Sekine "I have to use it as a trigger"
On the 28th, after the match against Shonan Bellmare in Round 12 of the Meiji Yasuda Life J1 League, Takahiro Sekine talked about his team's victory and his first J1 League game and two goals.
(Sekine's two goals also led to the victory, and I think the match as a whole ended with a good response?)
“The players in front of us weren’t able to score goals, and I thought we had to score multiple goals, so I’m glad that we were able to get good results today.”
(For the first goal, you scored a goal by dodging two opponents?)
“In the end, I hit the ball with all my might, but in the process before that, I was able to receive the ball in a good position, and I was able to play with the opponent and let the two slide. I think I was able to play calmly. ”
(I think it's going to be a difficult time for the environment, but isn't Sekine doing well to go against it?)
“For me, I thought I was in good shape before I scored the goal. I feel lighter, and I think I've been able to show a better attitude toward the goal."
(Before scoring the goal, there was a scene where Atsuki Ito took a shot even though he was free. How did you feel at that time?)
“I thought he was serious (laughs).
(Did you talk to Ito after that play?)
"We talked. He looked amazing. He looked like he was sorry."
(After scoring the second goal, there was also a scene where you were offside while shaking the goal net?)
"Intuitively, I thought it was a little out, and I thought it was offside."
(In the past few games, you've had good sharpness, and there were many plays in the last pass that could have resulted in a goal.
“I’ve become able to take a good position, and I’m conscious of going forward. Even if I’m in a tough position, I’m trying to force myself to face forward, hit the forward, and then move on to the third player. I'm conscious of that kind of play, so I think the number of times I can get in front of the goal is increasing."
(I think the contribution from the front line was also high?)
“From the first half, we were all able to steal from the front, and the players behind us were following us, so the players in front were also helpful.”
(How was the second point?)
“For the second goal, we developed a good attack on the right side, and (Hiroki) Sakai pulled the opponent’s back line with a sprint that made us wonder, ‘Why are you there? (Tomoaki) Okubo also gave me a good ball, so I just made sure not to let it go.”
(In the previous match against Kawasaki Frontale, Okubo's cross was met with a header while colliding with the goalkeeper, but if there is a player pulling in front, the space behind them will become a chance.)
“I think I was aiming for that spot on purpose. There were many scenes where it happened to be vacant and I came by chance, but the players who raise the cross and the players who run are more likely to go towards the space than the people. , I think they are putting it in with more momentum.”
(I think it's the first time in the J1 league that he scored two goals in one match. What do you think about that?)
“There aren’t many chances to score a hat-trick, and the manager (Maciej Skorza) was pulling the ball without replacing him, so I wanted to respond to that.”
(Did the greedy scene of a hat-trick come out in the scene where he forcibly struck a shot even though there was an opponent in front of him?)
"It came out. I don't know if it was good."
(Manager Maciej and coach Rafas Janas, who held a press conference the other day, said, ``I'm trying to get closer to the goal where I can shoot,'' but did you shoot well in this game?)
“Because I was able to steal the ball with a positive attitude, I think there have been more occasions like that. Until now, even when I was able to steal a little more, I would have dropped down to the middle third and loosened the pressure, but today everyone is playing from the front. I think we were able to score more shots because we had a lot of short counters.”
(Shinzo Koroki 's first goal gave the team momentum?)
"Koroki 's goal was great, but before that, Iwao's wonderful pass made Ohata (Ayumu) unable to play in the match, so I'm grateful that he made the most of this chance. We've been playing together since last season, so I knew how good Ohata was, and I think we had a good start.
(What about winning 4-1 after drawing three games in a row and not losing but somehow feeling bad?)
"It's frustrating to think about the draw, and I feel like I missed it, but I think we have to use it as an opportunity to build up new victories from here."
