00:00 It's a tournament where we play every day and we get tied.
00:07 I know that our role as the second-seamers is very important so that they can have a good rest.
00:13 So, especially coming into the semi-finals, I think we made the time.
00:18 You mentioned about the points in the semis, at 3-0, did you expect this kind of outcome from the get-go?
00:25 To be honest, with the preparation we had, we didn't have as much expectation of how much we would be able to play.
00:34 So, I'm not surprised that every day everyone was so generous with the points.
00:40 So, despite the preparation, how proud are you and what did you do to make this happen?
00:48 I'm so proud of everyone and I'm so happy. Not just for the team, but for the crowd.
00:55 I think everyone was excited to do it. It's my first time playing with a national team.
01:00 It's really a different feeling to see the good and the bad everywhere.
01:04 It's a feeling that rhymes with everyone.
01:07 Near the end of the match, did you find any items potentially disrespectful?
01:13 I'm happy to be playing the team again in the final.
01:18 Now that we play in our college together, in our international team, it feels great to play.
