Katsumura: “Have you got used to your team and life in Scotland?”
Iwata: “Yes. When I first moved to Scotland, I felt that the weather and pitch conditions were different from Japan, so I was a little confused at that time though.”
Katsumura: “What is your impression of Celtic?”
Iwata: “Celtic is a historic club and has many high-level players. That’s why I’m able to train with them at high level. I’m always training while having fun.”
Katsumura: “Have you been impressed by your teammates?”
Iwata: “Yeah, there are so many things to learn from Reo and Calum.”
Katsumura: “What do you think about Celtic supporters?”
Iwata: “Enthusiastic – I feel that this is the real football.”
Katsumura: “What about language and food in Scotland?”
Iwata: “Food in Scotland is delicious and I’m really satisfied, so I don’t have anything about food to say. I can also eat Japanese food here. And, there are many restaurants where I can eat red meat like steak. I really love that, so Scotland is the best place for me.”
Katsumura: “Please tell me about your goals and dreams.”
Iwata: “We can play in Champions League next season. But I’m not satisfied with just playing there, and my goal is to get good results.”
Katsumura: “Have you got used to your team and life in Scotland?”
Yuki: “It’s been half a year since I joined our team, so now I’m getting used to it.”
Katsumura: “Have you ever been confused after you moved to Scotland?”
Yuki: “I joined our team in the winter. The soil part of Scottish pitch is a little soft, which is different from Japan, so I often slipped during training. In order to deal with the situation, I’m making some ingenuity, such as replacing my boots flexibly.”
Katsumura: “What kind of impression did you have of Celtic?”
Yuki: “I had the strongest impression that Celtic is the club that Shunsuke Nakamura used to play. During the year I played with him at Yokohama FC in 2020, I heard a lot about Celtic and Champions League from him. And he was telling me that Celtic supporters in particular are very enthusiastic, but actually I can feel that in this place now.”
Katsumura: “Are Celtic supporters special to you?”
Yuki: “Sure, the number of times people call to me when I walk around the city is more than in Japan. In that sense, Celtic players including me can feel loved by supporters.”
That’s all.
