For the past five years, I have been traveling around Japan, interacting with farmers, craftsmen, and sake makers, visiting shrines and temples, and learning about traditional Japanese culture. I left Japan at the age of 21 to play in Italy, so I didn't know much about Japanese culture, which is why I chose to travel in Japan after retiring from football, and I wanted to be the best voice for Japanese culture. ”

What do you think about the removal of the foreign player restriction?

I think I should be in the squad against Juventus, and if I don't, I would be surprised. As for the removal of the restrictions on foreign players, I only found out about it after the game.

Do you think the rules of the new game are reasonable?

I do not know. I don't have a problem with myself anyway.

How do you feel about playing so well against Juventus?

I was so excited at the moment of the goal that I was calm. There are still games left, and we can't take it lightly yet. In short, keep pushing forward.

You scored a beautiful goal against Juventus years ago, which goal do you think is more important?

Both times are important. However, the goal against Juventus should be more important this time, as it is about the Serie A title.

What were your thoughts on Juventus' first goal?

A little satisfied, that's all. Because at that time Rome was still far behind.

Montella scored the second goal with you to credit it too.

I think it's a little bit. However, this is nothing either. Because shooting is just a very ordinary thing for me.

Not so (laughs). Maybe I'm quite shy. Calmness is my personality trait, and I'm not good at putting on a show.

Roma have already qualified for next year's Champions League, will that be an important factor in your stay?

Well, it's already next season, and now I just want to train hard and prepare for the remaining league games and win the league title.

What is the relationship with the club?

It's been a tough season and I've had to be prepared to not play all the time. However, I felt that this experience in Rome was important.

If you leave Roma, will you give preference to Italy or other countries?

I don't know now.
