Interview with Kanta Doi
"Move forward without rushing"

Q, I have recovered from my injury and returned to practice for the first time in about 5 months.
A, there was also a time for rehabilitation alone. I am enjoying being able to practice with everyone like this.

Q, I don't think I was able to start my professional career as I wanted. Now that I can join the practice, do you have any thoughts?
A, there was a connection with the top team, such as participating in training last season, and I am gradually becoming aware of myself as a professional player.

Q: This season, both Kota TAWARATSUMIDA and Naoki KUMATA, who were promoted to the top team, have made appearances in official matches. How does player Doi perceive the current situation?
There is absolutely no impatience or anything like that.

Q: What differences do you feel in terms of training and content between your time in the academy and now that you have been promoted to the top team?
I also feel a significant difference in speed, intensity of play, and depth when changing direction (where the ball is placed).

Q: Please tell us again about the characteristics of your play.
A, I am confident in both short and long passes and build-up play.

Q: What kind of training will you accumulate in order to participate in official matches in the future?
A, I think that physical fitness will be the basis. I don't think I will lose to other players in terms of physical contact, but I want to build a body that can compete against foreign players and players with particularly high physical abilities. I want to build up my physical strength through training in areas such as stamina.

Q, please tell us your enthusiasm for the future.
I am aiming to participate in the Levain Cup, which is scheduled for May or June. I will work hard to build my body and strive to participate in the J1 League during this season.

Q, there are many fans and supporters who have been supporting us since our academy days. Finally, I would like to ask all of you for a message.
A, I injured myself in November of last season and finally returned. I will do my best to show you my energetic play. Thank you for your support.
