I can only say that I've found a wonderful spot at Borussia Dortmund, where I can play football. I feel comfortable here.

Football has given me so many opportunities in life and now I want to play my role in supporting others through the game.

If you don't concentrate during a national team match you can just as easily get injured, so I want to make sure I can focus.

I should be flexible enough to play in a number of roles, so I am a more attractive player to the team and can contribute even more.

Those who can keep achieving results are the big players at the big clubs. If you cannot get the results, you just can't play and move away.

In my time here, I've seen that Borussia Dortmund has developed steadily. We have become German champions and played in the Champions League.

I know and I am very proud that in my home country Japan and all over Asia millions of people are interested in BVB and follow us on a daily basis.

There were a lot of things that you cannot experience in other places. I felt that Manchester United are a big club with fans and attention all over the world.

When playing for Japan, it means that I carry my country on my shoulders and I feel a different kind of pressure as I am expected to do more when playing for Japan.

When I left the club, I said in an interview that my chapter with Borussia Dortmund was not over. I just wanted to realize my dream of playing in the Premier League.

Iniesta is my ideal player. I've watched him throughout my career and hoped to be like him. It's fun to watch him play and that's the kind of football I'd like to play.

The really crucial thing here at BVB is that everyone works together so hard as a team. I'm a part of that, and I'm delighted I've been able to contribute to our good results.

Every day I am learning how to trouble my opponents on the left, how best to cause them problems with my movement. But I would still like to be capable of taking up more positions.

Since Japan is little known in football in the world, we want to play good football and make a huge impact so that we can make the world realise the presence of the Japan football team.

I used to play for Dortmund, I have friends there and the fans know me so I want to experience that dread of going to that stadium as the away team and I'd like to see how Dortmund would react.

There was a lot of passion with Klopp, I felt that most in the dressing room before games. He always had a big smile. He hugged every player. I loved his attitude - he was never nervous. He gave us confidence.

I definitely feel the attention of the media globally now I am a member of a great squad like Manchester United. Everything here at the club shows me I have come somewhere really big. But I think I can take the pressure.

Football inspires and excites people like nothing else on the planet, and what I love about Common Goal is that it channels this passion in a way that makes a real difference to disadvantaged communities around the world.

Jurgen Klopp will change Liverpool. He is a great coach and in the end his results will prove it. Every moment I had with him is a good memory. He treated me so well, taught so much, even though I was from Japan and not at all famous.

Klopp never wanted us to get carried away. He never wanted us to think of ourselves as champions, even though we were top of the league. He wanted us to focus on ourselves, not to listen to what people were saying about us. It was all about the next game and only the next game.
