□Personal Comment
"Hello FC Tokyo family, my name is Albert PUIG ORTONEDA. I am extremely happy to be able to join the FC Tokyo family. It is a great honor for me to be involved as a coach in the exciting project that will start next season at this great club."

I recognize that this project has various aspects such as sports, social, and human.

In terms of sports, we aim to build an attacking style that loves the ball. We always strive to be the main players in the game, and we will continue to pursue a style that combines both attack and defense with the ball.

On the social aspect, we aim for all fans, supporters, club sponsors, and everyone involved with the club to come together towards one goal. It is truly a group bonded by strong ties, like a big family.

On the human side, we aim to fulfill the role of conveying important values such as respect, humility, effort, and dedication in life to society.

The club known as FC Tokyo bears the name of the capital of the great country of Japan, which is respected by people all over the world. As the name of this club suggests, we pledge to strive every day with passion and energy to become a representative presence of this country.

No matter what project you are working on, time and patience are essential. There is no easy path to success. The only path to success is through hard work and effort. And the most important thing is to have the courage to take the first step and start walking. Even a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Today, we can truly say that we have taken our first step.

Looking forward to meeting you all!
