[David Moberg Karlsson]
(How do you feel after scoring a goal?)
“I felt a surge of pure joy.”

(After scoring, he went to the fans and supporters and appeared to be pointing his thumb at No. 10, but was that a sudden move?)
``There were expectations from many quarters, so I'm happy that I was able to create a chance and score a goal.''My actions seemed to live up to my expectations.''

(In the goal scene, it seemed like he was able to control the opponent according to his will with a feint, but was that his favorite play and exactly what he was aiming for?)
“People often ask me what my strong points are, and I think I was able to express them today. I think I can get even better.”

(After the goal, when I went to kick the CK, I received a big applause and I think I saw the Swedish flag. How did you feel?)
"There were a lot of uniforms with the number 10 on them and the Swedish flag, which gave me a lot of energy and was a bit of a surprise. I want to show even better plays from now on."

(I'm sure there are still many things you don't understand after just one game, but did you feel the difference between the J League and other leagues?)
“I get the impression that there are a lot of teams trying to keep possession of the ball.I get the impression that they try to pass the ball low.”

(Despite having only recently joined the Reds, we saw some good combinations, but how are you feeling?)
"The whole team was in good shape and played well today, so I don't think it's that difficult to step in at a time like that."

(After the match, you went around the stadium with Alexander Scholz and Kasper Aalund Junker. How did you feel then? What was the atmosphere like at Saitama Stadium?)
“It was a really great feeling. All three of us got the goal, and then we went around the stadium and celebrated the victory together in front of everyone, so it felt really good.”

(He showed a fresh surprise with his very quick play decisions and quick movements, but how is his condition at the moment?)
``Even though I'm going to get better, it doesn't mean I'll be able to score 10 goals, but I've been away from games for four months now, so I think I'll be able to get more involved in the games and show off my strong points.''

(Did you talk to Scholz and Kasper about scoring a goal?)
``We were talking about Scholz scoring his first goal in the J League, but basically everyone was talking about the team's victory rather than the goal, and everyone was happy about it.''
