◇Masato MORISHIGE Player Comment

Last year, we actually visited the hospital and everyone's smiles were impressive. This year, I wanted to visit the hospital again, but in the current situation where visits are not possible, using a video conference system was a new discovery and I was happy that we were able to implement it.
I felt that I was able to communicate more smoothly than I thought by conducting a remote visit this time. If the timing is right, I feel that it would be okay to increase the number of visits.
We would like to continue these activities.

◇Kensuke NAGAI Player Comment

I want to continue this kind of activity in the future. I also sincerely thought that I want to show more and more of my efforts on the pitch.
I hope to interact with more children through this activity. I also hope to continue visiting hospitals in the future.

◇Kashif BANGNAGANDE Player Comment

Last year, I saw on TV the players from Tokyo visiting, and this year I will be participating myself, which made me realize once again that I have become a professional soccer player.
I think it's really tough that my younger brother, who is close to my age, is playing outside and I can't do that. I want to work harder so that I can give energy to those children through my play.

Thank you very much to all the hospital staff who supported us in this activity.
