Q, What do you think about the performance shown in the Iwata match, looking back on the game?
A, I also looked back at the footage, but there are still many challenges. In the second half, there was a scene where I stopped once and then stopped again, but I think we were able to eliminate the pinch itself by moving our teammates before that. I think we need to be aware of not just our own savings, but also do that in the future.
Q, can you look back on those two consecutive saves?
A, I closed the distance while erasing the course. However, I have a feeling that the way I stopped was not ideal for me. If I had stopped in a different way, I could have made it my ball instead of a corner kick, and I still think I haven't performed as I would like. I need to train more in that area.
Q, How do you feel about your condition, including the pre-season?
A, my condition is good. I think I have been able to train well since the camp, so I am always ready to play in the game. I also think that I am competing at a high level with Kodama and Slowik, so I want to improve my condition even more so that I won't lose to them. I think the goalkeeper position is a position where chances come suddenly, so I always have to be ready to play in the game.
Q, Does watching SLOWIK's amazing performance also ignite something in you?
A, there is also that feeling, but I have been watching Hayashi player playing in high performance since the first year, and the situation has not changed even now. However, I am of course frustrated that I was able to play in the game last season but not this season, and I always want to be a presence that can defend FC Tokyo's goal, so I want to keep going without losing.
Q, What role do you think you have to play on the pitch when you seize the chance?
In terms of build-up, I am confident in my play, so I hope to create a good rhythm when I have the ball. In terms of coaching, I want to give more specific instructions and be able to move my teammates.
Q, What kind of efforts have you made so far regarding the parts that are required of you as a goalkeeper since becoming coach Albert PUIG ORTONEDA?
A, I think the required part is simple. So, I can play without thinking too hard, and I am thinking about the team's circulation because if the goalkeeper stands out in the possession part, the team's rhythm will be disrupted.
Q, I think we are in a situation where we are hungry for this game, so I want to continue to appeal.
I have a desire to express myself in the game, so I want to always show that in practice and play in a way that conveys that feeling.
