Q, I think we showed a good performance in the Iwata match, but how do you feel looking back on the game?
A, I also looked back at the footage, but there are still many challenges. In the second half, there was a scene where I stopped the ball once and then stopped it again for the second time, but I think that by moving my teammates before that, we could have eliminated the pinch itself. I think that I have to be conscious of not only my own saving, but also such things in the future.
Q, can you look back on those two consecutive saves?
A, I closed the distance while erasing the course. However, I have a sense that the way I stopped is not ideal for me. If I had stopped in a different way, I could have made it a corner kick and still haven't achieved the performance I desire. I need to train more in that aspect.
Q, including the preseason, you seem to be in very good condition. How do you feel about it?
A, the condition is good. I think I have been able to train well since the camp, so I am always ready to play in the game. I think I can compete with Kodama and Slowik at a high level, so I want to improve my condition more so as not to lose to them. I think the goalkeeper position is a position where chances come suddenly, so I always have to be prepared to play in the game.
Q, does Swobik also have a burning part when he sees his great performance?
A, I also have that feeling, but I have been watching Lin player perform at a high level in matches since the first year, and that situation hasn't changed. However, I am of course frustrated that I didn't get to play this season after playing in matches last season. I always want to be a presence that can protect FC Tokyo's goal, so I want to keep going without giving up.
Q, what do you think is the role you need to fulfill on the pitch when you seize the chance?
In terms of build-up play, I am confident and hope to create a good rhythm when I have the ball. In terms of coaching, I want to give more specific instructions and move my teammates.
Q, I think the part that is required of the goalkeeper has changed since becoming coach Albert. What kind of efforts have you made so far in that regard?
I think the required part is simple. So, I can play without thinking too much and I am thinking about the team circulating well because if the goalkeeper does something noticeable in the possession part, it will disrupt the team's rhythm.
Q, I think we are in a situation where we are hungry for the game now, so I want to continue to appeal.
I have a desire to express myself by playing in the game, so I always try to show that feeling in practice and want to demonstrate a play that conveys that emotion.
