[15] On 21 March 2015, Uchida stated his intention to continue playing in South America as the continent has a better level of football than his country.

Uchida could not speak much Spanish and visited Paraguayan newspaper ABC Color to inform the difficulty he was living due to his agent, Kazunori Sato, who abandoned the player.

[16] "During the five months of contract with Santaní, I haven't been able to receive my salaries and despite my requests of help from Mr. Sato, he only responds to me evasively, which is why I feel abandoned on my luck."
