Q: I have returned from injury and it has been about 5 months since I returned to practice.
During rehabilitation, there were times when I was alone. Now, I am enjoying being able to practice together with everyone like this.
Q: I don't think I was able to start my professional life as I had hoped. Now that I have joined the practice, do you have any thoughts on this?
A, although you participated in practice last season and had some involvement with the top team, you are gradually becoming aware of yourself as a professional player.
Q: This season, Kota TAWARATSUMIDA and Naoki KUMATA, who were both promoted to the top team, have made their official match appearances. How do you perceive the current situation yourself, Dohi?
A, there is absolutely no impatience or anything like that.
Q: What differences do you feel in training and content compared to your time in the academy now that you have achieved promotion to the top team?
A, I feel a significant difference in the sense of speed, the intensity of play, and the depth when changing direction (where the ball is placed).
Q: Could you tell us again about the characteristics of your play?
A, confident in both short and long passes and build-up play.
Q: What kind of training will you continue to undertake in order to participate in official matches in the future?
A, I believe building physical strength is the foundation. I don't think I will easily lose physical confrontations against other players, but I want to develop a body that can compete against foreign players and others with particularly high physical abilities. As for stamina and other aspects, I intend to steadily build them up through training from now on.
Q: Please share your enthusiasm for the future.
Our immediate goal is to participate in the Levain Cup scheduled for May and June. From here, I will work hard to build my body properly and aim to play in the J1 League during this season.
Q: There are many fans and supporters who have been cheering for you since your academy days. Finally, please give a message to everyone.
A, I got injured last November during the previous season and have finally returned. I will do my best so that everyone can see me playing energetically. Thank you for your support.
