Q: Please tell us your honest feelings about joining Tokyo and what goals you have set.
I am very happy to have joined Tokyo. I want to do my best to demonstrate my full potential and work together with everyone to achieve the team's goals. I also hope to play in Japan for as long as possible and make a name for myself.
Q: How would you like to be addressed by fans and supporters?
A, I have been called Jaja since I was young, so please call me Jaja.
Q: How is your current condition?
A, there was a bit of a gap after the league matches of the club I was previously with ended. I had been training individually until joining Tokyo, but today (July 30) was my first time training with the team. My condition is about 70 percent. I want to improve from here.
Q: What did Coach Klamovski convey to you?
A, Coach CKLAMOVSKI joked, "I just arrived in Tokyo too (laughs)." Including a brief orientation, I spoke with the coach shortly after arriving in Japan.
Q, please tell us about your strong points.
A, until now, I have played as a left winger. I excel at shooting from cut-ins, dribbling breakthroughs, and playing at speed. I want to show all the fans and supporters my utmost performance.
Q: Please tell us again why you chose the Tokyo club.
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 are already 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 have heard that Japan is a good country where the Japanese 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?
I am very encouraged and supported. I have received various pieces of advice. What particularly stands out to me is the story that if you work hard in training, someone will definitely help you. I want to put my heart into it and do my best to succeed.
Q: Please give a message to the fans and supporters.
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.
