About my feelings

I would like to thank the team and the head coach for accepting me. There is a wonderful harmony in this team, which makes the game easier. I'm happy, but it's a team effort.

It's an indescribable emotion that you can't immediately explain or understand. I haven’t fully realized it yet, but I’m so happy because it all happened so fast.

About the forward pairing

It is crucial to put individualism aside, especially when combining with another center. We have to help each other, it doesn’t matter who scores the goal, the key is to win together.

About the outlook for the future

This goal should be a starting point rather than an ending point. I am a person who has high demands on myself and I don’t like to be satisfied with the status quo. Now we have to focus on getting to the World Cup. We cannot dwell on the past, but must concentrate on playing the remaining games and give all our efforts.

I would like to thank my family for always being with me and helping me achieve this goal.
