Albirex NiigataMF that has been called the “treasure” ofShion HommaSeized the long-awaited opportunity to challenge Europe this summer.For the first time in her life, she left Niigata and challenged the prestigious Belgian stage.Club Brugge.. “Gexaka” hit the current thoughts directly.
——I was surprised by the sudden news. Frankly, how are you feeling now?
“Honestly, the first impression was that it wasn’t what I expected, or that everyone’s reaction was even greater.”
——Probably the response was due to the club’s reputation and name recognition.
“That’s right. I think it’s a difficult club to go from J2. I’m really grateful that he really saw his play and gave me an offer.”
——I heard that you wanted to go abroad directly from Niigata.
“The supporters have been supporting me since I was little, and of course it’s my career, but considering the supporters, it’s better for the supporters to go to the world from Albirex. However, I think I can challenge overseas in a good way, so that’s what happened. “
——When did you start thinking regarding transferring to Europe?
“I’ve always said that I wanted to play abroad, but it wasn’t until I became a professional that I really wanted to play abroad. However, the Japanese league isn’t easy either. For example, Mr. Kagawa (Shinji). I got really great results, so I thought that if I mightn’t play an active part in Japan, I wouldn’t be overseas. I’m really honored to have done that. “
Leave results in the J League and go to the world
——When did you want to play in Europe as your dream?
“My dream is that I’ve been watching the Champions League, the Premier League, and the Spanish League since I was really small, and from that point on I thought,’Oh, that’s good.’ But I really go. When it comes to that, I don’t really feel it at all, or that’s the feeling. But if I go, I have to do it, and of course I have to leave results, so I’ll do my best. “
——What kind of players and teams did you long for at that time?
“I’ve been watching Barcelona all the time. I’ve been watching Messi and Ronaldinho, and I thought I was good, and I’ve always wanted to be a player who would entertain supporters like that. I came to that goal. “
——I first saw Homma when I was in junior high school. I remember that he was small at the time, but how did he improve his strengths?
“I’ve only been dribbling since I was little. Such weapons are absolutely necessary to play an active part in the Japanese league even if I go abroad, and I’ve been doing it for a long time thinking that my weapon is dribbling. , I was actively working on every opponent, and I think that the accumulation continues to my current playing style. “
In the second year of junior high school, I carried No. 10 on my back
——Did you have any physical doubts?
“It’s still tiny, but if you use tiny things as an excuse, it doesn’t make sense to play soccer, and there are many players with similar bodies to you, so you have to give them various hopes. I have to show that no matter what your physique, you can play an active role if you improve your soccer style, so I don’t think you can use the size of your body as an excuse. “
——When you ask the dribblers of the upbringing age regarding the target players, there are many players who name Homma. Do you still want to be a role model?
“If you’re not a player with special characteristics, it’s hard to say that you want to be that kind of player, and I’m very happy to hear from small children. I also went to the Premier League. I think Kaoru Mitoma is really amazing as the same dribbler, and I think that he is making various efforts, so I have to make an effort to become such an absolute player. I think. “
No. 10 in high school
——Have you ever considered and worked hard on European standards?
“After all, I have a small physique, so of course the technique at my feet is the same, but when it comes to judgment, I’ve been particular regarding where to release the ball and how long I can carry the ball. Of course, there are some parts where you have to do more muscle training to make your body bigger, but when you think regarding your own features, you will lose. I’ve always been aware of technology and judgment since I was little. “
——Are there any visions for becoming a player like this with an eye on the future?
“After all, dribbling is my weapon, so I think it would be great if I might continue to put it out. The best thing is that I can’t live in this world unless I start a professional life and get results. I felt. How much can I leave in terms of points and assists? After all, even if the play is bad for 90 minutes, if you score points in the last minute, you are a hero, so you can win the game with the player who has the strength of the game. I wish I might be a player. “

——By the way, are you aware of the Japanese national team?
“After all, the representative of Japan is a place that everyone dreams of, and I want to join, and there is a possibility that I may be able to go there, so I want to do my best with a goal. But to achieve that, I want to do my best. I really have to play in the match with my team first, and I have to leave results there. First of all, I think it will be a difficult environment, but I think it will be a difficult environment, but I will get used to it quickly so that I can play in the match as a team, and the result I hope I can do my best to get it out. “
——Club Brugge has the right to participate in the CL, but if we can get results there, I think that the possibility of the Qatar World Cup will open up in the remaining six months.
“That’s right. I hope I can aim as long as I have a chance.”
——Finally, please tell us regarding spikes.
“I’m a dribbler and I do a lot of ball touch, so I value the feeling of touch. I’m also conscious of lightness.”
——You are wearing “DS LIGHT X-FLY PRO”. Do you place importance on being natural leather?
“That’s important. I think the good thing regarding this spike is that you can feel it like bare feet at the touch.”
——It is expected that the spikes will spread due to the success of Homma. Small children may yearn for it, and what kind of thoughts do you carry when playing?
“As with Asics, I want to keep in mind that I can play soccer with the support of various people, and I want to be grateful. When I was little, the player I was aiming for was wearing it. I longed for spikes and celebrations, and since I am provided with this, I would like to do my best to play an active role and help ASICS as much as possible. “
