Tanaka Satoshi: I really didn’t expect the Japanese team to recruit me, and I have to show my own characteristics when playing against the Chinese team.

July 10th According to Yahoo, Hiroshima Miragon midfielder Tanaka Satoshi, who was recruiting the Japanese team, accepted an interview with the media.

Sosaki Tanaka was injured in May and returned after two months in the match against Okayama Green Pheasant on July 5. He received this rare emergency call only two days later. He admitted: "I didn't expect it at all, so I was surprised and very happy."

"(In that game of Okayama) I didn't play the whole game (90 minutes), I only played for 45 minutes. Even if I still called me in this way, I was really grateful and happy, so I wanted to do my best. Although I don't think (status) is 100%, I don't want to make excuses and will do my best to contribute to the team."

In the context of Coach Moriboichi's hinting that the roster will be adjusted, Tanaka Sora, who did not play in the first match against China's Hong Kong team in the East Asian Cup, is likely to have a starting opportunity against China. "Whether it is defense, steals or one-on-one confrontation, I think these are all my characteristics, and I hope to show them." Tanaka Satoshi said.
