-How are you feeling at the moment after a remarkable early season, scoring three goals in four games and now tied at the top of the scoring charts?
new season
It's only been four games since the start of the Central League, but I'm not overly obsessed with it. After all, the only thing that would make me happy is if we could take our place in the top scorer list at the end of the season. As for the three goals in four games, I must thank the coaching team for their guidance and my teammates for their selfless support. As a member of the team, I can't perform well without the help and trust of all of you, and that's why I'm able to play well in the team.
-At the ripe old age of 31, have you been training extra hard over the winter and spring for such a strong season?
In today's soccer world, such as Benzema, Modric, Crow and other stars are old, but as long as the field and off the field can be strict requirements, such as diet, work and rest, training and so on, will be able to continue and even improve the state. The league season ended at the end of December last year, with a three-month break. The team gathered for training at the end of March, during which I practiced every day, both physically and technically. I believe that as a professional player, this is the most basic requirement.
-You played alongside Mane when he played for Metz, and now that he's famous, he made a point of mentioning you in a recent interview, calling you one of the most outstanding players he met as a youth player. Mane considers you to be one of the best ball-handlers he has ever seen! How do you feel when you hear such comments?
Mane is a former teammate and close friend of mine, and we've known each other since we were young. I think his comments are more or less a compliment between old friends. I don't think I was the smartest or the best ball handler. Now that he has joined a top club (Bayern) in a new league and platform, I wish him the best of luck and believe that with his character and ability, he will be able to navigate the new environment.
--You had an injury-plagued career that almost ended prematurely, and now you're back in our league and back to your old self. What has been your journey like?
After the ups and downs, I appreciate the present more. I have also become more peaceful and no longer worry about gains and losses. I believe that no matter what kind of trials and tribulations I go through, as long as I keep a positive mindset, I will be able to gain something, which will also be very beneficial to my future life.

new season
The goal is to be in the first tier of the league. Personally, I'm looking forward to contributing more goals and assists to the team, as our tactics and positioning this year are very different from last year. Last year we focused more on defense and I played a lot of defense in the midfield, while this year I may have more space to play in the offense. So in order to achieve the team's goals, I hope to contribute more goals and assists this season!
