On April 3rd, after Meiji Yasuda J1 League Round 6 against F.C.Tokyo, Thiago Santana, who scored his second consecutive goal, talked about his goal and his future.

(Since you scored your first goal of the season in the previous match, were you able to approach the game in a different mood?)
``I haven't been able to score many points so far, and today's goal was an important one for me.However, this year I have a new team and new teammates, so it took a little time, but I want to contribute even more to the team from now on.'' I think I will be the one to score the points."

(Did you know from analysis etc. when the opponent's goalkeeper would come forward in the scoring scene, or did you have an image of it at that moment while observing during the match?)
“I knew from analysis that he would be involved in the build-up, but when it came to scoring, I made my decision the moment I saw him coming forward.”

(He was dribbling about 20 meters, but had he already decided to shoot at that first step?)
“I received a pass from Hiroki Sakai, and at first I was about to pass it to Ken Iwao. However, before I could pass, the ball bounced, and while I was dribbling, I looked ahead and saw the goalkeeper. I made a decision based on that."

(Have you ever taken a longer shot?)
"I think this was my best long shot. I've aimed like that several times before, but this is the first time I've hit it."
