Q: Finally, it's the opening. You mentioned that you were enjoying the current football during the Okinawa camp, are you still enjoying it as we approach the opening?
I think we will continue to grow by playing more games and experiencing various irregularities. I feel this every day. As we play, we will definitely face challenges, so I believe it is important to cherish and do our best in each game.
Q: Is it possible to discuss within the team about adjustments when things don't go well during the 90 minutes?
A, there are also many experienced players. The final decision must be made by the 11 players on the pitch with confidence, and it will not work well without the parts the coach demands and individual ideas. I think it is important to do that well and I want to do it while enjoying it.
Q, it's also exciting to have Kawasaki Frontale as the opponent for the opening match.
A, Kawasaki Frontale is a team that has a well-established tactical system and has won the league consecutively, so I want to face challenges and grow by hitting the wall as a challenger.
Q, how do you approach positional play?
A coach who values the ball wants to take the right position while considering the situation and time. If you don't take the right position, you won't be able to pass the ball. So, instead of just thinking about the position you want to receive, you need to consider the balance of the entire team. I want to do it while considering the balance of the team and functioning well.
Q, does the final finish require an idea?
A, while taking care of the ball, there are times when you have to go all out for the finish. I want to be able to position myself well while building up in a way that allows me to enter the attacking zone.
