Local fans have expressed admiration for the language skills of Japan national team DF Takehiro Tomiyasu (22), who joined the English Premier League Arsenal.
Tomiyasu made his Premier League debut against Norwich on the 11th after transferring from Bologna, Italy at the transfer market this summer. The first interview video after the transfer was released on the club’s official Twitter on the 15th, and it seems that the appearance of responding to the interviewer’s questions in fluent English caught my heart.

Tomiyasu “It doesn’t matter which position you play”
When asked about his autograph with Arsenal at the beginning of the interview, Tomiyasu said, “I’m excited to be here because Arsenal is one of the biggest clubs in the world. Playing in the Premier League was a big dream when I was young. I’m happy to be here because of that, “he said.
When asked what he thought was the best position, he said, “It doesn’t matter to me because the most important thing is to play the game,” he continued with a joke.
“If the manager tells me to strike, I will strike. It doesn’t matter to me which position I play.”
Local fans were surprised to see Tomiyasu speaking in fluent English, and the club’s official Twitter account with the interview video was admired.
“I didn’t expect him to speak English already,” and “his efforts are great outside of football,” he was surprised and praised on Twitter.
In addition, Japanese fans praised Tomiyasu’s language skills, and on Twitter, he received comments such as “English is a sword,” “one of the factors that makes it possible to play an active role,” and “grabbing the hearts of Arsenal fans.”
