J2 Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo midfielder Spa Choke vowed to make his second consecutive win of the season on his 27th birthday. On the 22nd, the match was made at Shirahatayama in preparation for the away match against Tosu (25th). He celebrated his birthday with goalkeeper Takagi and midfielder Hayashida, and only one person avoided the blowing of blessings from his friends. “I ran away a little early,” he laughed and envisioned a further leap, saying, “I've been a professional for 10 years now. Time has passed quickly, but I want to continue to spend a good day and grow while cherishing various experiences.”
In his first return to starting pitcher after five games, he played in the home match against Toyama on the 17th with a left shadow until the 38th minute of the second half, contributing to the comeback victory of 2-1. His first match at the age of 27 was a match he was aiming for a winning streak, which was only once this season. He aims to celebrate, saying, “I want to be a catalyst for changing the tide and get three points and give it a present for myself.”
Considering injuries during camp and fatigue from expeditions for Thailand, he started six of his 12 games out of the team. The only goals he scored was his first match of the team this season against Chiba on March 9th (1●3), but he has been well received. “Up until now, even after possession, I couldn't finish, but recently I've been able to get into the goal and I've been focusing on scoring. I'd like to show that in the next match.” Taking advantage of the collaboration between multiple players that he showed in practice that day, he scored his first goal in 10 matches, increasing his chances of winning.
After two games in the match, including Tosu and Sendai (31st), they head to their third national team activity this year. “I want to win both matches.” We will do our best to achieve our goals.
