My idol and what I’d ask them
My idol is Pedri of FC Barcelona, and I'd ask him what the most important thing you should do is before you receive the ball.
My dream job if I hadn’t become a professional footballer
As a child it was always my dream to be a footballer. If I think ahead to my life after football now, I'd like to work as a barista for a while.
Sports I like besides football
Besides football, I'm particularly enthusiastic about baseball.
My favourite travel destination
My favourite travel destinations are Japan and Hawaii.
My favourite food
I most like eating sushi, chicken wings and gyoza.
My favourite book and why I’d recommend it
My favorite book is “Oreshikainai” by Ritsu Douann, and I'd recommend it because it's very helpful for mental health.
Best memory with FC Bayern
The day I signed my contract at FC Bayern.
Strangest moment in football
The craziest experience was the World Sevens Tournament.
How I calm down when I'm annoyed after a game
Good food helps, or I speak to my family or friends.
Most exciting football match
That was 2011, when Japan won the World Cup.
My pre-match ritual
I like to eat udon or soba noodles before a match.
