Kawasaki Frontale, who is aiming for consecutive championships in soccer J1, has started overall practice for the new season, and Kaoru Mitoma, who scored 13 points, which is the highest number of newcomers last year, said, "I want to be more active than last year and become the center of the team. "I said enthusiasm.
Frontale, who won the J1 championship fastest in history last year, has set the goals of consecutive league titles and the first victory of the ACL = Asian Champions League under the direction of Toru Oniki, who has been in office for the fifth year.
On the 25th, the team started the overall practice for the new season on the ground in Asao Ward, Kawasaki City, and 24 people including the main players participated.
Of these, 23-year-old Mitoma, who scored 13 points, which was the highest number of newcomers last year, and was selected as the best eleven, repeated the basic movement of "stopping and kicking" in pass practice after warming his body by running etc. I was checking.
Mitoma said, "As a team, I want to go get all the titles, and as an individual, I want to be more active than last year and become the center of the team."
Also, for the Tokyo Olympics, "I think that playing an active part in the team will increase the chances of becoming a member. First of all, I would like to concentrate on the season and practice hard so that if I am selected as a member, I can contribute to the victory." I was talking.
