Q, Please tell us your honest feelings about joining Tokyo and what goals you have set for yourself.
I am very happy to be able to join Tokyo. I will do my best to use all of my abilities and work together with everyone to achieve the team's goals. Also, I want to play in Japan for as long as possible and leave my mark.
Q, What would you like to be called by the fans and supporters?
Since I have been called Jaja since I was young, please call me Jaja.
Q, how is your current condition?
A, it has been a while since the end of the league season for the club I used to belong to. I have been training individually until joining Tokyo, but today (July 30th) was the first time training as a team. My condition is about 70 percent. I want to improve from here.
Q, What did Coach Peter CKLAMOVSKI tell you?
From coach Peter CKLAMOVSKI, he joked, "I just arrived in Tokyo too (laughs)." We talked at the timing when I just arrived in Japan, including a simple orientation.
Q, please tell us your strong points.
A, I have played on the left wing so far. I am good at shooting from cut-ins, dribbling and playing with speed. I want to show the fans and supporters my best performance.
Q, Please tell us again why you chose the club called Tokyo.
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 already playing in Japan. As soon as I received the offer, I decided to transfer to Tokyo.
Q, What did you hear from Brazilian players who are already playing in Japan?
FOGUINHO, who plays for Vegalta Sendai, has a friendship with SANDRO, who used to play for Renofa Yamaguchi FC. I heard that Japan is a good country and Japanese people are serious and hardworking. I thought I could play in a calm environment in Japan. Although there may be some cultural and habitual differences, I think Japan is a very good environment.
Q, There are also many Brazilian players in Tokyo. Isn't it reassuring for Jaja player?
A, I am very grateful and helped. I also received various advice. What remains in my heart is the story that if I work hard in training, someone will definitely help me. I want to put my heart into it and do my best to succeed.
Q, please give a message to all the fans and supporters.
I will do my best to contribute to the team. I want to work together with my teammates to achieve our goals.
