Japanese Interview

In what will likely be the last interview Nicolai grants related to his now famous soccer goal (nearly 1.5 million YouTube hits and counting), we were visited this evening by a crew from the Fuji Television Network. They are working on a segment for a TV show called Shiritagari that will air in Japan this Friday afternoon. We have also been contacted by a South Korean network interested in doing a 20-30 minute short documentary piece to be filmed over 3-4 days. Given how time consuming each one of these interviews can be, we have decided to say no to the Korean opportunity. Nicolai is in the thick of the college application process which takes top priority. He has completed applications to 6 schools and plans to add another 6 before he is done. He is also sensitive to the distraction such interviews create to his soccer team when he is filmed at practice or during games. Hopefully life will now return to what passes for normal at the Calabria household.
