"Sponichi"Machida offered an annual salary of 300 million yen (about 2.8 billion won) as he competed with Portuguese and Dutch clubs for recruitment. This is the highest annual salary among Japanese fullbacks."
Nakayama is a left-footed left-back and is a multi-player who can play various positions such as center back and defensive midfielder. He grew up in Thorns and Antlers and has played in the Netherlands (Z-Bowler) and England (Huddersfield) since 2019. Nakayama, who became an FA this summer, decided to return to the J-League for the first time in six years.

Machida is known to be a close club that actively utilizes Korean players as a team promoted to the J League this season. Three players, including Na Sang-ho and Oh Se-hoon, a national team player, and Jang Min-gyu, a defender proven on the Japanese stage, will play as a member of Machida. As of the 26th round, Machida is leading the way with 15 wins, 5 draws, 6 losses and 50 points. He is aiming to win the promotion season in J-League history. Prior to Nakayama, he strengthened his second term by recruiting Japanese national winger Yuki Soma from Nagoya.
Winger Na Sang-ho, who moved from FC Seoul to Machida this year, has two goals and one assist in 16 J-League games, and left-footed striker Oh Se-hoon has been on loan to Machida as a member of Shimizu S-Pulse, recording six goals and one assist in 21 games. Main center back Jang Min-gyu suffered a three-month collarbone fracture in June and has been absent for a long time.
