Today, Kunigami Village is unfortunately cloudy. Despite occasional strong winds, we also worked hard on our second division practice today.
"We want to focus on the details and build our own football, and steadily improve. As coach Peter CKLAMOVSKI commented after practice, "We want to improve our physical strength and play accuracy during this camp." In the morning practice, the players were divided into groups to work on physical strengthening through muscle training."
In the breakdown and possession training in front of the goal, many players were involved in the ball with a small number of touches as a detailed check of the attacking side, and the awareness of building up the attack and supporting was increased.
Afternoon practice continued yesterday with a tactical menu in a general non-public setting. The team shared their goal for attacking as a whole.
After the end of practice, we interviewed player number 70, Jája Silva.
Q, This is the first camp for Jean, who joined Tokyo in the middle of last season. How do you feel about your condition?
I am grateful to be able to train in a very good environment. This is my first camp since coming to Japan, but I am feeling very good myself. I am able to train in good condition.
Q, In practical training, we could see plays that showed good condition in various places.
A, I have been preparing myself in my own way to approach this camp in good condition. I also have a feeling that I will continue to improve from here, so I want to make a strong appeal by playing well in training.
Q: Do you have any personal goals or areas you want to improve during this camp?
We will face the tough training during the camp period, both as a team and as individuals. We are conscious of improving our condition and coordination, and aim to be in the best state for the start of the J1 League opening match.
Q, After joining last season, I don't think it was the season that Jean had envisioned. Please tell us again about your feelings for this season.
A, Last season, it took me some time to get used to the team as I joined in the middle of the season and I struggled. I spent a lot of time, but my relationship with my teammates deepened and my understanding of Japanese soccer also deepened. This season, I am only focused on contributing to the team's victory with visible results.
