I\u2019m looking forward to working together with you all. I get fired up more in bigger games, but I score goals because of team-mates, so I\u2019m grateful for that. I\u2019d like to achieve the same here, and hopefully my goals will make everyone happy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have good memories (from Celtic) with lots of titles, so it was a wonderful three and a half, four years. Lots of fans still say hello to me, so I felt I was really lucky. But this is a new place, and I\u2019d like to do my best here. I\u2019m here to help the team. I\u2019d like to express what I can do on the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to talk a lot, but there\u2019s a chance that we can go up to the Premier League. We all want to aim for that and after nine months, it will be great if we share the happiness of achieving that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>THE BIGGER PICTURE<\/p>\n<p>Birmingham\u2019s rebuild is in full swing, with Furuhashi joining fellow summer additions Tomoki Iwata, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Demarai Gray, Tommy Doyle, and James Beadle.
