“I know there is a very high standard required for central defenders at the top level in Europe and I would like the chance to develop. I think I could adapt to the different physical demands.”
Meanwhile, having watched Celtic in action for the first time on the weekend, Japan international midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura believes that he can make a significant contribution to his new club.
Nakamura was on hand at Fir Park as Celtic threw away a 3-1 lead in their 4-4 draw with Motherwell. Despite the physical nature of the match, the Most Valuable Player of the Asian Cup 2004 was undaunted and feels that he can make a difference when he makes his debut for the Bhoys on Saturday in their home match against Dundee United.
“I think I can add a bit of sparkle to the play. If I can get on the ball, then I'm sure I can make the passes to create goals,” said the former Reggina player.
“I watched the strikers and how they made their runs so that I can work with them in the future.
“It was certainly a very exciting game and a different style to the one I've been used to in Japan and Italy.”
