【Nishino Nu TD】
“Hello everyone. Today, I would like to hold a press conference for Alex Schalk. From the end of the year window, strengthening the offensive power has been one of the challenges. This time, it became a powerful force at the end of the window. I’m very happy to have a striker to give me. I’ve often missed points in recent games, so I have one option to solve those team’s challenges. I hope it will be a force. Thank you for your time today. “
[Alex Schalk]
“Hello, I’m Alex Schalk. I’m 29 years old. I’m a Dutch citizen. I’ve gained experience across the Dutch, Scottish, and Swiss leagues. I want to start a new challenge. I’m very excited and looking forward to it. “
[質疑応答]
(I have a question for Sharq. What was your first feeling when you received an offer from the Reds and what was the deciding factor for joining?)
“It was a time when my body was looking for a new challenge at the end of my contract in Switzerland. I was excited and interested in this project when I heard regarding new opportunities from scouts and various people. I remember. Then I talked firmly with my agents and scouts, left a blank slate with Servette FC, and decided to come to the Reds.
And one of the big reasons was that I wanted to come to a big club called Urawa Reds and win the title. I decided to join Urawa Reds because there were many factors that triggered me and matched my mentality. “
(I have a question for Nishino TD. I got Kasper Junker at the same timing last season, but you probably wanted to get it in time for the training camp, but what did you care regarding and took your time?)
“It’s a difficult question. There are various factors involved in the transfer of players, such as the timing and the circumstances of the club that owns it. Ideally, we should join from the beginning of the season, but various factors are involved, and this time it is this timing. I did. “
(I have a question for Nishino TD. I think there was a problem with the foreigner quota in the AFC Champions League, but in this year’s regulation, Sharq will be in the total of 35 quotas, and will he be a member for each match? Will you be in a state to choose?)
“Since Sharq has already been registered in the ACL, we can play. I think that the coaches and coaches will select members for each match.”
(I have a question for Sharq. What is your greatest strength? Do you enjoy the goal? Or do you like being involved in various attacks?)
“I feel the importance of scoring, but I also feel the threat to the opponent, especially the existence that threatens the opponent in the box, which is the characteristic of an attacking player. Assist is also important. Always I’m proud to have the mentality to give 100%, 120%, 1 minute 1 minute, and keep fighting to the end in every match. “
(Are there any nicknames you would like fans and supporters and teammates to call?)
“In Europe, it was often called Sharkey. Alex is fine. I haven’t decided that much.”
(I have a question for Sharq. I think Sharq has a special feature in the movement inside the box. Such strikers are sometimes called box-in-the-box in Europe, but what kind of movement do you think your movement is? ?)
“It’s an interesting question. Basically, you can use both feet, and when you need to make a turn and aim for a shot from a difficult angle, the quality, speed and angle of the run that enters the box, the ball from the player under the top I think that the required movement, running once morest the cross from the wing, such factors are important and I think that it is a strong point. It is called the sense of smell to the goal, but the ball is predicted where it will come with the sense of smell. I think the point is to aim for the goal by controlling with a delicate ball touch. “
(I have a question for Sharq. I am not tall as a center forward, but when I look at the strength of the game before the goal, I get the impression that it is similar to Filippo Inzaghi and Antonio Di Natale. Was there a player or a player you longed for?)
“(Sergio) Aguero was the best idol. I’ve been watching Aguero’s movements since I was young. I think the play style is a little similar, but I’m not the 9th type like Aguero. But I can play in various positions on the front line, and I think that is a strong point. “
(I have a question for Sharq. I think that eye contact with allies and requesting a pass will be the lifeline of the goal, but what is important in communication?)
“I think the most important thing is the feeling with your teammates. It takes time to share that feeling. I’ve only been training here for a few days, but it’s a natural feeling. The ring is sprouting steadily. Communication is important, but I think that the feeling and compatibility on the pitch are also very important. I run a lot on the front line, and the timing of running is also an ally. I think that it will be improved steadily depending on the feeling and compatibility with the players, various factors to break through the situation will increase, and other things will also improve. However, I think it will take some time. “
(I have a question for Sharq. Why did you change your uniform number to 17?)
“When I made my debut as the U-21 Netherlands national team, my uniform number was 17. That’s the number one reason. It’s a number I have a strong feeling for.”
(I have a question for Nishino TD. Do you expect the Reds to play the 9th role for Sharq or do you expect a wider range of play as Sharq explained?)
“If you want a forward player, scoring ability, combination with other players, and defensive ability are very important factors. Sharq thinks that these three are high players on average. I hope that he will play not only in the top but also in the wide and under the top. As for the story of whether it is number 9 or not, we asked other players to prove it this season, and everyone I hope you will become an ace to admit. “
(I have a question for Sharq. I heard that he is vegan, but have you had any difficulty eating since you came to Japan?)
“There is nothing wrong with it so far, and it’s in very good condition. The staff and nutritionists around me are helping me, and the Reds cafeteria is preparing for that. The other day, it’s very good. I also found a great vegan restaurant and had a good lunch. Continuing vegan is not easy, but I think I made a good decision, so I will continue my vegan life and myself I want to carry out the challenge of
(I have a question for Sharq. It’s been a few days since I joined, but how do you feel regarding the atmosphere of the team and the characteristics of the Japanese people?)
“I think I’m really in an amazing and wonderful environment right now. That’s what I’ve felt since the first day I came. Everything is perfect and the pitch conditions in the driving range are great. The quality of the players around me and the training. I think the attitude and quality of everything is high. In European clubs, there are a few players who are a little lower in level, but all Urawa Reds players are of high quality. Very good. I think I’m playing soccer in a good posture. It’s easy to spend every day, everyone talks to me in the locker room, and everyone supports me very well, so I’m very satisfied with the current situation. “
(I have a question for Nishino TD. I think that the reason for acquiring not only the level as a player but also the humanity as a club and Nishino TD, but at the negotiation table and the training of the past few days, the humanity of Sharq player How do you feel regarding your behavior?)
“I think the play style tells me what kind of person he is, and he always works 100% on training. Personalities who are willing to sweat for other teammates. , The general personality part is very important, so I gathered information regarding that area in advance. Rockers who make jokes and shake stories that connect the players around them. There was also information that he was a popular person in the room and that he was such a core player. Personality is important, so that goodness was also a big factor in acquiring it. Participating in training It’s only been a few days since then, but I can hear his loud voice. I think he’s starting to show that kind of leadership on the pitch, calling the ball, giving instructions to his friends, and so on. I think you can expect it. “
