[Tsutomu Nishino TD]
“Hello everyone. I’m Nishino, the technical director. It took me a while today, but I’m very happy to introduce you to the player with the number 9 uniform, which I said was the last piece. I’m looking forward to it as one of the major driving forces of the season. I’m Bryan Linssen, who joined from Feyenoord. Today, I would like to take your time and answer various questions with myself and myself. I think so, thank you. “
[Bryan Linssen]
“Thank you (all in Japanese). I’m Brian. Nice to meet you.”
[質疑応答]
(I have a question for Linssen. I think you are participating in the training, but what is your impression of the team?)
“I had heard a lot of club rumors in the Netherlands before I came here. All the rumors I heard were positive. Especially, I heard from Maya Yoshida and got positive information. I was also very impressed when the Reds got interested. I participated in the training yesterday and today and I think they are all of good quality and have good players. Enough to win. I think that the strength is in place.
(I have a question for Linssen. Why was the uniform number decided to be 9?)
“I’ve gained confidence as a striker at Feyenoord last year and I’ve had some results. I thought I needed number 9 to play with confidence as a striker.”
(I have a question for Nishino TD. Is it possible to participate in the Shimizu S-Pulse match on the 16th following Linssen’s registration is completed?)
“Registration will be completed tomorrow, to be exact.”
(I have a question for Nishino TD. When I looked at the member list this season, I think many people felt that the number of players who might play on the front line was small, but Linssen wanted to get it in January if possible. Or did you decide that you want it at this timing as you fight?)
“It’s a difficult question. I’ve been chasing since last summer. I had a difficult decision to get a different player in the market this winter or Linssen this summer. As a result, Linssen was summer. I decided to win it in the winter and have continued negotiations including myself. “
(I have a question for Linssen. What are your strengths as a striker?)
“I was always playing in the forward. I’m playing with a particular focus on breaking into dangerous spaces. The most important thing is to stay calm. Opportunity I think it’s my strength to play calmly at that time. “
(I have a question for Linssen. What do you want to be called by fan supporters?)
“Is it Linssen … On the contrary, I’m glad to have everyone think of my nickname. The average height in the Netherlands is so high that it was called” Little “over there.”
(I have a question for Linssen. I got the name of Yoshida, but I think I was playing with Yuki Otsu and Robert Cullen in VVV Venlo, and Ritsu Doan in Groningen, but I got a good impression from them. Do you have any memories?)
“At VVV, I made friends with Yoshida. What I felt from him was that he was professional, he was kind to the players around him, and he was a player who helped the players around him. Doan was me. I wanted to live in the apartment where I lived, so I remember meeting face to face at that time. “
(I have a question for Linssen. What kind of advice did you receive from Yoshida recently?)
“I was in touch with him a few months ago. Yoshida was off, so I was exchanging,” I wish I might have a meal together in Japan. “
(I have a question for Linssen. Mr. Cullen is retired, but is he contributing to the Japanese soccer world by building a ground and futsal ground in Chiba prefecture?)
“I hope to see Bobby too.”
(I have a question for Nishino TD. What was the most decisive factor in the acquisition?)
“The ability required of the Reds forward is a combination of scoring ability, pressing from the front line and players around. It is a player who can do great pressing from the front line. And he is a player who can score goals from the combination, so now As a player who has the elements required for Urawa Reds forward at a high level, I have high expectations for defense, offense, and combination. “
(I have a question for Linssen. I used to play in the wing a lot, and I think I joined Feyenoord and converted to a striker in a few games. How did you acquire the ability as a striker?)
“I was originally a winger, but when I entered Feyenoord, Dick Advocaat advised me to go further inside and become a more dangerous player. From there, it takes some getting used to playing in the center. But in the end I think that decision went in the right direction. Now I’m enjoying the central position. I’m interested in confronting my opponent in the penalty area. I’m always conscious of fighting there. I’m playing while playing. “
(I have a question for Linssen. There was a story that he was a small person in the Netherlands, but I also have a strong impression of the aerial battle. I have the impression that he was not defeated by the tall center back in the Netherlands, but such a body collision What are you aware of regarding the match?)
“I think the jumping ability is high. I think the important thing is the timing. I am proud that I was in the most difficult situation in the league.”
(I have a question for Linssen. You have scored double-digit goals in quite a few seasons, but what is the reason for your stable results?)
“I always spend my days as a professional with aspirations. It wasn’t an easy task in the Netherlands. Opponents also erase their good points, so I’m always updating myself and surpassing it. We have to seek results. I think that aspirations are the number one factor that has produced stable results. “
(I have a question for Linssen. I read in the past news that I used mustard to treat my leg when it hurt, but are you still doing it?)
“I’m still doing that. In the Netherlands, many players are starting to imitate it.”
(I have a question for Linssen. It was the first time in my soccer life to leave my home country, and it was not Europe but Japan in distant Asia. How do you view this challenge?)
“I think this transfer is a big opportunity not only in soccer but also in my life. I also want to improve and evolve in various ways in my life. Going to a new place and I thought it was a good opportunity to move away from the safety zone and learn new things, so I took on the challenge. “
(I have a question for Linssen. As I mentioned earlier, I played with some Japanese players, but what kind of attitude they felt will lead to success in the J-League. Are you thinking?)
“Basically, when it comes to soccer, I don’t think it’s necessary to change what I’ve accumulated so far. As I mentioned earlier, always fight with aspirations. To succeed in Japan, Japan I want to grow while learning culture and language little by little. “
(I have a question for Nishino TD. The summer window is still open, but is Linssen the last player to win?)
“It’s the summer of the European window, so there are a lot of young and talented players who want to move to Europe, and I think we can predict that, so if that happens. I’m thinking of reinforcing it, but apart from that, I’m aware that the team formation has been completed. “
(I have a question for Linssen. There was talk of aspirations, but what made you steadily step up from the Dutch small club to reach Feyenoord?)
“Since the start of my career, I’ve talked to my agent and have grown up while formulating a plan. I’m trying to build up one step at a time, rather than taking big steps at once to find out how to reach the top. There was a concept. I think that we have accumulated it for one or two years, which has led to good results, and we have reached the present. “
(I have a question for Nishino TD. I was looking for a 9th player, but what do you think the 9th player of the Reds is?)
“I think I understand the meaning of carrying No. 9, I think I have to be a striker who will leave a name in history, and I think that a certain number of goals will be required. Plus, the customers who are watching are delighted. I recognize that he is a player who is excited, plays like “I want to see more”, and embodies the goal, so I think he is a player who can expect such a place. “
(I have a question for Nishino TD. In the last few games, we have seen promising results for the final game, but how do you view the current situation?)
“I’ve talked regarding it, but I still think the direction is correct. However, I’ve been making a lot of small minor changes. Among them, the players with individuality and the team are in one direction. There are some conflicts and conflicts with the coaches and coaches I want to bring to the team, but I think that the process for growing as a team is a matter of course. It is also true that the above unexpected things happened. It is our responsibility that we did not anticipate, but since it is soccer that various things happen, we anticipate the individual response and the team response to such things. To be honest, it took longer than that, so it was as planned to get Linsen in the summer, so I managed to maintain a place where I might aim for 3rd place in the first half of the J1 league. I was aiming for, but the fact that it took a long time and did not go well has resulted in such a situation. However, the direction is not wrong, so I think that I can continue to revive from now on. “
(I have a question for Linssen. Did Yoshida give any specific advice on the goodness of Japan or the J1 League?)
“Yoshida didn’t give me any advice,’I should play this way,’ but he knows his playing style well, and’You’ll definitely love Japan. You’ll definitely enjoy it.'” I received simple advice. “
(I have a question for Linssen. Do you have any specific goals such as the number of goals or wanting to score such goals?)
“I want to score a lot of goals. I can’t say anything regarding the number, but I’d like to talk to you regarding how much you’ve achieved in the end, always aiming for goals as you’ve always done.”
(I have a question for Linssen. Was this your first time to come to Japan?)
“It was my first time. I feel very welcomed, kind and cheerful. The club is well organized and the hotel is well-equipped. Yesterday, I had Japanese food in Urawa. I enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to it. I ate sushi and sashimi yesterday. I don’t eat raw fish in the Netherlands, but my agent told me that I should eat this. I’m already captivated. “
