Comments

"Thank you so much for everything over the past nine years since I joined the Elite Class. I am sorry I was not able to say goodbye to the fans and supporters in person. It was a real honor to play for Cerezo Osaka in the 100 Year Vision League, and I genuinely enjoyed every single match. Cerezo Osaka is the club where I grew up, and part of me wanted to keep wearing the pink shirt. But when I looked ahead to where I want to be in four years' time and thought about the kind of player I want to become, I felt that now was the right time to make this decision. Cerezo Osaka is the club I love the most, and that will never change. Even though I will be playing for a different team, I will always be supporting Cerezo. Thank you so much for everything! I'm off!"
