□ Kashif BANGNAGANDE Player Comments
"I am very happy to be selected for the SAMURAI BLUE (Japan national team) this time."
This will be my first participation, but I will do my best to leave my mark by showing my own play.
I believe being selected this time is the result of my activities with the team being recognized.
Thanks to my family, coaches, and all the fans and supporters who have supported me, I have been able to come this far. I would like to express my gratitude once again. I will do my best to repay you with my results.
Before joining, there will be a Nagoya Grampus match, so I will work hard in daily practice to be able to join the Japan national team after achieving good results.
Thank you for your support.
