Interview with Takuya AOKI

Q: How do you feel about becoming the manager, Albert PUIG ORTONEDA?
A, not quite there yet. I want to align the style of play that is ingrained in me with the style of play that Coach Albert PUIG ORTONEDA demands. Since it has only been 12 days since the team started activities, I want to continue playing while further internalizing it both individually and as a team.

Q: Is it an image of resetting what you have experienced so far?
A, no, I think it is important to continue utilizing what I have done so far while understanding new things within myself and playing accordingly.

Q: I think you often play while using your head, what do you think about that?
A, I understand what the coach is saying, and there are parts where I am able to challenge the play that is being demanded. It is still an early stage, and I believe the expectations will become more specific from now on.

Q: How is your condition heading into the opening match?
A, my body is really tired right now. I can't move at all (laughs). But this is camp, so I want to do my best.

Q: Has your approach to soccer changed in the first and second year since joining?
There are differences in soccer tactics and awareness, but I have played under various coaches so far, and I hope to be able to adapt flexibly.
