□Personal Comment
"Hello to all the FC Tokyo family. I am Albert PUIG ORTONEDA. I am truly delighted to be able to join the FC Tokyo family. It is a great honor for me to be involved as the coach in this exciting project starting next season at this great club."

I recognize that this project has various aspects, including sports, social, and human elements.

In terms of sports, we aim to build an aggressive style that loves the ball. We will pursue a style that always aims to be the main character of the match, and a style that simultaneously engages in both offense and defense with the ball.

In terms of the social aspect, we aim for all fans, supporters, club sponsors, and everyone involved with the club to unite towards a single goal. It is truly a group like a large family bound by strong ties.

We aim to continue to convey important values in life, such as respect, humility, effort, and dedication, to society from the human perspective.

The club FC Tokyo bears the name of Japan, a great country that is respected by people all over the world, and its capital. As the club name suggests, we pledge to strive daily with passion and energy to become a representative of this country.

In any project, time and patience are essential. There is no easy path to success. The only path that leads to success is the path of work and effort. And the most important thing is to have the courage to take the first step and start walking. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Indeed, we can say that today we have taken our first step.

Looking forward to the day I can meet everyone!
