Interview with Yasuki KIMOTO

Q: How was the morning practice on the first day of the camp?
AFrom the first day, everyone seems to be motivated and we are able to have practices that show our enthusiasm for the season.

Q, Was there a sense of tension?
A, no, there was laughter even in the right amount of tension, and I was able to do it while enjoying it a little, but the coach is someone who firmly does what needs to be done, so I think I was able to do that properly.

Q: How would you describe the atmosphere among the players, including yourself?
A, because of my personality, I don't feel like I can blend in immediately, so I haven't blended in yet, but I hope to gradually be able to talk with everyone.

Q, what would you like to be called by fans and supporters?
I'm called "Yasu" by everyone, but "Kimoto" is also fine, something like that (laughs)

Q: Please tell us your impression of the coach, there was also a meeting before practice.
A, while joking, there is an impression of doing what needs to be done. The training format is also determined, so it is easy to do.

Q, I felt that today's practice had characteristics such as speed and tempo.
A, as a coach who has experienced various teams, he demands a high level in practice and I feel that I can grow in that sense.

Q: Please tell us about the play you want to show this season.
A, the build-up from the back is one of the team's characteristics, and it is also my own characteristic to value the ball, so I would like you to see it as an area where I want to continue to grow.

Q: Please tell us the goals of the Kunigami Camp.
First, I want to understand the coach's desired concept and the flow of practice, and also be conscious of communicating well not only in soccer but also in other areas, and make an effort to make myself known.
