-It was my first time facing Premier League teams and Premier League players.

▶For sure, I felt that strength and smartness were definitely different. But I have to win because the team is comfortable. I think that's why I worked hard.

-How are you feeling? I don't have a full-time participation yet.




▶First of all, I'm not sure if I'm in a good condition to play full time or not. It may be because I haven't run before. But I definitely feel that my body has gotten better little by little. I think that's why the coach keeps increasing the playing time and taking care of his body.

-It's a pity that I couldn't be selected for the national team.

▶It's the director's decision. I'm thinking that if I work hard silently in my place, they'll pick me one day.

▶The return process was a little difficult, but when I took a break, I just thought 'I gave up this season' and took a break.That's why I was able to stay more comfortable. It would have been even harder if I had felt like, 'I'm going to come back.' I just said, 'I'm not going to play this season. I should prepare well for the next season.'I think I did it comfortably with the mindset of '.

-Should I say it was a difficulty to jump even more vigorously?

▶Many people say that. I think that process was good, too. So I'm preparing really well right now. My knees still hurt sometimes. Everyone is telling me that I need to adjust to that. That's why I think I'm getting used to it, too.
