Thank you for your warm support.
Continuing from part 1, Nakamura Kyoga looks back on this season.
(Part 1: http://www.albirex.com.sg/en/archives/37873/)

Nakamura told us about his individual performance.
 

 
 

I got confidence by evaluation from people around me and played well throughout the season.

 
 
Leaded the team with the best sense of attack
 
 
--You were starting player for all SPL games except one game and scored 7 goals and had 8 assists in this season. Why could you be active in this season?

Nakumura　Because I prepared well for the games. I take pride in devoting so much of my time to football more than anybody. On the other hand, I wish I could have done much better in this season.
 

 
 
--You were selected the Singapore selection team, Young player of the month, and Team of the year and obtained a good appraisal.

Nakumura　The team didn’t achieve good results. In that time, I was frustrated to receive the awards. Our team got me to win the awards, so I think that the awards are not just for me. However, I was really happy SPL gave me a good appraisal. I felt confident about myself because it was the first time to win an award as a professional football player.

 
 
--Please mark your play throughout this season out of 100.

Nakamura　I mark 60. Because I think both our team and me could achieve better results.
 

 
 
--What is your confidence?

Nakamura　I could know that my breadth of vision and my technique worked in SPL. It gave me confidence. If I can improve my play which is not very consistent, SPL has many transitions. 
I need to improve my defense technique which I recognize as my issue from before. However, as my interception rate increased in accordance with the second half of the season, I think my skill has been improving.


 
 
--You scored many middle-range shot in this season. Did you try to score middle-range shot?

Nakamura　Yes. 6 out of 7 goals I have scored were middle-range shot. As my position dropped back this season, I have been practicing middle-range / long-range shots for a year. I was happy that the practice led to a better result.

 
 
--Your goal in the game against Home United*1 was especially superb goal.

Nakamura　Thanks. As I saw that GK moved forward, I shot. Then I thought calmly about how I got a goal. It was good that I got a goal according to practice.
 

 
 

Goals dedicated to important people

 
 
--Speaking of Nakamura, the performance after your goal was memorable. What did the performance mean?
A unique goal performance that makes W with pieces of both hands

 
Nakamura　It meant that I offer my goal to my best friend and relative who died when they were young.

 
 
--Before a game, we often saw you raised your forefinger of the left/right both hands. Did this performance also have special meaning?

Nakamura　It was exercise for ocular muscle. I heard that it was training to expand eyesight and develop sense of distance and started this training when I was in my final year of high school. Thanks to that, I have come to be able to make a long pass better than before. So I make it a rule to do this training before a game.

--Did you have any other routines before a game?

Nakamura　I did core stretching each time. I saw the pictures of important people such as my family and my friends and lifted my mood that I will do my best for the people cheering for me. In addition, I watched the movie which I gathered my great play so that I can play a game with good image and made a bow when stepping onto a pitch. These are my routine.
