, who are scheduled to play against Vissel Kobe sides this weekend, announced real crazy trick they indend to produce. While hearing that Vissel’s superstar Andres Iniesta will miss the game against their side after being allowed to fly back to Spain for family reason, Tokyo side hire ex-Barcelona legend impersonator to use him during upcoming football event. The reason behind such bizarre decision is will of FC Tokyo to represent Iniesta to their public in any cost because the arrival of Spaniard in J-league hugely bolstered the ticket sales. No joke – Japanese media Sport Hochi reported that tickets for upcoming fixture been sold-out (for a first time in 3 years) so the complete absence of man that crowd wants the most is absolutely unacceptable. Thankfully they have that man:
We just wonder how crazy it is but won’t be surprised if the trick will be successful. Hopefully they won’t allow impersonator to start in midfield for Vissel
- Real Andres Iniesta is set to return for Vissel on August 11th
- Spaniard joined Japanese side this summer and made only 1 J-League appearance so far
