<h2>I will never play the same game as my &#8220;big brother.</h2>
 Manager Kazuki Inoue, 53, who took over from Kazuyoshi Tachinami, 55, the former manager of the Central League team that finished last in the Central League for the third consecutive year, has declared that he will &#8220;turn away from the Internet news.

 At a pep rally for the 2025 season held in Nagoya City, manager Inoue suddenly declared, &#8220;Once the season starts, I will not watch YouTube or Internet news even if we are winning! I will not watch YouTube or Internet news once the season starts, even if we are winning! The participants were talking about how he could really do such a thing.

 The reason behind this &#8220;blocking&#8221; declaration was actually the painful experience of former director Tatsunami, who is Inoue&#8217;s older brother.
 Tatsunami is not a digital native, but after becoming a manager, he became immersed in ego-searching on the Internet. For Tatsunami, who had walked the elite path of PL Gakuen, Chunichi, and commentator, being teased by the netizens all at once was an anomaly. People around him were concerned, saying, &#8220;There is nothing good about &#8230;&#8230;,&#8221; but Mr. Tatsunami fell into the ego-sucking swamp.
 Even people who are familiar with the Internet would get sick if they were slandered in succession. Mr. Tachinami, a beginner in egosahi, must have been quite shocked. At one point, he was so distressed that he could not sleep at night.

 It must have been a big deal for Inoue, who had watched his older brother suffer as a &#8220;disciple. No wonder he thought he would be the next target.
 For the past 10 years since his retirement, Inoue has been active as a critic on Nagoya TV, radio, and newspaper media, as well as a commentator on information programs. He has been a great help to me, and I have told the players, &#8216;You have to take good care of the TV, radio, and newspapers! He is also an active commentator on radio and newspaper media.
 On the other hand, he also has a modern sensibility and knows how to use TikTok. His understanding of digital technology is very different from former director Tatsunami&#8217;s. That is why he is so happy and sad about the Internet news. That is probably why he was able to understand that it is meaningless to be happy or sad about online news and made the decision to shut it off.
 The team staff, who support Inoue, kept the information to a minimum so that he would not be in a state of &#8220;Urashima Taro. The team staff, who provide close support for Inoue, are required to provide the minimum amount of information so that he does not become &#8220;Urashima Taro,&#8221; while at the same time taking into consideration the wishes of the team leader and avoiding unnecessary information.
 The first step in reforming a bottom-ranked team is a battle between the leader and the temptation of ego-searching.
