Q: How is the condition as the camp is coming to an end?
A, I'm quite tired, but my condition is improving, so I want to keep pushing myself further.
Q: How do you feel about the new style?
A, I think that if the completion level improves, it will become enjoyable soccer to play and watch. It's difficult, but I want to continue because I can absorb various things from practice every day.
Q, how would you express a new style in words?
A, speaking of overseas, I think it is similar to the football played by Manchester City. I think it is a playing style where we firmly control the ball and dominate the game for 90 minutes.
Q, is that penetration progressing?
A, compared to the first day, the accuracy has gradually improved in this camp, so if we continue this, the completion level will also increase, but the accuracy is still insufficient, so we must continue to make efforts every day.
Q: Where would you like to see Konno's characteristics demonstrated within the team's tactics?
A, I think I can utilize my dribbling skills in that aspect because it is required to build up from the back and connect firmly, and the wide players are expected to be positioned on the sides and make moves as a basic principle.
Q, there were many scenes of cut-ins even in practice matches.
A, yes. It is also a play that I am good at, and I think it is being demanded, so I want to connect it to assists and goals from there.
Q, the season starts immediately after the camp ends.
A, since my condition is not yet 100%, I want to gradually increase it and also take good care of myself to avoid injuries as I am a little fatigued. As my ability to make plays on the side is my biggest strength, I will work on improving my agility and ball control.
Since everyone is quite tired (lol), I hope to rest well after the camp and switch gears towards the opening.
