Kojima Update
Bread Club leader Satoshi Kojima took to Twitter to laud the resilience of New Japan Young Lion Shota Umino. Umino went nearly 15 minutes in a punishing match with Daisuke Sekimoto and was still smiling the next day.
Training, end. I encountered Shota Unno. Last night’s game was “licked”, Shota said with a (^ ^) smile. You must be strong!! You can play with Daisuke Sekimoto and smile the next day. Hang on, ‼️.
トレーニング、終了。
海野翔太と遭遇。
昨夜の試合を「コテンパンにされました(^ ^)」と笑顔で語った翔太。
君は必ず強くなる！！
あの関本大介君と試合して、翌日笑顔でいられるなら大丈夫。
頑張れよ‼️
