□Leon NOZAWA Player Comment
"First of all, thank you very much for always giving us warm support in every game."
I have decided to transfer to Matsumoto Yamaga FC on a developmental loan.
I have had various experiences over the past six months and have been given many opportunities, but I have not been able to meet the expectations of the fans and supporters by producing results, and I have felt my own lack of ability.
As a player who fights for the club, as a single blue and red warrior, I have come to this decision because I believe I cannot contribute to the team's victory and the future of Tokyo as it is.
The cheers I received when playing with the emblem on my back at Ajinomoto Stadium still remain hotly in my heart.
I want to continue building from scratch so that I can respond with even bigger results.
I will come back as a striker with a smile, having grown one or two sizes.
I am truly grateful for the warm welcome back, even though it was a short time.
We will continue to do our best so that we can proudly return home. Thank you for your continued support!
Thank you very much. And I'm off!"
