Toriyama: "I want to win the Cup this season."

[scoop 3,447]

In a change of heart from last season, Japanese center Keiji Toriyama of the Vasteras Iron Eagles has decided that he plans to win the Continental Cup this season. This marks a new approach from a season ago when Toriyama and the Iron Eagles didn't win the championship because it was his will that it would not be so. For Vasteras fans, Toriyama's decision to win the Cup this season is something to celebrate.

 

The Iron Eagles as a franchise have been terrible, and Toriyama's opposition to bringing home a third championship for the club last season was part of an effort to have the team moved back to Madrid, where they belong.

 

"Nothing is changing as long as we stay in Vasteras. The fans aren't really that great, though we've never really given them much reason to cheer. I just think a change of scenery could do us some good. Perhaps new fanbase could light a fire under us. Although I've decided that we are going to win the Cup this season, I still think relocation is in order."

 

Last season, Keiji Toriyama led a Twitter campaign to spread his message. He called upon his trillions of fans to litter social media with the hashtag #dontdoit. He considers it to have been a success.
