Q: How would you like to be addressed by fans and supporters?
I have been called Jaja since I was a child, so please call me Jaja.
Q: How is your current condition?
A, there was a bit of a gap after the league matches with my previous club ended. I have been training individually until joining Tokyo, but today (July 30) was my first time training with the whole team. My condition is about 70 percent. I want to improve it from here.
Q: What did Coach Klamovski convey to you?
From Coach Klamovski, I was jokingly told, "I just came to Tokyo too (laughs)." Including a simple orientation, I talked with the coach shortly after arriving in Japan.
Q, please tell us about your strong points.
A, I have played as a left winger until now. I specialize in plays with speed, such as cutting inside for shots and dribbling breakthroughs. I want to show fans and supporters my best possible performance.
Q: Please tell us again why you chose the Tokyo club.
A, the decision to transfer to Tokyo was not that difficult. I had already heard about the Japanese soccer style and culture from Brazilian players who were playing in Japan. As soon as I received the offer, I decided to transfer to Tokyo.
Q: What have you heard from Brazilian players who are already playing in Japan?
A, FOGUINHO, who plays for Vegalta Sendai, has a friendship with Sandro, who previously played for Renofa Yamaguchi FC, and I had heard that Japan is a good country, and Japanese people are serious and hardworking. I thought that in Japan, I could play in a calm environment. Although there are some differences in culture and customs, I believe Japan is a very good environment.
Q: There are many Brazilian players in Tokyo. Isn't it reassuring for player Jaja?
A, I feel very encouraged and supported. I have received various pieces of advice. What remains especially in my heart is the story that if you can work hard from training, someone will surely help you. I want to put my feelings into it and do my best to succeed.
Q: Please give a message to the fans and supporters.
A, I will do my best to contribute to the team. I want to work together with my teammates to achieve the goals we have set.
