“I remember talking to my colleague Michael (Olunga) while on national team duty and he was like if you really want to go to Japan and you want a good team, it is Vissel Kobe. It is one of the best teams that has everything from the players to the facilities. I just had a good feeling with the club before I even I joined,” Timbe said.

 

The player further admitted that he watched some of the club games during his time in China and had a good feeling about the side.

 

“When I was in China I remember watching some of the Vissel Kobe games, there is one game I was so impressed about the team and since then I said to myself Kobe is really a good team and then you guys had Iniesta, you also had Lukas [Podolski], and I was always having this feeling it is a good club,” Timbe said during the one-on-one interview recorded by Kobe Online TV,” he said.
