Apparently did a weirdly frank interview with "sports hoshi" after the Wolves game, transcription and translation is taken from the lfc subreddit.
Sitting on the bench for the previous two Premier League matches
Sitting on the bench isn't due to anything I'm lacking. This team can already do it all so I was prepared for this when I joined, although I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's inevitable I'm not seeing any time. It's important to take all of the chances like this one I've been given today.
Wolves
The opposition is a brilliant side and it's clear how they want to play. Supplying the ball to players up the pitch, making advancing runs with players who can do it solo, and putting their bodies on the line defensively. Winning the second ball was one of the keys to the match so that was a primary focus. There were moments where I was successful and others not so much. It's something I need to work on for the future.
Playing on the right
Rather than thinking about the side I'm playing on, I think it makes more sense to think about which fullback I'm linking up with. Developing a mutual understanding with the other player on what the other wants to do would make things a lot easier, but I'm not too worried about that right now (because it's so early). I'll always try to look for ways to improve that aspect.
Changes in the second half
At the beginning of the second half I was playing like an advanced CM, towards the middle of the pitch. In terms of effectiveness, I wasn't able to receive the ball in good positions. If I were able to receive the ball looking forward, it would have created more chances. I think it would have been a lot better if I were able to find the correct positions a little more quickly.
The positives and points to improve
There were moments where I would have been free inside the box if I had been fed the ball. I need to find more opportunities where I can receive the ball between the lines and face forwards. When I get a better understanding of the positions, I think I'll be able to make my own plays.
The difficulty of joining a complete team that have played together for years
There's nothing I can do about it. I was prepared for it when I joined. I just have to struggle and survive. I've finally come to this stage, and I feel like I've just gotten started.
3 weeks since joining practice, all that's left is getting experience on the pitch
Definitely. There are scenes I can only experience while on the pitch. It also helps me figure out what I don't understand yet. The opportunity came suddenly today, but it was really good to be able to experience such a close match.
How the equalizer felt
We were equalized after I had been introduced to the pitch, so I wanted to create the opportunity to lead. After the team scored the second I was trying to make simple plays and focus on defense.
Intense movement on the pitch
That's what I've been preparing to do, and being able to do it suddenly is what it means to be a professional. I think that's the minimum expectation.
Mental condition
There is definitely stress involved with adapting to a new environment, but I just have to do it. If I can't then [my career at Liverpool] is finished.
Dealing with the pressure
I didn't feel any pressure at all. I don't know if people have high expectations for me or not, but I have nothing to lose, so no pressure. I'm just an asian guy... I don't know how to say it. I really have nothing to lose. Is the internet/television going crazy? I don't feel it at all. Maybe today was the first time I've really been judged. I think it's just the beginning in that regard as well. I hope to continue making my own plays in the future.
Feeling like part of the squad
I do feel like I'm a part of the squad. But I want to be accepted for my performance on the pitch like "wow, this guy is good". I've been able to do it so far [in my previous teams], but I truthfully want to force my teammates to have to accept me.
On English
Still not good at all... I'm starting to understand more, but I'm still not able to communicate well yet. I especially felt it in today's match. I think it's really important so I hope I can improve gradually.
Certainly is not under any illusions that he has "made it", that's for sure.
