I am honestly happy that my goal was chosen as the BEST-STA goal. I would like to thank my teammates, staff, and all the fans and supporters, especially Maeda, who assisted me. In that moment, I was able to take the shot confidently, and I scored with the trajectory I had envisioned. From now on, I want to score as many good goals as possible that contribute to the team's victories.
